Anyone else a fan of this show?

I just watched the second to last episode that aired tonight... It has setup the series finale next week pretty well.

I am looking forward to a tragic ending... Anyone think we will see something different?

I see Ronnie killing Vic and either running away, or getting arrested. Shane probably gets arrested... or commits suicide.

I'm a huge fan. Shane looks like he's on the verge of a breakdown. I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens to him. I actually thought he was going to shoot the female cop last night.

After Vic spilling his guts to the FBI, there is no way they will give Ronnie the same deal, but I think Vic will help Ronnie out somehow.

I have a feeling something goes wrong with the drug bust and the FBI will try and get Vic. She said that is anything goes wrong, it violates the agreement.

90 minute finale next week. Should be awesome!!

Dutch is going to kill Vic - that guy has been a spineless whimp the whole series and it will come out of no where. Ronnie will run after the drug bust is done to Mexico.

I'm a huge fan, and have been getting into Sons of Anarchy also (aside: I didn't realize that it follows the plot of Hamlet until just a few weeks ago).

As for the ending to The Shield next week, I think Ronnie and Shane end up dead (props to erikbj for the idea that Dutch takes somebody out) and Vic ends up in prison. Regardless of what happens, I can't wait for next week's finale.

And, I definitely thought Shane was going to shoot that female cop last night (can't remember her name, but I can remember what she looks like :wink:)

it was pretty intense before Vic started talking to the feds. I thought maybe he was going to walk away instead of admitting to all the stuff.

I loved his line about the recorder. "how much memory does that have" ha.

now that you mention Dutch, I could see him getting Vic in the end. I hope not though. I don't want Vic going down to a sissy like him.

As pissed off as Claudette was for the feds giving Vic a deal, I could see her saying F this, and start shooting up the Barn. she's starting to lose it.

oh yeah, i could see that to. there are still alot of loose end. not sure how they will tidy them all up. vic still needs to find out that his wife was trying get rid of him. its gonna be a great show, to bad its ending. its been my favorite show since its debut.

I think Vic gets away scott free...he always does.
Ronnie too..Vic will work something out for him.
Vic will either never find out about his wife or forgive her.

Claudette will die, she's sick.
I could see Dutch doing something dirty to set up Vic and getting caught for it...

And Shane, he dies and so does the unborn baby....

Who knows?

I'm still predicting a tragic ending. Either Vic in jail or dead. The only one that maybe makes it is Ronnie... but I think Ronnie may end up offing Vic... he is the one who has wanted to kill Shane all along.

I dunno, I really think that Vic ends up killing Shane just as he promised.

I also loved the comment when the fed lady asked Vic if he was done and he says, "How much memory does that thing have?"

I think Vic will get killed in the finale.

Heres why: Now that he works for ICE his family will get all the benefits if he dies. He knows that one little mistake and everything he said will be used against him. He WILL tell Ronnie so he can flee to Mexico. Shane will need to get his wife to the hospital and will think they will get a lighter sentence by him ratting on Vic but they will just use it all against him and his wife and they will be sentenced to Life in prison or Death.
That is the way I think Vic wants it to go down. His family is taken care of, Ronnie stays out of prison and Shane goes down.

Maybe its just me, and I have yet to see tonights episode, it's DVR'd at home, but I have a strange feeling it will be like the Soprano's ending. The show will just end, with no one really knowing how it ended.

i thought it was a good ending. the whole series Vic was in charge. but he left basically helpless. does not know where his family is, he is stuck behind a desk, ronnie gets taken infront of him. i liked it.

I loved it, I didn't like the last couple minutes when I first watched, but as I thought about it more it was pretty perfect. The whole deal with Shane really got to me. The desperation and the way it all ended of course.

Vic is in a "prison" of his own...good ending.

Gotta love the Vic smirk as he puts his gun on and goes home.

SPOILERS:
Well... I was close... Ronnie got arrested, Shane committed suicide... I didn't see him killing his family coming though. That was very disturbing.

I thought it was a great final episode. It tied up all the loose ends, but still left you with a couple of questions that you can tie up in your own mind.

I'm gonna miss this show.

Can't wait for Rescue Me to come back.
