I still like the show, but it’s really showing its age. As someone who really doesn’t like the wives that much, I think the cliffhanger where Jonas’s wife walks out on him is more appealing if it’s for real and she never returns. If that’s not the case, one has to wonder who the real fans of the show are. Are they the folks who like taut drama about the sharpest tip of the spear in America’s long battle against implacable enemies, or are they people who desperately want these various marriages to work out? There’s a reason why Band of Brothers never plays on Lifetime.

Either way, as the only CBS show I’ve watched in five years, I hope it survives for another season.

Update: The Unit has been cancelled. It figures.
