it looks the the torpedo exploded just away from the ship, they'd no hull breach anyway

While I get the the whole annoyance of holding up the work on the cure with the doc, I get the point of it also. Society has broken down and they're right, it's not really acceptable for anyone to kill who they want. They also have the President on board now and I really think that they also have to be seen to be going by the book because of that.

Did the ship sustain much damage in that blast? I'm hoping they don't do a ST:Voyager and have the ship all patched up and perfect again next week.

I'm really getting BSG vibes from the show now. They've really turned this puppy around and made it ionto a fully fledged show. If this was on the Autumn schedule it'd be a highlight let alone standing well above most offerings on the Summer Schedule.

Yeah really getting a BSG vibe to it too. though in BSG in this scenario I would guess that the president and admiral would have disagreed on what to do with the doctor (though not sure who would be on either side). I gues Niels was cute enough that he always let on that he was not deliberately infecting people but i think if they ever find out that Niels gave the submarine the co-ordinates of the secret labs the crew would be less conflicted on him being murdered.

thought it was bit ridiculous. A mass murderer dies and they hold up the work on a cure for a world wide infection with a stupid investigation. The most important doctor and they detain her. The idea that the crew would were conficted also made no sense.

This episode annoyed me. It was all a bit self righteous with the captain struggling with his feelings and all the killing that has been done this season. Chandler should be on his knees kissing the brass ring for what the doctor has done.

When this launched last year, I remember reading how much input the USN had in the making of it, providing the ship etc, mockups of the command centre, comms room, Bridge and other sets.

It struck me that the whole series was a recruiting tool for them. It's no surprise then that the episode played out the way it did, Good honest, all american naval heroes doing the right thing even if the world is breaking down all about.

I likd the idea of Bluetooth forming a network with the phones.

How did the baddies destroy whole NEW ORLEANS fleet in like 10 seconds?

I presume they set charges using frogmen on all the ships and then set them off remotely.

Great scene, caught me off guard, they just can't seem to catch a break can they?

I was initially sceptical of the Sean Ramsey villian, didn't think he had the chops to do much damage, after seeing the fleet go up, I've reconsidered my opinion.

I was mentally screaming at the Doc to tell Chandler to go f*ck himself though. :pac:

Good episode this week, lots of action, some surprise casualties.

2 episodes left, not sure how it will wrap up. Any word on a 3rd series?

got renewed a few weeks back,

yeah great episode, surprised they killed one or two well liked characters, and 2 red shirts,

id say theyll finally get the presidents message out next week, yerone can probably access the network from the ship, so they can broadcast onboard,

i wonder if the british will survive the season, must say theyve been great bad guys,

Mr E · 24-08-2015 8:09pm

Hard not to be moved by that episode. Top notch stuff.

Sudden Valley · 24-08-2015 9:01pm

I definitely saw one of those deaths coming. They have to nip any potential romance in the bud. No fraternization in the navy, and all that.

Skerries · 25-08-2015 12:41am

necrophilia is still possible though

If they go down that route then there is an unlimited supply of potential partners. The Captain can even get back with his wife!

Its called mesh networking. It does actually exist.

Agent Coulson · 31-08-2015 10:21am

A great cat and mouse episode.

Loved that final scene.

Atlantic Dawn · 31-08-2015 11:16am

Great episode. One more to go this season.

I hope somehow Ramsey survives and gets hold of another sub for next season

_Kaiser_ · 31-08-2015 12:57pm

Well that was excellent!

Sudden Valley · 31-08-2015 9:48pm

Pity this show wasn't the Last Sub. Would really think that the back story of the British contingent was much more interesting. Wonder who they will have as the enemy next year- perhaps the Chinese?

There is a story there alright about how Ramsey went from command of the sub with his brother to how they managed to build a pretty extensive network of Immunes and what he may have done in Europe before turning his sights on the US.

you are assuming that Ramsey is dead.

Mr E · 01-09-2015 10:07pm

Ramsey is still alive and going to be out for blood. He'll take out someone important in the finale... just a guess (not a spoiler!)

I suspect this is the case too.

We were shown these Escape Breathing Devices several times:

...and the Chekhov's Gun principle clearly states that "every element in a narrative to be irreplaceable, with anything else removed"

helimachoptor · 03-09-2015 9:01am

decent ending, given the ship is for the most part in one piece i expect them to do enough of a repair to get it running again for the next season

Mc Love · 05-09-2015 2:09pm

Nice coffin for Ramsey!

Preset No.3 · 07-09-2015 2:32am

This better be a good season finale. I'm in the U.S. at the moment and have convinced my family I have to see this.

Preset No.3 · 07-09-2015 3:02am

WOW!!! No spoiler but some may be disappointed!!!

Some might say it was an anti climax episode.

Agent Coulson · 07-09-2015 10:23am

A by the numbers season finale that felt more like a series finale right to the end then bang oh we got renewed we need something for next season.

Preset No.3 · 07-09-2015 12:12pm

Very much so.

_Kaiser_ · 07-09-2015 3:01pm

Yea, bit of a let down after last week, but I kinda expected as much. I'll forgive it an average finalé given the season they delivered which was pretty damn good overall IMO
