Michael Bay's The Last Ship on TNT

[teachsac]

That was rhetorical. Next time I'll add bummer.

 

[harshness]

I'll say it again, CBS didn't preempt their episode where a Russian fighter jet get shot down by Americans that was aired within the VERY same week that Turkey actually shot down a Russian fighter jet, what's the difference?

Perhaps because the Turkish downing of a Russian fighter jet story wasn't nearly 100% of the day's news and the topic of a large number of crawls and other news alerts? Maybe it was that only two died (the pilot and a rescuer) in the SU-24 shoot-down versus a lot more in the respective night clubs. Violations of airspace by military personnel often don't end well whereas disco visits, stateside or otherwise, rarely result in damaging much more than someone's pride.

That said, US TV viewers don't seem to be offered a particularly worldly viewpoint and it was grounding to see something other than the political circus.

Well, at least I got to see it in the "First Look" episode a couple of weeks ago...

It appears Canada is airing the first 2 eps tonight. I set a timer for them on Bell just in case.

I just sat down to watch and realized they pulled it.

I was confused when I turned it on partly through part 1 (per Dish) on Sunday night and it was season 2, but didn't realize what they had done. Oh well...

I was watching TNT last night, and they had an ad for the Season Premiere for Sunday. When I looked at the OD on Monday on D*, Episodes 1 and 2 were listed. Checked again last night, and they were gone. Only the last 5 from season 2 remained.

S~

The schedule seems to be totally screwed up. Just in case I'm recording it from Canada as well. I'll get it from one or the other.

My Comcast guide now shows the first two episodes coming up Sunday night. Yesterday it only showed one episode.

 

[dfergie]

Watched a S1 episode last night on Hulu, there was an ad for the premiere on Sunday ...

 

[teachsac]

My D* guide had both yesterday. Had to set tthe timer to record them. Episode 3 was still set to record but next Sunday.

My guide now shows the 2-episode season premier on Sunday night...

I didn't want to take any chances so I set my DVR to record both old and new episodes.

Awesome start to the season.

Spoiler: spoiler

Disappointed about the fate of Dr. Scott

A couple new eye candy additions.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Agreed, the 3rd season is off to a good start!

Spoiler

Not sure Dr. Scott is actually dead...they left a lot of open-ends last season

Bummer about Valkyrie though...

Bummer about Valkyrie though...

Yes, I was initially glad to see her back.

I miss Rachael and Tex.

Forgot all about Tex. I don't think they have explained what happened to him.

He went off to try to find his daughter.
