ABC's the Last Resort: Really brings the crazy

I like how they show all the subs sailing around within 100 feet of each other, that means they are fighting.

Best line of the episode: "I know you can see our doors are open with your satellites."

That cracked me up too. Maybe they were getting in range to use grapeshot.

EDIT: What what I found ridiculous was the whole emergency blow thing. The boat is at flank with a 30-degree up angle and she orders emergency blow. She then orders the blow 'reversed' and the boat magically ends up stationary at launch depth without broaching. That Ohio handles like a sports car.

God help me...it's crossed the Atlantic! Saw an advert for it on Sky yesterday.

"Man Battle stations for Anti-submarine warfare!"

You guys may be knocking it, but I notice your watching it too

Getting way better with the Admiral taking out the female negotionater to save his daughter on the conn of the USS Colorado and after she saves the boat the crew salutes her.

Good acting, good writing, very enjoyable to this old salt ...

Hope the captain gets his day in court ...

If I was on the other crew that stayed behind (Gold or Blue crew)
I would find a way to get to that island and back them up on sonar

Yeah, I'm watching it, it's always good for a few laughs.

Same here. I'm having a good time pointing out the gaffes.
