I'm catching up on deadliest catch and holy loving lol at that hilstrandt brother comparing the 55 year old deckhand to an old dog having to be put down. That was hilariously brutal.

Jonathan Hillstrand seems like a great guy, but Andy's kind of a dick.

ToastyPotato posted:Contract with Discovery, not necessarily contract for 7 more SEASONS though right? Maybe they'll eventually get stuck to doing specials every once and a while. There is no way this show has 7 seasons left, unless they keep trying to do every test that has every completely failed. Jamie hunts Adam and the build team for sport. I don't know what the myth would be, but it's something I'm sure he's been pitching to the network for a long time.

Surely someone on the Mythbusters production crew is going around libraries and old book stores looking for books like, "1001 Old Wives' Tales" or "Dr Fantabulous' Book of Funny Sayings and Old Saws" or "Myths, Legends and Outright Lies". Hell, make an agreement with Ripley's Believe It or Not and they could milk another decade out of the show.

Might just devolve into "Some guy somewhere on the Internet said [some common household substance] can be used as an awesome explosive! Let's test that out and then just blow something up with C-4 anyway!" Or they'll just bring back the Folklorist...and then hunt her for sport.

neckbeard posted:loving SHARK WEEK!!! Yeah I was gonna mention this. What is the excitement all about? It's just sharks, and they do this every year with the same types of shows. The only good part of shark week was last year when they got Jonathan Goodwin on some shark related show. An escape artist on a shark show. It was great! They should bring back One Way Out.

The only things that excited me about shark week was when they tied in other shows to the theme. Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs come to mind. Looking at this year's schedule, it's just a bunch of one-off specials along with what else they rehash from previous years. But hey, at least the Colony's untouched this week.

They walk into the living area and there's a shark thrashing around on the floor. "Ew, I do not do sharks", says the model.

Sharks are deadly, beautiful, and are the perfect predator. I learn something new about them every year. Shark week has taught me to both respect and fear them. Watching a Great White breach the surface in glorious slow motion HD is a visual experience words cannot describe. You should really check out the Air Jaws specials, because the visuals alone are absolutely flabbergasting.

The Nerdist Chris Hardwick was the admin for the Mythbusters Comicon panel, and has posted the audio from the panel for this weeks Nerdist podcast. http://www.nerdist.com/2010/08/nerdist-podcast-30-mythbusters/ It is really funny, and has a lot of interesting stuff from each of the mythbusters crew.

It really seems like they're playing up the whole "SHARKS WILL EAT YOU" fear factor this year and it feels incredibly annoying.

When I listed to the Mythbusters Comic-Con panel podcast I thought to myself that the guy who asked Kari if she was planning on doing another FHM photo shoot had to have been a goon. This just reaffirms my suspicions.

Last season Vlad needed some sort of gun powder to make his piddly flour bombs... lo and behold - he discovers some shotgun shells. Instead of, you know, building a shotgun, he disassembles the shells for their gun powder.

Just finished up... noticed more items magically appearing like welding goggles, some kind of snake hunting chaps(?), and noticed while Jim was outside in the middle of the night washing his clothes that they had flood lights on somehow.

Exploding capacitors, lightning versus rubber, and human vaporization are just three of the common myths that are out there. I would like to see lightning vs car. The rubber wheels thing is bullshit. If there's enough power to jump from the sky to your car, there's enough power to jump the 9" from the bottom of your car to the ground. It's a Faraday cage, tires be damned.
