SEAL Team Season 6 Episode 5 Review: Thunderstruck

When working as a part of a workforce within the army, belief could possibly be the distinction between life and dying.

If you watch SEAL Team on-line, you already know that belief has been one of many greatest themes of SEAL Team Season 6.

The motive is that there are such vital shifts within the workforce, because of some new faces, so there’s a component of uncertainty.

Omar’s arrival was irritating as a result of he wished to immerse himself on this household by cracking jokes and undermining individuals.

We received to see a extra weak aspect of him on SEAL Team Season 6 Episode 5, and because of this, it was simpler to get on board together with his emotions about not being trusted.

Omar’s perceived lack of belief was exacerbated by Jason taking certainly one of his episodes whereas on the job.

Had Omar been aware about what was happening with Jason, he would in all probability be a bit extra sympathetic.

Jason: I would like to speak to you, man. Up right here.
Ray: All proper. What’s up?
Jason: Now he is grilling you about your captivity.
Ray: Really? I didn’t want that.
Jason: He is asking you questions on once you had been working and struggling. What if he catches wind about you freezing up when Brock wanted you that day?
Ray: And right here I used to be, hoping that your paranoia about Omar was simmering down.
Jason: Ray, you’ve extra to lose than I do.

Then once more, Jason actually should not be main the workforce whereas he is going by way of the consequences of his TBI.

At the very least, he ought to make command and everybody in his workforce conscious.

Granted, most individuals do know, however Omar is an excessive amount of of a brand new entry to be given the data that would save his life.

Jason should confess the reality about what’s taking place within the workforce earlier than it is too late.

Omar’s frustration in regards to the lack of belief was pure. He might have proceeded with the mission with out bailing, however Jason was too frightened that he would not be capable of do it alone.

He stated as a lot when he stuffed within the others in regards to the botched mission, and it actually makes you marvel what his long-term plan is that if his situation worsens.

It should be robust to come back to phrases with such a giant life change, however it’s essential to take into consideration what is going to maintain your workforce secure.

Jason can also be battling paranoia as a result of he is been overthinking Omar’s arrival a lot that he thinks he is the largest villain.

That was proven when Omar tried to empathize with Ray about being again in Syria after virtually dropping his life.

I stated we’re fսcking made. We’re made. Get us the fսck outta right here, now.

Jason

The fact is, Bravo workforce won’t ever be the identical once more, and until Jason begins to belief his total workforce, there is no means they’re going to be capable of operate as a workforce.

Taking the mole into the lion’s den undoubtedly returned to hang-out Jason within the type of nightmares, however in the long run, the choice did repay.

You by no means know what’s across the nook once you’re at struggle, and the explanation Jason has been such an amazing chief up to now is that he thinks about the advantages of each single determination.
 

If you lose the power to try this, you danger being outsmarted by the dangerous guys.

There’s part of Jason fighting letting go, and I would not be stunned if the sequence pivoted to point out another person in management.

Commander Norie’s dying was a heartbreaking growth, however she died by taking the facility into her palms and killing a few of the dangerous guys within the course of.

Her determination in all probability saved a lot of her individuals, so she went out like a real hero.

It’s only a disgrace that Bravo workforce was known as again to the U.S. earlier than they might neutralize the menace, leaving these girls to battle it with out anybody else’s assist.

Clay was additionally fighting a scarcity of belief, and I hope he understands that persons are attempting to assist him earlier than lengthy.

Ray: Take a take a look at this. That is the IP used to buy the rockets that hit the Crampton. It simply popped up. Brigade’s cell telephones that Hamal helped us observe down throughout it.
Jason: That simply fսcking confirms proper there, proper, that the militia attacked the USS Crampton and killed 20 American sailors.

He was kidding himself by pondering that his life can be the identical because it was earlier than the accident.

It’s a heartbreaking scenario and one that will not treatment itself any time quickly.

He’s struggling as a result of he believes persons are bending over backward to indicate he cannot do easy duties.

That was on full show when he went off on a colleague about checking the parachutes and, in fact, his argument with Stella in regards to the child monitor.

His life has modified dramatically, however he is struggling as a result of he thinks everyone seems to be out to get him. He needs to really feel like he may be trusted, however Stella appeared blindsided by his response.

It’s troublesome to look at him undergo this, however his response to the scenario is completely pure, given the circumstances.

It’s not unusual for individuals to battle after they’re instructed they cannot do sure issues.

This journey for Clay is a course of, and he may profit from chatting with a therapist about his emotions.

His psychological well being is declining, he is ostracizing himself from his family and friends, and he is on the lookout for arguments within the office.

I hope that the Bravo workforce rallies and helps him notice that searching for assist to come back to phrases with these current adjustments in his life will assist him drastically.

“Thunderstruck” had plenty of developments for each member of the workforce, and it appears to be like like issues are going to get gnarlier for our favourite characters.

Thanks to the lowered episode order, we’re formally midway by way of the season.

What are your ideas on Jason’s remedy of Omar?

Do you assume the workforce would profit from new management?

What’s your tackle Clay’s scenario?
