The Last Ship has been a lot of fun with a little bit of character development thrown in. It is really one long summer blockbuster movie (Navy weapons porn some call it), but it may have legs if they throw in a few more Russian rogue villains, stranded cruise ships, and other surprises. And the idea of a plague getting out of control is not so unbelievable, with Ebola spreading in Africa. However, the full downfall of man as in this summer's The Planet of the Apes is a bit too much. Hence, I will stick with The Last Ship.
As far as Falling Skies, it will be getting it a fifth and final season. This fourth season has been somewhat confusing and disjointed, so I hope the show finds its footing again. Two battling alien races with more battling humans thrown in is a lot to follow, especially when the circumstances are a little hard to fathom. Falling Skies seems to have set up a Warsaw Ghetto for the adult characters and a Young Communist League for the kids. I get the Ghetto, but would the aliens really set up a secondary school system for the same humans they wiped out earlier? Maybe not, but I will play along for now. I expect Noah Wyle will soon be busy with his new 10-episode Librarian series due later this year. I am also happy to report Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin will be part of the new Librarian series.
