A new show on ABC, it chronicles the trials and tribulations of the USS Colorado, a nuclear submarine that receives the order to nuke Pakistan, but the Captain and his XO have reason to question their orders. As confirmation, they receive a Tomahawk to the face. Then they commandeer a small island.



This show is all kinds of awesome.
Andre Braugher, who I didn't know before this, plays the Captain of the boat. Scott Speedman plays the XO.

You should watch it immediately, if you have the chance.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

it wasnt bad. but i get the feeling the plot will diverge away from submarines and nuclear warfare with time and will degrade into something like lost. but for now its another show to watch.

I watched the first episode and it does seem very promising. Will watch more.

seems to me this would be a better movie than a TV show.  i don't know how long they are going to be able to stretch it for.

Well, if it only went for one season then that won't be so bad, although TV producers just don't think like that.

it seems the only options anymore for TV series are to get cancelled after a few episodes instead of making it a whole season, or be kept alive far past the point they should be until what was a good series dies a horrible, gurgling death.  episodic type shows are really the only ones that endure.  i hope this one doesn't go to ****.  2-3 seasons with a good closer would be nice. 

i should note, i'm talking network prime-time here, not all the obscure **** everyone here watches :P

Last Resort is scheduled for a 13-episode run. I suppose that means that the makers have a plan that works in that format.

Something like American Horror Story had a good idea. Do a single season arc, close it off and then, if your show get renewed, do another, separate arc with (maybe) a few of the same characters. Admittedly, not something that can be made to work for all shows, but it's a good system where it works.

Just discovered it's free to watch on Hulu, with ads of course. 

...or is that just for US folks?

I'm always leery of that, after I discovered how badly CBS screws you on it, but we'll see.
