New episode tonight. Cavorting with the Israelis! I love this show!

i could have done without the whole valuable coin subplot...seriously they should just focus on the team...the wives stuff is just boring most of the time...a bunch of useless drama


besides i keep remembering her as the hooker from the Shield....she looked better with dark hair

she looks like skeletor

The focus on the team draws in male viewers while the focus on the wives draws in the female viewers. As per my fiancee last night, "I wouldn't watch this show if it was all action all the time. I like the dichotomy."

who cares, let her watch grey's fvcking anatomy!

This show would be so much better if all the guys were single and lived in a cabin. Bill Clinton could also live in the cabin, and he would be responsible for making sure there were new hookers in the cabin for every episode. Each episode should be about 30 minutes of killing terrorist and 13 minutes of mostly naked hookers dancing around. :)

Now that prison break is on hiatus, this has moved to my #1 show. I wish one of them had a hot wife though. Colonel's wife is as close as it gets, the accent is what does it

I think Bob's wife is "cute" in her own way.

I did...didn't like last night's. Splintering The Unit? Making Foley's character even more of a little bitch than before? I know it's supposed to be a cliffhanger but I don't want half the next season to be that dood looking for the black dood in Jamaica. :|

Yeah I missed the first couple minutes of it so when I started watching it I was like "WHAAAT?!". Pretty crazy. I hope the Unit doesn't break up. Now with Bob's assignment at the end... intense.

I just don't believe Bob will turn like that. I think they will get together and go after the ones who set them up. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was set-up by the CIA guy.

That's what I'm hoping. When he and Jonas were talking before about Bob getting a CIA job, Jonas did said that the CIA didn't have a spy in the Unit, it was the other way around. So maybe he'll take the assignment but still work with the Unit. And that bearded CIA guy is just one shady motherfscker.

I agree. It's ok if they pursue that for an episode or two. My hope is that after that mission fails, they'er exxonerated and The Unit is back.

I just caught up tonight and watched the finale. Something is up with Gray and they never revealed it, and if there is one thing I have learned watching The Unit its that nothing is as it seems. Definitely things going on behind the scenes besides it doesn't make sense that these BA commandos would just give up that easily. At one point I figured it may be a test, but then I was like nahhhhh.

All I can say is this show came out of nowhere and has been really impressive! Can't wait till Season 3!

just finished watching the season finale....that was probably one of the best episodes everrrrrrrrrrrr!

here's my take on the whole thing: CIA wanted to break up The Unit and Bob was probably their best man to approach (compared to the others since Brown isn't exactly as mobile with a baby). and like most of the episodes, The Unit always have some sort of plan. so i'm thinking that there had to be at least two guys (Mac & Hector) in "jail" ...which should be a piece of cake for them as compared to the SERE episode. Jonas flees so he'll be able to figure stuff out on the "outside", plus maybe set-up another HQ for them. Bob gets in with the CIA, but truly is a "Unit Man" so he'll be the "inside man" on what's happening. Gray is "missing" but i'm guessing the plan is he'll be the go-between between Jonas, Bob & Ron.

i doubt Bob is really going to try to locate Jonas for the CIA. somehow he'll probably collect on that favor he's owed from that NSA exec when he saved his daughter.

i'm not sure what will happen with Col Ryan. the finale made it seem like he was going to commit suicide for losing his job & his wife, although at this point, he's the most expendable member and him pulling the trigger could go either way.
