Yeah, it does have a T2K feel to it, down to the title. (The Last Ship / Last Submarine)
It is one of the shows I look forward to watching.
Well, The Last Ship (the novel) was set after a nuclear war so originally it was very T2k. I guess when they started production of the show they figured the idea of a nuclear conflict to be not likely enough to base a show around and/or wanted to avoid comparisons to the tragically short-lived Jericho.
Only watched the first couple of episodes of Season 2 so far. Really should get on it...
From what I've seen so far though, it looks like they were headed in the right direction with the show. That almost certainly spells death for shows these days though.
Seems the more plausible and believable a story is, the more some exec wants to screw it up and get it cancelled.
However, one point I really thought was STUPID was using the dead as fuel. Just can't see how that could work even with the suspension of disbelief on overdrive!
From wikipedia
On August 11, 2015 The Last Ship was renewed for a 13-episode third season, slated to premiere in the summer of 2016.
If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"
