when they first meet the russian ship they 'sneak' away.

Aight, but how is a piece of tinfoil picked up by the enemy radar but the giant ship is not? Sure they turn of their electronics and radar but...the tinfoil doesnt have any of that either?

And when they blow up the ship with the little boat, they send out a boat to recover them... recover them where? The enemy didnt see that tiny boat on radar? They saw the one from the beach.

this show is pretty cool I like the dog

I'm sure it's been discussed many times, but I'm on my 11th rewatch and I just can't get over it. What Rachel did to Niels was just so wrong. Captain Chandler was right to bring charges against her. What was she thinking? I mean, Niels died way way too fast! 😂

Okay so I’ve just finished season two, watching for the first time, and I was HOOKED. But as soon as Dr Scott died, they lost me. Does it get better? I’m 4 episodes into season 3 and I’m so bored with the way this story is going 🙈 Should I hang in there?

Anyone figured out where to watch season 5 in the US? Amazon prime is detecting vpns so I can't do that

Is it just me or are the regional leaders and people driving the coup written like cartoon villains? It's really hard to take them seriously.

Also I can't believe how many chances they had to kill that blonde psychopath and end it, but just didn't for random nonsensical reasons.

Imagine - create your captain, select basic crew and armament. Explore the world, train your crew, upgrade and repair the ship, send rhibs and helo out for supplies, explore a randomly generated world. Fight more difficult enemies and face more severe conditions deeper you go. Any indie devs who want to make an idler roguelike game like this feel free to take this idea😂

Hi! Does anyone know of a book that's similar to the show? I know it's all based on the novel by William Brinkley, but that one doesn't have the pandemic angle or scientists on board.

What I'm looking for is - navy ship, some scientists on it, and a problem that warrants their presence on the ship. (and maybe a book that lacks all the weird "oh my, females on the ship, how unsettling" mentality that the last ship book has)

Thanks in advance!

You have a huge ship with a galley. Seems like instead of nearly running out of water in an early season one episode, they could have made the seawater drinkable. Don't you just boil the salt out of it?

I’m on season 2 episode 9 and this may have been asked already but why don’t they ever encrypt their communications. They couldn’t hear in on the immune cult submarine because it was encrypted but they always go silent and stay off communication because they say people might be listening and then they’re on this battle scene and this random teenager just tunes into their frequency and can hear everything. I don’t know a lot about this kind of stuff but it seems odd to me.

SO IM A NEW WATCHER OF THIS SHOW, I KNOW IM LIKE FIVE YEARS LATE SINCE THE WHOLE SERIES ENDED, BUT JESUS I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS! :(

I JUST FINISHED THE SEASON 2 AND STARTED SEASON 3 EP 1 AND WTF IS THIS? :( :( HOW COULD RACHEL SERIOUSLY HAVE DIED LIKE THAT? I CALL BULLSHIT! OTHER CHARACTERS HAVE SURVIVED FAR WORSE. BUT THE MAIN BULLSHIT IS THAT CHANDLER HAD ONLY JUST LEFT THE HALLWAY LIKE 1 MINUTE AGO, AND IT WAS UPSTAIRS FROM THE MAIN PARTY IN THE SAME BUILDING, SO HE SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE GUNSHOT AND GONE RUNNING BACK UPSTAIRS TO SAVE HER. AND EVERYONE ELSE, TOO. HE WOULD HAVE PUT PRESSURE ON HER WOUND AND THEY HAD DOCTORS RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS!

IT'S. BULLSHIT. THAT SHE COULD HAVE DIED THAT WAY!

THAT'S WHY THEY CLEARLY HAD TO SKIP 4 MONTHS BECAUSE THEY KNEW IF THEY PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD THERE WAS NO PLAUSIBLE WAY TO MAKE THAT SITUATION WORK! IF IT WAS ANY OTHER EPISODE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN PATCHED UP AND BACK ON HER FEET BY THE END CREDITS, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO GOT SHOT OR BLOWN UP BEFORE!

THAT ONE COSETTE GUY TOOK A FULL ON SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHEST BEFORE AND WAS JUST FINE BECAUSE HE WORE A FRIGGING VEST!

THAT WAS THE MOST PLOT CONVENIENT RAILRAODY STUPIDITY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN NETWORK TELEVISION. AND I'VE SEEN A LOT!

I never did finish the series back when it came out so just started season 5 to see them kill off multiple main characters. Seriously???? Not happy.

I just realized there were multiple fighter jets that survived the harbor attack. But were never seen again. Theyd be pretty useful later on. Whyd we never see them again?

I'll go first.

Favourite: Mike and MasterChief.

Least favourite: the guy who killed Rachel (don't even remember his name) and Vellek.

Does anyone know how or why Chandler ended up in Greece after season 3?

Anyone know of a current way to get season 5? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Are VPNs working to watch on Amazon?

the plot for both those seasons made no sense, the antagonist arc was pretty shit and overall the execution was pretty bad.

kinda let down after good S1-3, S4-5 were just plain underwhelming.

When they were getting closer to the island, why couldn’t they have sent the helicopter or a RIB ahead for fresh water?

[Opening scene: The USS Nathan James sails through choppy waters, the crew on high alert. President Donald Trump steps onto the deck, wearing a naval uniform adorned with a ridiculously large captain's hat.]

Captain Chandler: [addressing the crew] Attention, everyone! We are embarking on a mission of utmost importance – to reclaim our nation from those who seek to undermine it. President Trump has joined our ranks to assist in this endeavor, and together, we will restore democracy and uphold the values that define us as Americans.

President Trump: That's right, folks. Sleepy Joe and his cohorts may have tried to steal this election, but we won't stand for it. It's time to show them the strength and resilience of the American people!

[The crew listens intently, a sense of determination filling the air as Trump's words resonate with them.]

Navigator Burk: Sir, our intel suggests the enemy stronghold is heavily fortified. They've got sophisticated defenses and are prepared for a fight.

Captain Chandler: Then we'll meet them head-on! We've faced tough challenges before, but united as one, there's nothing we can't overcome. President Trump, we stand with you in this fight.

President Trump: Thank you, Captain. With your leadership and the unwavering dedication of this crew, there's no obstacle too great. Prepare the troops, and let's reclaim our nation's future!

[The crew springs into action, fueled by a newfound sense of purpose. The USS Nathan James charges forward, ready to confront the enemy.]

Lt. Granderson: Sir, they're gaining on us! We need a plan!

President Trump: Don't worry, Lieutenant. We've got the best plan. We're going to fight for the integrity of our elections and the future of our great nation.

[Crew members exchange determined glances, their resolve steeling them against the impending battle.]

Captain Chandler: We stand united as defenders of democracy, guardians of liberty. Let's show them the strength and courage of the USS Nathan James!

[The crew cheers, inspired by Captain Chandler's rallying cry. With determination in their hearts, they face the enemy, ready to fight for what they believe in.]

Lt. Green: Sir, we're getting a message from the enemy. They say surrender is our only option.

President Trump: Surrender? Never! We don't back down, we stand tall! And when we stand together, we are unstoppable!

[The crew rallies behind President Trump, unleashing a relentless barrage that overwhelms the enemy forces.]

Captain Chandler: We did it! The enemy is retreating!

President Trump: Of course we did it! Together, we've proven that the American spirit cannot be defeated. Now, let's set course for victory and reclaim our nation's destiny!

[The crew cheers, their spirits soaring as they sail forward, guided by the beacon of freedom and democracy. The USS Nathan James stands as a symbol of hope in the face of adversity.]

[Closing credits roll with patriotic music playing in the background.]

[End scene.]

Why didn’t Tex (army green beret) go into the jungle looking for monkeys? Like the show but that didn’t make sense to me.

Finally got around to watching the show and while it's silly in nature, it's worthwhile TV and it's not similar to anything else so it's got that going for it.

​

My only question so far is why wouldn't the US immediately join with our nations regarding research on what appears to be a planet wide epidemic? Was the primordial strain just a sample of the ice? If this is something discussed or covered in the show, no spoilers please and thanks. I'll still watch it anyways.
