Their use of music (and scores) is so intelligent it's unbelievable...Shawn Ryan and co must have spent ages finding each song to convey certain meanings in particular scenes...that's why the Shield will always be number 1 in my opinion. I don't rate the Wire too highly, and only HBO's Oz comes close.
Bittersweet times on The Shield. FX lineup will never be the same again. Sure they had TERRIERS last year. As of now Justified is the only drama they have.
@tcmaddox They were morally bankrupt for the strike team the means always justified the means. It all started with take a little money here and there. Plant some evidence on the bad guy. Then once they crossed the line and there was no turning back of killing a fellow cop in cold blood.

Thanks Darkhaven, this song and scene stuck in my mind for months. The first time I saw this I thought "What a perfect ending for a perfect show". The "Detective Wyms " crime scene still gives me goose bumps.
Great post, this was the best tv show ever, followed in the 2nd place by third watch in my opinion, you might disagree but that was a terrific tv show as well...
Great scene. It's strange to see Vic with his happy family, since we now know how that turns out! The series finale of "The Shield" is next week, and I will really miss it.
for a show with such a broey nu-metal vibe this song dickslapped me outta nowhere

Agreed. They did the same thing with a Coldplay deep album cut a few seasons later as well.

Why did they have to rob that damn money train? Things only got worse and worse from there.

The songs fits perfectly the mood of this episode ending: life with its ups and downs, according the character.
The most touching moment is when Detective Wyms arrives on the double homicide crime scene with Officer Soffer taking notes...

I like when Mackey has dinner with his family, that shows perfectly well the other side of him, a family guy...

Yeah, this clip has always stuck out to me as one of the few times that The Shield used music. Great clip.

For a show that rarely used music, several (including this) scenes really stand out in my memory.
