Intro:

I can't always remember when the days begin to get shorter, but one thing is sure - The Shield's season is getting shorter. As the days get shorter, so do the chances that the entire cast is gonna' get out alive and in one piece. The tension continues to ratched into the stratosphere. We're three episodes in, and It's time, for the third of the last great episode reviews of The Shield - The Final Season, on The 2GuysTalking Caption Hunt as we review "Money Shot."

Previews/Commercials Captioned: No, and No - Sigh. While many of the commercials (but not all had closed captioning), NONE of the feature film trailers presented, nor was the new an familiar idea "The Shield: A Three Minute Review. What's strange is that this show, along with many others on FX has some of the BEST in-show captioning so the irony of there being none in the gargantuan advertisements is strange at best.. It's another one of those baby-step moments for a show that has what is easily one of the best closed captioning sets that serves as a model for other shows that are still in their closed captioned infancy. I continue to not understand how the money that is flowing through an advertiser like Busch, doesn't some how make these auxillary materials also closed captioned. Does anyone have a contact name or company that we can have intervene before the season is complete? Perhaps an attempt to ensure that other FX shows ARE and will be closed captioned? Let us know.

Opinion Review: My reviews for this final series of The Shield episodes will mirror the same style I've used in the past that allows me to comment with a broad brush that gives you, the reader, maximum impact by giving you detail of what I see and "think" as I'm watching the show. read on for more and remember I'm ALWAYS looking for you to chime in with your thoughts on mine.
