90 minutes tonight, that’s like…1.5 Shields dude!
A link to last week for your viewing pleasure is here
I predict that many questions will be answered tonight, and that many more will be asked.
Oh yeah…
Spoilers ahead!
Less than one hour to go…and I can’t bring myself to give predictions. This show always seems to confound me.
OK, just one…and an obvious one at that - none of the strike team will be killed.
OK, another - Antwoine does not name Vic. He may name Shane, but more likely he’ll name Armi (sp?). Why? Because he still has a belief that Vic is dirty and will come through for him (Antwoine is done with Shane, it’s clear to him that Shane has zero pull).
My prediction is a shocking one, but I will stick with it:
Either Lem or Ronnie is going down. I’m leaning toward Lem at this point.
That is the first time I have ever seen this show go to commercial after the opening song. Must need some filler time for 90 minutes.
Not to mention that the previews were very, very long.
Although, I will note that I have seen this show go to commercial after the initial song, but only maybe once or twice.
It’s now one hour into the show, and I have no idea how it’s going to turn out. Can’t beat that.
That scene in the interrogation room was incredible. Glenn Close was better than she has been to date, and Anthony Anderson was incredible once again.
Looks like Shane is ready to set things straight, but I can’t imagine he will actually get to go through with it.
I am also wondering why they showed the preview of Dutch killing the cat.
Yeah, see, even if the Strike Team gets away with this, Glenn Close is way too hard and smart for them. I don’t think, in the end, she’s buying this.
The Dutch preview seen really confused me too, thought that was water under the bridge.
He was recounting his own experience in the interrogation room with the murder suspect, getting into his head, trying to get him to relive the experience of strangling the girl. Dutch recounted it so vividly because he had killed the cat, and knew exactly what the serial killer must have been thinking and feeling. I missed the flashbacks at the beginning, but immediately thought back to Dutch killing the cat in season 3, and knew what he was referring to.
Emmys for female actor, male actor, and writing?
Hindsight being 20/20, the preview was for Dutch’s interrogation of the sociopath. He knew what Sociopath was experiencing when killing someone.
Are you referring to when Shane left the Strike Team bullpen to confront Antwoine?
I damn near peed my pants…
Could someone PLEASE tell me what happened in the last 20 minutes of the show? My cable went out right after Claudette and Dutch got the fake notification that the victim had woken up in the hospital, and then Claudette urged Dutch to go back in and break the guy. The show won’t repeat for a couple days and I am dying to know what happened after that.
Yes.
That was a great scene as well, Shane had me convinced that he was about to do something he could barely bring himself to do. Man, he is great actor.
Yeah, I figured this out during the show. I just had no idea where they were going with that preview when they first showed it.
It can only be a matter of time until Claudette starts to think something funny is going on with Dutch.
Did you catch the scene where Shane went in to kill Antwoine? He was ready to sacrifice himself because he knew they were going to find the girls body anyway. Vic grabbed him and talked him out of it before he could go through with it.
Antwoine admitted to Vic on his way out of the “barn” that he actually did know who killed the two cops, but wouldn’t tell. Vic told Shane that they were going to find out and “wipe that smile off his face”.
Dutch specifically desribed the choking scene to the suspect, drawing from his experience as a cat killer. He slipped during the scene when he mentioned the girl had come out of a coma. They had said surgery earlier, so the guy knew they were lying about the whole thing. He walked, but his sister now suspects he is a killer and is terrified.
I think I got it all, let me know if you need more details.
Wild speculation:
Dutch was talking about personal experience, not from the cat, but from where he has trod since then. Dutch killed the unnamed girl, framing the guy from Texas.
You heard it here first!
Sooner or later, one of my predictions will have to hit. I have a worse batting average than Jeane Dixon
bolding mine
That’s not the way I saw it, exactly. Yes, Shane was willing to sacrifice himself but he was working both himself into a rage, and more likely trying to work Antwoine into attacking him first (so Shane would have at least a shred of self-defense to fall back onto).
Antwoine realized this, and that’s why he sat back down and handcuffed himself to the table. I think at that point, Shane suddenly wasn’t going to go through it , but Vic came in and gave him an out. If Vic wasn’t there, I really think Shane would’ve have walked out. He looked so flummoxed when Antwoine sat down.
Could be, for sure. I saw his actions as the actions of someone who was about to commit an act that would destroy the rest of his life. He didn’t want to do it, and that is why he was hesitating. When Vic walked in, Shane had just put his hand on his gun, which made me think that he was about to go through with it.
Totally off topic from that, but I would love to know what happened to that box of kittens Dutch took home at the end of last season.
Definitely the way I saw it. He wanted to entice Antwan into hitting him so he could shoot him in retaliation. (Remember he uncuffed his right hand). Once Antwan figured that out, Shane was resolving himself to killing him anyway, even without self defense.
And I’m still holding out hope for my Armi prediction - Glenn Close still wants the IAB guy to dig into their past, so tehre’s still a chance that they sacrafice him as the dirty one.
