Yeah, I'm not too surprisd by what they're building. The voice over about the truck more or less explains all the poo poo in the compound, i.e. the producers put all this random crap there, it's up to the participants to make some use of it. So if they want to build a battle wagon, more power to them. I'm sure the producers had a general outline of all they'd like to see, but how those various things are accomplished are up to the participants. With the battle wagon, I'm left wondering what they'll do for gas. Also thought it would have been funny that it was a random hobo tent they were stealing from. Also "We raped their tent" or whatever that one guy said was a bit of unintended comedy.

Ya it was mentioned on the episode they aired monday night about the filming of this season. Wasnt the Captain of the chase boat the captain of one of the original boats in the first season? He looked really familiar.

Boy, I just watched the behind the scenes episode of Deadliest Catch that aired on Sunday. Really felt for the one greenhorn camera guy on the Cornelia Marie (the part with the anti-sea sickness suppository was hilarious). After seeing how sick he was, I can understand why they were maybe a little light on Cornelia Marie footage this season. They elaborated a little on the Sea Star's role (including a very near miss with the Lisa Marie) too. It's worth checking out if you can catch a rerun. It's all new footage about this season, but my Tivo had flagged it as a repeat for whatever reason.

What I don't get is that why, on a show like this, they don't test dudes for being prone to seasickness. There's no way that Mouse guy had any experience on any sort of water and taking his rear end out onto a placid lake probably would have let them know he shouldn't have the job.

Mike Rowe has done a number of jobs on boats, but he was REALLY sick when he did a cod fishing boat in the Bering Sea. It's probably like getting punched in the face by a regular guy, versus getting punched in the face by a heavyweight boxer.

Best week of the year. Blood in the Water is very good so far, a couple cinematic liberties taken but otherwise extremely accurate about the 1916 events. The inclusion of Drs. Nichols and Lucas as cynical foils to the goings-on is a nice idea too, even if it's a little anachronistic. Shark Week is awesome.

Hazo posted:Haha, it's funny you ask; I just now got it off my shelf so I could compare it to the show while I watched. It's called Shark Attacks by Thomas B. Allen (same guy who wrote The Shark Almanac and Shadows in the Water, both of which are also excellent books). The book is basically about our perception of the "New Shark" as an entity that humans are threatened by, and the first couple of chapters are a pretty good discussion of the New Jersey attacks and how they contributed to our modern fear of sharks.

I have to say, beating the everliving poo poo out of an eight foot white shark with a broken oar is pretty loving metal.  UncleMonkey posted:Doesn't look like it. Seems like they're just repeating the Jaws shows. http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/programs/2009-program-schedule.html Can't wait for Les Stroud's special, nothing else really jumps out at me. The fact that they're doing a special on the "  Summer of the Shark" is pretty sad though.edit: I guess there's not enough interest for a dedicated Shark Week thread?

The Colony So why are they building a truck to leave? Did they all sit down and watch The Road Warrior before they went in on this or what? Leave where? Back to real life and out of a TV show? How awesome would that be, 10 days into a 70 day show, they bust through some chain link fence and into a congested rush hour traffic with everyone wondering what the gently caress. Also, the hobo scene. I kind of hoped that those were real hobos not in on the show and are now half dead corpses because Discovery Channel stole their food and raped their tent. edit: goats

It's still Shark Week, people.  Tonight is the special on the summer of 2001. I'm really interested to see the direction in which they take this-- a series of graphic shark attack shock stories (ugh), a horror story of a bloody summer of feasting sharks attempting to take over humanity (even worse ugh), or an embrassing examble of dishonest and evil sensationalistic journalism during a statistically insignificant period of shark encounters (...meh, but still slightly more accurate than the other two options).

Summer of the Shark will never be as good as Blood in the Water where in 1916 all people knew about sharks was that they lived in the water and shouldn't be given the vote I am liking this Tiger Shark special about the weird South American man who apparently escaped from Charles Xaiver's school for the gifted to use his weird genetic mutation to swim with the tiger sharks. It's like a Lisa Frank trapper keeper as drawn by John Singleton Copley.

I like the tag line "They'll put MORE then their life on the line!" like if they mess up, the swordfish will personally rape them and kill their whole family.

It looks almost as bad when they tried to do a lobster fishing show. It was totally lol. The boats had NO rear structure at all because the gulf of mexico is that loving placid. I think it lasted 1 or 2 seasons tops because it was very, very boring.
