The Unit

mick.fr

I have noticed there is no forum/section for "the unit".
I love this serie, reminds me the military life and the couple of years spent in camps all over the places.

That is for me a very nice show, even if sometimes there are some inconsistencies.

Krieg

Yeah I watch it too, Brilliant show
Im not sure it deserves its own forum though. I dont personally know anyone else who likes it, therefore Im guessing its not hugely popular with Irish audience (Yet )

Umm there also isn't one for 30 Rock, American Dad, Bionic Woman, Bones, Boston Legal, Burn Notice, Californication, Chuck, Criminal Minds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Desperate Housewives, Dexter, Entourage, Eureka, House, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Kill Point, Mad Men, Medium, Monk, My Name is Earl, Nip/Tuck, Numb3rs, The Office, Prison Break, Pushing Daisies, Psych, Reaper, Robot Chicken, Scrubs, Smallville, South Park, Ugly Betty, Weeds, or the Wire. And they're only the shows that I watch that are currently airing (damn, I watch too much!), never mind the older ones I'm looking at.

It has no need for its own forum...

Umm they've been in the same base camp for the show so far.

I like it and sometimes the missions can be very exciting and tense - there was a great school seige episode last year. Other times there can be tripe - think the witch doctor one (eugh). It's a little bit too patriotic at times and some of the wives can be a bit irritating but overall it works.
Don't like the new S3 theme tune though!

Krieg

Just saw episode 7 (season 3)
One of the best episodes and damn what an ending

Hyzepher

Yeah I miss the old theme tune - much more in line with the show.

I love this show, by far my favourite on TV. Where did you get to see Series 3? I got the first and second series on box set (sad I know!).

Yeah im enjoyin watchin the series as well, as you couldnt avoid the publicity Virgin1 were givin their shows before the channel came on air as the first season is nearly finished.

I also seen that Xtravision are hiring out the Seasons 1-2 as well

IXOY thats a lot of shows you're watchin, but out of the whole lot of them only Prison Break got a forum out of it!

Vikings

Never seen it before last week when I rented Season 1, was a bit disappointed that it was only 13 episodes long as I thought it was great.

So now i'm over halfway through season 2. Will wait for season 3 on dvd before I get stuck into that.

Really enjoy this show. It's something you can just get straight into even if you miss a few episodes though at the same time there are connections between the episodes. It's not a running story like 24 would be or anything like that.

Hyzepher

Lastest Series 3 episode (8) is one of the best so far. It really shows why this show is one of the best on tv - it's not just a soldier show but encapsulates a soldiers life and what's expected of them.

Brilliant

yayamark

great. never even thought to look for the unit on boards. didnt think anyone watched it

I love it watch it religously tell herself after every show "i wanna be in the unit"

JUst watched s03e10.

Went to look for s03e11 and its not there :eek::eek:some ****e about a strike?

Can we have a forum about this please can i be in charge please please:D

Just found this thread and im just starting series 3 and i miss the old theme tune.

I just finished watching the first two series and really enjoyed it, but cant seem to find what channels show the third series:(. When is the third series out on DVD?

vengeance52

dont think the 3rd series is finished in the US so may be a while before its out.

ejmaztec

I find it interesting enough, but occasionally the propaganda becomes more obvious. I remember in one episode, the number one villain was a French special forces guy who tried to stitch them up. I just couldn't help thinking of George W's "Freedom Fries" after the French refused to back the US in Iraq.

They have only showed up to episode 3-11 at the moment because of the writers strike.

Good show some episodes are a small bit lame but i enjoy it overall.

The internet is the place for watching series 3.

Can you post/PM a link? I tried a couple of sites but it wasn't listed. As you can tell, I don't watch many shows on the web!

Yeah, I'm having trouble trying to find it as well.

Mr E

I think he means downloading the show, kids.
There is nowhere that streams it.

Discussing the wheres and hows of downloading is not allowed.

Actually the third series has finished (albeit prematurely) as all 11 episodes produced have been shown.

Damn it...
Hopefully the dvd box sets will sell well which may persuade them to continue with the show.

i love this show watch all of the episodes so far. Nice mix of action and some drama.

pd101

I was flicking through the channels there tonight and I just caught part of an ad for the Unit. I think it was on Virgin. Is the new series starting sometime soon?

Mr E

Judging from the ads, it'll be Season 3. Season 4 doesn't start in America until the Fall Autumn.

Sorry thats what I meant . I still have only seen the first two. Any ideas when it starts?

Mr E

Nope, no idea. I had a look on Virgin One's website, and it says "Wednesdays". Had a scan forward on Sky and there is no sign of it in the next week.

ok were back :cool:

Season 4 has kicked off with a bang :eek:

Really good opening episode that'll set the season up nicely.

Anybody else see it?

Mr E

Yeah I thought it was great .... that final stand in the cabin was excellent.

Nice to see a bit of a story arc kicking off too.

vengeance52

thought it was a very goo ep..

I loved the final stand, and i like the way the new chick hung the rangers body from the door as a decoy. very sneaky.

Pol Pot

Pol Pot just watched episode 1 of season 4.
still brilliant

yayamark

Hust watched Episode 2 of the New Series

"Sudden Flight"

Have to say very impressed with the way this season is going, its all action.

Another gripping ending

DingDong

Last season I thought was crap and not much really happened as far as I remember. The new season is great, but I wish they would bring back the old theme tune too I thought I was the only one who missed it.

Boston

Hmm, so I really don't like what they did with the wifes in season 4. I've watched all of the unit over the last week and a half. Its fairly entertaining but only when there's shooting and the like. I find myself really looking forward to the next episode.

Ps, I adore the new theme tune.

J-blk

I hate the new theme but I'm used to it by now (it changed with Season 3)...

Definitely enjoying this season though I don't really like the wives' plot line that much - it's constantly repeated how much danger they're all in but I just don't really get the urgency that much and why they had to go into hiding, etc. I mean, I get the reasons as stated, but nothing seems "real" so... But I still enjoy the show overall and I'm happy it's still on the air.

Xavi6

Love the show, love the theme tune. Long may both continue.

Boston

wow, season four is really crap.

Krieg

Yeah I didnt think it was good at all.
Although one of the last episodes there with the casino break in I thought was very good. Still 2 more episodes left

yayamark

I like this series. Can be better in some places

Only one ep left though

"The last Nazi"

Dlite

I can't stand wipflash, I want him removed.

Series 4 was dire compared to 1,2,3.

It's 'Whiplash' and given the series was cancelled, they're all effectively removed - including Molly \o/

vengeance52

I think the show would have been better with no wives. thank god no more molly, but i will miss snake doc and the boys.

Krieg

hope it gets another season

Eh it's been cancelled. No more seasons and goodbye Molly keep on walking. And never again will we have to listen to Kim and her radio show. See there's some good to be had.

yayamark

Its a pity the show has been cancelled

Ive really enjoyed the majority of it

Would agree on the wives bit.

Some bits were unbelieveably unrealistic but very entertaining.

Ah well another show i like gone now

I actually dont have any favourite show now:(

vengeance52

was watching a re-run of A-Team this evening, the Jonas was one of the orderlys in Murdocks Psych hospital.

mick.fr

Yeah very upset too. What a shame and a lame ending.

The wifes, for those who don't know, are part of the military life and camps in a very special way.

There are all sort of things happening between them, and sometimes, they mix husbands/partners I went out with one while the husband was fighting in Yougo...Well she went out with the whole unit actually lol, in a 6 months period...And she burned all the money her husband made while abroad. He came back broke...So guys there is plenty of stories like that.

So any story about a military unit would probably include the wifes and personal life stories. Because it is part of your day to day life in the army. You do stuff with other couples. And wifes are hanging together more or less and have close ties usually because it is a closed life where husbands do the the same thing. They are soldiers.
It is very different that having neighbors with no relation between each other.

Just my personal experience guys...Which reflects what is shown in this TV show. Very realistic show, I am telling you.
