The Last Ship tv show and Ebola....

So....huge fan of the new show The Last Ship here. Anyone think this is an odd coincidence that it is about something that wipes civilization out and is a current show?

No. No coincidence. Just more propaganda.

They just went with a more realistic theme vs. the zombie apocalypse...FANTASTIC show...

yeah,, guess thats not enough reason.

224 million. reasons.

The Last Ship is but one of several shows recently or currently on TV tackling the subject matter. Helix was a recent program on the SyFy network and The Strain is currently running on the FX network.

Do I think this means anything? No, but sometimes coincidences can be interesting. Oh and the Simpsons did it.

Never heard of it. Is it a US network show? I have FIOS and rarely watch network tv anymore. What station what night?

It is based on a book from 1988. Instead of a disease in the book it is a nuclear war between the USSR and US. A pandemic worked better for the TV show so they can have a chance of fixing things where as in the book they just look for a place to live and have babies.

Funny how the simpsons also had something sinilar on the front of a magazine for 9/11 also!

As for the show in question id say coinidence! Ebola has been around for a long time after all .

August 10th at 8:00 PM TNT network. Is the next show.

I knew I'd find something already here on ATS!

What I find interesting, are the similarities in the disease on the show and what we are seeing now. Of course, this is a popular theme and yes...both Ebola and the concept have been around and hashed over for a long time. However...now that the season is over and there were more revelations in the source of the virus (on the show), I DO find it provoking.
