The Unit TV Show

Famous for playing the role of Brigadier General Thomas Ryan, in action drama ‘The Unit-Fired Up’, Robert Patrick has fired his business manager when he came to know that his manager owes thousands in unpaid taxes. I like the spirit of this conscientious American citizen who has taken a harsh but fruitful step towards betterment of society. He did this as soon as he came to know about the culpability of his worker. According to him, though it was a hard decision to fire seventeen years worker but more important is not to have relation with a person who commits crime against the state. Earlier I was impressed by his acting skills but now by his thoughts also.

Telling reasons for his instant hard reaction for firing his manager, he said “My reaction is frustration and I’m very angry. I’ve had an impeccable relationship with taxes. I’ve never had a problem. I’m a very proud American. I fly to Iraq and Afghanistan to see the troops. I’m very pro-military. I am in shock and angry about it.”

Yesterday I was watching the movie ‘We are Marshall’. He has done his best in it. Even though he had only a guest role in it’s starting but he was able to set the base of the movie. His glowing face and thundering voice with perfect delivery of dialogues was enough to fill the football players with energy and focused them only on one mission ‘winning’. His hitting dialogue is still fresh in my memory, “Remember, no one will remember how we played. Playing good is not enough. Winning is everything. Winning is what everyone remembers.” I am his great fan and particularly like his shinning blue eyes. There is so much power in his eyes I hardly found any like them.

I love ‘The Unit’ and his role in it. Above all, I love the music of the show with words ‘Here we go –Fired Up” sung in chorus. It is really about the army, a hero, a fighter, a protector who is true towards his duty and motives.

Hey folks! We all love the series named The Unit but I am sure that like me you all must also have wondered why the women on the show have been portrayed as weak, uninspiring and silly who are always victimized. I mean come on, they are supposed to be the wives of smart, strong and fearless covert operatives and it would look better if their wives were portrayed as confident, smart and capable. Although the wives individually have their own strengths and weaknesses yet overall they come across as failures as everything they do seems to backfire on their faces. I wonder why these ladies can’t do something that turns out to be really successful. I feel, apart from Molly, there is no female character on the show who has been able to impress the audience. Although Kim and Tiffy are other major female characters on the show, they are not really able to capture the heart of the audience. While Kim is always whining and complaining, Molly is unable to manage her own life and she is always a victim.

Personally I feel that the actresses are not to be blamed as they are really good at their task, but even they can’t change a dumb character into a smart one. So basically it is the writers who are at fault as they are the ones who have created such dull and spiritless characters to be the wives of heroic soldiers. As a result the audience doesn’t like to see the females on the show and are interested only in the men in action, taking down the bad guys. I personally feel the same and I think that if the female characters continue to be so lifeless, I would not like to see them even in alternate episodes. So writers do put some life and liveliness into the better halves of the soldiers who are risking their lives to keep the common man from being troubled by anti–social elements. And please WAKE UP before it is too late!

Jonas Blane heads the team on ‘The Unit’ and he’s one of the most active and intelligent members of the team.  Molly Blane is his wife and has a daughter with her. He’s known for his good accent of Spanish, French, German and Persian languages. His team members often call him Top and his accomplishments are, of course, goals which every team member tries to achieve. In all episodes of ‘The Unit’, we see him guiding the new comers and the experienced team members as well. Well, I think he does everything what we can expect from a main character of any TV show.

Dennis Haysbert has African American ancestry and the character he plays, Jonas Blane is also an African American. That’s pretty cool! More interestingly, Regina Taylor, portraying his wife, Molly Blane is also an African American. Isn’t it really cool…. because how many black families have you seen leading a TV show? Hardly, two or three, I dare say! So, it’s great to see two black persons leading such a wonderful and interesting TV show ‘The Unit’.

How intelligently and smartly they both are performing their respective roles! Jonas guides men on hair-raising missions and Molly solves the troubles of the wives of the team members living on the base. They both have a very good understanding and we see an ideal couple leading the way!

For me, Jonas is the man who made ‘The Unit’ so popular and interesting as well. Series has a fantastic plot and of course, writers are trying to add more and more entertaining stuff to the show! But, but, but…. The actual credit goes to the ones who portray the characters! Hats off to the whole crew of ‘The Unit TV show’.

Okay, do you have any speculation regarding the next season of show? Well, we don’t have as there’s no news by the network or the show representatives. Whatever…. Guesses are that series will surely have two or three seasons more. It means we’ll watch it till 2010. It’s just a guess; let’s see what they people have to say about season 5 of ‘The Unit’.

‘The Unit’ is currently running with season 4 and next episodes of series are scheduled to be aired in January 2009. Well, being a hardcore fan of the show, I am very crazy for the upcoming episodes of the show. After the latest episode ‘Switchblade’… expectations from next episodes are really on the peak.

Okay, have you ever thought what makes you attached to a particular drama? As I think, it’s the plot and characters of the show which make you fall in love with the show. Absolutely, this is the case with ‘The Unit’. Throughout its four season long run, I liked all episodes of the show and everyone was by all odds better than the previous one! What more can be expected? I think it’s the extreme of success that creators and viewers can think for a drama like ‘The Unit’.

In every episode, team goes on a mission and investigates the case to rescue the innocents and to punish the guilty. Moreover, their wives deal with the everyday family matters on the base. Leading the team is Sergeant Major Jonas Blane and leading the group of wives is his wife Molly Blane. ‘The Unit’ also gives a closer view of what every middle class family may come to deal with.

Other most important characters on series are: Bob Brown, the newest member of the team; Colonel Tom Ryan, Mack Gerhardt, Kim Brown, and Tiffy etc. Guest characters are introduced at times to make the plot interesting. Wholly, ‘The Unit’ has secured a strong fan base and hopefully, its popularity and success will go on increasing as series goes with new episodes. Nowadays, fans are waiting eagerly for the remaining episodes of the fourth season, yeah, me too! I’ll catch you later with my reviews on the upcoming episodes of ‘The Unit’. Stay connected!
