Who would've thought Vic was actually a Skrull? Wow, that's one twist ending that I didn't expect.

A skrull? I thought he was turning into Darksied at the end. Man, I've got to watch the episode again.

I'm sure it will be just as funny when the new issue of Batman ships today and people STILL don't know who the Black Hand is.

Well, the commercial for the NOS STAR TREK movie was very pretty. The actual SHIELD main finale was way too safe, and the Dutch subplot was clumsy and abrupt. I guess it was better than I expected -- I'm not putting my DVDs of Seasons 1-5 up for sale, but I haven't ruled it out -- but this arc was a real letdown.

Is that the special "looks like shit" variant cover of the Shield comic?

There was a SHIELD comic? Was it any good and are the trades available on ebay? That is kind of a lousy cover photo but it's still heartbreaking to see the Strike Team together in happier times.

Seeing Ronnie's moustache makes me wonder why it took a disfiguring burn to get him to grow the full beard.

Wow, the cast of The Shield is actually Dexy's Midnight Runners!

Also: 2500! Woo!

I didn't realize there was a comic either - "The Shield: Spotlight" is the title in ComicBase, which says there is a TPB too.

I happened to see a Shield *video game* in the bargain bin at Best Buy. Anyone know if it's any good? Likely not, just on the general principle that licensed games almost invariably suck, but it looked like they got Chiklis' likeness down well, anyway.

The comic was garbage. It tried to "push the envelope" to be "just like the show," but it mostly ended up being one of those books where you feel like they're dropping the f-bomb just because they can.

The Shield game, I've never played. However, it got abysmal reviews. It was in development for a while, and then it suddenly got dropped by the publisher, only to be picked up by a no-name publisher and released without any fanfare about a year or so later. Never a good sign.
