Goofs

The terrorist Patrick Collins is shot in the abdomen by his own compatriots. Hector Williams evaluates his condition and says that "peritonitis is almost certain." Once Collins and the team are on the extraction plane, Collins asks for food. While this is a diversion to allow him to escape interrogation, Jonas Blane (or anyone else with any medical training) should have known to deny food. Even if peritonitis wasn't "almost certain," American medical protocol since at least the Korean War has been only to give water to patients with abdominal wounds, as any other fluids or food will cause peritonitis.

Retreiving A Missle & A Terrorist

A downed Chinese military satellite is laying in the grass somewhere in Africa and our SpecOps men are there to get it. As they do, however, they are chased by a big truck of rebels and in the passenger seat is an Irish terrorist, one of the most wanted men in the world. It's interesting to see how the SpecOps "trade" for the terrorist.

Meanwhile, back at the base, Bob is having a hard time because the FBI is questioning him about he and Jonas' unauthorized assault on the hijacked plane from last week's opening episode. He's also having spats with his wife. (I guess we are going to have to put up with this soap opera stuff in each episode, probably to please the females in the audience and to give breaks in the intense military action scenes. However, there is a touching scene when the ladies go visit a wife who just lost her husband.)

Anyway, it's a good episode with a startling finish. I'm already starting to get hooked on this show.
