Not encouraging, nor discouraging, and everything I say in this message is alleged, but I am sure a certain bay, may be able to accomidate you if you are unable to watch in the conventional ways.

Not that I know what I am talking about, or encouraging anything, just saying.

Yeah, Yeah, I know...that bit of the brain doesn't disengage...my wife has taken to threatening me with violence whenever I start to take a movie apart...

I can't. I once watched U-571 with a bunch of friends, I started to annoy them after a while picking the details apart. I felt like Captain Slow describing the function of a Camshaft to Jeremy Clarkson.

I remember this one girlfriend I had not too long ago. I used to watch Katherine Heigl movies with her and within 15 minutes I'd guess the entire story arc and the ending and she'd get angry at me.

Nevermind, not gonna waste my time with this one. Too much like Crimson Tide, and I loathed Crimson Tide.

Although obviously, one can become a Q-ship if one uses the correct flags...so to speak...

Oh, I'm glad it's not just me. I got a punch in the arm from the wife whilst watching the latest Robin Hood film. When the 'wooden' Higgins boats landed on the beach I really couldn't help myself and shouted out "AUF MICH ZUUUU DIRECKT!!" ( ). I received a punch in the arm shortly afterwards...

Looks interesting. I'm just glad there's at least one modern naval TV drama coming out. Definitely going to see it.

EDIT: Oh, snap! Robert Patrick is the COB? That's it. I'm hooked.

Oh there is other bays! Unless the UK has gone full China (Orwellian)

I won't tell you which ones, that would be outright collusion.

And my sense of morals can never permit such profligacy.

They're working on it, believe me...

Just had a feeling that the main villain is the evil shadow organization who control America.

Just calling it.

And while we "know" that the UUM-125B was cancelled, 'silent service' weapons programs tend to do a much better job of being kept secret than other services...could UUM-125B have been cancelled because a BGM-109 variant was deployed that carried a Mk 46?

(I mean, yeah, realistically, it's a goof, but, hey, there COULD be a Mk 46-toting BGM-109...)

Oh, man! I was so pumped up for that movie, and then WHAM! Battleship, I am disappoint.

I'm just desperate for any modern naval screentime. I'm really waiting to see what TNT does with that "Last Ship" show.
