I like the show.
But sometimes I laugh.
Commanders taking the lead on dangerous missions—while the spec ops guys sit back on the ship.
Hazmat procedures are just horrible (based on my Paramedic/Hazmat trained daughter.)
The best thing I saw last night is that they ran out of fuel. At least that was real. But hacking a keyhole? I dont think so.
All in all, its OK. My wife likes it because McSteamy is the Skipper.
And its a good lead in to the laugh out loud funny Falling Skies.
Too bad I have to watch Ray Donavon at 9 and LS at 11.
Hubby and I like this show, too; but, he also has complained about that very thing. I call it "Captain Kirk Syndrome".
Like in Star Trek where the top officers are sent to dangerous away missions. What are the other 120 guys on the ship for?
And so much for ship security, being taken over by a bunch of ex state police.
It's a TV show - you need to give your lead actors quantity and quality of screen time. Sometimes reality has to take a back seat to the narrative format.
