I've watched the first three episodes and I like it. I don't know if Navy protocol is being followed in the movie but all in all it is entertaining. Some parts are a bit overdone (the Russian commander) but not so much as to spoil the story. Anybody else following it?
The other thread on The Strain is also not too bad but I think I prefer The Last Ship.

I keep thinking "Star Trek" when I watch this. Not sure it's a valid comparison, but that's what it seems like to me.
 
it's well written, and i like how they try to keep within protocol, but cannot due to the situation. i've enjoyed the first 3 episodes, watching the 4th right now.

Motion carried.

The storyline has LOTS of possibilities. Acting and direction are very good. The writing is very well done, as well. I haven't seen anything that put me off at all.
 
It has the Hero of Canton in it. It must be good.

I was really enjoying the show until one of the young female African-American officers revealed she was gay. I really don't care about a person's sexual preference. It's none of my business, but I hate having things shoved in my face like that. That, and the indecisiveness and lack of aggression displayed by the Captain have really dampened my interest in the show.

I agree, there is lots on the tube on Sunday nights, I'll just be watching something else.

Regards,

Just started watching it recently. Interesting scenario what with being the last naval warship, plague, and trying to survive and find a possible cure. Course Rhona Mitra the actress that plays the english doc is a hottie. Frank

I read the book many years ago...although the book and the TV show have very little in common. But having said that, I'm enjoying the TV show also. It's been a long time since I bothered to keep track of anything on TV to even know when it comes on, but TLS is one I made a point of watching from the start.

Afterthought: The TV show actually has more possibilities. The book is along the lines of "On the Beach" and is somewhat more depressing. The senario in the TV show at least has hope.

I watched the first one,thought it was ok,then last nite tried to watch it,to hokey for me.........the capt and x.o would never leave the ship together and like gillagans Is. they keep coming up with whatever they need...full gas suits,tranquilizer guns,speed boats ( 2 )....maybe they picked it all up in earlier shows I missed.Really all I watch is sports,news and non-fiction educational shows.
 
The last ship

Great show, my wife and I watched it from the beginning. I hope it will not conflict with the walking dead, on the same time frame, in August on another channel. I agree with the Captain and XO leaving the ship together as I said the same thing to my wife last night when we were watching it. Another great show is Extant with Jennifer Lopez. We watched it from the beginning and so far it has us entrigued on how a lone astronaut in space for a year can become pregnant. Time will tell.

I think Extant has Halle Berry who beats JLo to pieces. I didn't know that it had already started.
 
I like it for TV entertainment. It's on my DVR.

TNT is really doing better programing than the Big networks.

I like Rizzoli & Isles. Major Crimes has been well written from day one (when Brenda was in charge). Falling Skies makes me want to fast forward to the end (I never liked scary monsters).

"BOOM";)

I was a big fan of The Closer which morphed into Major Crimes. Still like it.

The Last Ship is good but i am afraid it will turn out like LOST. I mean were can the whole story go or end?? The premise is kinda weak also. So this ship and the Russian one are the only ones that survived?? No Subs??

I enjoyed Lots of good old movies like On the Beach
 
Not a bad show but my question is when do they find the "Last Gas Station" for the Last Ship? I guess have a nuke destroyer would have ruined the story line.
 
My wife and I have been watching from the beginning and enjoying it. See some occasional things that are not plausible but, hey, it's Hollywood and you find those in every show. It's been pretty good entertainment so far for Sunday evenings that are truly dead without the Walking Dead.
