Any of the members watching the new #1 hit of the summer, THE LAST SHIP, on TNT network? Wondering how you Navy guys are reacting to it. Very good action show ,so far.

I've watched the first 2 episodes. Way too many commercials. Kinda of a "soundbite" show, imo.

So predictable as to be boring.
The first episode had me thinking I would stick with it. The second had too many "no way in hades" moments (two biggies; instant trust of the guy at Gitmo and the British ship) that I found myself working on my business books and sort of listening.
I'm sure it be on a couple more times but I doubt it will be one I'd pay attention to the time to see.

Took in the first episode. I got tired of the boo-coo commercials. Had enough.

OH, I thought it was going to be a summer blockbuster movie. I don't watch those either. :? :?

Saw the series premiere. Even as a landlubber - former soldier here, not sailor - there were a couple of seriously unmilitary "OH HELL NO!" moments that had me rolling my eyes. And the "Russian" - I'm pretty sure the Red Army doesn't use Bell Jet Rangers and Sikorskys - helo attack on the destroyer was just ludicrous, not least the contention that the demonstratably hostile choppers could close to within RPG range of a Burke-class and score hits on the ship's bridge before finally getting smoked. (Scriptwriter dude, it's an Aegis guided-missile destroyer. They have missiles and radars for a reason... :roll: )
Also, it's been a while since I read the novel on which the TV show was based, but suffice it to say that Michael Bay took lots of liberties with the source material.

I sure don't remember Rhona Mitra being in the book, for one thing... :lol: :lol: :lol:
