norcalgal May 31, 2016 Share May 31, 2016 I keep reading/hearing that the new season begins on June 12, but I just saw episode one titled "The Scott Effect". Was this an accident either by TNT, or my satellite company? Did anyone else besides me see this? And yes, Rachel Scott's fate is clear from this episode. Apologies if my spoiler tag below doesn't work as it should (I'm new to posting on this site). Spoiler And I am NOT a happy camper about what happened to Rachel. It seems even more of a slap in the face when Bridget Regan's character seems to be slotted in from Episode One to take her place as Chandler's new love interest.

mcree May 31, 2016 Share May 31, 2016 My program guide called it a "First Look". So not an accident; something to throw on after the "if necessary" Game 7 and post-game show, after midnight Eastern. Get some extra eyeballs and buzz, hopefully good. Spoiler Unhappy but not surprised with Rachel. Wonder if the perp will be brought to justice, or if they will just drop it and consider it "casualty of war".

norcalgal May 31, 2016 Author Share May 31, 2016 The below is in response to mcree's comments to my post and is definitely a spoiler! Spoiler I highly doubt there will be any follow-up to pursuing Rachel's killer. After all, what would it really serve? It's not as though he's tied into the baddies of this season, and given there are only 13 episodes, again, doubtful TPTB will waste air time. As an aside, I don't follow what's happening in the media with this show, so I wonder if it was Rhona Mitra's decision to exit TLS or the producers/show runners? Does anyone here know?

ramble May 31, 2016 Share May 31, 2016 My DVR recorded a first look 5 minute teaser & then the entire first episode as well. I won't say anything in case it accidentally aired in only a few markets. Although I will allow myself a brief, superficial squeee! for a Wolf sighting.

Crazy8ss June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 Yep, I got it too. It has to be some kind of accident for it to happen at 12:30am EDT. Confused the hell out of me but I'll take it!!

Lonesome Rhodes June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 I got my answer as to why Chandler was wearing Captain insignia. What BS. As weak as the USA is, with exceedingly limited ability to project power, it's a joke that we would even begin to try to take on an Asian conflict. It would be all we could handle to just get the domestic situation up to speed. I did very much appreciate the looser standard of Naval decorum on the NJ. How do you go back to being a stickler for detail when the world changed so radically and no real military threat was known? Chandler pretty much released them from their oaths last season. How do you get that genie back in the bottle? I am glad the show is back. Less will be so much more, if TPTB allows for it.

HalcyonDays June 1, 2016 Share June 1, 2016 Hey Everyone, I'll leave this thread here for now, since many or us haven't seen the episode yet, regardless of country. I've put spoiler tags on the thread to warn people, but until June 6th, could you all spoiler tag what happened anyway (just as you all did). Extra insurance, until June 6th. Big time thanks!
