Last resort (TV show) thread

[PokerGuy]

Anyone else watch the premier? I didn't have high expectations for it, but I really liked the first episode. For anyone who likes Tom Clancy - esque stuff, this is a must watch.

Cut my life into pieces

 

[Newbian]

I will tell you when it shows on tv next week.

 

[dr150]

I'm sure it'll be be better than Revolution (which is an epic FAIL).

 

[hclarkjr]

i thought it premiered the 27th?

 

[arrfep]

Bump. It's available on Hulu right now. I thought the pilot was pretty good, quite engaging.

But...I can't imagine what they're going to fill an entire season with.

 

[Printer Bandit]

i liked it. kind of reminded me of crimson tide.

 

[RossMAN]

I thought the premier was tonight 9/27?

 

[BrokenVisage]

Liked it.

 

[RossMAN]

Is this true? Shawn Ryan is behind "Last Resort"?

Episode one has been available online for several weeks.


I saw it. It was VERY close to jumping the shark in the first episode. Kind of ridiculous plot, but I like the tone and the theme, so I'll give it a chance.

So much going on but I wonder how much they can do from here as said above and not have a ton of filler like a bunch of episodes with that island gangster guy.

Robert Patrick

Too bad they are doing the typecast and making him the villain again it looks like.

 

[RossMAN]

Why does Grace (Daisy Betts) look familiar?

 

[Rumpltzer]

I'd be a national hero if I could just invent some sort of technology that could prevent detection of aircraft. It seems like we should have been able to come up with something like that by now.

Like, maybe if we had enough computer processing power to make like a spikey or faceted airframe stay aloft despite being all misshapen and non-aerodynamic.




The chick from Dollhouse. I love the exotic look. She makes me all tingley down there.

The chick in DC... my god... I couldn't stop looking at her.

I'll ignore the stupid stuff and keep watching... 'cause apparently, only hot chicks get put onto subs, work in small island bars, and for govt contractors. It's true. It's gotta be true. It better be true when I show up for work tomorrow.

What the hell are they trying to do? How are we supposed to concentrate on the plot/actors/story?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Just watched it. I enjoyed it more than I expected. The captain is perfectly cast - always liked him in House. I'll keep watching.

It's been years since I've seen House, didn't know he was on there.

Why does Grace (Daisy Betts) look familiar?

She was on a summer show called Persons Unknown that for some reason I really got into. It was sort of like The Prisoner

That's it, thanks!!!!

Are you talking about the bombers they detected?

If so did they say what ones they were and remember they were still using the subs systems to detect them and if they are able to figure out what ship fired on them they probably were still plugged into some kind of shared military network.

It seems like only certain individuals were trying to get them to fire as a way to keep the current president in power as it sounded like he was in the process of getting kicked out.

Whaaaaaat? Thanks for pointing that out, RossMAN. Makes me more likely to have faith. Terriers was one of my favorite shows ever.

So much going on but I wonder how much they can do from here as said above and not have a ton of filler like a bunch of episodes with that island gangster guy.

I fear it will become like Lost without any mystery...basically a soap opera on an island.

I hope it ends up something more like A-Team With A Nuke-Armed Submarine

Hmmm.... maybe a 2012 version of seaquest. D:

You're welcome and I have some faith, some. Shawn Ryan has produced some of my favorite TV shows including:

Nash Bridges (no laughing please)
The Shield
The Unit
Terriers
The Chicago Code

I fear it will become like Lost without any mystery...basically a soap opera on an island.

I share the same fears and concerns, you're probably right.

I hope it ends up something more like A-Team With A Nuke-Armed Submarine

That would be freaking awesome. Let's hope it lasts for at least 3 seasons, doubtful but I can dream.

Saw a preview on TV recently, looked pretty good.
