  • This episode had an awful plot. Felt like one of those "filler" episodes. This script should have never made it to the actual filming process.

    I thought this episode seemed like one of those ones that shouldn't have been made. One problem is that this isn't in my opinion a situation that the SWAT people would ordinarily respond to right away. The police would show up if it is a family residence and then they would call these SWAT people if they feel they are needed. Then they spend like two thirds of the episode looking for this kid when they know his brother is talking to him on the cell phone. There were too many similarities to other episodes. For example, they relied on the same gimmick they used in the Shopping Mall episode where the person they are looking for seems to know the territory better than their team does. The ending felt similar to another episode where they conveniently manage to get incriminating evidence unlike in real life where you have to build a case against someone.moreless

    Wow, another great episode! I seriously love this show! It was interesting to see Sam show some emotion. His character is interesting and it was nice to see a different side of him. I thought the storyline in this episode was really interesting! I also love the connections and relationships within in the team. Spike and Lewis were funny to watch and also it was cute to see a team relationship like theirs. The whole team works well together and this episode was another great example showing that. I like the ending and how it ended focusing on Sam. Another great episode!moreless

  • This episode was similar to last weeks but only in the respect of a troubled teen scenario.

    The team are called to a domestic situation gone wrong when a troubled son returns home to rescue his bother from his strict abusive father, things go horribly wrong when the son grabs a gun and shoots and wounds his father.

    Naturally the teenager who's trained at a military academy goes on the run and use's his training plus local knowledge of the surrounding woods to his advantage.

    Again it's up to the SRU team to go after him but only with the help of his younger brother.

    Another great episode and this series is starting to pick up. My advice, if you don't like it don't watch it.moreless

  • The moment came to show the emotional context of brothers in arms and in that moment the show found a new type of strength in tears.

    A young man was asked to help his brother deal with the pain of abuse and to get him to turn himself in. Yet this is his brother how can he do that without betraying him and the bond between them? That is as strong a bond as that exists in the field of battle so perhaps it is fitting that the man Sam honoured at the end laid down his life in the field of battle. So many have ridden down the highway of heros being saluted by friends, family and commrades in arms; each with a story to tell. Honour is their final ride and we salute them!moreless

  • good episode...

    A son comes home and wants his brother to run off with him, away from an abusive father. The older brother, RJ, shoots his father and flees while the SRU goes after him in a manhunt. I loved the characters in this episode. The story of the two brothers and abusive father was interesting, though it has been done before, I still enjoyed it. I thought that the attack on the SRU officer (with the homemade bomb) was underdone. They should have payed more attention to it. However, I did like how it developed the two characters more. I love how they furthered Sam's development in this episode. Overall, great characters all around - both stars and guests.moreless
