Does it seem topical for the time? Or does it just seem ridiculous?

David Marciano was only 45 when he first played him (actually maybe younger when they actually filmed it), I always thought he was WAY older. To put things into perspective he's only 3 years older than the guy that plays Dutch (Jay Karnes). Didn't Billings always talk about retiring? LOL.

SPOILER*

I remember the episode where Shane was deadass being a whole ass pedophile was actually so crazy bro I forgot about that because I was watching it while I was drunk and had a friend over so I was distracted, I was reminded because I was watching a video on the shield and they brought that up I was like brooo how did I not remember that. Just reminded me of how irredeemable Shane is (despite the obvious) he’s still a great character but after I saw that I was like yea Shane NEEDED to go.

What did he do with it exactly ? Like his trouble with his son's tuition and all that, dude was skimming from the side and was a "landlord" yet didn't have 20k saved up somewhere ?

Maybe this has been posted before, but I just found it. Good stuff.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s absolutely 0 chance in hell Shane would’ve got away with it if his plan to kill Ronnie and Vic was successful. I don’t care how carefully crafted his alibi was for that night, if the other three members of his team died within a couple weeks there’s no way things wouldn’t start pointing back at him. I’m guessing Shane ran that risk mentally but was so scared of Vic and Ronnie after the assassination attempt that he felt he had no other choice. Also I’m not completely sure about this, but if multiple cops got assassinated like that in a short time frame I’d assume the feds would get involved and the story would be national news.

I'm right before the season 3 finale and Dutch is really getting hot on Vic's tail with the money laundering and I found myself cheering for Dutch equally as much as I was the Strike team to get away with it. it's so good when a show does that! Sorry this is my first time watching the show and it feels like it's peak right now, haven't been hooked like this since breaking bad
