I thought it was a great show. Fishy orders to nuke Pakistan, Pakistan gets nuked twice, Navy seals with alternate orders.

Could be the best new show.

Enjoyed it & will be watching. One question...why wasn't the Colorado's missile (that landed near D.C.) shot down?

Navy SEALs in Pakistan saying ‘they got the wrong guy’ and a cover-up. Of course, it makes the SEALs look like the bad guys (at least so far). Hinting of a political based impeachment of a popular president. Interesting to see where this goes and the message they try to send.

It has potential, but never underestimate Hollywood’s capability to take a good program and turn it into crap.

I am not sure the premise will hold. Apparently, something big is going on, but even that Senator (whose daughter was on the sub) seemed to be unaware of anything until armed military show up to take him into custody.

Unless and until they identify the villain, the rogue sub and crew are just that — rogue. The Captain did disobey a direct order.

Didn't watch it but I love this kind of stuff. I liked Jericho, but it got to be a little more like a 'guy soap opera' than apocalyptic fiction. I LOVE the Walking Dead, 'tis amazing to see Rick Grimes descent into inhumanity.

I think a good show does not need writers, it needs 'interpreters' of an existing and good story arc, like T.W.D.

Without commercial interruption. Link good today, no promises.

'Last Resort' Review: 'Shield' Producer Presents Captivating 'What If?' Navy Drama

---

by Zachary Leeman 27 Sep 2012

We live in a world gone mad. Everyday we hear on the news about unrest in the Middle East, unrest here at home and how we are always on the brink of another war. The new ABC series "Last Resort" puts itself in the middle of this current reality and sets up a "what if?" scenario that is brought off with style and realism.

ABC has released the show's first episode online, but audiences can watch it the old fashioned way at 8 p.m. EST tonight.

Shawn Ryan ("Terriers," "The Shield") produces and co-writes the first episode, and Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale") takes on directing duties. Veteran actors Andre Braugher and Robert Patrick along with Scott Speedman headline the cast.

There is so much wrong with the show:

PC happy portrayal of women on subs
Depicts SEALS as savage, Rambo-types
NATO now has observation posts in the Pacific?..World wide government propaganda...NATO are the good guys..US military are bad..a conspiracy to have a false LAUNCH order sent, and then, on top of it...to signal another US sub to take out a sister boat...there is soooo much wrong with that..so completely improbable
Oh yeah, the missile that the US sub launches from waay down under is over DC in 3 minutes?..Hello?
The bombers are 10 minutes out when detected..yet the captain and crew manage to get back to the boat, from a far distance...and sumberge, and launch...and of course..you can't dive..let alone launch missile, from a lagoon..

I could go on..but why bother..it's pure crapola..hope it gets cancelled in a few weeks..

Oops. I thought this was a story by ABC about Obama’s new Hawaiian Home. (I don’t watch TV)

Despite the problems I liked it overall. Granted the last 15 minutes I was on the phone way off and was seeing on screen. I didn’t catch the part about the bombers being close and apparently how fast that sub could get out and deploy.
