I didn’t watch the episode at 10 pm because — like a dummy — I wanted to watch the Mets game. I figured the game would be over by 11 pm, and I’d be able to watch Vic Mackey own faces without missing the Mets bullpen blow another game. Not only is the game not over, but I can’t watch it. And I can’t watch The Shield. Maybe the signal is back now, but the damage has been done. I’ve missed the first 10 minutes of the episode, and I’m pissed. I am now forced to torrent the episode. THIS IS YOUR FAULT DIRECTV. THE BLOOD OF F/X’S ADVERTISERS ARE ON YOUR HANDS. 

I want FIOS more than ever.
