Time to settle things

The ship wants to distribute the vaccine. But with the submarine and the chosen ones around it is impossible. First they have to take care of Sean and his people if they want to be able to continue with their plans. Chandler decides to send some people, all the civilians and some soldiers, to firm ground while he and the rest take care of the submarine.

Cue a game of cat and mouse, the people from the submarine vs the ones on the ship. It gives for lots tension and action, even if the action is more into the 'shoot, shoot the missiles!' than people running around. Happily for us, the people on the ground also have some things to do, amping up the action levels a notch or two. Every one gets something to do, and a couple of plot developments help making things more interesting.

A good action-oriented episode, with lots to keep the viewer entertained.

This whole script is pathetic!

Warning: Spoilers
I can't say too much because the whole episode is flawed and inaccurate. A few more cringeworthy moments from a script that's just totally wrong.

"Let's turn the depth finder into a sub-hunting sonar". Yeah. Right. Let's turn the microwave oven into a surface-search radar while we're at it.

"The magazine is flooded. We have no more weapons." Right. Every single round of ammo for all the different types of weapons is stored in one place. 5-inch rounds, torpedoes, 20MM ammo for the CIWS - all stored in one magazine.

"How many rounds do we have for the 5-inch gun? Only the 4 rounds in the gun." Rounds are not stored in the gun mount. It's not a tank. There's a 20-round drum loader below the deck and modular ammunition storage racks below that. I'm sure they meant 4 rounds left in the 20-round drum loader. Yeah. That's what they meant.

It's also amazing how the whole crew, including the CO and XO are experts at ground warfare, and have all these weapons and special equipment to fight on land. In one earlier episode, they even had something like SEAL team delivery vehicles and SCUBA gear. WOW!

Even though the enemy sub was sunk, it was remarkably intact for having taken 4 5-inch rounds and 4 anti-ship missile hits. Oh, and as the sub is sinking, the two main bad guys are still alive as the sub is going down. Pathetic.
