It turns out that the Justice Department officer that accompanied Brown was played by former Ultimate Fighting Championship title holder Randy Couture, while Lila Lee (the unruly diva) was played by American Idol Season 4 Top Twelve finalist Mikalah Gordon. -G
Me neither (neither Hector Williams getting killed nor the LA Galaxy David Beckham poster on that boy's bedroom wall in Beirut). -G
Just wait until the rest of the Unit finds out. It seems that MLS' influence is subtly making its way onto mainstream American TV shows, such as Victoria Beckham's guest appearance on this week's upcoming episode of Ugly Betty. Unfortunate timing considering the writers' strike, though. -G
The fact that Williams suddenly became the focus of two episodes lead the thought to cross my mind that he might be the one to get axed, but when they got into the truck I thought to myself "maybe Col. Ryan gets hit by a car back in the states in the last 60 seconds."
Great episode. Lots of action, even from the ladies. I certainly did not expect the ending. I was up out of my chair shouting, "ohmygod!" It was the first episode in quite some time that had the whole team on the same mission.
Judging by the preview, it seems that Jonas will return to exact revenge for Williams' death (I guess he somehow finds out who the sniper was). It'll be interesting to see if any of the other Unit members will join him and, if so, which one(s). Also of interest is who will replace Williams in the Unit. -G
Definitely, and it's also sobering to know that each soldier carries his/her own body bag (I'd read that somewhere before, but had since forgotten about it until watching this episode). The preview for next week's episode didn't make it very clear what it's gonna be about, but it seems that it might have something to do with Colonel Ryan and Mack. -G
Interesting episode this week with the Unit infiltrating a gang in an army division that sells stolen weapons and explosives, and Colonel Ryan and Mack getting revenge on a group of college football players who sent Tiffy to the hospital. Unfortunately, Mack seems to now know (as of the end of the episode) that there's something going on between Ryan and Tiffy. Next week: Bob seems ethically distracted from a sniper mission, apparently causing problems in the process. -G
A good but somewhat intentionally (by the writers) disconcerting episode involving both Brown being haunted by the memories of those he's killed and a search by the wives into obtaining Molly's 1980 high school graduation picture that leads to the tragic revelation of her family hiding from her murderous (albeit imprisoned, for now) father. There doesn't appear to be a new episode next week. This seems to have been the last filmed episode before the writers' strike and thus may be the "season finale", though it didn't really seem like one. -G
I was sitting there thinking "why the hell is Tiffy volunteering all this information? It's not relevant to the question she wants to ask! What an idiot!" And shonuff....
Another interesting episode involving Jonas on an undercover mission in London alongside on old MI5 friend (who's wife is also Jonas' ex-fiancee) to intercept the sale of some uranium by a Russian scientist to a terrorist, with Colonal Ryan's ex-wife manipulating Jonas to turn on the MI5 friend who she suspected of being in league with the scientist. Also of note was radio show host Kim trying to help a suicidal army wife, and Grey reluctantly getting back with Annie despite feelings of guilt considering that she was dating the late Hector. Next week's episode will be a repeat and there's been no indication of whether or not this was the final pre-Writers' Strike episode. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. -G
