I completely forgot about this show and noticed I had 2 episodes on DVR not watched. I think my decision on continuing to care or watch The Last Ship has been made for me =P
I'll often pause a show I'm watching so I can go to IMDB.com to see who an actor is. If I don't, I spend too much time trying to figure out who it is instead of concentrating on the show I'm watching.
Anyone else notice the 2 chords that were lifted from Bay's Pearl Harbor? Listen at 1:06:34 in the spy photo scene. In The Last Ship they are played frequently to build tension.
So Vellek was another really smart guy that went crazy. I actually enjoyed the season for the most part. The teaser for season 5 already has me looking forward to it.
That was a pretty good two hours of television. I really enjoyed this season. The writing and the cast were very good. The sneak peek for season 5 did look intriguing. It looked like Chandler was the skipper of the Nathan James again. I would imagine that will be explained in the first episode, along with the new mini-armada of Burke class destroyers.
I noticed that Chandler went from a four stripe Captain to a 4 star Admiral for next season. Since Admirals don't command ships in normal circumstances, I suspect he's going to be the squadron commander for this new group of ships.
Also noticed that the towed explosive hit the bow of the ship when it went off but the long shot showed the ship blowing up amidship.
That was only one of the many technical mistakes in the episode. The appearance & shape of the hull was all wrong too. The M242 Bushmaster cannon which they were shooting the gunners on the final Greek ship with shoots 25mm rounds which would pretty much disintegrate someone if they were shot with one.
If you're going to nitpick technical details the show's a goldmine, but it's cheesy TV. You've got to overlook it and enjoy the popcorn.
I enjoy the show, but I hope Adam Baldwin's XO Mike Slattery dies at the hands of an unhinged teenage American shooter with an AR-15 during the final season.
Both things can be true. And are. I loved him in 'Firefly'. Once I found out about his personal views, that didn't make me love his performance or the show any less. Him personally, however...
I'm sure we're on the verge of getting beaten up by a moderator over this, I try to totally avoid the politics of actors and actresses (uh oh, I went there....) because I don't wan their personal politics and beliefs to ruion my image of them in their roles. But to suggest a story line, a violent one at that, because of someone's personal political beliefs? NOT COOL. Doesn't matter what side of the coin you're on. Sorry if I'm misinterpreting, which is entirely possible, but I can't let that go.
Anyway, love the show, looking forward to the next season!
The Last Ship to End After Season 5
By Ryan Schwartz, TVLine.com - May 16, 2018
The Last Ship is being permanently docked. The TNT drama will conclude at the end of its upcoming fifth season, our sister site Deadline reports.
Rumors of The Last Ship‘s demise first began circulating back in Sept. 2017, when cast member Travis Van Winkle, who plays Danny Green, announced “a series wrap” in an Instagram post that was later deleted. In response, TNT released a statement, which read, “We shot two seasons simultaneously; the fourth is currently on the air and the fifth will return next summer. We greenlit the fifth with the idea that it could be the final season, however it’s far too early to make that determination.” But now it’s official.
A premiere date for Season 5 has not yet been announced.
I'd agree it's been pretty good from the get go .. 5 seasons is a good run .. I'd like to see Netflix develop something along the same lines ..
Naval Drama is a sorely underrepresented genre ..
