Today’s episode of SEAL Team has me reeling, and I can’t believe I’m posting this. It’s always hard losing a character you loved so dearly, no matter the show or the outcome.
To Max Thieriot- thank you for everything. The past six seasons would never have been the same without you and Clay. Thank you for the laughs, the way you always cheered me on whenever I posted whatever SEAL Team-related project I had going on, for your kindness every time I had the chance to chat with you. We’re gonna be missing you and Clay so hard, but fandom loves you so much and I hope you know that wherever you’re going we’re going, too.
To Clay Spenser- Losing you feels like a shot to the heart, but it’s also knowing that Clay will live on forever; through Bravo, through Stella and little Brian. You can rest easy now, Bravo 6. Here’s to seeing you on the other side, but just know: you will always love within all of us. The only easy day was yesterday. 🤍💫

The Thing With The Door in SEAL Team
I know we've had more important things to happen in Episode 5. But I'm really confused about the layout of Clay and Stella's apartment.
Photos and examples are below:
*No big plot spoilers dw :)
So clearly what used to be Clay's bedroom was converted into Brian's nursery. Which is the room connected to the bathroom.
Pic from earlier season:
Pic from after Brian was born:
(See the wallpaper changed and elephant on the door)
All of the doors to rooms are in that white wooden style. See here in this photo, the panelled folding door behind them is for a cupboard/wardrobe:
The doorframe for the way into OG Clay bedroom/Brian's room (and then through to the bathroom) is behind Max in this photo i.e. directly from the living room:
And we've seen where the kitchen ends but the only other door that is visible is a panelled folding one, like the one used for the cupboard above. See in this horrendous screenshot I took from 6x02:
Brian's room is directly behind Alona and the panelled door is in front of Brian's high chair. (It's blocking the door which they wouldn't do if they frequently had to use the door e.g. to get to their room).
I'm just wondering what their bedroom looks like and where is it? Where's the door? Because we've never seen any other bedrooms in the apartment (I don't think? Even when he was viewing it in Season 1, I don't recall seeing a hallway).
Also just an observation that the living room/kitchen area looks bigger than previous seasons. I presumed they made the set bigger (or started using different shots) for filming purposes.
Just intrigued, I'm probably the only person who's weirdly obsessed over this. Lemme know!

I want to write an alternate path from part the way through Episode 1, Season 6 of Seal Team and I just can't get enough oxygen around work and life and spending free time dazed on the lounge. This though I got written, probably definitely more for me than you.
"Okay so...." she squeaked as Sabre One interupted her thought, speech and progress with a harsh grasp of her biceps, propelling her backwards until she hit the side of the shack, her backside landing on some upturned drums, feet dangling in the air.
He took another step between her legs, crowding her, and caged her in with his hands, his face inches away from hers.
"What the *fucking* hell Samira?!" he yelled. "Are you goddam fucking insane?"
She had paled but she lifted her chin defiantly. "Of course I'm not! It was the logical thing to do."
"Logical" he sneered. "You put your head in front of a fucking loaded weapon!"
"He wasn't going to shoot me," she replied dismissively.
"*He* wasn't holding the gun dammit," Daniel slammed his palms against the shack, the thump making her jump a little. Clay saw Jason lift his chin in a gesture to Wally but the latter gave a little shake of his head.
"A trigger happy zealot who wants to make a name for himself by killing one of the infadel and impress his boss was holding the gun," Daniel was continuing relentlessly.
"Ibden would have killed him instantly," she snapped.
"Such a great fucking comfort that would be to him and all of us while I was clearing your brain matter off my goddam fucking *body armour*" he roared.
She had closed her eyes part the way though and she flinched at his crescendo, his rage almost a physical blow.
"D" Wally said mildly, taking a step forward.
Daniel blinked, looking over at him and the rest of them, then turning back to her, looking eye to somewhat watery eye.
"Fuck," he swore and peeled off, striding down the alley. Clay saw Pete take a couple of steps backwards and then turn to go along a parallel trajectory. Interestingly, Jason also turned to follow his contemporary.
Samira took a deep breath and then hopped off the barrels, "Soldier!"
Wally moved quickly, catching her around the waist and swinging her back next to the drums.
"What the hell Wally?" She demanded, glaring as he stepped into her path when she would have otherwise restarted her attempt to follow Daniel into the camp.
"What say you leave the furious highly trained special forces soldier alone to cool down a little bit?"
"He's not going to hurt me Wally," she said firmly, although Clay suspected that there would be physical evidence to the contrary on her arms shortly.
"I know," Wally agreed. "But he really *really* wants to hurt something, so hows about you give him some time to kick a dog, a cat, punch up several small children and a stone wall or eight just as a little treat before you ding the bell for Round 2 huh?"
She smiled despite herself and Wally let his arm drop from its defensive stance. "You scared the bejesus outta him ya know?"
"I wasn't in any danger Wally," she responded with just a hint of defensiveness
"I know, I know," he soothed. "I believe you," he paused and then added, "thousands wouldn't but I do," and her slightly gratified expression soured in his direction.
It didn't even make a scratch.
"You got stop doing that shit Sammie," he continued. "We're the ones trained to play with the lead and gunpowder, you're here to talk."
"He might have shot him Wally," she replied in a smaller voice.
"That he might have," nodded Wally. "And unless he changed his aim substantially, D would have a really nasty bruise and trouble breathing for a good minute or so."
"And Rupe would have killed Ibden," she added, "and you would have opened fire and we would have started a shitstorm in a medical compound with our only ally in the region who has previously helped save my life!"
"Not saying it wouldn't have gone sideways pretty drastically" acknowledged Wally. "Just maybe that you could stuck your hand in front of the barrel instead of your head and pretty much got the same result?"
She blinked, opened her mouth, and then closed it. "Shit," she rubbed the heel of her hand into her eyes. "Bloody hell."
"Yeah," he inspected his fingernails for a moment of two. "So why don't you go and work your schmoozing magic with B2 there," his tone was lifted in a question and Ray nodded once in acquiescence, "on those hard nosed doctors and nurses and we'll go dig out the vehicles Ibden mentioned and go get those kids back."
She took a breath, centring herself and nodded, turning to him with a slight smile and placing a hand briefly on his forearm. "Thanks Wally."
He gave her a wink and she walked away, within ten paces she and Ray were deep into what they were going to need and how they were going to get the inevitably high price delivered.
"Ya know," drawled Sonny into the quiet, having shown an unknown capacity for silence during the whole display. "I do upon occassion remark how low our remuneration is for the amount of shit we have to put up with but my man, the entire clan of pharaohs of Egypt didn't bury enough gold in them pyramids of theirs for me trade places with you for one day."
Wally turned an outraged face to him, "you guys get paid?!"

My opinions on Season 6 of SEAL Team
CW: ** Big big season 6 spoilers and especially the most recent episodes 8 + 9. Click at your own risk bc I've tagged accordingly!
I do feel like we've got the short end of the stick with everything pre-episode 8. (Sidenote: I'm British, so like we've been sort of robbed essentially).
Obviously Max has Fire Country to do as well, so he probably didn't have enough time to do anything else. It's likely they wouldn't have him lose his leg if he didn't have another show to do. Obviously doing both at the same time was a great personal risk for him, so I hope that works out!
Idk I just feel like they could've gone a different way about it, knowing he would die. The approach to the relationships between characters. They could've done much more with the limited scenes they had. Sad that we didn't get many positive scenes with Stella and Clay, or just domestic cuteness with Brian. Maybe even seeing Grandpa Ash to show their rekindled relationship. The scenes with Clay's family in felt a bit lacking considering what we know about him already. Although saying that, I do think that the plot and pacing of episodes 8 + 9 were really good and fit well with the established personality of characters.
I also know that quite a few people watch for Max or Clay as a character is a strong incentive for them continuing to watch. So I'm intrigued if viewership will drop or (if renewed) they'll decide to do more action, focus on Stella (If Alona will still even be written into it) or Ray/Naima to make up the lack of 'home" scenes.
But I do have hope for the next ep bringing closure so we will have to see! The scene with Naima, Davis and Stella was really sweet. "He loved you, Lisa" absolutely destroyed me.
