A Tribute To Bob Brown, 4 October 2007
9/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

Bob Brown and some Russian woman named "Ilona" survive a helicopter crash on the Northern Koryak mountains in Russia. Bob is only slightly injured but the woman has a broken hip.

This turns out to be a story more about how one of the series regulars - Brown (Scott Foley) - got to where he is at the moment described above, going back to his first days of training and how he made it through the tryouts, so to speak, for The Unit, when almost all the other recruits failed.

Those scenes are mixed in with his current situation with a lot of parallels drawn between the two time periods. Oddly, they never showed how Brown got into the situation with the downed helicopter in the first place, but it certainly turned out to be a fine tribute to his bravery and it was still a very entertaining show, one of the better ones, in fact.
