No offense to the makers of this show and to those who enjoy it, and thanks for making the pilot free on iTunes and other places as well - but really didn't like it. Overly cliched and jingoistic, as many have noted it's really like watching a 1990's Michael Bay movie. Crimson Tide with a destroyer instead of a submarine. Won't be sticking with this, hope it fares well.

No offence to you but this show is not like that  as it deals with a  viral outbreak that has cost  the lives of millions of people on this planet  there is no government to speak of anymore  but the  Last navy Vessel ship has  the only  Doctor  who is  trying to make a cure and they are trying to survoive the best they can  and  well any survivors from other nation will do  and stop at nothing to get it for themselves   so it is  a bit of everything but   still orginal  to itself

Glad you enjoy it. I know what it's about as I watched the pilot plus read the summary of the book. Original is not the first word i'd use to describe anything about the book or the show, and how i perceive the presentation is entirely up to me: and i think it's a bunch of cliches. But there's no accounting for taste and of course it could evolve into something more interesting given time.

The Book came out in 1988 long before  your cliches you mention from 90s  movies

Not sure how they are even calling this related to the book since it's totally different. One dealt with a nuclear war that obliterated civilization and the "ship" and it's crew trying to rebuild humanity etc. The show is about a virus, and a virus...that's it so far.

Those cliches have existed long before 1988, but let's not debate this too much. I don't like this show and have no intention of watching it, but i won't come into this thread to make people who do like it feel bad. Have fun and hope it gets renewed for multiple seasons.

It is officially based on that book...so it's not me calling it that, it's the producers of the show itself. I'm aware the original was a cold war thriller (sounds like On the Beach) while this one is a virus scare. Since there's a REAL virus scare going on right now in our world, not really in the mood for the subject matter as entertainment at the moment. But yes, i've made my point that i think this show is a waste of time and money and completely trite, there's no need for me to say anything further in a thread dedicated to people who enjoy it.

 

EDIT: sorry LOC, just noticed you said "they". Totally agree, i also am not sure why they chose to base it on that book rather than treat it as an original story

That last episode was really stupid.

 

The part where the wind came up right after they said amen after praying was STUPID!.

Apparently if you are weak from lack of water, just seeing an island that has water is enough to give you your strength back.

It appears that once again only black people can actually sing.

I'm out, too clich? for me. Russian villain, Russian spy aboard the US ship, unvetted "bad ass" being assigned to crew etc etc it goes on and on.

 

At least they included Russians in the show. In the book they are stalked (kinda) by a Russian sub after the nuclear war, then eventually team up and restart humanity together. I'm pretty sure nothing like that is going to happen in the show lol

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
