Favourite episode?


My favourite episode was season 3 episode 2, pandemonium part 2, when they are on the run against the CIA. Best part was near the end when they finally figure out the guy who's in charge of everything. They got him all surrounded in the dinner party and the guy still thinks he's invulnerable, when Betty Blue shoots his wine glass that he's holding.

I've been watching it in reruns (obviously!) and, for some strange reason, I have a soft spot for S2E3 'The Kill Zone'.

Parts of S1's '200th Hour' were pretty cool also (the room clearing when they were trying to get funding).

Not to get OT, but did anyone have a problem with 'In Loco Parentis', when the team was tasked to clear a school of hostage-taking terrorists? Granted, I only briefly flipped through Mr. Haney's book, and my knowledge of the intricacies of international law is spotty at best (!), but did anyone else find themselves screaming at the tv 'Posse Commitatus Act!' (the section of US law that stipulates that the military cannot act in a law enforcement capacity unless directly authorized to do so; iirc it was emergency-invoked in the very first episode, but...)? Was the team expressly given the go-ahead in 'ILP'? Or would the fact that it was an elite school, children of diplomats and so forth, override that? I dunno, it just gave me a strange feeling...especially more so since I *did* like the episode...if that makes sense...

Anyway, back to favorite episodes...

Theres too many favorite episodes for me, but I really like Extreme Rendition. It just sucks that there was never a part two to that episode

My favorit is Dark of the Moon, season 2, episode 17, where the team is forced to take refuge in a forward supply base run by a young inexperienced female LT and a poor NCO. It's like Zulu with real weapons! Nearly a full hour packed with action, strategy, screwups, improvisation, and bravery, pretty much ending with "Come on you apes, you wanna live forever!"

I really didn't care for the CIA versus The Unit episodes, or the similar government-kills episodes, which seemed just ridiculous to me.

Dark of the moon is a great one.

5 Brothers and Play 16 however still make me sad whenever I watch them. Those were the 2 best to me.

The season one episode Sere was my fave by far. That was so crazy. I was so disturbed and I was loving every minute of it!!!! It was awesome cause it showed how good they work as a team, how Important each other was to the other, epic TV right there!!

reply

I liked "five brothers" Season 3 Episode 7, It was the first time the team killed non combatants on purpose and I think it was a departure from the squeaky clean American Hero image.

Dark of the Moon!!!!!!
Five Brothers
the one with the sniper who had 2 men pinned down
saving the vice president in the woods
gas attack on the compound
and the one with the mine field in south africa(don't know the Name)

The only thing worse than a film critic.....is the average loser that tries to act like one!!!

Many good ones here. Offhand I really like the story arc episodes leading to the end of Season 2, Beginning on S3 (CIA vs The Unit)

Dark of the Moon

Five Brothers/Play 16

I do not remember the names of the episodes but I liked the one that involved the heavy object falling on the guide and Mack had to kill her at the end. Also was a fan of the episode that Grey was caught behind enemy lines with that hot Israeli chick.

reply

I remember them....just watched the entire series
in one of the making of Features( i think the one which focuses on weapons) they said they made ''dark of the moon'' especially to please the action-enthusiastics....they succeeded

The only thing worse than a film critic.....is the average loser that tries to act like one!!!

reply

The episode where the guide got trapped after the explosion was the Johnny B Goode episode. Great one.

As a female, I liked the action episodes best too - only not when they involved the wives in the missions.



reply

they sucked because of bad writing

reply

let me add the Episode (season 3 ep 3) when the small aircraft is on cruise control and coolbreeze goes airborne to stop it
Whiplash was also great and when the one after they freed betsy and mack gets the opportunity to kill ''....''

Trolls dont have an opinion....just an urge to compensate their frustration about themselves!!!

Definite S4E1 where the president-elected convoy is attacked by terrorists dressed as US soldiers. The best story idea and action. But the following episodes sort of lose the inertia.
