"i cant watch it when i want so im gonna steal it".

great logic you got there.
You may disagree with it, but it is absolutely sound and perfect logic.

That's season 1, though.

I checked it out before posting the pic and it looked like they had season 2.

Nope, on hulu it's only season 1 right now.
Why not watch it on TNT's website? The first two episodes are there...

On a PC? Ugh. I kind of swore to stop hooking up my laptop to the TV about five years ago and lack a media PC. I have netflix, hulu, prime, the preeminent streaming options. If it's not on them it's not stream-able in practical terms.

OMG man, get with the times! Grab a cheap Roku, throw plex on your laptop, and boom, you can stream whenever you feel like it, no fuss, no muss. :) -- granted, won't help to stream from a website until Roku finishes the mirroring code, but everything else is there.

I guess I dont consider it a big deal since I have a PC (OpenELEC) hooked up to my TV. I wouldnt watch it on a monitor though, unless I was at work. :p You might want to reconsider a htpc. Lots of cable channels stream their shows on their websites, and with Plex/Kodi, you can just add em.

Nah, that's for people too poor for dedicated hardware. I bought one of those at launch and sold it last year. Basically it was junk with a weak ass CPU. Even apple's older airplay absolutely smokes it on mirroring, much lower latency and clarity.

I have tried plex a couple of times but it is buggy, inconsistent, and not optimized well so crushes the PC. On the other hand even a 3+ year old Apple TV will pull a high quality mp4 off a pentium rig all day long while the CPU barely moves. Plex transcodes more often than it should

this show is not bad at all, but man, last weeks episode seemed like a flat out navy commercial lol. i mean a lot of the eps have, but this one seemed like it way more than others.

was also retarded how the mom was a psychic and knew about the baby.

Actually I don't use it for mirroring that much, 99% of the time I'm just casting Netflix, Hulu, or Google Music. Admittedly the mirroring on chromecast sucks pretty bad, but it's serviceable (certainly for the price).

The whole show is a Navy commercial. "Join the Navy and save the freakin world when the apocalypse strikes!!"

That's why I love it. :)

Looks like they are going to need a resupply...yet again.

I still don't see how they knew about the other labs position, if the guy with the flash drive never gave it to them...

The Russian virus creator figured out what they were trying to do when he was looking through the paperwork.

He only knew about the conversation with Dr. Hunter, not the location of the other labs.
He was looking at lab results....

Where is that picture from? I don't remember seeing that in any episodes.

It is from the new episode.

As for how they knew the locations - they asked the same questoin on the show. They haven't really said yet.

haha I fell asleep on the couch and I deleted it off the DVR this morning thinking I saw the whole thing. It was about a sub playing cat and mouse. right? Last thing I remember is the bad guy asking for asylum.

The anti BM demonstration was pretty neat. And I do love how the DD must go full bore no sound to get a hint at the sub while the sub is easily tracking them till they go near dead stop.

Why were they caught off guard anyway, once those sub's silos open up, and start launching, they would have lit up the sonar screen like no tomorrow.
Heck, and if they knew the sub when into the only place they could have, why not drop depth charges and sink them for good? Bah.
