MadScientistWorking posted:The same goes to you buddy. The same applies to you.. If Vlads flour bombs behaved anything like that, they would have been worth while. As stated, Vlads flour bombs were piddly and he destroyed perfectly good shotgun shells to make them. How dangerous is a home made shotgun? Would you say it's more dangerous, less dangerous or as dangerous as an improvised flame thrower? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEpwefP6sE4 No, this isn't even close.

I wonder how Pitchmen is going to do tonight with just Sully around. My guess is that they'll focus a lot more on the inventors coming to them rather than background camaraderie.

Anyone else going to check out Les Stroud's new show this Friday? Looks like he's still doing the "survival" stuff. He's just got a crew and will instead focus on learning stuff from indigenous peoples. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/beyond-survival/about-show.html

I would say "Man Woman Wild" is my new guilty pleasure, but I don't think it's even guilty anymore. They've made some great platforms and water containers, and the show has also drawn attention to a few things I haven't seen in similar series -- like avoiding internal parasites in reptiles they've captured -- but mostly it's just entertaining. I was initially annoyed by Ruth because she kept making friends with their meals and freaking out over snakes, but as soon as one made a strike at her husband she was all THAT SNAKE TRIED TO BITE YOU, MYKE. I HAVE TO PROTECT YOU, then lops the head off. She does want to learn (and sometimes makes valuable contributions) but her persona being the opposite of every other survival host is actually what makes their dynamic awesome. Hawke will be trying to do the macho growling expert thing, then Ruth chimes in with AND LOOK AT HOW CUTE HIS BUTT IS IN THOSE SHORTS. LOOK EVERYONE

I know Swords: Life on the Line is supposed to be the off-season replacement for Deadliest Catch, but it is really the most exciting form of fishing they could find for that time of the year? It's hard to get all  when a boat breaks down or tempers flare when they're surrounded by perpetually calm waters.

Looks like Discovery is suing the Hillstrands:Some Yahoo news item posted:Discovery is seeking $3 million in damages after two stars of "Deadliest Catch," Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand, allegedly failed to live up to an agreement to complete a spin-off project. http://tv.yahoo.com/deadliest-catch/show/41661/news/tv-news.en.reuters.com/tv-news.en.reuters.com-20100921-us_discovery I'm sure they'll be really open to allowing the cameras back on their ship for the next season of Deadliest Catch. Hillstranded!

Seconding all of this, and I love how they aren't afraid to show when things gently caress up. A few episodes ago they were stranded in the Moab desert and about 3/4 of the episode was poo poo just not working at every turn, and then in Alaska they had to get bailed out by rescue choppers after hiking across the tundra for a few days with literally no food. It's probably the most honest survival show now that Survivorman's off the air. E: why hello there thread necromancy!

It's probably the most honest survival show now that Survivorman's off the air. It's a much better show than the premise would suggest. The couple, crew and producers succumb to almost no reality show nonsense and so you really do get that Les Stroud vibe from the show - they seem to stay somewhat stationary and interact with the environment and they show that sometimes there is no way to survive.

It's not really honest, or good. I mean, really. The guy's name is Myke Hawke, he's ex special-forces, and married to a hot international reporter, add to that his fake tough-guy voice, and douchebag armband tattoo, and this fucker is just a character from a really bad action movie. I refuse to believe that he's anything but a fictional character.

So what happened to Pitchmen? They aired two episodes, then it disappeared. Was it canceled that quickly, or are they taking the "V" approach of airing the first few episodes then going on hiatus for 6 months?

The next first time boat that says "gently caress this" after the season? This blows, I enjoyed following those two boats. Maybe I'll watch if they just stick with the Harris boys trying to rebuild, but even then it's a stretch.

What happened with the Jake on the Northwestern who left to try and find his dad? This really sucks, because the season ended with Edgar wanting out, the Harris boys rebuilding, and the Hillstrands about to hand the boat over to a new captain. I want to know what happened.

It honestly sounds like a normal breach of contract lawsuit and Discovery forgot that they were dealing with very loyal-to-each-other folks and it kind of got a bit bigger than it normally does. If everyone just takes a step back, I'm sure they can figure it out.

Wikipedia says it's slated to return later this year, which I hope is correct because it was still interesting. I just saw a commercial for new episodes of Mythbusters starting next Wednesday, so that's a nice surprise. I hope Dirty Jobs comes back soon from their hiatus.

Discovery has to learn they're not dealing with TV execs and actors and the Hillstrands need to learn they're not dealing with ex-cons and junkies. Any network that has a pair is coming after you with both guns blazing if you flake on a deal with them, regardless of who you are. Andy and Jon probably thought something along the lines of "we're their stars, gently caress 'em" and thought they could do whatever.

Doesn't Sig also have a producer credit on the show, or something like that? I think he was the captain who was the heaviest into promoting the show as well. If that sticks, it just about kills the show.

I remember seeing Hawke on Science of Survival years ago, I think just before Bear and Stroud started the show fad. It was an I Shouldn't Be Alive mini spin-off about what to do if you were stranded ____, and Myke was the jungle environment expert. I only know this because he was the only memorable host aside from Les Stroud, plus he showed the audience how to dig a hole by standing water then let it filter through the sand. And because his name is loving Myke Hawke.
