More like a Brick-Boy body.

Or, a guy, with a contract guaranteed to pay "the kind of money" he's
getting, might just say pass the frigging donuts!

Just a thought. ;o)

That may be the best show ever made for TV. Been watching it from day one.
No way Vic gets out of this one! Last season of the show for sure.

Maybe being fat is part of the job description?

It is an excellent show. FX has produced some really good shows over the
last few years.

I think an appropriate ending would be similar to what happened to Charles
Bronson at the end of "Death Wish". Vic gets found out, and the
powers-that-be have to let him resign without any charges, because he has
too much dirt on higher-ups. He moves to some other large city, and in the
final scene of the series, he gets hassled by some punk gang members. As
they walk away, he does the Bronson thing, raises his hand, points his
finger like a gun, and says, with a big smile, "bang".

It'll be interesting to see what happens when Mackey finds out Shane killed
Lem. It might be as Shane is dying in his arms, having sacrificed his life
for the team. That would provide for some classic closure. More likely,
Shane will be banging some underage whore and striking a deal with another
Antoine as the rest of the team goes down.

I am thinking he never does. Not sure why, just a feeling I get.

You might not want to say that to Michael Chiklis' face, or the face of the
many VERY strong police officers who look like that, or any of the
powerlifters who look like that. They might take it personally. They might
hurt you.

Well, I think Chiklis is great. But he got in shape for the beginning of the
series and then let himself go. Now he's back in Commish country. They can
only wrap that man girdle so tight. As far as cops working out, the ones
that do are more likely into being pretty boys, not powerlifters.

Hulk, Thing, what's the difference? Wait! One's green and hyooog and
the other's rocky, orange and just slightly less hyooog. Regardless,
it's a hulkING character, right? D

Seriously, imo, Chiklis's voice works for Ben Grimm (the Thing's alter
ego) and, hey, he's a beefy (or fat, you decide) guy. The Thing's no
pretty boy and so why would they need Brad Pitt for the role? Also,
he's bald and so there was no need to deal with hair during the CGI
transformation? I honestly don't recall how they dealt with that in
the first Fantastic Four movie <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120667/>.
Looking forward to the sequel <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486576/>.
