The actors on the Unit weren't that old, say for Robert Patrick and even Dennis Haysbert has that mature solid look to him. How's that bad? Does CBS need more soaps and teen dramas? I though networks nowadays are beyond the usual teen highschool or college bullshit shows.
But anyway, one thing I noticed the Unit being a bit more genetic is the weapons loadout of their M4. In the beginning to the 3rd season, we see their M4s with little accessories on them, but when we got to season 4, suddenly they had...i forgot the name of those boxes, AIM or AQ something. The laser aiming devices we see all the time, foregrips, and sights. It used to be just a ACOG or some other kind of sight and that's it. Now their gear had one too many attachments on them.
The epsiodes where we see just handguns and hitting a target at a distant where a rifle would have trouble and when the enemy targets are moving is very unbelievable.
It is a shame to see the Unit gone, but it's a surprise it lasted this long. The first season was only meant to be a mid season replacement with only 13 episodes.
