I didn't look, but is the live blog full of spoilers? I know they will inevitably fail miserably again this year, but I want to at least have some hope. And if they succeed I definitely don't want to know about it from their own blog! I guess Everest isn't coming back? It was kind of depressing sometimes, and on my TV, at least last season, the old dude who runs the operation had REALLY yellow teeth.

WhiteHowler posted:It was surprising that the two captains I've always seen as the biggest dickheads to their respective crews (Keith and Sig) actually had some human moments this season. Granted, Keith's was mainly because he hosed up and injured his own brother, but Sig's compassion was a pretty huge contrast with how he usually seems to treat his crew. Abandoning his pots to bust into an ice-filled harbor, and promising to run a four-man deck rather than replacing the guy (even temporarily)? That's pretty awesome. I never really saw Sig as a dickhead at all, I'd say hes my favorite captain of all of them. However, Kieth on the otherhand...

Sig has always been pretty cool to me. Time Bandit is a better boat though because, come on: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081633/

5 minutes into Discovery's movie "Deadliest Sea" and I can already say this poo poo is terrible. It's on the level of a Lifetime original movie. Is this Discovery's first attempt at made-for-TV movies?

It's totally a movie based on the true story of some crabbing boat that had a date with death or something. It sucked pretty hard with all the awkward acting and terribly delivered lines, so I flipped over the ESPYs. So yeah, just a movie. No documentary to be seen.

Sig has always been the best captain and the Northwestern the best boat. Keith has always been a terrible person in every way and the Wizard is worse than the North American, which is literally impossible but somehow manages to pull it off.

The Colony starts up tomorrow. One half Monster Garage, one half social experiment. Ten people are charged with trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic environment for ten weeks. The website has an episode guide (light spoilers), an interesting Producer Q+A and some video clips and flash stuff. Of the three consultants, Adam Montella is the only one who seems to have a real web presence, and even then it's not much.

I have never seen Sig as anything but awesome to his crew, and you can tell his crew loves him. Keith, on the other hand, has ALWAYS been a useless dickhead and I'm surprised he hasn't sunk his boat yet. I like the Hillstrands the best but Sig is obviously the best captain on the show.

Edit: Dunno how crazy I am about the "marauder" concept, as realistic as that might be in that scenario. It'd be more interesting and less acted-out to see the survivors tearing each other apart alone. iastudent fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jul 22, 2009 |

Only 15 minutes in, but I think they should have opted for just using cctv/hidden cameras everywhere and simply watched everyone descend into madness. It seems really acted out with them having a camera crew following them around.

I hope they have the raiders beat the gently caress out of a couple of them to put things in perspective for them.

It seems really acted out with them having a camera crew following them around. Reminds me of a Fox reality show from about five years ago, about a bunch of normal schlups going through boot camp. It was looking pretty good until they started pulling the usual "vote them out/earn rewards" bullshit at the end of the episode and I realized that the "boot camp" aspect was just window dressing for a shameless Survivor ripoff.

Alright, I'm not buying this. I'm not feeling any tension as they grab the pipes and weapons to "defend" themselves. Main dude of the new group looks like Richard Alpert from Lost.

Well this kind of sucks unless they plan to add some sort of game element to it, and they sure don't seem to be going in that direction. Are we really supposed to believe they're going to start hitting people with these pipes and poo poo? Come on.

Exactly, this is why this fails, there's zero potential for conflict at all. Now if their night intruder turned out to be a supermutant or Enclave patrol I'd never stop watching. Ever.

The camera crew really kills it for me. You know the "Survivors" can't feel that isolated with cameramen following them around. This is a post-apocalyptic survival show in the same way that Man vs. Wild is a wilderness survival show. They should have gone the Survivorman route and added hidden cameras + made them film themselves.

They should arm the raiders with paintball guns and anyone who gets hit with a paintball is "dead" and has to leave the show. At least then there'd be something to lose Plus maybe everyone would die but one guy and we'd get a few hilarious episodes of him becoming increasingly paranoid as raiders keep sneaking into the gigantic 80,000 foot warehouse and take his stuff when he's asleep
