Never has a pilot episode of any series gripped me as much as this one. I became an instant fan from day one until the very end. The best thing about this show too is how the act of killing Terry in this episode was so integral and played a part all the way until the very end.
A handgun round is not that powerful in the scheme of things. It does not blow big holes in people. The entry wounds generally look small, about the size of the round. The exit wound is generally the big one.
I LOVED this show but I'm pretty sure that gun shot from that close range would have done more than leave a little bullet hole under his eye. The fact that he laid there quietly with no expression and just closed his eyes and died is a bit ridiculous too. I never got that. I know it may have been a symbolic thing but it didn't work for me....but I loved every minute after!
This was the greatest show in the history of television for one simple reason. They never took a single episode lightly or decided to get cute. This show ripped your heart out every week, showed it to you, and kept you coming back for more. Bravo

Talk about your Dirty Cops.
Take the suspects weapon, secure it, and then used your gloved hand, to use the suspects weapon to execute your new team member.

@Connect200 The Wire is Dickens. The Shield is Shakespeare. Both awesome. Both epic. Very different. Love 'em both.
