Followed of course by the actual missile launch!

Hello, everyone, welcome to the Laaaaast resort.

Oh, that's what the show is about? It's not about the "last ski resort" or the "last golf resort".

So it's a serious show about the US Silent Service and the serious nature of their work?

The show lost me by the opening credits.

1. What would hollywood do w/o CGI?
2. The chick looks like Melissa Gilbert.

Pa, are we at war?

3. OMG, there's a teminator on board! Everybody run!
4. Looks too PC for me.
5. $5 says there will be time travel by episode 5.
6. By episode 6, Hurley, Jack and Kate will be on the sub. Hurely plugs up the head and the show goes into it's second season.

My prediction: So it's Titanic+Crimson Tide+U-571.

Pa, why is everything written in German Pa?

I'm not Pa, I'm John Locke, and this submarine has special powers.

Dude on the left: "So, what do you think will be lower? Our ratings or the Raiders next final score?"

Dude on the right: "Wait, is this the island that has the killer smoke, cuz I didn't sign up for that."

Dude on left: " So what does your character do again in the show?"

Dude on right: "My character is the guy in the motor-pool."

Dude on left" You've seen Star Trek, right?"

Dude on right: "yeah, why?"

Dude on left:" So the Capt'n, exec, and the dude from the motorpool go on a special mission,which character dies?"

Dude on right:

Thanks for the link to watch the first episode before it premieres, gonna watch it at the weekend. I'll give it a try, but I am also someone who masochistically watched Terra Nova every week to see if there would be any developement. - never happened, lol

*lowers expectation bar to ground level*

Hey, at least Terra Nova had Stephen Lang.

...no reactor meltdowns? I'm surprised they didn't throw that in for good measure, because apparently it's an everyday occurrence or something like that. If you go by TV and movies alone.

My face as I read that whole synopsis

I watched this last night, and I must say this is the reason why premium cables shows (Showtime/HBO/AMC) have been winning Emmy's and creating fantastic shows that keep you hooked.

I felt like I was watching the season ender, not the opening season.

Everything in the first episode felt so crammed together. The brief news blurb on the President being under impeachment (why?/howcome?) The calls for nukes to be launched right after the break(wait I get to know the crew only 10 mins and now **** hits the fan?), the prototype on the Sub and the lady who created it(why was it put on the that sub, could we perchance explore that a little deeper instead of rushing on to the NATO forward command site?

They have a lot of potential in terms of understanding how to that sub ended up where it did, but it felt rushed, as if it had to show something crazy before every commercial break.

I feel this was a good plot, ruined by executives because any conspiracy theory show/ especially with false flags, and suchnot would be far better drawn out and explain everything whilst suspense ensues.

In a lot of ways this show reminds me of Prison Break, in the sense that once they resolve the key issue what else is left for the show? Once they stand down or are granted alysum that is; much in the same way that once you break out of prison how much longer can the show go on and retain some quality?
