This week's Last Resort had Lt. Grace Shepherd in the hot seat as she became captain of a "Skeleton Crew" during an emergency repair mission.  In a thrilling turn of events, a power player ended up dead and it wasn't who viewers expected.

Our Last Resort Round Table team of TV Fanatic staffers Jim Garner and Christine Orlando are joined once again by Andrew of Film Geek Radio's Dispatches From Sainte Marina podcast to decide if James and Tani have staying power, whether Christine and Kylie are up for the fight, and if Captain Chaplin is too close to the edge.

-------------------------------------------

1.  What was your favorite scene?

Andrew:  I really liked watching Grace come into her own as temporary captain of the Colorado. It's been a few episodes since we saw some good ol' fashioned torpedo dodging, and watching those nukes spin up is always suspenseful. She's a good tactician, »

No one likes to be "Voluntold." For those of you in the dark about that title, it's a military slang term. If you don't volunteer, well, you'll be voluntold.

This week, our Last Resort Round Table team of TV Fanatic staffers Jim Garner, Carla Day and Christine Orlando are joined by Andrew of Film Geek Radio's Dispatches From Sainte Marina podcast to debate if they would high tail it back home or stick with their Captain.

-------------------------------------------

What was your favorite scene from the episode?

Andrew: I really liked the climactic showdown between Chaplin and Brannan. It was a bit heavy-handed, but it perfectly encapsulated so much of what the show is about. Brannan, like most of the show's characters, is acting in what he thinks is in the best interests of his friends, colleagues and nation. The reason Last Resort is working so well right now is that it's »

James Westby is an independent filmmaker in Portland, Oregon. His feature films include Film Geek (2006), The Auteur (2008) and Rid of Me (2011). As a filmmaker, I am increasingly excited for the vast audience the web and on demand services can bring to an independent movie - mine or anyone else's - with a reach far larger than was ever thought possible. But at the same time, I lament the dying of the independent video store, a place where I spent my youth - and much of my adulthood. When I was a boy in Grays Harbor County, Washington, the video store was my version of a repertory movie house. Aside from a lot of (mostly) amazing horror (Romero's Martin and Raimi's Evil Dead were my sister's and my favorites), this is the institution that gave me This is Spinal Tap (my family's first-ever rental title), the masterful Repo Man, and my »

Film geek scoop of the day: Harrison Ford is apparently in early talks to appear in Ridley Scott's new "Blade Runner" movie.

One imagines he would be back as the iconic Rick Deckard, though, of course, that's mere speculation at this point. A "Blade Runner" sequel is at least two years away from coming to fruition, and nothing has been set in stone, including Ford's possible casting.

But if he is involved in Scott's new take on the "Blade Runner" universe, then there's a lot of ways it could play out.

First off: Is Deckard a replicant, or is he not? Purveyors of all 27 director's and producer's cuts will be aware of the long running discussion, sparked by Scott and Ford's "is he or isn't he" flip-flopping through decades of interviews, commentaries, and sly asides. If Ford shows up as an older, grey-haired Deckard, that would seem to suggest no; after all, »
