The Shield had the best final season of any of the recent great television shows and the end result was perfect. Breaking Bad is giving them a run though. I think you can make a comparison of Mackey and Walt though. How they claim they did it all for their families in a megalomaniac way is one way. The dynamic between Vic and Shane, and Walt and Jesse is kind of similar too

I’m glad he used the word « purgatory » because it’s the exact impression I got when I saw the ending, with this ICE office in which he had to work mandatorily for several years : white, cold, silent, no interactions especially with him, only repetitive paperwork, and all these rules even for changing the temperature… even for the viewers it looks weird, but for Vic, compared to his previous life, it’s clearly pure suffering, hearing police’s sirens outside as a reminder, only having some pictures of people who are now gone…

​@@Bootmahoy88actually he still has the right to have his gun in the office as long as it's locked in a safe (Olivia told him), he takes it out only when leaving. But indeed, we don't know what he's going to do that very night and it's up to interpretation (he could come back the next day to work but look for his family during the night, he could plunge back into crime, or he could try to run away like Ronnie wanted to do)

What I found curious about the ending was with the loss of all his friends, family, job, etc...I seem to get the most "loss" from him as he watched those two cop cars go flying by out the window. Almost like he was telling us that as much as he loved his family and friends, the street was truly where his heart was and that was what he would miss more than anything. Would love to know what was going on in his head when he put the gun in in pants, put on the "Vic" face and walked out.

Lokesh Thakur If he gets fired OR quits before his three year contract is up, then he gets prosecuted for everything he confessed to. If he completes his three years in hell, however, he's free to quit and move on. Granted, who else would hire him? In other words, make decent pay at a place no one likes you or make shitty pay at a place no one knows you. This ending was beyond brilliant because it was about a group of friends that got torn apart by greed and their sins finally caught up with them. Shane's dead. Lem's dead. Ronnie's in jail. Vic has no one.

Problem with Vic is he just never knew when to stop. Just kept getting himself into deeper and deeper shit and all the time I was just screaming at my screen STOP STOP STOP. It made me nauseous just seeing him get himself into deeper shit when he could have just gotten out of the mess AGES ago. There is a way out take that way out now and STOP but he would not and at the end of it all he ended up in a situation 1 million times worse. By the 7th season i'd lost all sympathy for him and in the end he kinda got what he deserved. The way the show did ronnie though was so dirty. They could have at least gotten the feds to cut a deal for Ronnie too. By far the most likable of the strike team bunch.

You know, I always said "He needs to end up either dead or in jail" and I say the same thing about Breaking Bad's Walter White (I see MANY similarities between these shows, even if others do not) but I really liked what Michael Chiklis said about those being the two expected outcomes. So in that regard, they were original. But sometimes, cliche's exist for a reason, because they work. I still believe he should have ended up in REAL jail, life sentence. I hope Breaking Bad does their ending right

I could see him years later being a PI in a different town, quitting as soon as he could after his deal was done. Or showing him blackmail people in the justice dept or INS, dealing with his addiction to trying to be on the streets. Maybe it could deal with Ronnie's surviving in prison and his intentions once he gets out. I think the shield ended really well and I think it's great that we as fans can imagine where he might be nearly 10 years later.
