I mean Eric Dane is not gonna win any Emmys but the video speech to his children was pretty much one take and pretty drat excellent in my opinion. Also I don't know if it's just a byproduct of the navy boat/sub drama but there is excellent as hell tension during the action sequences involving the destroyer and even in the down time the characters are maybe familiar enough to me after 3 years that I care about most of the crew.

The younger Burk is fine because he's been doing cool away team stuff for like 3 seasons now. The older one is kinda just there. Like to fill in some gaps and show that other servicemen have come back after they cured America and all that. He only really existed in the premiere and kinda just floated away after Chandler comes back and sits him out. At least I'm glad he's not doing some weird stupid subplot where he's betraying everyone from within. He just takes it and goes back to his old job after complaining to it to his younger brother. You can see though a few times he and Granderson basically have to just get over it and help each other out because they're both in awkward positions. Also yeah Miller is dopey but I'm kinda glad they have him cause you can tell he clearly isn't a supermodel actor but they give him a decent amount of material where he's competent at what he does. Even the new kid this season (Diaz?) looks like he got picked because of his casting photo or something.

drat, that machete fight cut between the other one was brutal as gently caress. Also creative use of brute force is something that is something the show does well. Target your own helo to get an angle on the enemy. Brings new meaning to the phrase "danger close".

Of course it couldn't completely end well with the Japanese captain steering the ship out of his own minefield and his son being born. I guess it'll be interesting to see where St. Louis goes now that Duck Phillips is dead.

So I'm curious how exactly they are gonna stop Peng from killing off non-Chinese Asians (classic Chinese racism) and then also finding time to come back to St. Louis to gently caress up some White House moles by the end of the season. Oh and also to fix the green mist problem if possible. Also this show was renewed for a 4th season. Yay.

Good to know that the regional powers showing up weren't just set dressing and they're actually playing a bigger part in post-plague America especially by taking control of the office of the POTUS and turning him into a puppet. That's something I wasn't actually expecting to see. That or an American warship being sunk on an American show to be honest. This season is amazing. Can't wait for Tex to come back though.

Apparently if federalism is so bad you just need to stop complaining about the 2nd Amendment being taken away and instead just invent a deadly, contagious virus that kills 300 million Americans. Easy peasy.

Or that the leaders leaked all that info about him letting his son in through the quarantine zone would probably trigger him to become suicidal. Which is almost basically killing him by making him susceptible to killing himself.

For what amounts to a dumb summer show, they decide to do a story about Sinocentric racism and also broke America apart because democracy is lovely and Americans are power hungry SOBs who hate one another and would rather kill federalism to get a leg up one another.

FISHMANPET posted:I was actually a little disappointed that Peng just turned out to be a generic mustache twirling villain. I don't entirely understand what his motivation was for destroying the Japanese people and culture. I mean one poster above isn't wrong that Peng was basically Chinese Hitler in some respects.

Do those missiles that struck the Henan actually exist? Like as the show described they just hovered in altitude until they are told their targets?
