I like that they circle back to past episodes to tie everything together. I wonder though, do they try to find out who the other body in the casket was?

Poor Rick Yune with his 3 mins of screen time.

Season pass is set for H50 but was pleasantly surprised to get a new episode of the Unit.

Was that stock footage of Norman Reedus? I don't remember him being on before.

According to IMDb, Norman Reedus was indeed in the pilot episode of the series.

ok, this was actually a pretty good episode. I enjoyed it after the past few duds.

Glad I'm not the only one who went "Wait is that Reedus?"

Who'da thunk he was in the pilot for this before Walking Dead. Dixon and Spike in the same episode. This show hit the geek cred right out of the starting blocks and they didn't even know it at the time.

Now, was the guy playing McGarret's friend the same actor who played Aquaman in Smallvile?

Indeed it was. Damn good catch. That was bugging me all episode, I knew he looked familiar.

Yawner of an episode.

I actually recognized his fellow Seal from Blue Mountain State.

Enjoyed this episode ok, though it's a bit jolting having Catherine go from being nervous and cute about being in a roller derby to being tough as nails on the battlefield.

Sometimes I think they just want to film as many episodes without McGarrett and Danny together as they can...

Rambo and Catherine taking on North Korean Guerillas by themselves.

And how the hell did they get Aquaman's body back from that makeshift grave?

at Rick Yune's 3 minute cameo. Funny he's playing a North Korean soldier here and he played a North Korean terrorist in Olympus has Fallen.

I thought this episode was just comedy at how absurd it is.

at the blatant use of green screen on Joe's scene in Montana.

I don't know, I just didn't buy the relationship between Steve and Aquaman.

The only cool part of this episode was how they used the flashbacks as a lead-in to the Pilot episode. Surprised at how many here didn't remember Reedus from the Pilot episode.

yeah the green screen was bad. Worse though was Steve not inspecting the coffin before leaving the Korean DMZ. Called that as soon as the transfer happened.

And don't forget, he was also North Korean Diamond guy in "Die Another Day"

All the promotion at the time was talking about James Masters. Brotherhood Saints still isn't that big a film to make people aware of Reedus being in it.

I had to laugh at Catherine saying she did 3 tours
she would have almost definitely done them from a desk, and even if she did leave the base it wouldn't have been for combat missions

just watched this and whilst it was a well done episode, the casting was off. Real waste of a few cameos (Yune and the kid bro from walking dead) and Mcgarrett's friend, i can't see past the clown from Blue Mountain state.
