It's nice having most of the "regulars" back on television, but as this abbreviated season starts to wind down I can't help but think I could be watching new episodes of The Shield for the next couple weeks if it wasn't for the darned writers' strike.
By now I would already know if Vic kept his job. I would know if Shane has been killed by the Armenians. Or if Dutch and Danny have started on a sibling for her kid.
