Last Resort S01E05

This kind of story-telling is what The Shield so freakin' good:  you put your characters between a rock and a hard place, and then you put them between another rock and a hard place.

The shenanigans on the island with our heroes Chaplin and Let's-Forgive-Him-for-'Underworld' squaring off against Cheney and Rice Curry and Black Republican Woman, intercut with I-Will-Overcome-Female-Lieutenant's dick-swinging with the COB (Chief of the Boat) whilst two-stepping with opposing subs and the Reluctant-Heroic-SEAL-Guy, made this ep a nail-biter.  Still don't care for the stuff Stateside but everything else is beginning to fucking sing, man.


... Yeah, I should know names by now but... I don't.

Damned good TV, this is.
