Well I have an issue with the show.

Spoiler!

Otherwise it seemed interesting and I would probably watch the next show as well to see what happens.

Also here is the Wiki site concerning the show. It confirms what I stated in my spoiler about location.

I liked 666 Park Avenue. A little campy, but fun enough.

2nd episode last night was pretty good too. Consistent with the 1st episode as far as quality. Im still interested

I don't understand the position of the COB. You have orders coming through back channels when your front channels are open. When they request the orders come through the proper channels they are fired upon. You have proof that those who fired upon you were your own people. You have a missile attack on Pakistan with no provocation. After all this you're still holding onto orders are orders?

They've just let too many open holes. Nobody in the states is even talking about the attack on Pakistan, another nuclear power. What has Pakistan done to respond? The US is at war with Pakistan and they're sending the fleet out to counter the Colorado?

It will last as long as they are able to figure out a way to get Autumn Reeser in her underwear every week (the tech guru).

Wow - that girl is attractive.

I think there was some pretty serious overacting, but I don't watch network dramas so that may just be par for the course. Like most, I was intrigued by the Clancy-esq element of the show and like most I just don't see how they get more than a season or 2 out of it, max.

They'll need to develop the hell out of some of the characters that aren't on that boat. You'll need it to be some combination of The West Wing, Lost and Red October. If they're able to swing it, the subject matter is interesting enough to keep it going for a bit.

But that's a pretty high bar.

Spoiler! a Trident 2 missile has a range of 4000 nautical miles or about 7360 km. If they were given an order to launch on Pakistan, disobeyed that ordered, and then launched a missile at Washington DC, that missile would not be able to hit DC from where they were located at. Best guess they were patrolling in the Indian Ocean as they crossed the equator. It would take them a couple of days to get within range for a DC hit. Otherwise it seemed interesting and I would probably watch the next show as well to see what happens. Also here is the Wiki site concerning the show.
