After releasing the video of the Captain saying they got the orders through the secondary line, wouldn't the President be on top of the situation?
Not necessarily.

Yeah if your President is
then maybe.You're telling me that if you were the Pres and someone says they got an order through a secondary channel to drop a NUKE on another country, that you wouldn't be on top of that? You do know the President is the Commander-in-Chief right? That order has to go through him...

Isn't this a false flag scenario? The Pres is most certainly behind the conspiracy considering U.S. nuclear tactics. If the President doesn't know shyt then that's gonna be a mark on the shows writing.

They went through a secondary channel SO THAT people like the president aren't aware of it. We don't know for sure but it looks like the President had nothing to do with this, and that happens in movies (like Crimson Tide) all the time.

See what I mean. Is that what it comes down to? Either the President knows and is behind it or the President didn't know. If the former, OK I guess that's a workable story line but how would suspicion not get back to the President. For example, if a nuclear bomb dropped on Pakistan tomorrow, YOU, ME, and EVERYONE ELSE would think the order came from the President, true? It has to...So it's hard to be behind a conspiracy when you're the most obvious suspect!
If the latter, OK the President didn't know about the order. Well as a result of the video the captain made at the end of E1, the President now knows that someone somehow sent that order and is probably thankful that the Capt didn't go through with it, right? So, as Commander-in-Chief, he wouldn't send his troops to attack the sub!

I'm enjoying the show right now and I think they probably decided to screw that for entertainment.
Scenario 1 would be more plausible if nukes weren't involved. Say for example a covert mission didn't go according to plan so the Government decides to cut all loose ends, that way the President has plausible deniability. Now with fukkin' nukes...
This is something that probably belongs in the ruin with logic thread.
For all we know the people who sent out the Emergency Action Message from Antarctica are the same people who told the President that the sub should be fired upon and that Chaplin isn't to be trusted.

damn i'm gonna have to rewatch that first episode again. I thought the conspiracy was that the government told the media that pakistan attacked one of their ships/subs which gave them the go ahead to launch the missiles. But there's a lot we dont know about the government in this show, we still dont know who gave the order and why.
- unless this show goes beyond 2 seasons i'm not gonna worry and stress about the details; i'm just gonna enjoy chaplin stylin on these governments.

Need to catch the second episode. This was one of my must watch shows of the new season but I was kind of dissappointed by the first episode but theres a few actors in there I'll watch this for (Autumn Reeser and Andre and Diechen)

I watched both episodes yesterday and I was disappointed. Acting is terrible, the storyline sucks and not very realistic.

Its gonna have no plot but I'll watch
show is fukking retarded as fukk.
for one, the us navy submarines that carry nuclear warheads aka SSBN dont go around picking up Navy Seals.
their only mission and purpose is to hide some where off the coast of country X and be ready if needed to launch at country x. nobody knows where these SSBNs location except for the president. they dont do no fukking shyt like pick up navy seals. fast attack subs do that aka SSN submarines. ssbn is strictly nuclear deterrence.
and at 150 crew members and they want to focus on the fukking XO personel life. like the 150 enlisted crew members dont have families and loves ones. they choose the XO(executive officer), the 2nd highest paid on the boat, the guy that does no fukking work, stand no watches, sit in his stateroom all day and politic about nothing to give the sad pathetic love story. smh.
and that captain that got no clout on his boat

Ep3 link?
That was better than the second episode. The sub scene was pretty tense.
If you read the dialogue between the French chick in the station and the second in command in the sub on a script, you would've thought it was a sex scene.
There's no way the rebels killed that sailor.
