The Last Ship: Season 4 [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Before I begin, I have to say that I watched Seasons 1-4 back to back and each season was fresh in my mind as I watched the next. Season 4 begins with Captain Chandler living as a fisherman in Greece. His children are with him and he has a girlfriend. 16 months has passed and Chandler, still trying to get over breaking his oath at the end of Season 3, realizes that he was confused about justice and revenge. When his friend is killed, he realizes that he wants both justice and revenge.

The world has survived the virus but now the virus has taken up inside plant life and is again threatening human life. No plants, no feed for livestock, no food. The Red Flu has given away to Red Rust. The crew of the Nathan James is still fighting evil and this time they are looking to buy seeds that have survived ice ages and are immune from the Red Rust.- Dan J

The alchemy involved in the making of a hit television show is an intricate blend of just the right casting, brilliant writing, and a solid concept. Hit the mark and you have entertainment gold and judging by the many failed series we see year in and year out it’s an elusive thing. “The Last Ship” took a book which by most accounts was mediocre to begin with and spun it into an action packed, suspenseful post-apocalyptic adventure. Sustaining such a successful formula can also be an elusive thing and after three top-notch seasons we begin to see a decline with the fourth outing which explains why the upcoming fifth season will be the last.

Starting out we discover that now the “Red Flu” has been contained and the cure spread globally thanks to the stalwart crew of the USS Nathan James and the late Dr. Rachel Scott (Rhona Mitra) a new threat imperils the world. The “Red Rust” is affecting plant life across the planet poisoning food supplies leading to mass starvation. One type of seed has resistance to the blight and it’s been stolen from the world seed vault. The James and her crew (absent Capt Chandler who retired last season) are hunting for the seeds so the secret of their immunity can be discovered. Former XO Capt Mike Slattery (Adam Baldwin) is now the ship’s CO and a group of terrorists are trying to beat him and his team to the seeds.- Colonel D

This is still a strong season but its plagued by the similar things that the other seasons have…that is that the US navy seems to be composed of super soldiers that never tire, never miss, and never have to reload. No one can even match up to them and they always have the right explosive at the right time.

I dont mind the fact that America is badass, but they make killing the opposition seem to easy. They stroll through an enemy compound, and the enemy just “sprays and prays” while the navy “one shot, one kills”-Stephen
