What was that doctor looking for again? It was kind of confusing. Who attacked the ship?
Was the soldier who killed himself with the other soldier friend of his? The white dude seemed pretty upset and he was given the flag....
I need to watch again and actually pay attention.

I can't imagine why the break-away Russian helicopters (where did they come from? How did they zero in on the scientists) would want to kill the team obviously trying to find a clue and a cure for the epidemic raging world-wide...
Even if you thought they were at FAULT, and CAUSED it, that wouldn't be the right course of action.

Interesting write-up/summary/re-cap of the show.
Still not sure I'm totally in, but I'll probably watch the next episode at least:

I streamed it from the TNT page at lunch. Great show. Especially since it was just the pilot episode. Usually it takes a few show for a show to get going.

I enjoy these mega-apocalyptic adventures a lot, but you have to remember they are really just scaled-down transformer movies. They get all the fx worked up, then they write scripts each week trying to tie them together.
Sometimes things have to happen for no apparent reason just to fill a little time.

In the beginning of the pilot, the ship was supposedly docked in Norfolk, VA.
There was a clear shot of palm trees in the background.

The female Dr. is most definitely a near show killer. She's not old enough to have attained the scientific level she reached and most women who do don't look like they stepped out of a Victoria's Secret catalog. They should have modeled the role after a Star Trek like Dr..

This last episode was absolutely terrible. The first couple were somewhat compelling, but it's not worth sticking with if it stays on this track. The sick jungle people's costuming and makeup was lol hilarious, and the "villain" was embarrassingly cartoonish.

Agree that the scientist woman Rhona Mitra is awful - she's just really unlikable as a person. I think it might be the actress too - not the part.

One of the problems with this show, at least for me, is remembering what happens from week to week. I've started watching it on Optimum OnDemand. I downloaded the Watch TNT app because the 1st two eps were no longer available. It's great as a marathon; I actually like it.
I also like "Murder in the First," another TNT original.

I watch TLS. I want to like it, but I keep thinking that this disease being so virulent is ridiculous. Last week, the British scientist Quincy said something like 98% of South America is wiped out because the virus thrives in warmer temperatures. So wouldn't the far northern reaches of the world still have healthy (healthier) populations?
And aren't there ANY submarines still roaming the oceans? Every single nation with a navy recalled every single ship, thus dooming all of their military? The Russian was the ONLY military officer to disobey orders?
Having said that, the show's well-constructed and is following along with a number of story lines quite well.
I LOVED the way Eric Danes took away Quincy's chess set last week. Excellent way to punish.

Tex is still in the water, he insisted that Danes go first.
That was a very well-done sequence imo: having the Navy people watching what their chopper finds, then cutting to the guys in the water being found by a chopper, and cutting back and forth a few times before we're finally told that it's not the Americans' chopper that's picked up the guys to maximize the "oh shit" moment.
This show isn't spectacular, and there's plenty of lame cliches to be found, but I still enjoy it enough to keep watching.

I don't understand how the Nathan James crew got on to the Russian vessel. They approach in the small boat with an outboard motor roaring, pull up along side, somehow get on to the deck and then have run of parts of the ship? HOW???
It was suspenseful, I appreciated how the scientist's presence on the Russian vessel was explained. So he weaponized the virus. I thought the doctor was going to shoot him after killing the Russian.
So that idiot Quincy gets a tearful reunion with his family. I hope the wife finds out how he colluded with the Russians and almost got everyone killed at Gitmo.
I can't wait for the Russians to return! That captain's going to be a complete nutjob at that point!
Who's taking bets that the doctor and the XO will hook-up at some point?

"TNT has renewed three of its chart-topping summer hits: The Last Ship, Major Crimes and Falling Skies.
The Last Ship is a blockbuster hit in its first season, not only among total viewers but also among key adult demos. The action-packed drama from executive producer Michael Bay has averaged more than 7.2 million viewers in Live + 7 delivery in its first season and currently ranks as basic cable's #1 scripted series this summer with adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. The show is also cable's #1 new series for the year-to-date among total viewers and adults 25-54."

I agree completely, The Last Ship is mediocre and Falling Skies is just plain awful. Nonetheless, Ship will return for 13 episodes next summer (up from 10 this year) and Skies will be back for a final season of 10 episodes.

God, this is as bad as a show can get.
Danny should have been relieved of his responsibilities when he has a breakdown in episode 3 when some of his team bites it. The Captain ought to also be relieved when he puts Danny in charge of some away party after said breakdown. And the Captain shouldn't be going on away-parties, leave that to Captain Kirk. Also, everybody seems to get to question the Captain's orders, in public, which is crazy, too. Also, the Texan they picked-up in Cuba seems to have become one of the senior staff, why exactly? No reason, that's why. Ugh.
Too bad, it's got a timely theme, with the Ebola and all.
