FX running new promo for The Shield

by Jonathan Toomey, posted May 31st 2006 10:44AM

LemDuring last night's season premiere of Rescue Me, FX ran its first new preview for the second half of season five of The Shield. It's not supposed to return until January 2007 I think, but the promo still said "Coming Soon." They love to tease us. For those who missed it, here's how it played out.

After the obligatory "Viewer Discretion Advised," solid black screens flash with the following slugs:

  • Detective Curtis Lemansky
  • Born July 14, 1963
  • Died March 21, 2006
  • Cause of Death

Then it flashes through a quick montage of all the characters. It ends on Shane. Whew, still sends chills down my spine. It wraps with what I'm assuming is the tagline for the rest of the season: "No One Rests in Peace." Neither will I until 2007 rolls around. I can't wait.

Love The Shield, actually this fifth season was my first encounter of watching it Live. I picked my favorite character of the show and it was Lem. I was pissed off that Shane killed him. Anyway I heard rumors that the Sixth season will not be the last season. Chances are that it will finish the second half of the fifth season in late fall of 2006. Shawn Ryan made it clear that the seventh season will be the last. The Season will it's regular count of episodes of 13. The Sixth season will probably be about Vic and Ronnie trying to find out who killed Lem. Maybe Vic will find out that Shane was the killer in the season finale of the Sixth. I don't know about y'all but Shane's death will be a blood bath of grenades...

Hey Shield Fans..Just a little blog to let you know that the folks at FX and "The Shield" have donated a walk on role on the show to charity. The auction closes June 28th. Check it out at www.charitybuzz.com

Didn't they mess up the ad, tho? I thought Cav gave Lem fishing lures as a b-day present, which apparently happened in then-present-day (ad says "died March 11, 2006"). That would mean his birthday was not in July, as shown in this new ad. Or did I get that mixed up?

Anyone have a copy of the commercial? I've been taping Rescue Me and reruns of Nip/Tuck just to see try to see the teaser. No luck so far.

i personally found the kavanaugh character to be very annoying. i will be happy when he leaves the show.

I doubt Kavanaugh will return for a full season. His case ended with Lem's death. Not to mention, the new HBIC (CCH Pounder) doesn't seem to care for his presence in the precinct. However, a cop killed while under investigation could, conceivably, keep him on indefinitely. He was getting close.

Kavanaugh will be back. A new team member for the Strike Team will also occur.

I believe the show WAS/IS supposed to come back in the fall with the remaining 10 episodes from season five. At least that what I remember reading when the first half of the season ended.
