The Shield - About damn time!!!

[BillyG]

Amazon has a pre-order for the complete series DVD set for like $107. Looks like it drops in November. First I have heard about this.

Holy shit! You guys see Billings on HOUSE last Monday?!?!

I never thought about the potential of Vic taking his own life. I always figured him looking at his gun was sorta his own way to cope with the fact that he'll be anchored to a desk for 3 years, and that he won't be needing a gun anymore. It was the one thing that defined him as an individual.

So excited that they decided to release the entire series on DVD. I'll be giving this to myself as an early X-mas gift.

[zak chase]

That gun is a signifier that while this may look like the end of the line for Vic, that it may appear he's backed into a corner and out of options, he's not going to ever quit looking for a way out, a way back into the game. The gun shows that even when consigned to his own personal hell, Vic ain't giving up.

[Master Shake]

If you don't own the entire series on DVD yet, now's a pretty good time.

Damn, $110 + tax for all of it. Dammit, I don't have the disposable income for this!

[grubstreeter]

I've been buying less and less DVDs/BRs these days. I'm a collector at heart, but owning a physical copy of a piece of media is going the way of the dodo. If I want to go through the Shield again, I'll Netflix it while I wait for unlimited on demand streaming to become a reality.

But you won't get the great commentaries. Anyone listened to the commentary for the finale or the rest of season 7 yet?

[The Closer]

Coincidentally I rewatched the last 2 episodes just last night. Completely forgot about the commentary, so Ill have to give that a whirl tonight.

[History Buff]

So what (besides commentary) are some of the complete series DVDs bells and whistles? Cause If I'm going to get The Shield Dvds its going to be the complete series.

[Nabster]

On how many episodes are there commentaries? How many episodes of the final season have commentaries? If the final season has complete commentaries, I think I'd get it.

[BankytheHack]

I know every episode for Seasons 1 and 7 have commentaries.

[mediumdave]

No they don't. For some reason, a handful of episodes don't have commentaries. I would say approx. 80-90 percent of the episodes have commentary.

As for other stuff, there's usually a couple of deleted scenes per ep and some cool documentaries.

[Subotai]

John Diehl is doing some work on Friday Night Lights. Terrific as a space cadet art teacher.

[Bluelouboyle]

I've been trying to watch FNL online, but no luck. It only got literally 35,000 viewers in the UK when it was first shown. Ther's Itunes but that's like 1.50 quid (about $2)per episode!!

[Jan]

Just a heads-up for the European Chewers:

Amazon.co.uk has the complete series for mere 49.95 Pounds. Now that´s a deal!

[BankytheHack]

For anyone that might be missing an individual season or two, I've seen each season of The Shield for $19.99 at a few of my local Wal-Marts over the past two weeks.
