Something like, "You asked me to trust you and I did, because I love you and I am asking you to trust me now," or, "I am in this just as dep as you are, I have already helped you, I am willing to run away with you right now, we have (whatever the baby's name is) what more do we need?" I think anything would have been better than close my eyes and cover my ears.I also think she should have used her leverage to get her kids back. Something to Ryan along the lines of, I don't think I will have to tell Bob as long as I have my kids back by tonight would work.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting they took the kids away.I think this plot has kind of made the whole continuity suffer. I am not sure if it was the massive critisism of how the plotline went. (Especially the wife undercover thing.) But I am thinking they actually had planned to push that particular (And plain silly) plot line a bit further, but perhaps somehow seeing how people didn't quite enjoy it, made them end it early.This kind of has made it tricky for them to patch it all up again, or well not THAT tricky. They could just be like "Okay, threat ended here's your kids kthnxbai!"I just HOPE they WONT end up with Kim adopting the baby she was babysitting since both her parents were terrorists or something.

My personal feelings is they should not have gone down the path of this odd plotline from the beginning, but then again its human to err.

Col. Ryan's personal credit card The Unit stole diamonds! I 'm not sure how it works. But I think The Unit members have their payroll accounts somehow as a cover 303rd Logistics. There was a showcase of Jonas transferring his paychecks to Molly on Paradise Lost or a few episodes before or after.

I can see how Alpha Team gets paid under cover as the 303rd Logistics. But, in the case of Red Cap, the army is looking for her to arrest her. They would certainly track the money trail first wherever that originates from. The diamonds would have to be converted into money and then that money put in an account that Red Cap could access. I know we viewers are not supposed to get hung up on these trivial details but it does make you wonder, if it were real life, how someone in Red Cap's situation would pay their expenses. She left the base without even a suitcase.

I probably listen to too much loud music to be good for my ears, but I thought Jonas said: "You know what inspiration is--the momentary cessation of stupidity."

my bad

Did anyone else wonder why, after they rescued Bo from that room, that they didn't search for the bodies of Bravo Team or at least mention why they couldn't bring them home for burial? You know, the military hates to leave fallen soldiers behind.

Yes, but the minute I thought of it, I realized Cool Breeze said he couldn't hold the pathway much longer. They had to get out of there fast.

I just read Pete Blaber's book, amazing. I don't think I've ever read a book like that, really cool story's about him and his guys, insightful life lessons, and woven throughout, humor. Anyone know which episodes he wrote this season?

Bob found two shells, that would be consistent with a firefight only if brass catchers were used, otherwise there would have been a lot more.

i just rewatched the episode and if you will... you will see that yes bob only showed two but jonas siad theres more over here too and tracks.... and then stated they must have been in the fight of their lives.... thus there must have been more brass than showed to usnot saying your wrong but as from my point of veiw its more likely that catchers wern't used on the first mission or it was a real hell fight at the helo that there was alot of brass left behind that asn't caught by the catchersas yes a stray shell will fall out or be missed what do you recon 1 in 20 1 in thirty ... mmmm.. ok lets use that two found by bob and then more seen by jonas (by more i will assume more than two so at the least three ... thats a total of 5 peices of brass and at 1 in 30 that means 150 rounds of m4 ammo expended thats 5 30 round banana clips and that emptied clips and we all know that if a clip empty its replaced at once.... just a thought i had to edit this as i forgot to mention if bravo team had as many members as alpha team then there was atleast 5 members with 30 round clips that would mean that every member shot every round they had and not reloaded... just a thought oh and they carry more ammo than just 1 clip

after watching the episode again... once again i say that when this continues we will find that jonas is f*&king with dr death and there is no real op... yes he will prob. land in a hot zone but just to scare the hell out of dr death... just my opinion and you know what they say about them

I hate that we have to wait two weeks to see the second part of this episode. But what do we know we are just the fans. But why not bring Beau of Bravo team to Jonas's team. No one can replace Hector but Beau will be nice eye candy for the ladies that watch The Unit. But we will have to wait and see.

Apparently you didn't read the Spoiler thread about the casting call for a new Unit member: The Unit - New Unit Member being sought 25, ANY ETHNICITY, A new Unit Member, Zach is the new generation, and younger than our guys.

I have been out of country, returned to a serious ice storm with no power and DVR was outHas part 2 of Misled and misguided aired, or are we now on three weeks with no new episodes?Anyone who could email answer to thomasd@maine.rr.co would be appreciated
