Trivia
The ancient palm seeds in question are identified as being an extinct species (save for these seeds) called Elaeis Virilis, which is a fictional species. Elaeis, however, is a real genus of plants that contain two species called the oil palms. The first species, E. guineensis, also called the African oil palm is mostly found in west and southwest Africa, and is an important plant scientifically, it has had it's entire genome sequenced and has been shown to have promising potentials for being used as a disease resistant crop. The other species, E. oleifera, is the American oil palm and is found in Central and South America, ranging from Honduras to northern Brazil.

Goofs
As both an officer with the rank of Ensign and the ship's Chief Medical Officer Doc Rios outranks Command Master Chief Jeter, in fact when it comes to medical matters the CMO of a ship outranks everyone, including the Captain. If he suspected that Jeter was injured during the storm it would have been protocol for him to order Jeter to submit for an examination if Jeter refused to come to sickbay voluntarily.

Jumping sharks

Episode 7 of season 4 of "The Last Ship" may be a feast, but it has little fun and less food to munch on than necessary for a show to be entertaining. On top of that, we get to know Dr. Vellek's plans for humanity, and, of course, they are so over-the-top and been-there- done-that that the writers should be sent to sleep without dinner.

The Nathan James crew goes in search of Giorgio, thinking that he and his secret room may help Chandler & co. to find where Dr. Vellek's secret laboratory is. In the respite moments between bullets flying and the techno party, we get Peter Weller munching through his silly dialogue and creating another one of those I-am-god characters that seem to be so popular.

The Nathan James's mission is... well, OK. Bullets fly, Giorgio is fun to be with, things happen and extras fall all around with glee and energy. But it falls back into the bang-bang with no purpose. Worse is Vellek's exposition of his crazy plan, one of those moments so ridiculous that you expect the actor to look at the camera and wink.

I don't know if the Nathan James can jump sharks. But it is trying to.
