Man, this show just keeps getting better and better. I think it’s got the right amount of violence and deceit, great and believable writing, decent suspense, and thoroughly enjoyable character development and plot-lines.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the gay officer was found out, but last night, when the door got kicked in and Vic hauled the cops partner out with the parting shot “You’re boyfriend can lock up, can’t you _officer_,” I was just grinning ear to ear with surprise. That should take care of any further problems from that guy.

I wonder what’s going to happen to the Captain for leaking I.A. reports to the press. Leaking information is one thing, confidential documents is entirely another.

I think that the Captain is going to look really, _really_ stupid when Julian rescinds his statements about Mackey.  
“What do you mean you change your mind!? It’s too late now!”  
“Look, I realized I was mistaken…”  
Oh man, all the possible implications and outcomes of the ending of last night’s episode are amazing…I can’t wait to see how it plays out!  
I like this show so much, I’ll even forgive the constant commercials for the past 6 months. :rolleyes:

Also, last night I loved the “medium” sub-story. I said to my husband, “I know it’s not real, but I hope they get that thievin’ bitch, it’ll be so satisfying.”

This is without a doubt the best show on TV. I never know what’s going to happen - after the first episode I’m on permanent “no cast member is immune from getting blown away” alert…
