Question: On the final episode of
The Unit last season, the party got shot up and people were wounded, but on the first episode this season, it was business as usual and no mention of what happened at the party. What's up with that?
Answer: Seems to me
The Unit took the high road by not treating last season's ridiculous shoot-'em-up stunt (there was an epidemic of that last May) as a cliff-hanger. Time has clearly passed between seasons. The bad guys were killed, Dennis Haysbert had suffered a flesh wound (I was actually impressed they didn't leave him cheesily fighting for his life), and in the opener, you did see Robert Patrick hand his lady love what looked like painkillers, so she's obviously still feeling the effects of being shot. I much preferred this to
ER's season-opener bloodbath and abduction psychodrama. Let me use this discussion to make an early plea to producers
not to turn next May's season finales into another tiresome shooting gallery.
