The Unit's Official Name

About the onscreen readout specifically identifying The Unit, I'm fairly certain that "ALPHA Team" is referring specifically to Jonas Blane's team, so I'm suggesting that maybe that sentence should have "ALPHA Team" lopped off and just read as follows:

In the third season's premiere, an onscreen read-out specifically identifies the unit as "1st Special Actions Group".

Movie

Dennis Haysbert has bought the rights to Eric Haney's books and was planning a movie or several. Should this be mentioned? And does anyone else have anymore news about this?

A Unit movie would be awesome. Source? Spartan198 (talk) 16:50, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Callsigns

In Switchblade (S04E11), I think two new callsigns have been assigned: "Buckboard" to Jonas and "Dutchman" to Mack. Am I confused, or what? Octane [improve me?] 17.01.09 1523 (UTC)

They don't always use their assigned callsigns. In certain missions they use others. I assume it is to deter others from finding out their real military positions.

Ambiguous comma

The caption for the emblem image said "The Department of the U.S. Army emblem, occasionally thought to be the 303rd's Unit Insignia" even though the emblem was definitely NOT the emblem of the Department of the U.S. Army. Here the phrase "that is" must be implied between "emblem" and "occasionally," and the way to do that is with a space rather than a comma. I lack the patience to see whether other misleading commas have been introduced into the article. --Unitary007 (talk) 17:50, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool Breeze's callsign

I was just watching Season 1 and noticed that Cool Breeze had a callsign of "Moreno" in the episode "Dedication". Right now this is WP:OR, but I thought I'd mention it, so that interested editors (which includes me) can look for references. I haven't seen any other mention of it on WP yet. • CinchBug23:57, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it's in the show it isn't original research, just source the episode with {{Cite episode}} and it can go in. Xeworlebi (tc) 06:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The first time you do that, some A$$pie will revert it claiming it IS original research. Probably within about 5 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.60 (talk) 07:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Premise - Delta Force?

In the show the cast make numerous references to being Rangers. Do they ever refer to themselves as being Delta Force? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.193.248.62 (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No not in the show but the Show is based of a book writing about Delta Force. I hope that helps if you have any more questions just let me know.--Steam Iron 19:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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. I'm just saying, if you know the name, it's probably not being used anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.59 (talk) 03:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
