Started watching series 2 and 3 and I am having a hell of a time staying sane enough and awake enough.,just want to keep the playing field level and sensible. At times there are ludicrous story lines. Someone basically saves the world and is reprimanded for doing what needed and had to be'done. A war is about to break out between China and the US...over what? Not sure yet. Bad writing and a fairly good cast leads to a coulda and shoulda been better show. Complaining aside I will watch the rest of the series out of a masochistic curiosity. fluffy bunnies and alice Favourite actor is the Japanese co-star of Helix.I watch all the stuff I can.

Warning: Spoilers
Chandler goes to pay a visit to president Peng. Slattery and Takehaya (whose name no one seems to be able to pronounce correctly) have a chat. Tensions rise.
The fourth episode of this third season of "The Last Ship" keeps things going on, but there is little focus and the writers seem to have decided to let the story take control of itself. The part in the Japanese pirates' town is all ludicrous (even though, finally, Takehaya is 'smart' enough to at least have a talk with Slattery) and it falls into the let's-entertain-with-scenes-of-torture. Chandler's showdown at Peng's house is not particularly original or offers good action (or makes much sense whatsoever). What it offers is much grumbling, menacing and finger-pointing, the action just very average and resorting to silly developments as the cameras going blank moment.
"The Last Ship" should offer more than this. Let's hope that the minefield where the Nathan James finds itself at the end of the episode offers some new developments and gives some focus to the story.
