I passed on this show when it was on the air; it always seemed like a wannabe Star Trek. I'm watching it now on Netflix, and I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I'm about 2/3 through the first episode, and I'm already annoyed by one thing:
WHY DO THEY KEEP CALLING THEIR SUBMARINE A BOAT? A boat goes ON TOP of the water. Not under. Not to mention the fact that boats are small, (unless they're in-land, where technically, any sized craft qualifies as a boat). It seems like they're using the word on purpose instead of calling it a ship or sub. Is there a reason for this that I'm missing? I'm giving this thing the rest of the pilot and maybe one or two more episodes, but so far, not feeling to bad that I skipped it the first time around.

- I don't quite understand myself, but a sub is always a boat NEVER a ship. Don't ask me why, but that's how it has always been.You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
- I'm doing the same thing with Netflix and in one of the earlier episodes they even clarified it with the line "A boat is something that can be carried on a ship, therefore this is a ship"
Yet the still call it a boat...it would have been better if they referred to it as a DSV or something.
Oh and season 2 completely sucks and if you actually watch season 3, it was aired out of order and watch "Brainlock" BEFORE "Spindrift"You must be registered and logged in to post a message.
