I did feel a bit ripped off that they ignored pykrete for the big build and did frozen papier mache instead. I wanted my sawdust boat  edit - buildteam sucks.

If he wants, I'm more than happy to complain about that Mythbusters episode. Actually I don't have many specific complaints, other than to say that Alaska week is stupid. build team sucks

the-jam posted:It's a regular series of specials on prisons they're just airing the Alaska episode for the week. They've aired one on an Indiana prison too. It's not some specially made Alaska week program it's not even a premiere for this week it first aired last month. Fair enough, it said 2009 on the channel guide so I assumed it was new.

Yeah, previous Alaska weeks were much better. But I really felt that this weeks Mythbusters was really really weak. Only two myths, and they were only in Alaska too make and try out a frozen boat. Whoop-tee-freaking-do. Its like the thought process went like this: "Hey, we need to do somethign for Alaska week." "OK, how about we do a bunch more Alaska myths, whole crew, go all out?" " NO, I really didn't like it up there last time, too cold" "OK, then lets do the same myths we've planned, but just build the boat in Alaska, that way we don't have to be there for more than , oh 2, maybe 3 days. " " Sounds good to me, lets leave the rest of the guys here too, we don't need them." I'm just not enthused about the myths anymore either, it seems they're trying to hard to stretch it out, really reaching for myths to do.

I just watched last week's deadliest catch, and it was an OK episode. I've been watching for four seasons now, and it's still a cool show, but doesn't mesmerize me to the point where I'd marathon a whole season anymore. The Hillstrands are still nuts, and that's a great thing. The scripting in town I can live with, but I do miss the profanity getting censored with random effects instead of the standard beep. For those of you who want some spoilers, this is the site I have been using since last season's thread, they do have some reporting as the season is being filmed: http://deadliestreports.wordpress.com/ edit: Cutting to the chase about the lost boat: http://deadliestreports.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/cod-processor-katmai-lost-at-sea-near-aleutian-islands/ InsensitiveSeaBass fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Apr 19, 2009 |

hall n oates mom posted:"Executive Producer" is infamous for often being a nebulous courtesy title that's given out to appease certain parties and their interests. You'd be hard pressed to nail down a consistent job description for the role from show to show. The way Drew Carey explained it in his book, on his show "Producer" was just a story editor that got paid more, and "Executive Producer" might as well be "King of the Story Editors".

And those people usually are the ones that design elaborate conveyor belt contraptions to stop escaping planes or something similarly ridiculous. The Alaska week 2 however, was weak. The parts with real pykrete were interesting, but why build a super-sized paper model? Also, the snowplow-myth was brain-damaged, and probably originated from the before-mentioned people.

Does anyone remember the Science Channel documentary about various rare psychoses, like a woman who sees demon faces, another woman who thinks her husband is a man pretending to be her husband, and a man who can't recognize animals or fruis or faces. This sound familiar?

A vicious storm kicks up and a Mayday goes out. The Skippers are glued to their radios - waiting to hear the fate of 11 brother fishermen in distress on another boat. So it sounds like whatever happens isn't on one of the main boats that the show follows -- at least for this week.

I still maintain that if something that major had gone down on one of the show's primary boats, there's no way it would have stayed quiet for this long. It's not like these vessels exist in a news vacuum during the 9 months of the year that Deadliest Catch isn't on the air.

In case no one caught it, the helicopter flew down to an island 250 miles form the Katmia, refueled, and then went out searching from there

My impression was that he was dead, which is why they blurred it so heavily. I assumed it was because the family told them to, they probably don't want their son/husband/brother's body splashed across everyone's TV.
