I've been watching the previews and I agree it looks very, very good. FX is the shit imo, best network on tv. What bothers me though is they show so much on the previews that I feel like I already know what's going to happen. Granted there's always more and nothing takes the place of actually seeing it unfold but when you read a book if you know the ending doesn't it take the fun out of it?

I saw the previews for the shield 2 weeks ago it showed Vic turning the tables on Cavanaugh and surprising them in the middle of a bust. That's exactly what happened during the next show and I knew it was coming. That was the episode in a nutshell... For me that kinda ruined it and I really wish they hadn't given so much away.

So here's my predictions on what happens in Thief: Andre Braugher and his crew get together to rob some people even though they are warned ahead of time it's dangerious. They pull off the job and the people they stole the money from come after them. Andre Braugher's girl gets killed by the people they stole the money from, or at least hurt real bad.

If I saw the previews again right now I could probably make 10 more assumptions about the show as well. I can understand hyping up a show but you show exciting instances within the show that are completely out of context that don't give away THE actual context very much. I think some of the "theme" should be portrayed but not so much so that the characters are stereotyped before the show even begins.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll go like the shield. We all knew Vic was a hardcore cop from the previews before the show started, and that's why I wanted to watch it so much. What I didn't know was that Vic was going to kill a fellow officer on his team to protect his ass. Without that 1 heinous act the shield would be 1/10th as rich. With that 1 heinous act we are all torn inside as to whether we want Vic to go down or not if we look deep, deep within ourselves. Granted, at any moment I would say hell yeah I want Vic to come out on the good side in every way if I was asked. I can't help but like Vic and hate anyone that gets in his way. I think that's just an American quality lol.
