The beginning was really amazing, new ideas and exciting adventures, and then went boring like every other starting-popular TV shows--The greed for extending the show ends in cliche and predictable format. Pity

The Good: The Premise had potential. Supervirus, LAst Ship, what else to Say.The Bad: The Story itself is between borderline insane to boring. Nothing makes much sense and is stretched out for no good reason into the oblivion.The Ugly: Well starting with the Main Protagonist our captain who is simply the absolute wrong cast. Nobody buys his badass Warrior image he steady pretends. I cant remember seeing a worse choice for a ship captain in TV or movies everThe Effects: are a bad joke. Seriously you can find better stuff on youtube, made by Hobbyists. Its like watching a cheap 90's TV showThe Realism in fighting and tactics is another bad joke. Has nothing todo with anything remote realistic despite they pretend to know what they are doing, their communications are most of the time spot on.The Insults: No matter if a NATO Partner or the Russians, nobody wins against that tiny ship. Last season even a whole fleet looses, running into them like a mindless video game AI with suicidal tendencys. At the End America prevail and save the world not once but twice in a matter of a few seasonsBottomline: Pure crap and we need negative stars raiting

I used to really like this show and will likely continue to watch, but the writers are producing pathetic scripts, all Season 4, so far!I just finished watching S4Ep6 and felt motivated to write this review. What an insult to the US Navy, these naiive bumblers are at every turn.Two civilian spoiled brats constantly outthink them? Oh, yes, just wait until their dad gets involved! lolAnyone who's bought any kind of seeds knows they are stored in lightproof containers. These non-thinkers keep them in a long, clear plastic tube...in a well lit cabinet...in the *doctor's* office?! Whaaaat?! lol The whole of humanity rests on these seeds, and they won't even put them in a safe...with a lock. So precious, no thought to even split them up into at least a few separate locations in case of fire, etc.Sasha betrays her country to the con man stealing their precious cargo and lets him jump overboard without shooting him, because she believes he is still good at heart... Uh-oh, here comes the soap opera! That guy, jumping into the sea without any survival gear in a storm of storms, must have had to tread water with one arm while holding the tube, survives?! PUH-LEEEZ! The Nathan James with a helicopter couldn't find him when the storm settles, but the kid with the party boat does?! The Nathan James couldn't even find the party boat? Too funny. Speaking of the helicopter, the same pilot and same gunner for every mission? And, would someone give that gunner a pair of goggles to make it a bit more realistic? A bug or grain of airborne sand gets in her eye, and she's out of action! I guess a good camera angle is more important than her eyes.The funniest part in this episode was, at the height of the storm, it takes a half dozen sailors to tie a rope across a room and they tell the rescued civilians to spread themselves across the room hanging on the rope so their weight is evenly spread out, so the ship doesn't capsize! Whhhhaaat?! Too funny, again! Too ridiculous! I just searched for the expected weight of a US Navy destroyer...just shy of 10,000 tons!I sincerely believe we are witnessing lazy writers simply dusting off scripts from action TV shows of the '70's, and just changing them enough to put their own names to it. Lame!

The last episode had a glaring error when Chandler told the crew they could not take the Suez Canal since the locks were not operational. The show's military/geographical adviser needs to tell the writers that the Suez Canal, unlike the Panama Canal, has no locks! I mention this because up to now the military/geographical details have been near flawless. This is a great show never-the-less.
