ABC's the Last Resort: Really brings the crazy - Page 2

...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.

*Reads spoilers.*

What the? FFFUUU-

Anyway, that scene where the X.O. is getting it on with an LT... One question remains: Is it fappable?

Last Resort or U-571? How bad can it be?

jtm55 · 09-13-12, 04:52 PM

Unbelievable!

As a former active duty submariner, I find the whole premise disturbing. I am suprised that the military is not raising hell over the whole show.

It would not be a officer or two who goes rogue. It is the WHOLE DAMN CREW. EVERY crewmwmber would have to be involved. One, two, or even ALL the officers going rogue could not cause this to happen.

I was ex-enlisted and if I even THOUGHT that there was a breakdown in the chain of command I would question EVERY command that was given me involving the SSBM's.

With the appearant breakdown there would be so many enlisted people who could stop the evolution it is not funny.

Even as a nuke I could stop it just by opening a couple of circuit breakers in the engineroom. I could shut down control, MCC, you name it, it would be de-energized and dead electrically. Some of that gear does not like rapid power transients like you could induce by cycling a circuit breaker 10 times rapidly.

If I wanted to, heck, I could melt the plant down with a few switches and open a few valves. It is not as hard as you think if you know the plant. I shocked more than one person when asked how I could do it and it could be done with just 7 switches. They just never realized that switch lineup could bypass so much reactor protection. Granted, it would take some time and active participation to do it but it was EASY to do if you HAD to.

Lets see you launch a nuke now buddy when the plant melts down.

I am ONE crewman. There are 100+ more who could damage, disrupt evolutions, or even SINK the boat.

Damn show is as bad as 'Supercarrier' where the enlisted guys are dismissed as idiots and blind order-takers.

The one thing I did find humourous was the guy sitting in the bar watching the SSBM light off after it broaches the surface and makes the offhand remark "That's not good". At least I had good laugh.

On the other hand, "Generation Kill" had the enlisted men as geniuses and the officers are morons (except for that one platoon commander). Only difference was that "Generation Kill" was a good show. Well, if this doesn't fare well, at least there's "The Last Ship" to look forward to.

Looks like there will be an episode 2 and onward...
Kinda makes you agree with the crew/captain... Like he said at the end:
"what happened to the nation I grew up in?"

Anybody have a link to this crap?, i'm just curious but the yahoo link is not available in my country

Catfish · 09-14-12, 01:40 PM

Right film at the right time to make friends in Pakistan

I cannot see it here either, the internet is being heavily censored by countries recently, even for this kind of .. well ..

But some is here, just can't say whether it is the same content as Neal's link:

Now some former U-boat men said that "Das Boot" was unrealistic

Yahoo is the problem not the censorship, i never get to watch any movie on Yahoo, been a member for 17 years but does that give me anything in terms of service for being a member for so long? Nope...

Thanks for the link i will watch it when i have the stumach for a bad movie, right now it's 'old warmovies' time, i'm in the mood for The Great Escape

Play this while you watch it, makes it way better.

This production is freaking hilarious!

Rip · 09-15-12, 12:34 AM

The basic premise that a submarine CO can just tell fire control to target the weapons to where he wants is laughable. Launch codes are provided and the sub has no way of knowing independently what the target is or of changing it.

Do they think the people that control nuclear launches are stupid or something? Do you think that they would allow it to be possible to hijack an SSBN and just have access to launching nucs on whoever you want?

Now I am not about to go into details about how such things are done but I will say the basic premise is crazy town lunacy.

Kloef · 09-16-12, 08:48 AM

Right, watched this for 5 seconds and it was more than enough
