Season 5 disk

I just binged the last ship and love it however season 5 isn’t online. I found a German version for a lot cheaper Blu-ray than the us and have the ability to play international disks…anyone know if the extras on the German edition are different? There’s more listed on the back however sometimes international lists extras the us disks have but don’t advertise. Any help appreciated….why is seasons on Blu-ray so expensive for this show!

Season 3 onwards....

Anybody else feel like it lost its way?

Season 4 was bearable but rhe giorgio storyline lacked depth. I feel when cap chandler ledt i lost faith in the show. Although i purused.

Season 5 i feel is horrible and overworked. This i am sad about as i really liked this show. The twists turns and storyline depth was amazing. Untill now? Anyone else feel the same

It’s 4am right now and I just finished s2. Rachel…

I hate that they offed her. I’m like 10 years late to the show I know that and probably this has been said before but literally wtfff? Not going to lie, in the last let’s say 10 minutes where she was talking to chandler I literally thought they were going to kiss (side note I’ve been shipping them since season 1 and thought they were finally going to get together) ANYWAY

I’m literally heartbroken. That’s such a tragic way to end her character after everything both her and the crew had endured. At least a good thing with watching late is that I don’t have to wait for season 3 but my God I hope she’s still alive otherwise this show is just Game of Thrones on a ship.

I don’t know if anyone would care about this post since I’m soo late but damn. I don’t even think I can watch season 3 because I’m soo depressed…

Justice for Rachel (the show end in 2018)

Why not nuclear

I’m currently in a rewatch of The Last Ship and I have a question.

On a side note from The Last Ship kinda…

Why are not all US ships nuclear? I understand the Vyerni is a Russian Cruiser, which is a bigger ship than the Nathan James, but can someone tell me why the us does not have an all nuclear navy? It seems that the Nathan James would benefit from this for sure. I’m sure the Navy would make more room for more supplies if that was the case.

Idk why but I’m curious

Aircraft carrier

May have been asked and answered, but what if the Nathan James was an aircraft carrier instead of a ddg? Would it have survived better? I’m thinking the jet fuel would have been the big problem. That and the maneuverability vs a destroyer.

S4 - Chandler's kids

So, Chandler is living in Greece with his kids. He seems to be working with some fisherman. Okay.

The fisherman and him stand up to the local warlord, more or less, and anger him. The fisherman ends up dead. Chandler knocks out the guy's big bad fighter publicly in retribution. The guy approaches Chandler after the fact, and asks him to join them. On what seemed like a spur of the moment decision.. Chandler agrees and goes with the guy.. just drops what he's doing and leaves.

I'm now halfway through the season.. and what should be at least a couple days later.. and there has still been no mention of his kids. Did he just.. leave them in Greece without any warning? Did I miss something, or did the writers just forget that he had a family with him?

When does this show get good? It seems to be cheesy macho one liners and plot armour.

IMDb ratings are high. Can't figure out why.

Confused about time between S3 and 4

So basically Season 3 ends with the coup, the President escapes St. Louis and the Peng/Anticure threat destroyed. Season 4 starts with a whole new plant virus threat. Was there something I missed where they beat Shaw and the regional governors? Or did they just skip over/cancel that whole plot line. I noticed it jumps to 19 months later or something.

Where are all the bodies? Norfolk specifically

Baltimore has a grotesque way of getting rid of them (it works I guess), but for so many towns and cities I wonder where the bodies are. In many mass deaths this becomes a huge problem: morale, sickness, rodents, smell, etc. The other problem is civil services (garbage, power, infrastructure,etc). Avengers actually shows this well at times after Thanos (I know made at a later time). First time watching this, so not sure if they show this better later on.

I thought this discussion (in comments) might interest THE LAST SHIP fans. Changing naval weaponry for defense against small boat (terrorist/pirate) attack.

Can I watch season 5 till the end without a big cliffhanger (no spoilers please)

Please, no spoilers, I've started watching season 5, but I now read that the serie was discontinued (lets pretend I was under a rock, I purposely never check for news on tv shows because I end up getting spoilers and I don't like knowing what happens next before watching it), and I want to know if the season 5 ends with a cliffhanger or not, if there's a big cliffhanger, I will stop watching the serie right now at episode 1 of the season 5, I'm not a fan of what is going on (I avoid spoiling it for anyone)

Cossetti death in The Last Ship season 1

Cossetti's death was the crews' fault. Yes, he and some mates wanted off the ship at some point, but they shouldn't have held it against him like that. Most of us would have wanted off a ship that was taking us nowhere.

Instead of showing him some grace, they guilted him to the point that he had to overcompensate and died proving an unnecessary point.

It did annoy me when they pretended to care for him after he died, when all they ever did was yell at him as a form of "tough love".

The flare system in the El toro episode is stupid.

Surely in the centuries of warfare that flares have been used, there has been scenarios where the enemy have captured them, figured out the flares, and like el toro, correctly guessed the system. So why not come up with an alternative?

I’m sure there are even better systems, but just off the top of my head, but if everything is ok, send a flare only on the hour or half hour increments. If everything is fine, you can wait 30 minutes. If things blow up. You’d only have to wait a minute before sending up the flare to indicate problems.

Sure there is a 1 in 30 chance that the bad guys will send it up on the hour/half hour, but that is still much better chance than the 1 in 2 chance that they currently used, which as shown isn’t even 1 in 2 as it was obvious to el toro.

Couldn't enjoy season 5

Seasons 1 & 2 were great. Show started becoming progressively bad from season 3. Kinda became a drag in season 5.

Help needed

From S3 onwards, Amazon prime doesn't show subtitles for conversation in Chinese or Japanese,does anyone know a solution to it? Even the subtitles file(.txt) i searched online show blank spaces there... A few times by toggling the subtitles language to my home langauge I was able to see the text but it's just too irritating.. Any better alternative?

Unexpected turns in S2

So I have watched this whole series twice (once during the COVID lockdown,once later) and now again and each time it amazes me to what level of brilliance and perfection the directors thought just amazing loved it! My fav of all time. But season 2 bought a hell lot of unexpected turns, among which the most shocking were death of Rachel,Lt.chung and Ravit... Man damn they didn't have to kill this fellas... Also i didn't understand the conversation in the end S2 ep 13 b/w Rachel and Chandler.

Where is Season 5?

I’m watching on MAX and it stops at season 4. Even Amazon Prime won’t show it.. just says season 5 is “not available in your region”. Anyone know where to find it?

Season 5 ending

I may be very oblivious here but, why did they not renew for S6 if they just left the finale of S5 so widely open for it to continue? Did they ever release a reason or was it just because post S3 views plummeted?

Is it getting better?

I just started watching the show. I absolutely loved seasons one and two. Third season was pretty weak over all. Just started season 4 and I’m like…what is this? Is it getting better or will it continue downhill from here?

Just finished the show and one question about the finale

How come Rhona Mitra, didn't come back to the finale?!!!! I mean Alot of guests appeared in the finale even Tex appeard so why didn't Rachel??! and it's not like the writers didn't have a place for her in the episode cause we literally saw her from her back walking in the ship in the last scene and heard her voice so CLEARLY they had a place for her, the only explanation I have is that there was bad blood between them 😥 , any thoughts?
