The Shield is Raised - For One Final Season - Caption Hunt!
Show Viewing Date: 9-2-2008
Show Title: The Shield - The Coefficient of Drag
Network: FXHD
Reviewed By: Mike Wilkerson - 2GuysTalking
Intro:
The 9 o'clock hour arrived. I sat down in front of my plasma screen tuned to FXHD - to witness the onset of the final season of what is easily one of the most satisfying television shows for me in recent memory - The Shield - starring Michael Chiklis and a cast that simply will not stop impressing. The credits of the movie on prior to this episode fade to black - a thunderous roar begins as a blood-red badge emerges as the letters T, H, and E fall into place. A gunshot is heard and the badge shifts to a broken, but now somehow stronger version of itself as the world "SHIELD" falls into place, presented with limited commercial interruption by Bud Light (as will this entire final series of episodes this season). It's time, for the first of the last great episode reviews of The Shield - The Final Season, on The 2GuysTalking Caption Hunt.
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 any of the future or "Tribute to The Shield" segments featured captioning. 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. Let's get with the PROGRAM, FX. Spend some of that money that Busch is throwing through on captioning the many advertisements that you showcase. You won't be sorry you did.
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. As with everything that is review-based, there ARE elements in this review that will destroy this episode for those that haven't seen it yet, so READ ON AT YOUR OWN PERIL! Read on for more and remember I'm ALWAYS looking for you to chime in with your thoughts on mine.
