This episode was one of the worst episodes I have ever seen of any television show (that includes The Maury Povich Show). After watching the pilot episode of The Unit, I was quite excited about watching its follow up, and boy was I nauseous.
These women in the show are dull, stereotyped, and devoid of adding life to the monotone script they are attempting to recite. And as for the plot of the so called "action" storyline, 30 minutes pointing guns at a jeep is as amazing as it gets.
And as for President Palmer, don't smile when the prisoner you have allegedley tried so hard to capture jumps out of the aeroplane, get out there and go after him, this is a question of national security, not the continued operation of your beating heart.
I give this episode a 1 (After all, that's what a unit is).moreless
The team, minus Bob, are in search of a fallen Chinese satellite. This quickly turns into an opportunity to capture one of the world's most wanted terrorists. Meanwhile, Bob is questioned about the Unit's role in the rescue of the hijacked plane. Molly decides to visit the Unit's psychiatrist about the shooting at her home. Kim is frustrating about moving and then comforts a woman who has just learned her husband has died in combat.moreless

TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: When Grey finds the downed satellite it's laying on a shrub field in the middle of a desert area. When objects make reentry from space, take for example a space shuttle, it's temperature is about 1200°F (649°C), so the moment the satellite hits the ground it's almost a fireball, yet none of the surrounding shrub caught fire. Second when an object makes reentry from space, the force it hits the ground with (considering it hasn't burned during reentry) is impressive, enough to leave a crater, and cause a blast when hitting the ground, yet again here the satellite laid peacefully on it's side, and was unharmed by the impact.

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES-
The song playing at the end of the episode was Disappearing World by David Gray.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
The whole idea of The Unit going in to secure a downed satellite, is so like a flashback to Demi Moore's "G.I. Jane", when she and her fellow SEALs help another Spec Forces unit escape some bad guys trailing after them.
-
Going down to the end of the town, and back in time for tea
This is in reference to a line from a poem by A.A. Milne, entitled "Disobedience" in the collection When We Were Very Young.
