I've be watching the TV show, the last ship. In the ship's radio room, it appears that a CAP communications badge is on the wall. Its located by the room's doorway just to the left of the door. I figured some of our radio folks might find it interesting.
Search is your friend. You're about two months late to this party.

Lighten up, Francis! Or tell him in a PM.
My apologies. I did conduct a search without any results. Perhaps my search terms were incorrect.
I keep missing that part. Popcorn habit interferes with TV viewing so a 'intervention' may be needed. ???

Ayup, but that would be called a 'hatch', not a door.... ;D
There is also a duplicate on the entrance side of the hatch so there's at least two of the comm shields. There is something written in white in the blue field near the top I haven't been able to make out. Yet.

As far as the finale, I can't decide if it was an homage to Soylent Green or a blatant ripoff. If it was an homage, it was pretty cool. If a ripoff, quite disappointing as yet another "Government is Evil" Hollywood procedural.

I got Soylent Green vibes as well, if not a bit different in concept. Not sure on the "evil" government. The person in charge isn't really an elected anything...
Edit: By the way, if anyone is into the "post-apocalyptic" genre, pick up the book. I saw that they made a new edition since the show was coming out. It's a completely different situation, and at this point the show is 100% different, but the book is a good read. Mild adult content within however, so anyone who hasn't been through high school health class should probably skip a few steamy pages.

And that would be incorrect. Contrary to popular belief, that's not a hatch.
Here's the rule - doors go through vertical surfaces (walls, bulkheads), and hatches go through horizontal surfaces (decks, overheads). In addition, there are two flavors of doors - watertight doors, and joiner doors. The former is self explanatory - there's a gasket and locking mechanism to keep the water out. The latter is a simple door, like you would have at home, to allow access through walls that divide a compartment into smaller areas. These are typically only used in spaces well above the waterline.
Oh, and there are also watertight openings, usually round, called scuttles, which go through horizontal or vertical surfaces, and allow alternate escape paths from compartments.
