Two words - Absolutely fantastic. At first, I thought that the episode was going to drag on to be another SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance & Escape) mission after the first couple of minutes of covert and attention-drawing action, but it turned out to be quite compelling, with the serious wounding of Charles (Betty Blue), and their primary exfiltration route being severed by the helicopter being destroyed.
All of these mishaps all happening at once shows exactly how a well-oiled military machine only has to have one thing break down and then all Hell breaks loose because of that one failure, and the show demonstrates that even after such misgivings, well-trained and determined personnel can and will make the appropriate arrangements to either climb over, dig under or walk around the obstacles set down in the gauntlet they face.
The most gripping part of the episode is the last firefight, where the team all but runs out of ammunition, and faced with the certainty of being shot whilst caught in a narrow corridor, Mac (Dirt Diver) comes down from creating the ground-to-air signal and blasts the remaining enemy combatants with his trusty Heckler & Koch 416 rifle, saving the boys. then on exiting the building, the ever-familiar and grace of armed United States Marines is always a comforting sight to see, right up until Hector (Hammerhead) gets shot in the neck, and Jonas (Snake Doctor) attempts to provide immediate medical care, whilst Hector lay on the floor of the 5-ton truck, appearing unconscious. In the end, we see Jonas fold Hector's arms across his chest, as though he had lost the fight. I anxiously wait for next week's episode in anticipation for Hector to either begin a lengthy recovery, or the possible introduction of a new guy into the team. I'm counting down the seconds as we speak.moreless
