I loved every single UNIT series... until this one. None of the stories engaged me in any way, my mind drifted away during the second part of the Wirrn story and I could not make myself care any of the side characters. Repeatedly it felt as if this series was made up of stories that were judged as unable to prop up a full 4 disc box set but the BF team hated to give up on them.

The first two parter is very action-packed and I love it when explosions can be heard all around. The Wirrn are fascinating. I like Shana and her introduction to the UNIT family. I hope we get to hear more from her.

Breach of trust focused more on the individual characters. In Hosts of the Wirrn Kate made a wrong decision and this time she tries to make the right one, even if someone has to die to keep Earth safe. The conflict she and her team face is age-old but very important even in our modern times. I love how you can hear Kate being full of emotions. It must’ve been hard for Josh and Osgood to defy their friend and boss.

Open the box is definitely one of my favourite stories so far together with Silenced. Facing your fear is always hard but being force to confront you innermost fear, is very frightening. I love how you can see that Kate is the strong one. She has fears but she battles them everyday and copes. Her speech in the end is the best. I kid you not, I shed some tears:
Kate: “Osgood! Josh! Stand by me, hold my hand!”
Osgood: “I’m so useless! No good!”
Kate: “Never to me! Never! Here hold on. I’m with you. Don’t ever doubt it!”
Osgood: ”Yes, I believe you.”
Kate:“You too, Captain, take my other hand.”
Josh: “Is that an order?”
Kate: “Yes! But one you choose to obey! Because Josh I trust you. You do the right thing.”
Josh: “Yes.”
Kate: “You are an excellent soldier. Because you want to be.”
Josh: “Yes.”
Alien: “What are you doing? You’re taking them away from me.”
Kate: “Your process showed me I can survive alone. Well, I reject that. Here we stand. Together. Unified, an intelligence task force that’s more than a match for some overgrown blob in a jar!”
One of the best dialogues I have heard.

I cannot wait for it to be April and for the new box set to come out

Had a few great moments and funny lines but overall the stories didn't particularly interest me.
