SEAL Team (TV Series) Payback (2019) User Reviews

Are our elite troops really such barflies?

[lfreepartner · 6/10 · 11 December 2022]

I don't know if they were scheduled off but if I had their job I would not impair myself for a second.

Once in the tavern I would not throw away $100 bills on a game of "pull it off a bottle neck with some coins on top."

Especially since the trick is to do it with only ONE finger. Straight down. So fast you could injure your own hand.

Give me a beer bottle any bill and any stack of coins, a finger and some spit and you will see just how simple it actually. I as to. Do.

Just aim. Your. Fingert I p at a corn e r and swipe down like it's a. Weinstein. Interview and goull6 stupidity u. But what ever.

CALLING GUAM "THE ISLAND OF SUCK"

[sleonguerrero · 3/10 · 18 April 2019]

I am a fan of the show, but this episode, right off the bat gave me a bad taste in my mouth. i am from the island of GUAM, but my parents and wife is from there. my father served 24 years in the MARINES. The Chamorro that have left there home to have the honor of serving our country (we are U.S. citizens), have been regarded as some of the best squadrons to EVER serve in our armed forces. so, i dont think that they would appreciate this reference about their home.

More Bad Writing

[bill-2158 · 1/10 · 1 April 2022]

The ignorance and terrible writing really detract from what otherwise would be a good show.

1. In almost every episode, enlisted personnel refer to Lt. Commander Blackburn as simply "Blackburn" to his face. That doesn't happen. Enlisted people always refer to an officer by his rank or rank plus last name. An officer would not stand for being called simply by his last name by an enlisted person - ever!

Officers don't even call each other by only last name or first name in front of enlisted personnel. Even if they are best friends, they refer to each other by rank and last name in front of enlisted personal, and in any formal situation.

2. Maybe shipboard firefighting has changed since I was in, but the shipboard firefighting training Davis is going through was nothing like the shipboard firefighting training I received. The equipment and procedures are all wrong for shipboard situations, and seem to be drawn from civilian fire fighting.

Again, unless something has drastically changed recently, you don't wear oxygen tanks on your back, because they can get caught as you move through passages, hatches and scuttles on a ship. We wore OBA's (oxygen breathing apparatus) on our chest.

You don't use fire extinguisher bottles that run out in a few minutes when you have a trillion gallons of seawater around you. If you are fighting an aviation-related fire where fuel is involved, you use AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam).

3. Ray's new controversial friend Christine gets transferred from the Philippines to Guam at exactly the same time as Ray, just so they can keep the controversy with her going? Come on. Really?

Hey. Technical advisors! Do your job!
