The Unit - November 6, 2007

The weekly Tuesday night ritual in our house is to make sure dinner is done and the dishes are ready for their nightly wash in the dishwasher and that the family is on the couch in time to watch NCIS and The Unit on CBS. We turn up the surround sound and turn the lights down low.

One of my favorite characters is Hector Williams. I'm not sure why, I think he has a great smile and I love the fact he's a doctor and there to help at any time of need. I do like them all, I have a hard time picturing Jonas in anything other than AllState commercials, but I think I'm getting over it. Bob Brown is really good looking and the other two, Mack and Grey, they just seem to fit with the others and they just make a great team.

We've seen all the previews all last week that "they were going to enter as five and leave as four" so we knew something was going to happen, but oh my goodness, I did not expect what happened!

To set the scene, the team is in a Middle Eastern country and they are rescuing a newspaper reporter from the United States. They had to take refuge in an apartment building because their escape vehicle (an Apache helicopter) was blown away as it landed on the ground. During this change in plans, Grey ends up getting shot.

The rest of the episode deals around Williams saving Grey's life on the dining room table of one family's apartment. The entire episode was very intense, you just didn't know if Grey was going to make it or not. The team realized that they had to leave the building. Mack had put a signal on top of the building so their rescue squad would know where they were. The team takes a chance, goes down the stairs, shooting enemies as they go and then walk outside into the daylight, not knowing what they were going to encounter.
