:rolleyes:
Ugh, more bad writing.
Last I looked, a missile is itself an explosive device...
Even if they didn't want to shoot it, they could have sabotaged the hydraulics or the controls or even jam it... but nope, let's call in for fire support!

That whole "base" under attack was also dumb, and the whole losing power thing.

what was the fuel source of the APU they took out of the chopper? last i checked they run on jet fuel.

the whole thing of hiding behind a surface to surface mobile rocket launcher and jumping a few hundred feet into the ocean and missing cliff and all the rocks just as the artillery round from the ship explodes exactly in the cave was just fucking stupid.

Sooooooooooo

The ex-Captain is now a cool blooded, moral lacking killer? Beat the guy to death and hose the girl. Least he didnt take the drugs.
The whole moble missile launcher sequence was a hoot.
Killed off a few expired contract characters.

Ill keep suspending belief and good taste and keep watching it anyway I guess.

Wow i've watched up until now and I tried to like it but the absurdity of it all just too much. The ship is sinking and I jumped off. Should of stopped after season 3.

Why wouldn't they take out that Greek ship? They already re-armed, so... ???

This has been a very disappointing season so far.

So what's causing the whole plant thing? Is it related to the other virus, or just some incredibly bad coincidence required to keep the show chugging along?

I'll keep watching, but I'm really having to suspend the hell out of my disbelief lately.

Supposedly, the virus jumped from humans (red flu) to plants, hence the red color they got.
Yeah, it is lame.

At least they (finally) had some action for the finale 2 hour block...

That missile hitting the bridge seemed really weak. How the heck did she survive? (Yeah, I know for plot reasons, but, it was still dumb.) Then they said the ship was sinking for some odd reason, when the hit didn't cause that much damage.
For the 2nd episode... Dang, she was vicious, and Wolf is getting really sloppy.
After firing the missile to take out the plane, why didn't they move the ship?

Ramming a ship that wasn't a cargo freighter? What were they thinking? ;)

Who didn't see that scene with the Captain on his knees, only to be saved by that other girl?
And why the heck did they let him go man? Come on man! Tell me man! It's not right man!--Was he trying to be a hippie or something throwing all those "mans"?

It also appears that it is already renewed for next summer as well, though, not sure why... they are running on fumes for ideas. Now, they are attacked, cyberwarfare blinds them, they go back to "old school" methods, and have more ships.

If Cheech and Chong ever make another movie, Peter Weller needs to be in it.

Pretty disappoint in how the 3 main baddies went out but then again the whole season was pretty disappoint.
