I’m on season 2 episode 9 and this may have been asked already but why don’t they ever encrypt their communications. They couldn’t hear in on the immune cult submarine because it was encrypted but they always go silent and stay off communication because they say people might be listening and then they’re on this battle scene and this random teenager just tunes into their frequency and can hear everything. I don’t know a lot about this kind of stuff but it seems odd to me.

SO IM A NEW WATCHER OF THIS SHOW, I KNOW IM LIKE FIVE YEARS LATE SINCE THE WHOLE SERIES ENDED, BUT JESUS I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS! :(

I JUST FINISHED THE SEASON 2 AND STARTED SEASON 3 EP 1 AND WTF IS THIS? :( :( HOW COULD RACHEL SERIOUSLY HAVE DIED LIKE THAT? I CALL BULLSHIT! OTHER CHARACTERS HAVE SURVIVED FAR WORSE. BUT THE MAIN BULLSHIT IS THAT CHANDLER HAD ONLY JUST LEFT THE HALLWAY LIKE 1 MINUTE AGO, AND IT WAS UPSTAIRS FROM THE MAIN PARTY IN THE SAME BUILDING, SO HE SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE GUNSHOT AND GONE RUNNING BACK UPSTAIRS TO SAVE HER. AND EVERYONE ELSE, TOO. HE WOULD HAVE PUT PRESSURE ON HER WOUND AND THEY HAD DOCTORS RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS!

IT'S. BULLSHIT. THAT SHE COULD HAVE DIED THAT WAY!

THAT'S WHY THEY CLEARLY HAD TO SKIP 4 MONTHS BECAUSE THEY KNEW IF THEY PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD THERE WAS NO PLAUSIBLE WAY TO MAKE THAT SITUATION WORK! IF IT WAS ANY OTHER EPISODE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PATCHED UP AND BACK ON HER FEET BY THE END CREDITS, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO GOT SHOT OR BLOWN UP BEFORE!

THAT ONE COSETTE GUY TOOK A FULL ON SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHEST BEFORE AND WAS JUST FINE BECAUSE HE WORE A FRIGGING VEST!

THAT WAS THE MOST PLOT CONVENIENT RAILRAODY STUPIDITY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN NETWORK TELEVISION. AND I'VE SEEN A LOT!

I never did finish the series back when it came out so just started season 5 to see them kill off multiple main characters. Seriously???? Not happy.

I just realized there were multiple fighter jets that survived the harbor attack. But were never seen again. Theyd be pretty useful later on. Whyd we never see them again?

I'll go first.

Favourite: Mike and MasterChief.

Least favourite: the guy who killed Rachel (don't even remember his name) and Vellek.

Does anyone know how or why Chandler ended up in Greece after season 3?

Anyone know of a current way to get season 5? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Are VPNs working to watch on Amazon?

the plot for both those seasons made no sense, the antagonist arc was pretty shit and overall the execution was pretty bad.

kinda let down after good S1-3, S4-5 were just plain underwhelming.

When they were getting closer to the island, why couldn’t they have sent the helicopter or a RIB ahead for fresh water?

[Opening scene: The USS Nathan James sails through choppy waters, the crew on high alert. President Donald Trump steps onto the deck, wearing a naval uniform adorned with a ridiculously large captain's hat.]

Captain Chandler: [addressing the crew] Attention, everyone! We are embarking on a mission of utmost importance – to reclaim our nation from those who seek to undermine it. President Trump has joined our ranks to assist in this endeavor, and together, we will restore democracy and uphold the values that define us as Americans.

President Trump: That's right, folks. Sleepy Joe and his cohorts may have tried to steal this election, but we won't stand for it. It's time to show them the strength and resilience of the American people!

[The crew listens intently, a sense of determination filling the air as Trump's words resonate with them.]

Navigator Burk: Sir, our intel suggests the enemy stronghold is heavily fortified. They've got sophisticated defenses and are prepared for a fight.

Captain Chandler: Then we'll meet them head-on! We've faced tough challenges before, but united as one, there's nothing we can't overcome. President Trump, we stand with you in this fight.

President Trump: Thank you, Captain. With your leadership and the unwavering dedication of this crew, there's no obstacle too great. Prepare the troops, and let's reclaim our nation's future!

[The crew springs into action, fueled by a newfound sense of purpose. The USS Nathan James charges forward, ready to confront the enemy.]

Lt. Granderson: Sir, they're gaining on us! We need a plan!

President Trump: Don't worry, Lieutenant. We've got the best plan. We're going to fight for the integrity of our elections and the future of our great nation.

[Crew members exchange determined glances, their resolve steeling them against the impending battle.]

Captain Chandler: We stand united as defenders of democracy, guardians of liberty. Let's show them the strength and courage of the USS Nathan James!

[The crew cheers, inspired by Captain Chandler's rallying cry. With determination in their hearts, they face the enemy, ready to fight for what they believe in.]

Lt. Green: Sir, we're getting a message from the enemy. They say surrender is our only option.

President Trump: Surrender? Never! We don't back down, we stand tall! And when we stand together, we are unstoppable!

[The crew rallies behind President Trump, unleashing a relentless barrage that overwhelms the enemy forces.]

Captain Chandler: We did it! The enemy is retreating!

President Trump: Of course we did it! Together, we've proven that the American spirit cannot be defeated. Now, let's set course for victory and reclaim our nation's destiny!

[The crew cheers, their spirits soaring as they sail forward, guided by the beacon of freedom and democracy. The USS Nathan James stands as a symbol of hope in the face of adversity.]

[Closing credits roll with patriotic music playing in the background.]

[End scene.]

Why didn’t Tex (army green beret) go into the jungle looking for monkeys? Like the show but that didn’t make sense to me.

Finally got around to watching the show and while it's silly in nature, it's worthwhile TV and it's not similar to anything else so it's got that going for it.

​

My only question so far is why wouldn't the US immediately join with our nations regarding research on what appears to be a planet wide epidemic? Was the primordial strain just a sample of the ice? If this is something discussed or covered in the show, no spoilers please and thanks. I'll still watch it anyways.

I can’t watch season 5 anywhere. Is it being streamed on cable and that’s why it’s unavailable on prime video?

S03E12 when she runs to the water, he pulls her out and lets her go. Then I swear he goes back in to cop a feel.

I understand that sometimes shows have to limit on screen action due to budget and such but they feel so underwhelming. Would have been so nice to see more of the scenes where the Nathan James was trying to counter the Russian cruiser or the sub. They're some of the best scenes in my opinion where both sides are trying to outplay the other, having the final scenes for the Russian cruiser being a "sneak on and plant bombs" thing felt so underwhelming especially considering how much the prior episodes made Ruskov look like intelligent and capable as a commander, then he's outsmarted by a RHIB, it just didn't make sense to me - I think he should have been Chandler's foil.

I'm no military strategist, just enjoy the show so if what I'm saying makes no sense in a navel warfare sense I'm sorry.

So, I went and watched this show ages ago, and never really put much thought into the events of the show, but after re-watching it, I can't help but feel like I'm noticing things that don't make sense to me, and the largest thing that doesn't make sense to me is the battle between the Nathan James and the three Greek frigates in Episode 9. Over the course of the episode, one is destroyed through other means, and the second is destroyed with a torpedo. Then the third, after knowing it was now alone and by itself, decides the best course of action is to 1v1 an Arleigh Burke in a shitty Greek frigate with a displacement far below 4,000 tons.

Is there some reason behind this? Or just subpar writing?

Re-watching this, my senses are screaming to me that an Arleigh Burke could easily have taken on two of them at once, maybe even all three due to the sheer difference in tonnage, weaponry, crew, and experience. Only even a season prior, I remember a scene where the crew was discussing taking on three Chinese destroyers all at once only a season prior, but now they won't even entertain fighting three much smaller less capable ships. Even if the Hydra-class Frigates they were up against did actually win the engagement, I'm doubtful it wouldn't have been without most of them being destroyed in the process. Yet, it feels like the show tries to portray that these ships are on par with the Nathan James when that's clearly not the case.

Not sure how I missed this when it was happening… it would’ve been right up my alley when it was brand new, still is actually. Season 1 was good - a lot of ideas, rushed a bit, or limited by the number of episodes they had to tell the story. 2nd season has been even better… looking forward to the 3rd/4th.

Regarding S4 I’m not sure if I have understood correctly, but but is “Nolan” (Gunner from sunshine) Kathleen?

Personally I would like to see other countries emergency services like the British Police in London at each point of the outbreak, so when the first person gets the virus, then more people get ill, riots starts, then the officers start becoming survivors finally they help distribute the cure and hep with the rebuilding process of the country.

So what would you like to see if there was a spin off?

Alright, after my 30th watch, I gotta find a new show

Similar shows I've watched and liked and felt like it was a similar vibe Designated Survivor, Reacher, SEAL Team.

Would love to hear some recs

Searched this sub and found 1 other thread and rec'ed BSG and Expanse which I don't feel like is really on the same vein. Also saw recs for The 100 and Jericho, which I already seen

I tried Amazon prime has 4 season available for purchase but for season 5 it says unavailable. HBO MAX has 4 seasons available. Hulu doesn't have the show at all. Same with Netflix.

Why is that. HBO Max should've had all 5 seasons. Doesn't make sense. TNT and HBO Max are owned by the same company.

Season 1 and 2 were amazing but they could've extended it. the red rust doesn't make sense and feels like it doesn't fit.

They should've made the virus mutate faster. The last season should've been about the different regional powers/warlords vs USA. The series finale should've been the inauguration of the president and complete rebuild of the entire USA.

The show was amazing. But it would've been a classic had it gone that way tbh

He should've just put the gun down and slapped her around a bit. I know, they won't show a grown man beating a woman but would've been pretty cool. Plus, the moral compass would've been present.

I am a sailor, US Navy,

I'm doing a rewatch of this as I watched it thru the first time

Join me?

Ok, who, in your opinion, is the best looking woman in this show? Explain. OK, to include Ashley, as she is 18 at the end. I will start. Sasha.
