(S07E04) "Cut off the head and the tentacles get frisky - it's a risk." - Vic

Things are starting to heat up in the Mexican/Armenian feud! While it still astonishes me that neither Pezuela nor Rezian seem to realize how they're being played so perfectly by Vic, I'm still in awe of the entire situation. Vic has got each them believing his lies so fully that it finally pushed Pezuela to go as far as burning two of Rezian's lieutenants alive. Not that Pezuela hasn't killed before, but c'mon - Vic is good. Realistically, that's two less people who know about the money train hit.

It's a huge mess and even though we're seeing glimmers of an end game, I think it's safe to say that it won't be that easy. Credit to Shawn Ryan and Co. for giving us The Shield that long-time fans are accustomed to. Four episodes into the final season and it's clear Ryan didn't reinvent the wheel, which is why I know that fooling Rezian and Pezuela can't be this easy for much longer.

This December, HBO will air a documentary about the genocide happening in the Darfur region of Sudan. It's called Sand and Sorrow, and it's narrated by George Clooney. The special aims to chronicle the history that led up to the current violence and point fingers of blame at the international community for ignoring the crisis.

The documentary follows around three prominent Americans as they travel through Sudan to investigate the mass killings and then to the United States as they attempt to get international attention for the situation. The Americans featured are activist John Prendergast, Harvard professor Samantha Power and NYT columnist Nicholas Kristof.
