SEAL Group Season 7 Episode 6 Evaluation: Hundred-Yr Marathon

Critic’s Score: 4.05 / 5.0

4.05

If Bravo Group ain’t what it was once, neither is SEAL Group.

I went into SEAL Group Season 7 Episode with some trepidation. A lot of this season hasn’t labored that I used to be shocked at how effectively this hour did.

Lastly, I can empathize with Jason and the group is feeling extra cohesive. However understanding Jason doesn’t make his story simpler to bear, and even a cohesive group runs into hassle.

Jason Hayes, Household Man

Thank God that Mikey isn’t truly a burgeoning drug addict. Nonetheless, he discovered completely nothing from his father, which could say extra about Jason’s deployment schedule than his parenting abilities.

Mikey cracked underneath the strain of his damage nearly instantly. Are you able to think about if he adopted in his father’s footsteps to the battlefield? God assist us all.

Regardless of how he checked out is after the very fact, Jason mentioned and did all the proper issues. Even should you’re in ache, you can’t and mustn’t take extra ache tablets. Jason is aware of that higher than most.

Mikey dug his heels in and almost died when his buddy tried to “assist.” His pals have been passing round ache tablets, and Mikey inadvertently swallowed a road drug that contained the lethal drug Tranc.

There was a cheerful ending, but it surely didn’t make Jason really feel any higher about what occurred. He blames himself for not listening to Mikey when he famous his ache. That’s hardly the proper takeaway from his expertise.

As an alternative of his residence go to cementing his must be a household man, it might have simply sealed Jason’s destiny to die on the battlefield. His thoughts tells him he’s unable to have a balanced life. No different SEALs pull it off, so why would he?

This occasion doesn’t pressure Jason to really feel a deeper must be along with his household; it appears to push him again to his consolation zone.

Omar’s First Lead

Sonny and Drew speaking over the comms was nothing in comparison with how Sonny drove the mission by means of these comms.

Why IS Omar Bravo 2 anyway? Leaders don’t query themselves as usually as Omar questions himself. From my perspective, he doesn’t have what it takes to be a pacesetter. He’s too simply flustered.

Omar let his group push him to behave in methods he may not have in any other case, going towards direct orders from command. A pure chief is not going to be swayed by these underneath his command. Blaming others and saying he was compelled to make a name he didn’t wish to make mentioned the whole lot.

He owned his resolution when requested, however he was nonetheless doubting himself, and I don’t suppose he really believed what he mentioned.

Omar is just not prepared to guide. Interval.

His group, particularly Sonny, who has plenty of sway of their small group, doesn’t totally belief or consider in him.

The One When All of a Sudden, I Like Drew

Consuming with the fellows, becoming a member of in on the enjoyable and video games. All it took was a hot-house emotional explosion to open him as much as the brand new frontier.

He and Sonny get alongside like besties, which requires Omar to be slightly extra affected person than he was in the midst of an operation.

However when the rubber met the street, Drew had Omar’s again. He gave glorious recommendation and was instantly personable, along with the knowledge he’d proven on earlier missions.

We’ve puzzled why Drew was added to the collection at this late date, and now it is sensible that he will probably be Bravo 1 when Jason both waves the white flag or is killed in motion.

He is aware of extra about management than Omar and has received over his teammates. He went from being a lone wolf to being chief of the pack.

The recommendation he imparted on Omar spoke extra about himself than what he considered Omar’s capabilities.

The primary two sentences within the quote above are straight from Drew’s coronary heart, revealing his views on main a group. His try to get well by tossing Omar a bone about his priorities didn’t meet the mark.

His previous nonetheless doesn’t make sense, particularly after he shares why he wasn’t with Echo through the fateful op.

If something, it was much more motive why each different SEAL Group would have been conscious he was part of Echo. However dwelling on it makes no distinction.

I see a future the place Drew is Bravo 1.

Bravo’s Coming House

Bravo’s actions did what they meant.

They displayed proof of idea for built-in deterrence, which is what Lisa has been combating for. With targets on their backs now, their job is finished.

Lisa isn’t happy with the success, probably as a result of she is aware of Bravo’s future continues to be on the road.

With 4 episodes to go, we would have simply witnessed Bravo’s final finest op. If Jason’s future is to die in motion, there will probably be one other. But when he’s main, I count on it to go south quick.

Bravo has tasted a world with out Jason and Ray, which might change the group dynamic much more. With so lots of them doubting themselves, it paints a grave image for a way the collection may finish — at the least for Jason.

Adapt and Overcome

In the course of the episode, they used the phrase “adapt and overcome,” which SEAL Group members need to do repeatedly.

However what the “Hundred-Yr Marathon confirmed is that adapting can generally make it even more durable to beat obstacles.

Jason adapts to each situation, however he has issues totally integrating into his completely different worlds. It’s not that he or any of the SEALs have a reverse Midas contact, destroying no matter they contact. They’re so adaptable that they’ll snuggle into even unsavory circumstances simply to maintain respiratory.

What occurs once they lose that adaptability? We would simply discover out in these remaining 4 episodes.
