.....but then I was doing the channel-surfing thing and came across this episode called TIME TO SHINE which was being broadcast on a CBS affiliate from Albany, Georgia. Under the leadership of Master Chief Petty Officer Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz), that lovable commando outfit Bravo Team locates a suspicious bunch of cargo from Iran, after which they are extracted off the coast of North Korea. Upon reaching the assigned Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine U. S. S. Booker T. Washington, the SEALs have to use the torpedo tubes to board the sub as there is a fault with the lock-out chamber and why wasn't it fixed before the voyage? Anyhoo, one of the seals named Sonny Quinn (A. J. Buckley) would have to be the last to crawl inside the torpedo tube when it malfunctions and traps him inside. The water keeps rising, and the boys in Bravo Team can't get him out of there even though there's a serious leak that will cause him to drown. And that's because adding to the problem, there's a (expletive deleted) North Korean submarine bearing down on them, so the submarine commander (played by Michael McGrady) has no other choice but to order silent running, and that means shutting off the air conditioning and the power to the torpedo tube that has poor Sonny inside. Which means his rescue has to be postponed, and if that means he has to drown, well, that's the way the ball bounces. The safety of the sub's crew takes priority. Well, Master Chief Hayes comes up with a bright idea to fake out the North Korean sub and send if off in another direction. The idea works, and Sonny's life is saved. Looks like I'm going to have to watch all the episodes of SEAL TEAM if this nerve-racking episode is any indication. This was a good one. Tell you what, though, I half expected Emily Deschanel to show up. But that's just me.
