Title: Last Resort
Post by: rpm on September 27, 2012, 07:20:16 PM
Anyone watching this new show about a rogue US Navy boomer on ABC? So far it's pretty dang good but they are just setting up the backstory. I'm sure it will dissolve into a soap opera fast enough.

Navy Seal getting drunk at native bar watching USS Colorado launch a nuke in retaliation.- "That's not good."  :rofl :rofl :rofl

it was err...ehh...interesting. should devolve into a typical "writers don't know what to do" before the season ends. nowhere near as riveting as sons but i didn't expect much based on the premise.

i found elementary to be far more entertaining...

They need to revisit 'Bah Bah Black Sheep' or something similar. With the CGI and other cool stuff they could put together some wicked shows!... before they dissolve it into some sappy Jersey Shore clowns flying around crying about their wives back home... *sigh*  :cry

I fell asleep before I could actually watch the first episode. Looks pretty good though from what I've seen.

The second episode was good. Not quite as good as the first one, but still interesting.

The Navy folks have GOT to be rolling on the floor laughing at what the writers think a boomer is like. I have had a very difficult time with the program. The eye candy is nice but there are holes you could float a battle group through in the script. Frankly I think it's one of those shows that is a whole lot better if you are about 4.9 sheets to the wind watching it.

Completely agree. You have to suspend reality and take it for what it is, a TV drama. But at least it's an interesting storyline. I can't see it lasting more than 1 season tho. Would have made a really good miniseries.

I sometimes think i would enjoy these kinds of shows if i didnt watch the military channel so much. If i didnt have a clue about how that stuff worked it would be awesome

You have to look at it like a war movie. There might be an ounce of accuracy per 10 pounds of story. At least they aren't killing aliens with an Iowa class battleship.

Accuracy of the show so far summed up - Subs operate in water
