Michael Bay's The Last Ship on TNT

[klang]

Welp, next step is to save the union. I still don't quite see how the ship will be relevant for that mission but I assume the creators must have a plan.

I originally thought after Asia the story might move on to Europe. Obviously that isn't happening now.

This story at least takes back to our country and away from the Asian countries. But I don't see how the Nathan James crew can put the U.S. back together after this little mini coup. I also don't see how they could take apart the military industrial complex so easily with a few assassinations. Where did they get all the concrete walls- (complete with concertina wire to prevent escapes)- they were using to build this wall between each of the 5 territories? IF over 90% of the U.S. population has died from the virus , then what did they do with all those corpses? This show is getting a little harder for me to suspend disbelief. But I will keep watching to see what happens.

TNT tacks on early Season 5 renewal: http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/last-ship-season-5-tnt-renewed-1201855103/

Can't wait for the season finale this weekend. Still don't think coup resolution is at hand yet though.

 

[MikeD-C05]

We took like 9 episodes to get some type of resolution over the China/Japan/ Vietnam story and the cool mini coup that takes out the U.S. government can't get wrapped up this quickly. So I'm sure that they will leave us with a summer cliff hanger.

I'm sure that a summer cliff-hanger is at-hand...took most of the season setting up the coup...resolving it in one episode wouldn't be realistic...have been enjoying the ride though...

 

[klang]

I was wrong, the coup is more or less over. Now the rebuilding. I'm assuming there is more to look forward to in the next two seasons then just the rebuilding. This remains my favorite summer show. Followed closely by Dark Matter.

I too was wrong, though they wrapped it up quickly, they did a good job of it...

Spoiler

Did we lose another major character in Chandler, as he left the ship for the last time?

I don't think so. I'm guessing the season will resume with someone seeking him out to resolve whatever the next crisis/mission is.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Starting to sound like real life. One crises after another.

I don't think so. I'm guessing the season will resume with someone seeking him out to resolve whatever the next crisis/mission is.

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out...it's my favorite Summer show, that's for sure...

 

[MikeD-C05]

They sure wrapped the coup up in short order. Loved how Capt. Tom dealt out justice at the end. Now we have him with a crisis of faith going in to the season finale.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Was half-expecting him to do that, wasn't sure he would, but she just kept yammering and pushing all the wrong buttons, and between his father and Tex...wasn't surprised by what he did. The crisis of faith really shouldn't have been an issue for him, but you know those dang script-writers...

Didn't you think that Ms. Shaw looked a lot like a younger , heavier Sharon Stone? Her voice and the way she goaded Tom in the plane reminded me of Sharon Stone in the Basic Instinct movie -except she kept her legs together and wore underwear.

How do you know she was wearing underwear?

LOL! Didn't think of that at the time, but yes, now that you mention it, I see the resemblance.

How do you know she was wearing underwear?

Now I need wash the coffee out of my keyboard!

 

[MikeD-C05]

How do you know she was wearing underwear?

Actually I don't. But we never saw her getting interrogated by the cops, sitting down in a chair crossing her legs either.

Then ending sucked...beloved character lost....again! Who will die at they end of next season?

 

[KAB]

OK, I have watched the finale two or three times, and still CANNOT figure out when/where/how Tex go shot. He seemed fine on the plane, did not get shot at when he got back on. Driving me NUTS!

 

[long_time_DNC]

I'll rewatch that part and see if I can spot when Tex got hit...

 

[harshness]

This may be something that they didn't present so that nobody would see it coming.
