Ah... when you have a captain being put under arrest for doing silly things that do not agree with the orders that come from the top... Well, you get an episode as "Scuttle", zero originality, but amazingly fun, entertaining and attention grabbing, the tension running high during its 40 minutes of running time.
Chandler has gone too far, just doing things without taking into account the people in USA (or whatever USA seems to be right now). Captain Meylan is told to put Chandler under arrest, take Slattery out of sight, and bring the ship back to the USA. Meylan is more than happy after what happened in their encounter with Peng's ships, so Chandler has to think fast to find a solution to the situation. He, for one, is not going to let Peng continue with the 'genocide'. And of course, the rest of the Nathan James is going to join him. Right?
"Scuttle" is the typical episode where the one in power is taken out of power but has to be back in power to stop the 'bad people' from doing 'bad things' so it has to think of a way to take the new one out of power without actually doing something they will regret (remember, everyone here is an USA soldier). If you have seen any of those submarine, ship movies where you have two strong personalities fighting to keep control of the vessel, you have already seen "Scuttle". However, the episode does a great job of keeping things going, with a couple of nice twists, and good acting.
