‘The Last Ship’ Series Finale: A ‘Brutal Fight to End the War’ (VIDEO)
Preview
TNT’s Naval action adventure series The Last Ship finishes out its five-year tour of duty on Sunday, November 11, with U.S. forces ready to invade Gran Colombia.
“They were going to invade Panama, but there were too many forces aligned there,” series creator Steven Kane tells TV Insider ahead of the series finale. “So they decided to go for the kill and take out the king.”
The invasion is the final battle in the season-long war between the United States and a messianic Columbian known as Tavo (Maurice Compte), who had dreams of uniting South and Central America to conquer the U.S. and take down the man he blames for his country’s woes: Naval Commander Tom Chandler (Eric Dane).
“Episode 10 is all about the invasion; it’s D-Day,” says Kane. “The season began with Pearl Harbor — the attack on Mayport (where the remaining ships of a decimated U.S. navy were harbored) — and ends with D-Day. We can expect a brutal fight to end the war.” And, of course, the series.
Check out a sneak peek at the episode below, and return to TV Insider for a post-mortem chat with Steven Kane after the finale.

Looking forward to the finale. I really enjoyed the first two seasons. The third was okay, too. Fourth season was pretty much a snooze, plot-wise. The ship scenes were the only reason to watch. This fifth season has been pretty good, though. Obviously a lot of change during the time jump between last season and this one. But the storyline is pretty good, and of course, the action is too.
Kudos to everyone involved with this show!

The Last Ship was a great series. WAS being the key word. Did the writers get replaced during the long hiatus between this season and last? I managed to watch three episodes of this season and then just couldn't stand it any longer.

Ironically, the fifth season was filmed immediately after they finished filming the fourth season. So basically, while we were enjoying watching the fourth season (the one in Greece), they had probably just finished up, or were in the process of finishing up, filming the finale. So there WAS no hiatus between the seasons. And probably the same writers, too.
