After a few months in the Arctic while Scott is on the ice doing research, some men attack them. They get back to the ship and the Commander, Tom Chandler asks the doctor what's going on.

Trivia
In June 2016, before a screening of the season three premiere in Washington, DC, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus presented the producers, cast and crew with the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award. The honor reflected the show's accomplishment of, in Secretary Mabus's words, "getting the Navy right." While its a fictional portrayal of a Navy ship and crew, Mabus praised the show's ability to capture the culture of the Navy and the dedication of its people to their core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment.

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.

It's probably really not worth an 8, but I'm just so impressed that they actually made this season so much better than last season. Boy, that was a stinker. I only started watching this one because nothing else was on. What a pleasant surprise. To be honest though ... super cheesy, but I'm okay with that so long as I go in expecting it to be that way. Totally unbelievable, but honestly I find pretty much all shows are especially the one's everyone else says are believable.
