Wikipedia (yes I know the warnings) article on Last Resort

Interesting concept, but I'm getting a little tired of the DoD or CIA being the rogue bad guys in conspiracy shows. Will someone have something new like the BATF bing the rogue government agency. Well someone other than Obama and Holder or Clinton and Reno.

The concept is very interesting. Some omissions:

1. There was no scene in which whites and asian guys are utterly puzzled by some fantastic electronic wizardry and then rescued by a very black guy. Usually the remedy is delivered by Da Bro without a sweat and with very rich aplomb. Everybody stands around, totally amazed and utterly uncomprehending if Da Bro explains any of it to them.

—think radar is jammed, and then Flava Flave unjams it, astonishing all—

2. A strong white guy has to break down, scared or crying, with the brave solution delivered by some incredibly professional, strong (yet sexy) woman.

PS - They ripped off the idea from “Silent Fleet”, from Japan.

This and Crimson Tide and unrealistic IMHO.

There is no room for error on a Ballistic Missile Submarine.

We ran through practice runs about 2-3 times a week. They often came on Sundays and holidays.

"Man Battle Stations Missile for WSRT. Spin up all missiles"

After practicing it hundreds of times, an actual launch would proceed like clockwork.
