I've spent most of this season asking "Is this the end?" Well, after last night, I know there is more to come and find myself begging for the next season to start.
Whitaker was amazing on this season, and at the same time, his character made me hate him (now that's great acting). He always seemed to be the lovable actor until I saw him on The Shield.
I think next year is going to be very interesting. I've always felt that Lem was Vic's moral compass. I can say I will miss Lem.
There's 11 more episodes airing in January. After that? Who knows. FX has not committed to another year yet.
This is hands down the best show on TV and deserves a big budget increase. The writing is consistantly superior to anything else, and I would love to see a full blown season of more than 11 or 15 episodes.
Glad to see that other people appreciate this show. It seems (with this board anyway) that if a show (or book, movie, whatever) takes place anywhere other than NYC, it gets snubbed with that arrogant NY attitude. I suppose I have to put an exception in for Bareback Mountain, of course. Those New Yorkers sure love their gay cowboys (I hear the Village People are planning a comeback tour which should make a few members here very excited!)
