Kinda funny that he gets hurt while actually doing stuff in the wild that doesn't involved intentionally doing retarded and dangerous poo poo for cameras.

Dear "Destroyed in Seconds", SpikeTV has shown that clip of the motel fire with the ceiling collapsing on those firefighters at least a dozen times. Now you are. It's the same with all of your clips. You suck, please replace your timeslot with anything else.

That's too bad, I was hoping for the classic crazy gimmick final season to milk the ratings one last time, like "Survivorman: Urban Jungle". I'd totally watch another 13 episodes of Les being dropped off in the middle of Compton or damaged New Orleans or something, rolling over dead bums to get their whiskey and setting traps for pigeon dinners.

Noghri_ViR posted:Has anyone said what's Les is doing next? Did he just get tired of getting sick and hungry all the time for the cameras? Yea, basically. He said that lugging around 50 lbs. of camera gear while starving for a week really takes its toll on a person after awhile. I'm really going to miss the show, but I'm glad he's stopping now while the quality is good. I'd hate to see him just do arbitrary poo poo to boost ratings for another season. In reality, over the course of all three seasons, he's pretty much done all the classic scenarios anyone is likely to encounter. We've pretty much covered all of basic survival training, so there's not much left to show. According to an article I read last week, he's actually been credited with saving two people's lives. One was a Canadian guy whose snowmobile ran out of gas. He survived for a few days by eating snow to stay hydrated. He managed to use visual clues and get himself to safety after a few days.

I felt like it was a pretty bad episode for Les -- what with the making GBS threads and vomiting for days. Add to that no food, and he must have been in misery. He seemed very subdued for the show. I'll miss you Les! Happy trails wherever they lead.

The being sick part wasn't so great, but I think from what he said, the experience of being able to film with those people and take part in their ceremony meant a lot to him, especially since it was his final episode. When he was by the river and those two villagers came walking up to him holding machetes?... It looked like they were coming to kill him. Queue Les never being found but his camera and tapes are.

Isn’t Les the same guy that would go live with a random Tribe for a few weeks at film the entire thing? I really want to see new episodes of that since it was always a interesting watch.

37ArmsToBind posted:Witnessing Mike Rowe slaughter a shark has killed a part of me. I was just laughing at how many times they took a break to say "Look, just so you know, we don't mindlessly slaughter sharks for fun, she was hurt and we need to do this to learn more about this species. DON'T WORRY! They're plentiful and not endangered in any way." "Now cut out her eye, and slice off a piece of the spine." "By the way, can we get your boss over here to explain why this is OK?" Cue explanation again. Everyone knows that it's wrong to mindlessly slaughter animals for entertainment. But they were on a scientific expedition and it was the reason they were there. I could've done without the PETA-don't-sue-us bullshit every 5 minutes. Understeer posted:My local cable company finally picked up Discovery Channel HD. Will Planet Earth be rebroadcast anytime in the near future, or did I miss the boat? Saw a commercial for it tonight during Dirty Jobs.

Discovery only runs the Sigourney Weaver narrated version. If you want the british ones you'll have to get the disks.
