"The Last Ship" was a good concept, and maybe 1/10th of the episodes
were good, with a half, well, a quarter... being watchable.
 
But some were so abysmal they made Presidential Debates look good.

It became a "no show" when they killed off Rhona Mitra. No Mitra, no show!

But how soon you forget that Hot Lesbian Sex Action between,
umm, one of the main characters and her girlfriend on shore (who,
it turned out [SPOILER!] was an enemy spy...)

They did have one good line on teh show I still remember
to this day.  One of the female officers on board is
preparing a decoy torpedo they'll drop in the ocean
to confuse and divert the enemy.

She calls it "Eric".

When her crewmates ask her why she explains it's named
after a boyfriend who claimed to be a lot bigger than
he really was...

Oh, and when they got a visit (I don't recall the reason...)
from a helicopter staffed by two women, and you could tell
these gals knew every inch, bolt, and screw of that "Huey"
the same way Scotty knew and loved his Enterprise...

(We all know some people who treat their cars, Lionel Train
sets, or 100 year old steam powered tractors that same way...)
