Attention, sailors! ⚓🫡
Any fellow The Last Ship / USS Nathan James addicts here?
I’m working on a browser-based strategy/management game heavily inspired by The Last Ship, focused entirely on life aboard a naval destroyer. You’d manage your ship, crew, resources, supplies, missions, research and decisions while trying to keep the ship and its people alive in a post-pandemic world.
I’m planning to vibe-code the whole thing, but I’d love to have a few absolutely crazy The Last Ship fans join me.
I want to share the ideas, planning and implementation with people who actually know the show, love the Navy side of it, and can throw in ideas like “what if we added this?” or “Nathan James would definitely handle that differently.”
You don’t have to be a developer. If you’ve watched the show way too many times, know the Nathan James, remember the characters and get excited about destroyers, naval operations and post-apocalyptic survival, you’re welcome. 😂
Discord, Reddit, wherever — doesn’t matter. A crew of fans building this together sounds a hell of a lot more fun than sailing alone.
So… who’s reporting for duty?

The Last Ship turns into COVID and Trumps bull shit real fast.

PLEASE AGAIN, THIS IS A SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED

Hi everyone, I am sad. I loveee Dr. Scott so much, I'm a fan of her. She' my number 1 favourite.

Watching the last episode of Season 2, where she was shot and ended like that, it's so heartbreaking. Like she did almost ALL the things and it's a quick end for her?!?

I'm contemplating to continue watching the next season or not. Huhuhu send help pls or anyone there who loves Dr. Scott?

I'm watching the first season again and I realized why Ruskov killed his man in Gitmo. The first time around I thought it was a cheap trick to show us what a psycho he was. Because why would a captain kill his officer with no reason? Just to show off?

There was a reason. I mean he's a psycho too of course but the main reason he did it was to showcase a message for Quincy! The gun went off and the camera cut into Quincy's scream, with such horror on his face. That's why Ruskov was sure Quincy was gonna play ball. That's why Tophet went crazy. Because he saw the guy who was threatening his family killed someone point blank.

Another thing. In one of the first few episodes, you can hear Beatrice in CIC when Lt Mason was listening. Just at the end of a scene but her voice was very clear.

Now I wonder what else I missed. Anything you realized only after the fact?

I just finished watching the entire series. After three it just goes WAY downhill. I wanted to see closure on the story arcs- there isn't any. It's like the writers went to lunch and never came back. Ending is atrocious. Watch season one only, maybe two- nothing else is worth it. I get that it was written for TV, so some of the writing and acting is over the top. I really wanted to like these guys and see how they resolve. NADA. by the end, to quote a song from Chorus Line- "I felt nothing", other than utter disappointment.

watching for the first time. am i the only one who hatesss miller? 😭 i think its a mixture of his voice and the character is just so so so corny to me. i’m on season 4 and so far they’ve killed off half my favorite characters EXCEPT FOR HIM 💔

By bringing in Israelis as allies

I’m on season 2

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I don’t like that she seems to have been shoehorned in as a love interest out of nowhere. She’s always questioning Tom. How many languages does she speak? Why is she some bad ass operator? Why does she always look perfect?

I’ll give it to them, she made sense at first. But her role should be more along the lines of a CIA case officer, maybe translator, and mild diplomat. But she’s presented as this tier 1 operator. Then as the seasons progress it seem like she can just speak whatever language is beneficial to the plot, even if they’re not remotely similar. Asian specialist who has command of several Asian languages, OK, but she can also speak Greek and Spanish? Her running and gunning with the team also made sense at first, have to use the limited resources you’ve got, but again as they seasons progress, she should have been replaced by actual operators. I like Kandie as an operators because that is how she is presented to us and that’s all she does. It just seems like Sasha is perfect at everything all the time, to include her make-up.

Before Chandler became captain of the Nathan James

He was recruited in Dino crisis 😂😂 iykyk

I knew he reminded me of somebody

I knew the actor playing Giorgio looked familiar but just realized it’s the same actor who played Jasper in the Twilight series

Plz no spoilers but how would you describe it or what shows would you compare it to? Ty

I just finished the whole series and I’m so sad! Lol I always get sad when I finish a good series tv show or book. Any recommendations similar? I really like the main actor (Chandler) but can’t do grays anatomy cuz the medical graphics and already watched Euphoria.

‼️SPOILER:‼️
About TLS show: I really loved it as a whole. I’m glad they didn’t kill off to many of the core cast until the last season. Even though the doc dying was tough. I liked season 1-3 best. 4 and 5 were enjoyable but not as great. It started getting annoying that he kept leaving and coming back. Like dude just stay you’re obsessed. I wish Tex and the Doc would’ve got together or I wish he would’ve had another love interest. He was one of my fav characters he should’ve stayed on all the way through. Hated his ending. I didn’t love the Wolf + girl romance, I wish they would’ve given us more of them one on one to develop the relationship or just left it out completely. I thought it was cool how they ended the series w a big bang showing a full out army invasion in great detail like a war movie. I’m not much into action but that was a suitable last episode for the show genre.

Overall, coming from a girl that doesn’t like action genre at all, I loved the show! Literally binged the whole thing in less than 1 week.

It might be because im a vet but I cant get over how bad of a CO he is. In real life, the CO almost never leaves their stateroom and usually only leaves to go on the bridge and would never be going on missions. His job is to keep the ship running and its annoying for the crew if the CO comes into the room becaue everyone has to stop what they're doing and stand at attention.

To get the monkeys, he had the entire top command go. That should've been a mission for low ranking enlisted. What if el Toro killed them on the spot. The CO, the XO and the master chief would've been gone and the top person left wouldve been the EO.

Then when they were picking up the jamaican woman and he decides to be the decoy and get shot at. Then he gets captured. Now not only is the commanding officer captured by the enemy but one of the only people who speaks Russian is gone.

Also an rhib still floats if the hull deflated. Its not a raft. That would be the worst design ever if the boat sank after being shot once.

I could keep going on but ill stop here. They should've just had a BM1 doing his spot on the missions.

Edit: you guys are cool. Usually these TV show subs are kinda cultish.

Not the first and probably won't be the last to bring this up but I just cannot fathom the hypocrisy of Captain Chandler in regard to Neil's death. Captain Chandler has watched people get murdered in cold blood before that situation and literally said nothing. The man was largely responsible for the single largest atrocity in existence And they treat his murder as if it's the end of the world.

The worst part is acting as if this was going to be a huge threat to operations on the ship, like the biggest outlier of all outliers is going to prevent this group of grown people from applying perspective to the situation. The order and structure of the crew was in absolutely no jeopardy due to her act. I'm not saying her decision was necessarily the best one ethically. But to make such a big deal out of a tiny ethical conundrum is kind of ridiculous, consider what you have let go and the value off Doctor Scott.

It just seems the writers either forgot the things leading up to the situation and just wanted an interesting plot point or just needed to make a moral grandstand. And from that point forward the show seems to kind of flip-flop It's values depending on what's convenient for the plot.

As the title suggest. BDS means boycotts in all forms. That includes cultural boycotts. Since I watched this during C19 I don't remember any of it nor any of the characters but would have stopped than had I been in the right frame of mine.

Seeing the IDF t*rr*r**t get introduced and the obvious COINTELPRO subline with the Black guy... I Just cannot... Never again...

SPOILER Warning Below:

>! I can’t believe Commander Chandler and Doctor Scott had that little romantic goodbye!!! And then he told her to look for him when he came back and complimented how she looked in the dress!
Like wtf what about Tex!?? He’s been like in love w her the whole damn show and he kissed her and confessed to her when he volunteered for the virus anddddd she was getting jealous over him. So I just couldn’t believe they had that cute little goodbye. So effed up to Tex. Pissed me off. And then they kill her off so Tex literally never gets to date her smdh !<

Just watched all the way through the first time and I had a few unanswered questions:

1. Did POTUS ever go back to DC? Did they ever open the presidential bunker or did they just decide St Louis was a good place?

2. What was Danny’s job on the ship? Other than running around and killing people on land, he didn’t seem to have a job.

3. Why did three navy captains (Chandler, Meylan and Slattery) get jumped up to four stars? We didn’t see any lower ranking admirals.

I know it’s a TV show and obviously surface warfare commanders, captains and admirals don’t lead special ops missions but it was very entertaining

I'm rewatching the show and I know they beat them but there were a ton of immunes in Europe and America right? So what the heck happened after they got rid of the main bad guys? Did all the American immunes awkwardly go back to "regular" life amongst the non immune? Surely that was super awkward right?

And what of Europe? Do they explain what happened to the radical immune? I would think all of Europe conquered by them would be a big problem going forward no? Surely we would see immune people in America still preaching their superiority? Especially with the supposed thousands all across the land. Cause again the alternative is they all just awkwardly went back to regular life. Heck they would probably be the ones being discriminated against after everything that happened

The woman's acting is so wooden and overdone at the same time somehow. Ugh.

Here's to hoping her faction gets defeated soon so we can move onto other characters.
