    They definitely need to get some new writers.
    Argh! I haven't got that far yet! That's OK.....

    SWCC are studs. They are not second-place SEALs; they are freaking varsity in their own right. That character started out that was for sure but is seems as the series progresses he turns more into clown shoes.

    The series is totally unfaithful to the Clancy brand and legacy. And it is heading in the wrong direction. Not saying it is horrible TV, just that it’s not Clancy. Compare Clear and Present Danger to this last season.

    It's that simple.

    I think after Clancy died (and even before when he was ghostwriting with that other author) his 'brand' started going downhill. I think if you read them as stand-alones or without context, they are OK, but in context to his library, the later stuff just doesn't measure up.

    The book on SSNs was good, but the slide I think started with Executive Orders. Red Rabbit was attempt to get the old mojo back, but the next book, Teeth of the Tiger I don't even remember.

    Not well done. They could not find stock footage of the US Embassy in Moscow? I could have sent them some.

    Then many technical detail errors and other silliness, like imaging sats in geo orbit? And a PNG'ed ambassador has the pull to get an anti-sat weapon deployed? And JR travels for DOS on an official passport not a Dip one?

    On the other hand I watched SEAL Team this week and they guy was rattling off facts about HK weapons in the cage with precision.

    That whole thing was messed up, like the speech about how Uber didn't get passed BUDs and ended up SWCC, those guys go through tough training too and are some bad ass dudes. You're not demoted to SWCC because you didn't passed BUDs, you choose SWCC or SEAL path as far as I know. Then him leaving his boat, and what about the coms thing?! If a little water killed the coms SOF used, no one would have any coms! There was a lot of stuff like that in this season. They're getting a bit lazy it seems. Season 1 was solid, 2 is more 7/10 so far.

    Loved the first season. Enjoying some of the storyline and characters of the second.

    But the writing is not good. And Krasinski seems to not be enjoying his job in it.

    I thought the same thing about the coms. Pretty sure you can buy waterproof gear at Walmart.
