The Unit -- "Best Laid Plans" -- 3/29/09

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Jonas and Mack work undercover to locate the terrorists responsible for killing the U.S. vice president. But the mission doesn't go as planned, forcing Bob to run interference for them.



DVR alert: Due to College Basketball starting at 5:05pm ET. This and other CBS programs are pretty much a lock to start late tonight for the East Coast audience. Pad this recording at least 30 mins to 1 hour.

Pad this recording at least 15 mins due to college hoops running slightly over.

Really liked this episode a lot. I didn't care for the new guy being portrayed as a stalker but the end with the red dots was great.

I thought it was pretty lame that Grey was nowhere to be seen. Between getting shot in the shoulder and his pursuit of Joss, he's barely seen any action.

Other than that I thought it was very good. I especially enjoyed Bob's deception.

I'm confused about the character played by Ronnie (from the Shield). I'm almost positive he was on the show before, but was playing a federal agent. Is my memory playing tricks on me?

Speaking of Bob...I must have missed something in the previous episode. Did Bob survive the chopper explosion? Or was that a different chopper/pilot at the end, transporting the father away, leaving the son behind with the Unit guys.

Bob wasn't in the chopper. It was the father. He knew he was going to die either way, so he took the chopper up to draw their fire to let the team and his son get away.

I think Ronnie was posing as an agent previously

all those dots don't necessarily mean people tied to the conspiracy, he could have simply sold the extra blanks that he didn't need

You must have missed the previews for next week.
Spoiler:
Whiplash attacks Bridget and tries to rape her. The rest of the team goes after him with orders to terminate.


Looks like the upcoming episode is the reason he was brought into the show.

OK that makes sense...except I thought he was pretty bad off, what with being freshly surgery'd and all. But I musn't analyze it too much.

Bob was 'arrested and questioned' by Agent Ronnie when he flew the plane for the guy his wife was babysitting. Bob didn't give anything up, and it turned out that Agent Ronnie was just a ruse to make sure Bob wouldn't break under questioning.
