I'm not a military expert, but I'm not sure that a submarine crew is ever prepping to board another sub, boat, or land. They are there to keep the sub operational. So, I can see them being "not that great."

Just watched ep2. I actually thought it was better than the pilot.
Really? I watched the pilot last night and thought it was very strong. Going to watch the second episode tonight.
It's not good. The timeslot is terrible, with The Big Bang Theory and X-Factor taking all the viewers (and most of the younger ones, which is what ABC is after). I've read that ABC is contractually obligated to air all 13 episodes but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Thinking like this is what got 2 broke girls renewed for a second season.

All they do is push the "torpedo fire" button. As stated in the pilot, you dont fire a gun in a sub.
I enjoyed the second episode, still not sure how they draw out 13 episodes. Hope it ends well.
Also.....during the firefight....was that the famous Jurassic park log?

I thought episode 2 was pretty good. The guy with the face paint swooping in to save the day was stupid, and the writing/acting is still spotty, but I think the show is still pretty entertaining overall. Episode 3 is supposed to be the best episode so far, so hopefully that upswing in quality will continue on to future episodes.
I'm sure the writers have ideas for where to take the show in seasons 2, 6, 19, etc. but at this point no one has to worry about that because neither of the above things are ever going to happen. We're getting 13 episodes at most.
I actually thought that was pretty clever.

Loved the second episode. I'm all over this show, it's cheesy, fun, has a solid variety of interesting characters and the action is pretty good.
Very sad to see it'll likely get cancelled.

Me too. Amazing. The show getting cancelled would be a travesty .... Some of the best popcorn tv in years. Like watching a slightly corny but great actiony Tom Clancy novel on tv. I'm loving it, best new show this fall.
Edit: I'll admit I shed a few man tears at the revelation that
the captains son had died.
Also FUCK people not using spoilers. The unspoilered

I dunno I like throwbacks like this that have tense moments "on the phone" where the wrong thing said could start nukes flying

If you haven't seen the newest episode, you shouldn't enter the thread! It is known.

I'm used to the game of thrones thread where spoilers = ban
Still lesson learned
As soon as the episode airs on the east coast, spoilers are allowed. That's the policy for all TV threads, including Game of Thrones.

just saw the first episode. I liked it alot except for some cheesy moments which are to be expected. (la bamba, really?)
Just noticed my DVR didn't record the second episode since there were conflicts with other shows at that time.
Gotta find it through other means. Will read thread after. tag.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who thinks this, but the actress who plays third in command and faces sexist remarks and that special ops guy who constantly drinks feel so miscast. The girl has potential but her facial expressions are just so blank and emotionless while the guy borderlines on overacting and chewing the scenery.

Hulu has it!
She's definitely the weakest link on the show, in terms of acting ability. She really can't emote for shit.

Just want to add that episode previews MUST be spoiler tagged, even after they air on the east cost. Same with commercials many people avoid those.

Good episode. 3 for 3. Ratings probably dip again though tomorrow as people are dumb.
What track was it?

I really like this show, especially the tense underwater scenes.
What I can't get past is the thug. ugh. I get that they need another rival on the island, but this dude really rubs me the wrong way...

According to Wikipedia she was on an episode of Torchwood, but she's probably best known as "Sierra" on the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse.

I liked the last episode but not as much as the first two.
Couldn't believe the gangster got away with killing one of their people with no consequences.

Killing the solider seemed so petty and arbitrary. The gangster will definitely get his, but not before he has a chance to become more of a pain in their side.
I hope they show more state side politics and fallout from dropping a nuke and less island living.

Good episode this week. A definite improvement over episode 2. I thought it was cool that one of the men was killed as a result of the submarine crew not arriving on time to deliver the cargo to Julian. I mean, it was sad that the guy died, but it's nice to know that there are actual consequences that result from their actions.

I can't remember if it was on the OST, but it was one of the island chants that they used at the beginning (and end) of the movie.
yeah its that one. Fitting song since funeral procession and it being a religious song
I'm hoping
the consequences
