Gus: Kicking off a renaming round for this one. Preserving the name for the show, we need something for the trope.
Woops, cancel that. The show was cancelled, methinks.
Silent Hunter: Cancelled? It hasn't even started yet. The Futon Critic (which really liked the pilot) does not say it's been cancelled.
Gus: Yup, my bad. My memory conflated an article about a role on The Unit not "working out" for Amy Acker into the 'series' not working out.
Silent Hunter: The show is now in its second season. How about we call this The Squad and make this the entry for the show?
Fast Eddie: That could work, or it could go the The Unit (Series/TheUnit) path. I dropped the series, myself, after a few episodes made it clear it was yet more "terrists-is-out-to-get-us" propaganda, but someone may have something to say about it. Either way, The Squad is a perfectly cromulent name for the trope.
Silent Hunter: I'm a watcher, starting mainly because Dennis Haysbert's in it. Mind you, I can't think of many trope examples in it.
Dark Sasami: Trigger pulled. Welcome to The Squad. You have no idea how little the sequence of letters s q u a d looks like a word right now.
Alex F: Wouldn't Platoon fit into this mold?
