Another great episode that sees the Captain entertaining the
idea of creating an alliance with China, Sam finally reunited
with his Wife Christine and the problem that is "Prison" control
is finally addressed. I was wondering just how much man power
the Captain would be able to spend on watching and feeding the
prisoners who seem to be multiplying at a faster rate than
Gremlins. Lashing is the order of the day. As for Christine, I
knew that what's his face had staged her death so that he could
profit from her capture later. Bastards gonna pay once Sam finds
out!!

Another awesome episode. I just don't know what was my favorite
part. A lot of shit went down in this one. You have the meeting
taking place where the higher ups are plotting to arrest the
President and then having to kill one of the Generals who was
going to blow the whistle on the whole plot. You had the
showdown between the Submarine and the Destroyer on whether or
not the Captain would have the balls to fire on his own kind. He
does. And then you have Cortez, who was sent to assassinate the
Captain finally making a decision on which side of the line to
stand on. Just a great hour, full of high tension.

I'm watching the episode and the entire time I am waiting for
things to go sideways with regards to the Coup of arresting the
President. I was on pins and needles. What I didn't see coming
was Ernie Hudson's character admitting that he conspired with
other people for the coup and then taking out a gun and blowing
his head off on the senate floor. Also, watching the impending
mutiny transpire over the Submarine had me on the end of my
seat. One last episode next week and I can't see this getting a
proper wrap up. I'm afraid we are going to left with a major
cliffhanger. Sigh.

My biggest fear heading into the last episode of the series was
that of unfinished business. I was so worried that this would
turn into another Las Vegas debacle with no resolution, leaving
the rest of us to wonder "what happened then..." Well, it's safe
to say that this series finale won't be up there with the worst
send-offs ever. It will actually rank up there with one of the
best. Yes, the final 5 minutes was pretty much everything that
would have happened eventually. But ending it the way they do
gives me and the series a swan song that you can feel good
about. I liked the last episode enough to actually say that I
will be picking this up on DVD when it's released. Fantastic and
very entertaining last hour. The acting by all was superb. Yes,
there were a couple of instances in this last episode that were
highly implausible, especially Kylie being able to sneak a gun
past all the President's men and get close enough to actually
kill him. But I don't care about implausibility when I want
resolution for a show that I absolutely love. So, I will let
that slide for sure.
One last thing as I close out this review.....

Hate to do this, but given that this series is now officially in
the books, time for me to move this to TV's Greatest Hits and
Misses, emphasis on Greatest.

I guess I completely missed the boat (so to speak) on this one.
Chip was giving this some major man love.
So did it just end? If this ever came to Netflix, would it be
worth putting in the time?

They had enough time to craft a series finale that wrapped up
everything in a nice bow. It was clearly rushed, meaning they
HAD to do it since there was no other option but to speed up the
process to get us there. For what it is, it's one of the better
series finale given that they were forced into doing just that.
I for sure would watch it again if I ever came across it. If I
saw it on DVD for sale, I'd probably buy it.
