The Last Ship Season 4

[Overmind One]

well what the hell-exactly-do yo guys want in a sci fi show? to make something draw viewers, writers have to push some boundaries of reality (hence "fiction"). Blowing up the things that are possible yet however improbable.

if this, or any other show stuck to the hard facts of science, naval life, military protocol or any thing else resembling 'acceptable everyday realities', just how many people do you think would watch it?

not many, and it would be on the SCIENCE channel

and what was so hard to follow about LOST?

geez, give it a rest already, either you liked a 'dead' show or you didn't. that dead horse is long buried

So, is this show still on? Have they brought in the aliens or the special Telekenisis Girl yet?

A crew member has to get pregnant first, then give birth in record time, then the baby needs to grow up overnight. So basically they just need two episodes to establish 'Magic-alien-girl' as a cast member.

No aliens, no special tk girl or any other such stuff. Upthread I had noted that the show has managed its longevity by effectively reinventing itself each season. Season 4 was more like '24' or 'Jeremiah' than anything else.

It is still on and Season 5 airs in the summertime.

'Jeremiah'

JEREMIAH makes so much of today's newest stuff look like total steaming slag

and JEREMIAH was just good. I'd die for a JEREMIAH quality show today. the only thing close in that area of the genre is THE 100.

standards and expectations of the viewing audience for sci fi / future fi ,etc nave been lowered so far down in the last 20yrs

how much longer till ppl stop settling for crap?

Yeah, the 100 is AWESOME. . Seriously, I am surprised that this show The Last Ship is still on. I haven't been watching it, so I have no opinion on it at the moment. I jumped ship a while back.

Of course. I should have capitalized Ship.

Jeremiah...so that's a good show? I haven't seen it. Will I love it as much as the 100?

 

[Joelist]

I rate Jeremiah higher than The 100 because it managed not to get excessively soapy and the story was a type I like - recovering from an apocalypse. It's more about the rebuilding and recovery than the usual "Romero" stuff that puts you in the apocalypse itself.

What was the other show on around at the same time? There was a similar on to Jeremiah but I can't remember the name.

 

[Joelist]

I'm not sure of a show similar to Jeremiah. There is a small resemblance to a TOS episode but beyond that I asm unsure.

I think it was Jericho. The names are similar so I can't keep them straight.

Your writeup in there was awesome! I really got what I needed to know about that show from your post. I will plan a watch of it and comment then.
