Haysbert's Pedro Cerrano look is about ready to disappear. His hair was already growing back in the last episode and I assume the goatee is a goner this week. In recent interviews, he's back to his normal look.

Great episode so far, especially the wives segment, which is just Snake Doctor.
"This is MY hooch!"
Also, a lot of Mamet-isms this episode. "It's buddy call, we're going swimming."

Pretty good I thought. Even if the father/daughter thing was a little hokey, it was nice to have just that and no wives thing. The dudes being rescued were incredibly annoying though. I'm glad the one "manned up," but would the older guy really have so carelessly tossed those chutes to his son in a "think fast" manner while they're all trapped in a minefield with rebels closing in?

This show is infinitely better w/o the wives, or at least when they are kept to a minimum.

I thought that except for the father/daughter/mother bits, this episode was pretty much by the numbers. This rescue would have been good in season 1, but felt like filler now and didn't expand any of the ongoing stories.

From: Bartertown due to it having a better economy than where I really live.
after they killed the first go round of baddies why not give the one guy one of the rifles?
rifles are generally easier to shoot for a newbie, plus they'd have more ammo between reloads and be more accurate at range

This info was posted in the full season pickup thread, but just in case you didn't know.
It's good news and a sign that The Unit is at its peak right now.

Good to know. The Unit is one of my favorite shows on right now. Glad to hear it'll be around at least a bit longer.
