Really dropped the ball.(spoilers).

I loved the beginning of the show, how it became more complex with Wolf doing his Iraq-speech, the rich guy getting mixed up, the other platoon members working it from the outside etc. And I liked it midways still, even though there were a lot of pointless fluffscenes (like the scene between the gay guy and the bank manager). But the ending was just bad. What the hell happened with the writing? It was really good up til then.

For example when Wolf kills Rabbit, and Wahlberg leaves the bank puking, I really thought that Wolf had used Rabbits corpse in disturbing way to trick Wahlberg(which would have explained the silly fight between Wolf and Rabbit, and why he was so overly conflicted after Mouses death about what to do, since Wolf had planned to Rabbit and use the corpse). Would have been some ingenious writing if they could fit it together somehow, but instead they used the ol' "dress up as hostages and espace in the ambo"-routine.

And how the hell could the bug in the photo still be in range? It went out of range the first time they tried to escape, you would like to think that they came further than that this time.

And then Drake turns on his own armybuddies, and a long boring drawn out shoot out. I'm just dissapointed with the whole ending.

The series just fell apart. The last episode was laughable. They obviously didn't know how to tie it together.

Yes the ending was disappointing. I especially wanted more scenes between Wolf and Chloe.

I just watched this yesterday. Saw it in the DVD store, took a chance and watched disc 1. Loved it, and went straight back and got discs 2 and 3.

The ending was a bit of a let-down, but still I found the whole thing to be reasonably entertaining. (Plus, I thought the Ashley Beck character was a tad irritating, but gosh-darn it, she was super-hot!!!)

And I love your comment about the "stormtrooper syndrome", LOL. I did find that kinda unrealistic. Former Iraqi soldiers vs. SWAT and yet their aiming is terrible.

I agree that the shows finale ended up being a little bit of a let down but I enjoyed the series so much that I was able to look past it a little bit. I did want to touch on one thing you talked about.

And how the hell could the bug in the photo still be in range? It went out of range the first time they tried to escape, you would like to think that they came further than that this time.

The bug went out of range the first time because they were underground in a train tunnel. Much like cell phone service, the bug would lose it's range/connection when underground in certain spots. That is the reason for it losing range in the tunnel but not later on when they left the bank. Hope that clears up a little bit of the mess for you.

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on!

Yes Ashley was hot but for me I wanted more scenes between Wolf and Chloe or maybe her going with him.
