Anyone else watch> I do. It's decent I suppose.

Capt. Chandlers cool. I'd hit the biologist girl.

It has virus and monkees.
 
Yeah, it's a nice change of pace and certainly a good time killer while I wait for Walking Dead.
 
They should have named it The Floating Dead.

ROFL. Honestly they could have set it in the same universe without any major conflict. We don't really know shit about the world of the Walking Dead other than Atlanta and a fairly small area around it has fallen to shit. (Close enough that when he needs guns he goes back to the police station from the first episode and reunites with the black guy for a while) I'm guessing they are no more than three or four hours outside Atlanta.
 
Pretty good show. I've enjoyed it so far. I just have to occasionally suppress being so critical of Military shows, even more so Navy ones as I'm a retired squid myself.
 
I wasn't a squid, for the most part I don't have a hard time ignoring military mistakes. The ones that piss me off are the ones that I look at and know you had a military adviser on the set who thought this shit was funny. Like I forget what show I was watching but some Sailor had the chevrons on sideways. Like what the fuck right? I can easily understand getting them upside down. If you don't know they make equal sense pointing up as pointing down ya know? But sideways? You did that shit on purpose!

Even when I was in the military I couldn't watch it with some of the guys who would point out that there is no way someone 'x' age could possibly have such and such ribbon/medal because that was for Operation Whogives a fuck and his parents hadn't even met when that was given.

I have to suppress a lot in the show actually like tonites epi. You just don't walk on a Russian warship and walk off like they did.

It was really pretty silly but the scientist is so hot I don't care.

I hated Gravity because Bullock and Clooney go through a shit storm of debris from an exploded satellite and are not so much as grazed by a stray widget traveling thousands of miles per hour.

It would be like standing in a thunderstorm without getting wet.

I call that an acceptable break because it's possible the writers didn't know and most people wouldn't. And it wasn't intentionally wrong. This is stuff like flying a flag upside down that gets me annoyed.

What? No Way!! How could anyone NOT know that in a three dimensional debris cloud moving toward you, the only way one could get through it without being struck is for the cloud to contain a hole from back to front large enough for your entire body to get through? Otherwise, in a random dispersion of debris moving along a straight line in a two dimensional plane SOMETHING is going to hit you SOMEWHERE. If it's not a piece of debris at the front of the cloud then it most certainly will be one or more of the following pieces in the middle.

And you certainly won't get hit on every single inch of your body, but you're going to get pelted enough times to seek first aid at an intergalactic medical clinic. :rolleyes:
