New show, "The Last Ship" (1 Viewer)

[Mad Cow]

I am just wondering how the freak many torpedoes they are carrying on that sub. Do they have a spare sub full of just torpedoes following them around to reload them or something?

 

[the moops]

doesn't seem like they have fired too many, have they?

 

[Chadstroma]

Hmmm, this last episode was another head scratcher. So many inconsistencies and I'm sorry but no one, and I mean no one, will give a rat's ### that the dude died or was killed. He was evil personified and deserved worse than he got.

The bigger thing was.... if the sub just sat there they would not be detected and then they could have waited until the Nathan James came up right along side the flotilla and sunk her easily. But instead they blow up the flotilla, shoot off a bunch of torpedoes and their big move was to have another boat that just happened to be close enough without being noticed to take video.

 

[Chadstroma]

That said- I approach this show more like I do a popcorn action flick where I try not to think about the holes and enjoy the action.

In the end it made sense.. They didn't want to just sink the ship and possibly have survivors with the cure.

They want to make sure that people believe they are the only ones that can save them and that others, like this ship, are in reality trying to exterminate them so join us and help stop them.

I love the show. The Vanguard class SSBN only has 4 tubes as it's not an Attack Sub. I don't know if they are all 4 forward facing. I doubt it carries more than 8-10 torpedoes. It's not intended to slug it out with other vessels. It's designed to be quiet and avoid detection.

Ah yes, you also have the 8-12 ballistic missiles it also launched all at once. It has fired what, 4 torpedoes last episode, it fired at least a few in previous episodes as well.

Well, they do supposedly run all of Europe atm. Resupplying should be feasible.

Feasible... but you have 10% at most population left. 10% of the British Navy, possibly a NATO ally, that know how to run the ships and resupply? Seems to me that getting enough guys to crew the sub would be a stretch.

Now, keep in mind I really like the show, but I hate how they go a few episodes and it feels great, then they throw out one where they did not even consider to think about logistics. For example, when would they resupply in Europe over the last, oh, I don't know, 4 days that they were damaged and repairing? It just takes me out of it, as I said earlier, which forces me to evaluate other things.

Trust me when I say I am not trying to defend the logic holes here, but you are discounting a number of unguarded military bases left abandoned thanks to the virus.

Keep in mind, I see the ridiculous nature in even debating an imaginary show, and I will give you that they could resupply in England, given that it is a British sub. However, they are not resupplying with US torpedoes or missiles. That would not even be close to their capability at this stage. We are pretty sure they don't have a tender following, so anyway. . . What it comes down to is I am tired of this arc and ready for the immunes to die. It is dumb that they will indiscriminately kills tens of thousands of innocents and their followers blindly follow along.

 

[Chadstroma]

Yea, there are some significant 'issues' all along this show. Like I said before, to really enjoy it you have to approach it like a popcorn action flick. I think if they filled in the logic holes with better/smarter thinking/writing then this would be a GREAT show. For me, it is an enjoyable show and something to look forward to. Once it runs it's course I likely will never think about it again but while it is here- sure, fun stuff. Just need to get more excuses for eye candy shots of the Israeli and Mitra.

Well, in regards to that, there are only a handful of people that know the Immunes destroyed the Other Outposts, and as far as the followers are concerned the only communication they have seen is videos of "The Last Ship" destroying survivors.

Ravit wait...

Why not?

 

[Rustoleum]

Apparently there can only be two non-Navy women on board at a time. New spin on the T-Dog corollary.

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm not sure I like the exchange though

 

[Chadstroma]

That was a quick exit for the Israeli chick. Pretty surprised as she seemed to be making her way into the core of the characters. I guess they will bring in new characters and kill off some as they go.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

What did that dude say before he shot Rachel?

[MaxThreshold]

Probably nothing, but I was a little bit irritated that they weren't still on alert. I mean, she's pretty important and for them not to still have some kind of escort on her until the threat is completely eliminated seemed out of place.

I'd hate to see her go, she looked great in the dress and I always liked her character. I was more annoyed that 1) that guy got to her so easily, 2) he knew exactly where to find her, pretty sure the hotel didn't have credit card bookings and how the heck did he know about the hotel, 3) that he even gave a #### when his boss got nabbed and everyone else he knew was killed and 4) that he even got away from that scene. How the heck to #4 even happen. Sure seemed like they had them surrounded. Did they just let that guy go? Maybe I didn't watch enough, but if he was so into his boss that he did #3, then wouldn't you think he would go down with a bang trying to save him?

I hate shock value just to have shock value. I would have been fine if it was someone completely different we hadn't seen and he dropped a picture of her after he shot her. That would make sense that their plan B was to kill the doc (they would have known about her from the idiot that started it), but just using the guy who should have been dead in the shoot out or captured was terrible.

 

[Gator Shawn]

Rachel was smoking in that dress. Too bad she got shot. I don't think she's dead. He shot her in the upper chest, could have missed her heart and I would expect aid to come almost immediately.

This. Was a single shot too....doubt they kill her off like that.

The political stuff with Michener and his staff and the reporter is all pretty boring.

I just stare at the Kara actress in those scenes.

I guess I was way off base here.

Almost gave up on this show 4 or 5 episodes ago. Glad I stuck with it.

This season has been very good... Next week is the season Finale

Any ideas where I can start watching this? TNT app seems to start at S02:E09. Am I missing something or do I have to buy an Amazon season pass for seasons 1 and 2 (read as: torrent) to catch up on a current show?

Not sure of the answer, but you do want to watch from the start.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Great show. My fav right now

 

[Rustoleum]

I enjoy this show, but the director that allowed that train scene to end like that should be blackballed from the industry.
