Wow. This episode had a very big event at the end. Good episode, although in some ways it seemed a bit by-the-numbers. Plus, there was a revelation about “Sam,” with its own fallout. There really is only one story this week, with some interrelated subparts. Jonas, Mack and Bob are chasing Russian terrorists in Los [...]
Another week with no Charles, and Mack stays home. Our 3 story lines are (1) Jonas and Bob undertake a 2-man mission in Hong Kong, (2) Molly and Susan Gillum get kidnapped by the Leon Drake gang, and (3) Mack and Tiffy discover that their older daughter is dating an older man.
This episode seems to have left a lot of people scratching their heads, but I liked it. There were really just 2 stories, apart from the cold open, instead of the usual 3: Sam (Whiplash) attempts to rape Bridget (Red Cap), and flees; and Mack and Tiffy inherit a home in Western Springs, Wyoming, where [...]
There is a saying that “No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.” In this week’s episode of the Unit, no plan — for battle or for a wedding — survives contact with your allies. As usual, there are 3 story lines: (1) Jonas, Bob, and Mack go after Leon Drake, the man behind the [...]
Who do you know, and who can you trust. These issue intersect in three stories this episode. In the primary action story, the team, minus Grey and Red Cap (marking the second episode in a row in which she does not appear), attempts to extricate the leader of a revolution is an unidentified country that [...]
Wow. After watching this episode, I’m stocking up on duct tape and bottled water. The team and their families find themselves in the middle of a poisonous gas attack. Chlorine is being released to the air through the water supply. Everyone in their town has to get indorrs, seal off vents, windows, and doors, and [...]
This was a very straightforward, enjoyable episode, made up of three parts: (1) introduce and test the new team member, (2) Betsy’s television interview about her abduction and rescue, and (3) a mission to find and kill the man who killed Hector, which also gives us the first chance to see the new member in [...]
This was a somewhat uneven episode, possibly because it too much going on. There was (1) the main story about looking for the last Nazi, (2) the story about Molly in the fake airplane company office, being confronted by Carson (the “uncle” of Grey’s serious but very short-term girlfriend Joss, aka Switchblade), (3) the story of [...]
After a layoff of more thna a month, there will finally be a new episode of The Unit on Sunday night. I write up my entry as soon as I can, but sometimes it takes me a few days.
You are just going to have to accept the mysticism inherent to this week’s episode, or it will drive you nuts. Things happen that cannot be explained rationally through pure materialism. Deal with it, or move on. Also, if this was, by chance, the first episode of the Unit you’ve ever watched, please know that [...]
