Trivia
The US Navy allowed the production team to film scenes aboard the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers USS Halsey and USS Dewey as well as the USS Iowa museum ship. The destroyers were sailed several days out to sea so that the cameras could shoot 360 degrees without having to worry about coastlines, buildings, and other ships appearing in the background. Many of the sailors in the background were the crews of those ships going about their duties as cameras rolled.

Goofs
There is a missing explanation on the need for the primordial strain. Like most mutations, they were random and various, resulting is possibly 1000's or even millions of different variants. By some chance (or perhaps by design) this process halted. Their only hope was to return to the original strain for a cure/vaccine and hope that it would be able to work with all of the mutations.

80's/90's throwback

I've watched this show since the beginning, though I'm not sure why. It's mediocre at best, but I guess it's better than most other programs on TV. It reminds me alot of those old shows from the 80's and 90's like a Magnum PI or the A-team, with a little Rambo thrown in there. That can be good or bad depending upon your perspective. Episodes are shallow, stories are predictable, and the theme is always America = good guy, the rest of the world = bad guys. Latin America, Russia, China are the most prominent targets, which again is reminiscent of Rambo or Schwarzenegger 90's flicks.

I'm glad this is the final season, b/c the show has declined steadily since season 1, which was definitely the best.
