Rush Limbaugh Makes it onto the TNT action series, “The Last Ship”!

The Last Ship ^ | September 24, 2017

Rush Limbaugh made it onto Episode 7 of the current Season 4 of the TNT action series, “The Last Ship”! In a shot from the Commanding Officers’ wardroom, which is a key location in the series, one can clearly see Rush’s book, “See, I Told You So.”

When the season started, I was concerned that the series might start falling prey to politically correct writing (e.g., a female member of the Kenyan Navy flirting with a female crew member in the first episode). If word gets out, we’ll see if someone removes the book for next season.

I love to find unexpected “Easter eggs.” On the CW network show, “Legends of Tomorrow,” I was on the verge of dropping the show from my to-watch list just for the bad writing. Then, on one episode, the characters went back in time to the 1970s to drop in on a college professor. In the dark background of the professor’s office, for a fraction of a second, I saw a dart board with President Gerald Ford’s picture on it. The director could not help taking a dig at probably the least controversial Republican president of the late 20th Century. That was my last episode.

First season was good. Love Rhona Mitra

The gal they have on now: is it my imagination or does she always look like her face is coated in wax?

I wrote him about this on September 25th:

Subject: Your book shown on The Last Ship tv series

Hi Rush:

Not sure if anyone has written to you yet about this, but I figured I'd give it a shot in case you hadn't heard about it. I'm just starting to watch the most recent episode of The Last Ship, which airs on TNT on Sunday nights. You may even watch it yourself. I record everything I watch on my DVR. Two minutes into the episode (Season 4, Episode 7 titled "Feast), Tom Chandler is pictured in front of a glass bookcase. Inside the case are a group of hard-back books without their covers. I got curious, and stopped the recording, then back-tracked to see if I could read the titles of any of the books as I'm an avid reader. Your book "See I Told You So" is the third one from the left, snuggled in between Dale Brown's "Strike Force" and James Patterson's "Alex Cross's Trial". Unfortunately, Bill Clinton's book "My Life" is next to Patterson's book. I guess they felt compelled to put that in there. Next to Clinton's book is "Point of Origin" by Patricia Cornwall, book 9 in her Dr. Kay Scarpetta series. Yours is the only book I've read inside that bookcase.

Thanks for all you do. I've been listening to you since Desert Storm.

“When the season started, I was concerned that the series might start falling prey to politically correct writing...”

No it fell to a crappy story line that is just stupid.

Yeah, I have some nits to pick with it as well. Now, as a disclaimer, I like the series. But c'mon, here, let's look at a big hole in the premise: the U.S. Navy has over 450 ships, but the Nathan James is the only one still manned? And the rest are just bobbing around the global waters, derelict? No Brits? No French? Not even a U.S. Coast Guard cutter? Yet, they can always find a Russian or Greek warship, or a rogue sub to tangle buttholes with? That aspect of it is a mile wide and an inch deep. That whole 'We were in the Arctic' CYA is being stretched to the breaking point. If 80% of the planet's population were killed off, then by virtue of basic mathematics (and a little Kentucky windage), there should be roughly 90 naval vessels still manned in some form or fashion.

Velleck cracks me up.

Fine performance by Peter Weller.

[Viking2002]

Weller is one of those scenery-chewing actors who are just compelling to watch. He’s got that whole William Shatner/Malcolm McDowell thing going for him. Hard to watch him in TLS and realize he was Buckaroo Banzai and Robocop thirty-plus years ago.

Grave-dogging old posts a bit here, but I thought for a bit that The Last Ship had just jumped the SJW shark because of the inordinate focus on a lesbian romantic relationship to start the 2018 season. It was like they kept focusing on that relationship and none of the straight ones, and I was getting sick of it. Not that I really cared about the romantic relationships period, because that's not the focus of the show. But the lesbian agenda was aggravating.

Then it gets revealed that the lesbian lover was a huge traitor who stabbed the U.S. in the back, and then stabbed (and killed) her naval officer girlfriend.

And I will admit to getting a chuckle at how much that must have ticked off any lefties who watch that show....
