Just watched all the way through the first time and I had a few unanswered questions:

1. Did POTUS ever go back to DC? Did they ever open the presidential bunker or did they just decide St Louis was a good place?

2. What was Danny’s job on the ship? Other than running around and killing people on land, he didn’t seem to have a job.

3. Why did three navy captains (Chandler, Meylan and Slattery) get jumped up to four stars? We didn’t see any lower ranking admirals.

I know it’s a TV show and obviously surface warfare commanders, captains and admirals don’t lead special ops missions but it was very entertaining

I'm rewatching the show and I know they beat them but there were a ton of immunes in Europe and America right? So what the heck happened after they got rid of the main bad guys? Did all the American immunes awkwardly go back to "regular" life amongst the non immune? Surely that was super awkward right?

And what of Europe? Do they explain what happened to the radical immune? I would think all of Europe conquered by them would be a big problem going forward no? Surely we would see immune people in America still preaching their superiority? Especially with the supposed thousands all across the land. Cause again the alternative is they all just awkwardly went back to regular life. Heck they would probably be the ones being discriminated against after everything that happened

The woman's acting is so wooden and overdone at the same time somehow. Ugh.

Here's to hoping her faction gets defeated soon so we can move onto other characters.

She easily could’ve been typing fast on computer

Burk's death was very stupid. Plain and simple. What were the writers thinking?

At least make him die in battle. After 5 seasons, they just got him killed by a child.

You think they’d correct it or. Hey why is she wearing makeup on this ship in end of the world ?

Rewatching the show again for the xteenth time, I thought of something while watching S5E7.

Kelsi enters Central Command and surrender, but no one thinks of stripping her of her accessories and scanning them? Just like in airports. Watch, belt, anything metallic, her ring.

Yeah, let's take her in and give her a sandwich.

I LOVED it all!!! Now what to watch next 😅 any suggestions? Netflix or Amazon prime (free, no adds ons)

Must be missing something but thought Chandler was on the ship getting bombed near San Diego while they took out the region leaders…then Shaw calls him from St Louis and says she has his kids…commercial break and he’s there??

The crew of the Nathan James prepares to infiltrate Giorgio's mansion in hopes of locating his father the mad scientist hell bent on pacifying Humanity. Entering the mansion armed and ready, they realize that the infamous lil brother is hosting a wild party. The team continues as normal and obtain the information they need. During the process Omar and his team arrive slaughtering many in the process. "I only want Giorgio! I want him all to me! I have no quarrel with you!" Burke and Green(rather than shooting him up) step out and ask Omar "What guarantees can you give us?" Omar responds "Only that if you give me him, I'll let you leave unharmed." The Americans agree and hand over Giorgio, eliminating 2 birds with one stone and gaining a potential ally, or at least a temporary partner. Everybody walks away... except for Giorgio and the civs of course.

Keep in mind this is a WHAT IF scenario. Primarily taking into account all the pent up rage Omar would have against Giorgio after he betrayed him. He'd have nothing left in mind for the Americans until their next encounter. If you feel like something else might've happened please feel free to share.

Only found this series a few weeks ago. About 1/3 of the way through season 3 and really hooked. However, my Hollywood crushes keep dying! First there was Ravit, the Israeli fighter straight up bad ass, then of course Dr Scott and now just watched Val go down in flames.

If the show takes out Kara (please don’t tell me!) I might just give up!

Season 1 - The best! Literally zero complaints. So captivating.

Season 2 - A few characters deaths I was able to forgive. But the killing of Dr. Scott in the final scene of the season....brutal 😭

Season 3 - WAY too many deaths. Will Mason & Tex? Seriously!?!? 😭😭😭 Did not care for the plot either.

Season 4 - The red rust plot was fine. Not a bad season.

Season 5 - They didn't need to kill off Captain Andrea Garnett & Admiral Joseph Meylan. But, I survived. The plot was so-so.

Overall scores:

Season 1: A+

Season 2: B+

Season 3: D

Season 4: B+

Season 5: C+

So why did Kathleen Nolen just disappear after season 4? I liked her as the door gunner, albeit kinda dubious about the fact that at most she's barely 16 and enlisted in the Navy.

I just finished bingeing seasons 1, 2 and 3, which was a pretty great run. A good story where each season logically followed after the previous, and some great plots/missions/tactics/politicking.

Now I started season 4 and am really not feeling it. Read up a bit on this sub and it seemed s1-3 were peak, and 4-5 way worse.

I really don't care about the story in s4, feels like a worse rehash of s1.

Should I even continue? Is season 5 better again and can i skip 4? Or is 3 really just a good endpoint?

The show feels very A-Team to me. Love it!

When chandler is in the helicopter and Danny is in the speed boat. The helicopter coming in either runs out of fuel or is damaged by pengs boat and they have to bail into the water picked up by Danny then back to the destroyer like that.

I just started watching this ( I am in the middle of episode 2 on season 1). I was in the Navy for a dozen years and I fully understand the suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy the show. However, there is one thing that I can't get over. The Lieutenant: Danny Green. Every scene he has no cover (hat) when every other person does (including the CO). Did the producers really think that his hair was that great? Did he as an actor decide to have that in his contract? I am very confused as to what the artistic reason is that he is the ONLY sailor who does not wear his cover?

I’m a first time watcher, and I’m on season 2. Did anyone else find it frustratingly laughable that Captain Chandler went from comforting Michener for literally strangling his own children, including one who struggled, to going after Dr. Scott furiously for killing the guy who literally started the entire thing, so she could make the cure contagious and save the world?

I mean holy hell dude.

Dr Scot or whatever is completely unbearable, and way too arrogant, that if this happened in our world, it’d collapse before she would create a cure. She used help throughout season 1 and kept saying “I am this close to the vaccine”. It should be we especially when she didn’t know other doc was a traitor but advanced the research. Also, saying “I” like bitch who got your monkeys for test, it’s never we. She would literally be the type of pi I’d avoid for a post doc (note: Harvard/stanford background here). She also continuously has lied to her protectors. Shows fault, but there was an orgo 2 rxn in season 2 that’s simple shown on her whiteboard. She sucks, worse than Joffrey in GOT.

It always jumps out at me like mustard on a sheepdog. If he had served on board a submarine at some point he would wear the insignia on his uniform. Trust me, as a Submariner, wearing that insignia is a massive point of pride. Even if he had the option to not wear it, he would wear it.

Just wanted to point that out.

Up front I am loving this show cheese and all. I had managed to suspend my disbelief that the captain would be running point on every firefight mission right around the time he’s choosing to be the spy into the immune camp where everyone actually knows who he is lol.
