What I'm Watching: The Shield

The Shield: Season 7, Episode 3 "Money Shot" (B+)

Michael Chiklis is a terrific actor. This episode is a particularly strong showcase for him, with his surprising frankness with Rezian and accidentally grabbing his daughter too hard. His relationship with Corinne and especially Cassidy is rapidly deteriorating, and it doesn't help that things are not going well at the Barn. Dutch's case is a strong point of the episode, and his relationship with Danny is always interesting to watch. I really want to see more from the lesser seen members of the strike team - Ronnie and Julien - who seem to be shouldering more than their share of the weight recently. Ronnie always does seem to get attacked when someone else should, first by Armadillo and now by that damn dog.
