Warning: Spoilers
So, our heroes receive a distress call from a downed helo. I can't find any reference to Ajir, Libya on the interwebs, but the location on the map is about an hour drive from Tripoli. Somehow, Section 20 has enough time to formulate an insert, extraction and exfil plan, kit up, and fly to this location in time to save the guy that they are after.

To close the episode, our heroes make a miracle sprint for 20 seconds, which should have gotten them about 150 meters. But ... spoiler alert: they make it.

Then the BDA team shows up, who I am assuming are American and they give our boys a "hoorah". ... I don't know what branch says that. It's not the Navy, Army or the Corps. Air Force sounds like the Army, so maybe it was the Coast Guard? If there had been an actual adviser with military experience (like I felt the previous seasons had ... well, 1-4 ), I would have expected them to catch that. No one says "hoorah".

Oh yeah, I'm starting to notice horrible muzzle sweeps that I don't remember seeing in the previous seasons. Again, I don't think that they have an adviser on set, and it is starting to show.

Bad acting, worse writing, lack of attention to detail, unrealistic time warps ... This isn't getting any better. Trudging on.
