In an attempt to end the standoff on Sainte Marina, Marcus and Sam enter into tense negotiations with the U.S. Government.Download Video Last Resort Skeleton Crew Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video.

Over a radio channel, designed only to be used if their homeland has been wiped out, they're told to fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan. Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) demands confirmation of the orders only to be unceremoniously relieved of duty by the White House. XO Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman) finds himself suddenly in charge of the submarine and facing the same difficult decision. When he also refuses to fire without confirmation of the orders, the Colorado is targeted, fired upon, and hit. The submarine and its crew find themselves crippled on the ocean floor, declared rogue enemies of their own country. Now, with nowhere left to turn, Chaplin and Kendal take the sub on the run and bring the men and women of the Colorado to an exotic island. Here they will find refuge, romance and a chance at a new life, even as they try to clear their names and get home.
Last Resort returned tonight with yet another great episode in “Voluntold”, and it started out with a bit of a misdirect. I’ve mentioned in previous reviews how this show is going to come up with an excuse to get the crew back in the submarine every episode, and this time we see that they’re still running drills! I was just as surprised as the malcontent crew members that they were still going through the motions like this, so it was no surprise that some crewmen wanted to sign up to get off the boat.
The crew of the Colorado has been on the island for a week, and a bunch of people are starting to get restless. These ill feelings come to a head when somebody tried to kill the captain, saying he got the order from a higher authority. We soon find out that this higher authority was the Secretary of Defense himself, and I’m sure he’ll come into play in a big way in upcoming episodes.
This episode focused a lot more on Brannan and Cortez then I thought it would. I thought at first that these were one-off characters who would get captured and rescued, but they’re really getting developed pretty nicely.
Sam interviews the two of them about their captivity, and they didn’t say much at all. Brannan didn’t say anything about getting Redman killed, and Cortez didn’t say anything about whatever she did with Julian to persuade him. Sam did approach her to try to convince the female enlisted to stay, so it’s good to see his trust in her.
Speaking of Sam, he and Sophie still have their weird little flirtation going on. It looks at this point like Sam doesn’t feel the same way as Sophie does about him, so I’d be interested to see where this goes since both of them are spoken for.
Meanwhile, back on the mainland, Christine Kendall is stuck in her house feeling sad about Sam. Paul, Sam’s lawyer friend from college that we met in episode two, comes to her house to try to get himself closer to her, but instead she goes outside and leads an anti-government rant to all of the news cameras in her front yard! Jessy Schram hasn’t had much to do this season, so it was good to see her get to go nuts on a surveillance van!
Elsewhere in D.C., Kylie found out that her dad was partially responsible for giving away the plans for the Perseus, saying he was told to by the president. She then meets with Admiral Shepard, and tells him that the Perseus has an automatic back-up feature that transmits positioning data of the Colorado whenever it’s used.
This means that the location of the submarine was transmitted prior to the weapon being fired, and apparently the government does not want that information getting out. Kylie isn’t a necessarily likable character thus far in this series, so I’m hoping that her likely meet-up with Christine will help both of those characters get fleshed out a little bit.
I started watching this show on my I-Phone ABC television app during my lunch break at work. I was floored by the action and excitement of the show. Even on that tiny screen the drama was palpable, so much so I was nearly late going back to work. I am totally impressed with this show.
All of the characters are interesting and the cast is excellent. This is a show that keeps my interest and I look forward to the next episode. Unfortunately, the ratings have not been very good and there is a good chance it might not last the season.
