I think the difference between the President and Dr. Scott is fairly simple. The President killed his daughters. Yes, no question. Did he do it maliciously? No. He did it to end their suffering. No different then when Dr. Scott gave that shot of morphine to the guy dying on the Italian Cruise Ship. But he didn't happen to have morphine available to him. Dr. Scott killed Niels in cold blood for no other reason than she felt he needed to die. But the difference is IMO for Cmdr. Chandler is this. The President was in Florida when he killed his children. There are no witnesses. No evidence and the President (who wasn't even the President then) wasn't under Chandler's jurisdiction when it happened. Niels died on the NJ with two witnesses, O'Connor and Miller. Did Niels deserve to die? Hell yes. Could he have been used to fight the propaganda war? Maybe. But IMO the Cmdr. was actually talking about using Niels to explain what had happened. Why the virus had jumped from a Phase 2 to a Phase 6 pandemic. To make him accountable and thereby flushing the immune theories down the toilet. Plus, the ship's crew and divided on how they feel about it. That doesn't work. They need good order and dicipline to survive and do the important work they need to do. And Chandler telling her she would face trial on land was smart too. The crew is divided. Most would not be able to serve on a jury as impartial jurists. They are all biased about her. Chandler was trying to uphold the ideals of the Navy, the Military and US by not passing judgement on her. He is hardly impartial either. A civilian jury is the only way to ensure that she does receive a fair trial. I know less than nothing about the military, I never served and I don't know anyone who has. So the things that bother most here about the show don't even register with me. I enjoy the story, the characters and the action. Can't wait for Season 3.

There is still so much to do. Currency is a big thing. Me? I'd head to the Federal Reserve or Fort Knox or wherever we keep our gold, silver and platinum and secure it and probably bring it to St. Louis for safeguarding and restart our currency tied to gold. A new White House needs to be found. Cabinet members need to be named. Elected officials and elections! I would also head back to DC and get the Constitution and bring it back. Same with other important documents in the archives. I'd secure the Pentagon and any tech and info there that might be necessary. Same with NORAD. If they seriously can't get into that bunker in the White House I think it needs to be destroyed. The same with the Pentagon. First off it is too big of a symbol to let it remain there for some warlord to declare himself the President and move in. Second having those rotting bodies inside? Gross. The free world has only one ship, The Nathan James, in dry dock undergoing repairs to protect it from rogue groups. Teams need to be sent out to find other working ships and crews must be trained. Fire and Police must be trained and put to use. Communications have to be reestablished. Hospitals, doctors, nurses, judges etc... It might even be beneficial to try to get the population of the US to move to the midwest and St. Louis. At least until the US Government is firmly established. Then people can be sent back out to the other cities complete with trained police, fire, doctors, nurses to repopulate those cities. And it also makes it more likely that everyone will have received the vaccine/cure. One ship isn't going to be enough to take on whatever obstacles are out there in the rest of our country much less the rest of the world. They can't cure the rest of the world without encountering just as many problems as they did curing this small portion of the US. There will still be some who want to control the cure in their countries and cities, or even destroy it. So no I don't think the show is done. I'm glad there will be a third season and hopefully more after that. Their initial mission is complete yes. But that doesn't mean they are done. Just because the cure has been found doesn't mean the world is all better. It is a mess and someone needs to start fixing it. Unfortunately the crew of The Nathan James is the only military and pseudo police force that exists right now. Their job is far from done.
