Last Resort TV Show

"The Last Resort" - Recent episode had the female captain taking the sub out on her own while the other two in charge met with the sneaky VP & White House chick on the beach to arrange a possible 'settlement' to turn themselves & the sub 'in'.  I thought the COB (played by Robert Patrick from Terminator) was such a chauvinist ass to her but I had to clap when he changed his tune at the end. Did anyone else get chills when he suddenly shouted 'Captain on Deck!' to the sailors when she came down the corridor?  This is because she handled herself like a badass during the sub attack & subsequent maneuvers including leaving a Seal Diver behind to possibly die. She knew the ship & onboard personnel outweighed one diver's life.  She smiled a little smugly though... She did not know that her father, the decorated General, came with the VP and that he bought her time by shooting the VP just as orders to sink her sub were about to be given!  (Damn! Can you blame the General for shooting that bastard?)  I laughed when she asked the smartass COB after he made a degrading comment "How did you stay married?" and he replied "Always out to sea" or something like that. It was such a quick comment & comeback that it lifted the tension between them. Good writing this show...

I was pleasantly suprised to see the inventor girl back in the states sneak into Blond chickie's House (Wife of 2nd in Command) in the middle of the night to help her uncover the corruption.  When Blondie quickly offered her tea instead of shooting her as an intruder I bet she thought 'You had me at "I'll help you expose the lies". lol More on those two below:

This whole show, if you're not familiar, (it has only been out a few weeks so you could conceivably catch up on hulu or ABC) is about a submarine that gets a strange order to fire nukes at Pakistan. Only the two that must turn the keys to do this suddenly question their orders because they came through a very weird channel, not their usual & customary channel. (Out of Antarctica instead of Pentagon?) It is so odd to them, that the question the orders, which is apparently a HUGE NO NO, as many on the sub fear.  Once they question the order, and do not fire, they are fired UPON by another US Sub!!!  Oh, I forgot to mention that before this order, the sub picked up a few suspicious-acting Navy Seals who happened to be floating in the ocean off the coast. At least one was injured & died, but they would not explain what happened.  Anyone get what they might have been up to?

The sub avoids the missile sent for them and ends up taking up residence in a bay off an island. In order to survive, they have to resort (the Last Resort) to threatening the Dept of Defense with a missile to the U.S. coast. (It doesn't injure anyone) The ships & subs that came after them must remain at 200 or so miles off the coast of said island or the sub says it will nuke a U.S. city. By the way, there's a nasty druglord that thinks he 'owns' the island. He captures & holds a few sailors hostage and ends up killing one even after negotiating with the Captain for an exchange. That Bastard will be trouble in upcoming episodes if they don't cap his a$$.

The inventor of special tech on the sub is a Father/daughter team, the daughter being a feisty little minx who has some secret disk drive that enabled her to track that sub. The drive gets stolen, but not before she discovers that the sub is involved in a troublesome cover-up and the men aboard are innocent. This includes the husband of 'blondie'. She has to break into Blondie's house in the middle of the night to sneak past the media camped outside, as they think her hubby is a traitor. I think inventor girl and Blondie are going to find some great dirt on this whole thing, but they'll have us wait at least a dozen episodes!!!
OK so I did not have names & titles listed well in this, my first comment page. Going forward, I will do much better!  What I hope is that some of you have noticed nuances of this show that we can 'catch' and discuss here. I'll be back to post about upcoming episodes of this and others! 
Anyone have an idea of what the sneaky VP / President could be up to on this show? Or if the 2nd in command is going to 'hook up' with the scientist on the island?  ;)
