As you all know, The Last Ship is one of my favorite series ever. The first season wowed me and the second just made me love it even more! But this season, well, I was mad when they killed off Rachel's character. Ugh! I mean, why would they do that? Rachel was like the center of it all but they killed her. I was so so so frustrated by the end of the second season and I was hoping they would revive Rachel's character but they didn't! But, now I get why they had to do it and actually it made the show better. (I can't believe I just said that!)

[Warning: This review contains some spoilers!]

After discovering the cure in the first season and fighting their way to distribute it in the second, the third season focuses on further healing the sick world. Tom Chandler is now the Chief of Naval Operations appointed by President Michener. Mike Slattery becomes the new Captain of Nathan James and the other crews stay aboard except Kara Foster, now Kara Green, who takes a job in St. Louis as Deputy Chief of Staff. She and Danny also have a son now, Frankie. We also have new characters like Sasha Cooper, a former Navy Intelligence Officer now operating under diplomatic cover in China for the newly reformed U.S. government and Takehaya, a former Japanese Navy officer and legendary pirate captain in post-plague Asia, who is affected by Peng's poison that neutralizes the effect of the cure. Peng is the new leader of China, the now enemy of Tom and his crew because he wants to gain control of all Asia. We also have Allison Shaw, the Chief of Staff of President Michener, and the other regional leaders who later plot the death of Michener because they want to gain control of the federal government.

This season was really action packed and the turn of events were unpredictable. Tom went back aboard Nathan James after someone tried to kill him in China and right that moment Mike and some of his crew were ambushed in some thank you party in Indonesia. It happened simultaneously so by the time Tom was back in Nathan James, Mike and the others were held hostage by some pirates. Later we found out that these pirates were led by Takehaya.

But all throughout the season we also lost some good characters, starting with Val who I grew to love in the first episode. Then there was Mason when Mike and the others were held hostage by Takehaya. By the end of the season we also lost Tex, oh my god Tex! I was happy when I found out he was back and seeing him in action again was exciting. But, but, but! In the end he was killed, trying to save Tom from Shaw. Huhu :"(

This season may not be my favorite but it surely was thrilling and action packed! I loved the new characters and the story kept on getting better. And as if finding the cure and distributing it to the world weren't enough, Tom and his crew must also save Asia and now America from the hands of greedy leaders.

I really thought Allison Shaw could be trusted, that she shared the same vision as President Michener but no, she was a one big fat liar and a scary beach! At first my sister and I thought that Alex Rivera was the traitor but it turned out that Shaw was the bad guy. Grr. And because of her Tex died!!!!

Anyway, it'll be a long wait until the fourth season (2017) and I can't wait to find out what happens next! Tom can't leave Nathan James for good because he just can't! First they killed Rachel and then Tex and now Tom is leaving. But I know they have something else up on their sleeves for the next season. 

TV Series: The Last Ship (2014) Season 2

 ★★★★★/★★★★★
 

 Main Characters:

Eric Dane as CDR Tom Chandler

Rhona Mitra as Dr. Rachel Scott

Adam Baldwin as CDR Mike Slattery 

The second season continues with Capt. Chandler teaming up with Thornwald in taking over the government facility in Baltimore under the direction of Granderson (Alicia's mom) after realizing what they are really doing to the people. Meanwhile, the crew of Nathan James fights to reclaim control of their ship after Granderson's men also took possession of it. The story gets better when Neils found a group of people who think they are "the chosen" ones because they are immune to the virus and they plan on taking over the world. 

The series is really getting better and better every season. I just hate the ending of season two. Such a cliffhanger! Now I have to wait til next year to find out what will happen to Dr. Scott. 

 My two favorite characters, Captain Tom Chandler and Lieutenant Danny Green :")

 Hi, Captain! :)

TV Series: The Last Ship (2014) Season1

 ★★★★★/★★★★★

 Main Characters:

Eric Dane as CDR Tom Chandler

Rhona Mitra as Dr. Rachel Scott

Adam Baldwin as CDR Mike Slattery 

I regret watching this show just now because it's amazing! I should've watched it the first time it was aired last year. Too bad I have a lot on my list but since all the shows I've been watching are still on going and updating, I had the chance to start a new one. And I'm glad I decided to watch this series. The story, the characters, everything is perfect and I loved how the story started. It only has 10 episodes so I was able to finish it in one day. It's a little short for me so I'm really looking forward to Season 2! I wonder how Capt. Chandler and his crew will face the sick world now that they have the cure and how far they are willing to go to protect it from new enemies.

Synopsis: (Wikipedia)

Now here's the trailer for Season 2:
