Critic’s Score: 3 / 5.0

Had been we prepared for a filler episode so quickly into the third season?
SEAL Staff Season 7 Episode 3 positioned an excessive amount of deal with Drew, and it’s going to take too lengthy to get to know him for me to care that a lot about his household points.
No less than the tip continues to be in sight as each Ray and Jason combat inside themselves about what their futures maintain.
So, let’s begin with Drew. What’s your curiosity stage in him to date?
This sort of “poisonous masculinity,” to make use of a flip of phrase I actually don’t like, does grate on my nerves.
It’s solely been three episodes and I’m already accomplished with the concept an impartial like Drew would have lasted this lengthy within the navy.
The very fact is that the navy life is a group sport. You possibly can’t and shouldn’t try to do it alone. We don’t want TV to inform us that your life actually will depend on the man subsequent to you.
The antagonistic perspective Drew serves doesn’t win pals, and even when he did step up when Jason wanted him within the SEAL Staff Season 7 premiere, for those who don’t really feel like you’ll be able to depend on him each time, that’s going to be an issue.
It could be simpler to get on board together with his introduction if the group wasn’t in disarray and we weren’t already having causes for his conduct shoved down our throats.
Operations are sufficient to screw up these guys, so it’s laborious to think about no matter his household drama is may maintain a candle to it.
Random podcasters hoping to attain filth on his household historical past may do little or no to carry SEAL Staff to a detailed.
Positive, it may prove that no matter his household has accomplished is in some way interlaced with the navy as we all know it now, however with solely seven episodes remaining, I don’t actually care.
Drew’s appointment as a everlasting Bravo group member has Omar involved that Drew could be Jason’s second when Ray retires.
I’m certain that Jason sees one thing in Drew. There’s a particular connection of some type, however I feel it comes from that intimate second when Drew ended Jason’s agony at stabbing that child within the mall.
No matter Jason is experiencing now could be properly past his TBI. His evening terrors are again, and he’s not sure of himself. He’s basing his selections on completely different standards he would have solely months in the past.
He’s taking possibilities that he wouldn’t ordinarily take, which is regarding since he additionally gave Ray one other token for his burn field.
Jason doesn’t assume he’s going to make it, but when he retains going as he has been this season, it may very well be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Ray expressed it properly when he informed Omar that Jason had been identified to handle folks otherwise primarily based on their wants and his. That’s a superb trait in a supervisor so long as everyone seems to be conscious of it.
However Jason is aware of Drew’s historical past, and now we all know Drew’s received an influential household. Drew will most likely be received over by Bravo, enlisting his household to make sure command doesn’t drop the ball on their well being proposals.
Whereas Jason’s inner struggles proceed, Ray may be very excited a couple of future the place the Navy takes a backseat to his household and Spencer Home.
I can’t assist however marvel how simple that transition will probably be for him, although. As a lot as he needs to be all in for Spencer Home, his thoughts is often elsewhere. He’s not caught up on the most recent, and his tour was very uncomfortable.
Ray has the navy expertise, however Naima has first-hand information of the repercussions of that have. She’s a greater level particular person for the general public because of this. Ray ought to are available after all of the flash and lay his coronary heart on the road.
Regardless, I can’t assist however marvel if all of SEAL Staff will make it out of this alive.
Jason’s troubled demeanor is one factor, however the pleasure round retirement offers me extra pause. We see too typically how shut folks get to attaining their goals for them to be ripped away by loss of life.
Each time they are saying “six weeks,” my coronary heart skips a beat. A lot can occur immediately; six weeks looks like endlessly.
And if not loss of life, maybe a dishonorable discharge. Sonny’s not out of the woods together with his assault, even when the navy brass are occupied with his equipment. Two issues could be true without delay.
(As an apart, have you ever seen how unimaginable A.J. Buckley appears? He’s been working laborious! Lean and imply. Find it irresistible!)
Lisa’s issues about Bravo being set as much as fail are on level.
Captain Walsh wants sweat fairness for Bravo to show themselves to him. He selected China and the fentanyl commerce to do it, one man down and after months of being benched.
Everybody sees Bravo as the issue baby, so once they’re a person down, they add an even bigger one to the group.
Lisa’s future can be on the road.
She’s operating her first evolutionary tactic within the new regular for the SEALs.
Did Walsh select Bravo due to her connection to them? Is he pushing all of them nearer to the door?
We’re in for one thing important earlier than SEAL Staff ends, however I can’t pinpoint what it could be.
Do you’ve gotten any concepts? How do you’re feeling about Drew? Are we spending an excessive amount of time on him?
Does Jason’s perspective fear you, or are you extra anxious about Ray’s six weeks ending safely?
Perhaps you didn’t even contemplate this episode filler. How will I do know except you share your ideas?
Please contemplate dropping a remark beneath!
