Conscience is a Killer


The Shield returns for its fifth [5th!] season, this Tuesday at 10pm on FX. And I can't wait. The tag line for The Shield this season is "Conscience is a killer."

While The Shield isn't for everyone, it's definitely my cup of tea. It has characters that you care about [and not always in a good way], stories that have twists, and actors [and writers] that are at the top of their game.

Emmy award-winning actor, Forrest Whitaker joins the cast this season as a tough internal affiars agent out to bring down Mackey [Michael Chiklis].

You just know that the screen will sizzle when Chiklis and Whitaker collide. [Anyone remember the great acting in True Romance when Dennis Hopper verbally jousted with Christopher Walken? My guess is that Chiklis and Whitaker will take it to that level.]

The offficial Shield web site has been updated. Check it out and then tune in on Tuesday at 10. You won't be disappointed.
