I never used to like Shane. But his character has developed well over the seasons. I always thought he was the weak link in the chain. He goes along with Vic rather than make his own mind up, and that's not a good thing. It shows weakness of character.
I was shocked when he killed Lem. I'm not sure what shocked me more. The fact that he killed one of his own, or the fact that he did something so big without checking with Vic first. Seems he needs "permission" all the time.

Trust you to pick up on that one bit. I mean that you're not as liberal as me and you'd like the Vic Mackey character. Thats's all
I've always liked Shane and was flabbergasted to find out they almost got rid of him. He's a lovable redneck. I particularly liked the fourth series where Shane tried to be Mackey and failed spectacularly. It showed how a character like Mackey needs to be much cleverer than people might imagine.
I think the fourth series is probably my favourite series. As well as Shane trying to be Mackey you also has Glenn Close as Monica Rawlings. An inspired piece of casting. I wasn't expecting much when I heard that Glenn Close was coming into the Shield but her acting and her character blew me away.
On a pervy note I liked Aceveda going to that kinky prostitute. there was something very dirty about all of that.
