counterfeitsaint posted:Yeah, he was the worst part of the episode I thought. Well, maybe him and the horrible evil bad guy plant. Why does ever show need one of those now? I laughed when the crew was assembled for the bad news/super inspiring speech from the captain and then the show skipped right over it. I bet they filmed it and the actor couldn't deliver so it was cut. edit: was it just me or did anyone else notice Adam Baldwin is balding

Mu Zeta posted:There was already a nuclear sub drama last year and it was terrible so they probably avoided it on purpose. Also Last Resort was good if not great when it had to be. I'm still confused how a Shawn Ryan military-themed show ended up on ABC of all things.

The second episode was pretty action packed and well paced. Pretty drat good overall. I wouldn't say it was like BGS's "33" insane level of quality but glad to know they didn't blow their entire budget on the pilot and peter out.

They kinda described it as a recently dead infected body can spread it, anyone who gets it is a carrier and will die, somehow though, despite it being airborne you are fine out in the open, it's just in cramped quarters (e.g. the ship itself) it's deadly.

I rather liked it. It started off a little weird (why not have the power blow out before the title sequence?) but I didn't mind it was pretty much a bottle episode for the most part. Good way to set up the different character relationships and all for the most part moving forward. (Tex is a blast to watch). Dunno if I liked the flashback, seemed a little pointless overall just to pay off that one bit of that scene. But I'm sure that's enough. Can't wait for the to begin.

Panorama posted:I'm quite enjoying this for what it is and most of the techy errors go right over my head except for one small little thing. Unless I'm mistaken they seem to be measuring the vital temperature of the super essential scientific samples in Fahrenheit. I'm pretty certain that not even American scientists use Fahrenheit. Does anyone know what the US Navy uses? Stupid thing to be annoyed about but every time they mention 41 degrees it jars.

Leb posted:Holy gently caress, this episode is even worse than the last one. I mean, I knew going into this that this wasn't going to be the book, but Christ, these characters, their motivations and their development arcs are pretty much entirely nonsensical. What was the problem?

Hmm, interested in seeing where it goes now that they have been renewed for season 2. But either way it looks like they're in the home stretch. Last Sunday's episode was alright, nothing too fancy really. Next week is the finale though.

Acquilae posted:Cops seizing an entire Navy ship? hahahahaa I don't know what their plan is other than take the goods and then ... sink the ship? Wouldn't you want a destroyer though? Too bad you have to basically murder the entire crew and staff it with a new one with what training? Evil government was kinda over the top but I guess I haven't heard the Black Plague used as a rationale so I guess that was original enough. GaussianCopula posted:I dont really get why they are so mad about killing infected people (who will die anyway). If that stops the spread of the infection it might not be the worst idea. Additionally how does the socio-economic status help you in anyway, as "mom's" speech implied? Or are they giving the fake cure/vaccine to healthy people too? The guard said that Olympia was only for the sick so in my book everyone in there was already as good as dead before they got the lethal injection.

Are people still seriously hung up about Lost and Heroes? People know better now (for the most part) than to pull the poo poo they did back in the day.
