Even though Sopranos is still the best show of all time to me, The Shield is a close 2nd. Great story, characters, and pretty fucking violent. That final episode was fawkin brutal!
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Where we at with The Shield?

Shane was such a peice of shit. I loved that show.
It's a top 5 show for me. The best ending in TV history as far as I'm concerned.
I passed the opportunity as the main character, said i was too masculine
Sorry lem I had to!
Greatest show ever, above sopranos imo.
I think the Vic Mackey character is a far more complex and interesting anti-hero than Tony Soprano. At the end of the day, I think Tony was just a narcissistic piece of shit; a big fat Italian baby who only understood his way. Vic could be nasty, cruel and borderline sociopathic, but the means served an end, security for himself, his crew, and his family. Of course, I haven't watched the show in over ten years so my perspective may change upon a second viewing.
All I do know is that actor who played the gay cop is in prison for killing his wife.

i remember reading an interview with the show runner and he said Vic always moves forward in life and in his mind Vic probably has a new wife and kids and a new set of best friends by now. So working an office job probably isn't the terrible fate for him that some people seemed to think.
i remember he called the cops on himself after he killed her because their kids were in the house. he also shot her in the legs because she was a track and field athlete. fawking brutal.
I don't know if I'd say it's the best show ever but it's up there. It does have the greatest finale and some of the greatest characters to be on television.
Greatest finale of all time. Excellent show.

Best show imo, prefer it to Sopranos. Like the LA setting and how everything goes downhill from the first episode.
what would you have done?
They said I was two feet too tall
It's a hard watch for me because it's very dark, and brooooddddiiiinnnggggg.
But it's a really well written show. Most series like this limp to the last season, but that last year was really intense, and seeing Vic lose EVERYTHING at the end - and learn NOTHING - must've been a very "whoa" moment when it aired (I saw this years after, mind you). It's very rare when you see the main character have his whole life fall apart to end a series, moreso back then than now.
At least Ryan didn't puss out in the finale like Chase did. "Don't Stop Believing" indeed.

Agreed. The whole last season is amazing and paid off everything especially if you watched from the beginning.
