    Just watched it, similar sentiments to everyone else, pretty damn impressed

    It starts on Sky 1 on Friday September 12th at 8pm

    Still find it hard to believe a few state police taking over the ship like that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,283 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Just binge watched all of this. Nothing much to add, other than this is basically a 10 hour Michael Bay film. Bring on Season 2!

    Hi,

    I'm only on episode 7 (so no spoilers please ;) - I didn't think much of the characters at first but the show has grown on me ).

    The helicopter made an appearance this episode for the first time since Episode 1.

    I just want to confirm something - it is stored inside the ship and it's absence has not been a continuity error, yes?

    I saw the first episode a lot earlier in the year and with the helicopter "missing" I had it in my head that it was destroyed.

    Cheers.

    Yeah, those later Arleigh Burke destroyers have two Hangers for helis situated in front of the flight deck.
    I think one of the hangers was used in one of the episodes for filming some scenes.

    In the hanger. We chatted about when we watched it too.

    Just after binge watching, and for all is plot holes - its an entertaining show and really cant be taken for anything more serious. Looking forward to the battles next season

    Double episode.

    Not really sure where they will go with now story wise really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,509 ✭✭✭sioda


    I get the feeling she was only one arm of avocet. Like the look of the new enemy from the ep3 promo.

    Was the the highlander I spied in the promo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    This season is severely lacking comically evil Russians. Sure the first two episodes had action but the antagonists were pretty pathetic. Female Obama just didn't cut it for me. If they have the cure now is the whole plot now to distribute it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Cork boy 55


    The annals of war present no more intense, heart-shaking shock than that battle, in which the qualities of the United States Navy and the American race shone forth in splendor. The bravery and self-devotion of the American sailors and the nerve and skill of their leaders was the foundation of all.

    Big clear out of main characters for a first season episode I thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,712 ✭✭✭squonk


    Aside from comically evil Russians I also felt there was a distinct lack of blowing shít up as well. I enjoyed the two episodes though. I'm not sure where they're going to go now. I want the Nathan James to go back to sea! I need more scenes like the guy with the heavy machine gun blowing the helicopter out of the sky! :) I'm just hoping they keep up the swashbuckling attitude they established in Season 1. The initial plot was ridiculous and the whole premise of the show seemed to be "Hooray for the Navy" and "Let's blow things up spectacularly".I just hope now that they haven't thought they need a plot also!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    I really loved season 1 and have watched it several times. However, I fear, similar to Prison Break, which became sh1t once they had broken out of the prison, that once they are no-longer alone floating about on the sea, things will also go downhill for the show.

    Grannerson was introduced as the new leader of America, but she was basically a very small time local dictator in Baltimore. Presumeably there are other dictators and abusers of human rights which the Nathan James can go and aid, but is that going to be it? Captain Chandler said they are going to look for the family of the crew, but, unless that destroyer has wheels we havn't seen yet, thats going to be difficult in a boat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,536 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    The third episode was actionless but didn't suffer because of it. Some good character development, and it looks like they are back on the water next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    yeah was a good enough episode. Gave a good excuse to get rid of the captains kids. Hope they don't introduce the religious guys as the bad guys- they look pretty pathetic. also their Oirish leader is annoying.

    Decent episode last night, I would say best of this series so far, back on the high seas, lots of action, the gun that could shoot around a corner was the highlight for me :D

    This looks like the gun...

    i thought the introduction of the sub a lot more interesting,

    yeah the corner shots been around for years, they had some kind of full auto gun on it,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,536 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Brían F. O'Byrne playing the "boss"? At least that's who I assume he playing .... Nice. :)

    Great episode. I like the new Aussie Wolf character. A bit of a badass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    I was hoping it was russian sub there at the end. Oh well. Good action sequences but the scenes between Wolf, Tex and the Israeli was just so cliched. Still best episode of the season so far.

    I didn't even realise Brían was in this weeks episode, he plays the accent good.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,666 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    enjoyable ep, thankfully the band of hippies arent the "real" bad guys.

    My guess is sub goes rogue..

    Tie up between them and the russians for the mid-season finale, you heard it here first!!

    i must watch the end of the episode again. never copped it was the cig from Love/hate

    Back on form in a big way this week! Good to see that the baddies are not the crazy cult, at least not the main ones anyway. I'm liking the new characters too. Actually even though we're now at episode 3 or 4, it actually felt like a proper season openener. I guess they had to take some time to deal with the fallout from last season and set up a new premise now. Great show!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,558 ✭✭✭✭Skerries

    he was in at the start on the sub when everyone is dead


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,891 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That was a very good episode good old fashioned cat and mouse with the sub.

    Brían F. O'Byrne could get a part on Eastenders if he wants it, his accent is that good :D

    I was hoping it was russian sub there at the end.

    Did no one see the start of the episode, where the two boys were the only survivors on an obviously British submarine?

    Anyway, good return to the seas again. I was worried that the last ship would start to leave the ship behind. With the Russians from the last season out of the way, they needed to introduce a new enemy. A submarine should do nicely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,536 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Very busy episode, a lot happened. Some of the best directed TV action scenes in recent memory too. This is shaping up to be a really great season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,930 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    That was excellent. Great action scenes and moving the story along nicely. Just keeps getting better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    good action sequences and tension but really it was way too easy for them. Infiltrated the enemy with no casualties and managed to kidnap their two most important people. For once I'd like them to kill one of the named navy personnel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,930 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    Another great episode this week. No action but a fantastic scene between the Captain and President.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,536 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Yeah agreed. They do action well, they do drama well. Can't wait to see where this goes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,891 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I love this show so much fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,533 ✭✭✭don ramo


    renewed for season 3, easiest decision made by anyone today :)
