Another strong episode. Really liked the way the team used that jail break situation to carry out the impossible assassination, I must admit I had not twigged that was what was going on. Only thing I thought was that when they knocked the guy out they were going to RFID chip him and follow him, but I guess he would have noticed a subcutaneous implant.

The back on the base stuff really got my goat though. I am sorry but Molly Blaine was such a hypocrite. When confronted coming out with the stuff about her mother and "I am not telling you this for sympathy". Oh come on, that is exactly what you were doing - you feel bad about what you have done and were looking to justify it to yourself.

What is the betting that the guy who they gave the offensive driving course and sent off to Brazil is going to crop up in a later episode and have to be wasted by The Unit? He had Star Trek Red Shirt written all over him :D

At first I liked the stories about their families on the base. It reminded me of Soldier Soldier, but as the season went on it became more and more apparent that they were just there for filler. An hour long ep based solely on the teams missions would suit much better.

And I really really can't stand the Molly or Brown's wife's characters.

I just watched the first two episodes back to back, reading the episode one thread in between, as soon as he answered his phone in the hospital in the opening 5 minutes I had a chuckle to myself - I'd never noticed it was his catchphrase, but what a cool way to answer your phone... Would it be too "Gareth from the Office" to copy that at work? :nuts:

These first two episodes have been good, I can see maybe they are setting up the gun runner/assassin as maybe a bigger baddie who will feature in the later episode(s).

Molly is the most sefl rightrous, interfering, annoying chacter I've seen on tv - she was hard work in season 1 but she's getting worse!

I wish the creators of Ultimate Force would take some hints from this show...

Watching the intro I was having an Oz flashback.

And then, guess who turns up - only Tobais Beecher!!! :notworthy
Fingers crossed he comes back.

EDIT: And was the young army wife/gf the girl from Serenity?

Didn't the widow play Calamity Jane in Deadwood? Don't think I've seen any other woman on TV with a drawl like that :)

Good episodes so far!

Best thread I can find for this, but did Ep 6 air the other night?

Nope, no episode this week, back next week though. So far this has shown much improvement over Season one. :thumbs:
