Season 5

Does anyone know if there will be a season 5 by anyone. Its such a amazing series!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.100.140 (talk) 18:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There will not be a fifth season. The Unit has been cancelled. Tomm007 (talk) 18:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Tomm007 I hope this is not correct, The Unit is an excellent show. I heard that the story lines for season five had been planned..?! This sort of show could continue into the generations with new actors and situations coming in over the years. Fingers cross for a 5th season - Lenny — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.74.36.72 (talk) 07:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When did Wiki become IMDB?

The awards / nominations and crew sections don't belong on Wikipedia, at least not in their current state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomm007 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate callsigns

Does the cast table really need to be stretched out and made hideously large with all the superfluous information regarding alternate callsigns of the operators? Having their widely used callsigns should be more than sufficient, and would streamline this section considerably.

Tomm007 (talk) 19:03, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and made the changes, after no input for a few months. It certainly makes the cast table less cumbersome. If someone is keen on having the old info included, it might make more sense to add as notes under the table. Although those are also quite lengthy currently, with similar issues to the previous version of the cast table.

Summary needs sources

Beginning with the second paragraph, the Summary section reads like a catalog of original research, analysis and speculation. WP is not a Wikia fansite. We need sources for this information or it must come out of the article. The only cited sources support ratings, the cancellation announcement and the producers’ wishful thinking about what they might have done had the show not been canceled. Nothing else in the article is supported by citations. Adding a refimprove template. 2603:9001:4500:1C09:3089:AC33:BA02:ED01 (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-::::Actually, Jonas did use the name '''Delta''' once in the episode "Morale, Welfare, and Recreation", but not in direct reference to himself or his team. The exact line spoken by him was "Flag the following: Navy SEALs, Rangers, Army Ordinance Disposal, '''Deltas''', CIA, Special Projects.

-::: Does Delta refer to themselves as such?  Is there in fact any such unit?  Yes, I know there is a USGOV website outlining the requirements to apply for selection to Delta.  So what.

-The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) is there official name. Would you be able to walk into their building? Most likely not because it's also most likely hidden much like the book and the tv show describe. The "303rd Logistical Studies Unit" is their cover name, and I doubt anyone not in the military knows the true cover names of the actual Delta Force units.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.69.70.71|24.69.70.71]] ([[User talk:24.69.70.71|talk]]) 00:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
