Yeah I am not digging this heavy focus on Reed and his crew and their drama. It was much better when it was balanced between the two groups (TIV/DOW and Reed). TIV would be so much more successful if they had someone like Reed navigating for them though. I just hate how he is always loving YELLING. Joel hit it right on the head last night about being loud and over exaggerating everything.

Yeah the focus on personalities has been a drag. Hopefully the show will improve now that they have the VORTEX2 armada to cover.

Having a wife that works in reality TV (and some of the people who work on her current project worked on Storm Chasers in previous seasons) I can tell you this: 99.99999% of the drama on any reality TV show is completely forced by the producers. They don't feed the talent the lines, per se, but they do sure as poo poo put them in situations that they know will result in some fire. And if the drama isn't big enough or last long enough they will keep re-shooting and prompting the talent until they do get the reaction their story notes are calling for.

I'm just wondering where the tension between DOW and TIV came from. There was a little last season because DOW was being a little timid but this year head guy in DOW is just being a cock and its way over the top. I can understand everyone being annoyed at Reed since he doesnt really seem to be doing any of this for any other reason then to make money off his website, plus he's an annoying turd.

I think Josh realized, especially thanks to this massive government grant and his position as one of the leaders of VORTEX2, that Sean needs him infinitely more than he needs Sean. Probably after watching last season, he now knew he had complete power over TIV and he would never have to put up with Sean's attitude/behavior since he was running the show.

HOW DARE a mere plebe try to privately research the same thing I am; doesn't he know that I'm from the government, which means I know better than he does?" It pissed me off so much I fast forwarded through their little "conversation" when I watched it last night. I guess I'll watch it again later to see exactly what Josh threatened.Reed is no better, though; between his screaming all the time, being a douchebag fratboy, and "no we don't have to go no we're staying no no WHAT THE gently caress ARE YOU LOLLYGAGGERS DOING WE GOTTA GO  " So from a LOLbertarian standpoint I want him to shove his work up Dr. Dickbag's rear end, I don't want to see him anymore.

Basically because Sean is like a dude who shows up to a corporate board meeting in a smudged t-shirt and jeans, and then gets all butt-hurt when no one takes him seriously. To be perfectly honest, he comes across as enough of a cock that I don't mind seeing him being taken down a peg. He's that guy that shows up when you're meeting with a potential new client and tells them an unsolicited dick joke. That being said, the *only* part of this season I've truly liked so far are the flashbacks to last year's scary clouds and evil weather. This show makes me feel like my HDTV wasn't a waste of money at all.

It wouldn't be the first time they've "creatively edited" a segment. And as much as I hate the drama Discovery forces, it did turn the topic away from Mythbusters: Build Team Chat. I think half of this thread is filled with that poo poo.

For any Storm Chasers fan who wants some nasty green clouds without fake drama, give this a rent. It's basically a prequel with less of Sean's usually douchebaggery and no Reed. It does, however, feature the redneck version of Reed

I think it was just because it was something smacking into a 'face' that made them censor themselves. Sure, the face belonged to a pig and had already been cut off the skull, but it was still recognisable as a face. Also, did anyone else notice the cool omniwheels on the forklift Grant was using? I've seen them on prototype robots before, but never on anything in the real world. EDIT - Cool, the company website, Airtrax.com also lists omni-directional scissor lifts. I would have killed for one of those when I was a teenager working painting houses. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Nov 6, 2009 |

Hell yes and they were badass. It went by so quick that I did a double take on it and had to rewind and watch again. It was a "wait, what the hell, did that forklift just move diagonally?" moment. Also, I'd be willing to bet blood splattered everywhere in the 5 second pig as opposed to the 15 minute one when the blood was frozen solid and that's probably what they didn't show.

Storm Chasers is at its best when Sean is perpetually at the verge of tears. The last couple of years were very full of this. I don't like super douche Sean as much. I have my DVR set to copy Lobstermen and I'm too lazy to take it off and I gotta reiterate, goddamn this did not need to be a full series. Should have just let Storm Chaser fill the DC gap. I wish there was a proper replacement for Everest. I liked the show, but it got pretty grim after a while. Expedition: Africa on History was pretty neat but ehhhh. What the hell happened to that show Discovery had years back. It was like a huge race across all kinds of terrain on foot or something. I want to say it had "challenge" in the title. That would be cool. Alaska Experiment tends to run along side DC so it doesn't really help fill the void.

It was interesting but I don't know that grim is the word I would have used. I thought it was more repetitive than anything. I guess there's only so many ways you can build up towards the actual summit attempts of the 'main' cast members. Also, wasn't there a fair number of deaths on one expedition this year? I thought I read that. It might have been on K2.

Keep in mind, when they were on Wife Swap, the Heene family was the science family in the advertising. People hear big words and sciency sounding ideas like "vibrational energy" and think "well, that sounds about right".

Looks like they're getting a new Kari, probably a fill in during her maternity leave. Well, at least that's what it seemed like to me with the chick who went to the rocket launch in tonights episode. I think new Kari is hotter than old Kari.

I was a little disappointed that they didn't go into what exactly failed on the rocket at all. It didn't just spin out of control it burned through somewhere because there was a big hole burned through the side of the rocket. Has Kari actually had her baby yet? She certainly seems ready to pop on tonight's episode especially since she's so far along they didn't want her to go that far out into the middle of nowhere to do the test.

Well, how serious do we think they were when they saw her off at the warehouse? "Is that my water?"  (Of course, in the real world, she had it months ago.) And is it just me or was it a huge procedural lapse to not use the Lexan panels for the model rocket test?

I think her baby is almost 5 months old now. She had it sometime during June, I think. From what wiki says, there's only 1 episode left this season anyways so I imagine she'll be back for the start of next season.
