If the biker dude filled out all the proper NFA paperwork for an SBS (short barreled shotgun), and only had it mounted on private land and not while he was cruising around on public roads, no laws would be broken. Colorado, where American Guns is filmed, has liberal gun laws. Along with Texas and a few other states. But yeah; that guy isn't gonna be riding around town with that shotgun. Most of the stuff they're doing on these Discovery channel shows is exhibition/entertainment.

Are there any new Shark Week shows this year? I remember last year being particularly weak, they seemed to have returned to the old "sharks are scary" theme, vs the "sharks are interesting" theme they had going in previous years. The best Shark Week was the one year they got all of their regular shows to do a Shark Week episode. We had Sharky Jobs, and Sharkbusters, and Survivorshark. It was pretty rad.

It looks like there's a few new shows featuring Discovery personalities: SHARKZILLA - trying to recreate a Megaladon and test some of the "myths" about it - Mythbusters B-Team but not officially a Mythbusters episode There's also a Mythbusters special where they count down their top 25 shark myths - apparently covering some new stuff too so it's not 100% clip show. I'm with you FogHelmut - that Shark Week a couple years ago was pretty good and will be tough to top.

Is it Shark week again? Time to not watch Discovery for a week! Unless they feed the MovieBusters build team to sharks, that is.

Let's reminisce about the good shark week shows. When the Mythbusters built a Jaws out of a massive steel tube, tied it to an APC and rammed it into the side of a boat - that was a good one.

Hah, I always wondered if they were ever going to tacitly acknowledge that they basically sent Kari into a sex shop to find a pair of rubber fists for the shark punching robot.IRQ posted:Is it Shark week again?

I love how they tested "if sharks stop moving, will they die?" by holding a shark in place and checking.

nictigre03 posted:It could be me just misunderstanding the situation but I get the feeling Jake is on opiates because of how he acts. I also loved how he dipped out to go below deck when he was "tired" - ie he was getting his fix. I've lived with addicts through the years and have gotten really good at recognizing dipping out for fixes. He is probably doing both opiates and meth. A lot of opiate addicts turn to meth for a change of pace and that euphoric rush they don't get from a handful of pills anymore, and vice versa, and they eventually mix them. He probably uses opiates at sea and meth at home. At sea he is always lethargic and disinterested, and at Anderson's wedding his face was covered with picking sores. Those sores are a telltale sign of meth addiction. Also, Shark Week has been pretty disappointing so far. The only things I ever watch on Discovery are Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, and Shark Week, and Shark Week has gotten pretty lame. I like some of the older documentaries even though I have seen most of them through the years, but there isn't enough new material to keep me interested and the new stuff they are showing just isn't interesting. Really, a show about how Jaws changed the world? I don't care. I wan't to see actual sharks and actual science goddamnit.

Yeah I've been fairly bored with shark week for a few years now, but I watch anyway out of nostalgia. My mom and I watched it every year without fail. I wish she could've seen Air Jaws, she would have flipped her poo poo. Anyway, new season of Dirty Jobs? In Australia? Yes please!

That sharkzilla special this year is somewhat entertaining, though I wish they had focused more on the science of it rather than "OH MY GOD, GIANT TEETH CRUSH A REFRIGERATOR!!!!" I do want a GIF of the Megalodon eating a Great White whole though.

I love megaladons and am a sucker for life size replicas so I thought it was fairly entertaining. But yeah, more educational stuff and less "WATCH IT BITE THIS BEER KEG" would have been nice. I wish they could get David Attenborough to do shark week one year.

Oh How Jaws Changed The World I like this series of docs about How X Changed the World Man look how many sharks died because people are ignorant assholes  But at least it helped with wildlife conservation in the long run  E: God watching people parade around a corpse of an innocent shark makes me sick. achillesforever6 fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Aug 16, 2012 |

achillesforever6 posted:Oh How Jaws Changed The World Tonight's show about attack survivors advocating for sharks was pretty great. Too bad they're following it up with "World's Scariest Animal Attacks."  Also the shark expert is a moron. Great whites, like all members of the order Lamniformes, don't have a nictitating membrane; it's one of their key characteristics. They even mention it in Jaws for god's sake.

I get bored of shark week after I see the same show about jumping shark attacks on consecutive nights. That 'impossible shot' was just getting a shark to jump when a camera was overhead, not very exciting. I want a "Sharks: Where do they rank on the Ocean Badass scale?" show. It can be just like Deadliest Warrior and have sharks v. whales, octopi, and those weird rear end fish from super deep parts of the ocean.

Survivor man is coming back soon along with Dual Survival. Check this out about Dual Survival. Dave is out and Cody has someone new to work with. Apparently something came up on Dave's background. http://www.codylundin.com/wordpress/cody-lundin-press-release/ More here: http://rockymountainbushcraft.blogspot.com/2012/05/dave-canterbury-leaves-dual-survival.html evilwaldo fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Aug 16, 2012 |

Rocky Mountain Bushcraft posted:I went to POWnetwork.org and viewed Dave's military service records. From what I can tell, he was an MP in the Army for 6 years who was trained as a military police sniper and an SRT member, which is like an Army version of SWAT. There is no mention of Ranger, Survival, Scout, or Airborne Training. There is also no mention of service in Central America, only in Korea. Holy poo poo how did he make it this far with such a blatant lie?

Now I guess we have more faux "bush hippy crap!" conflict to look forward to, since they let Dave finally stop bringing that stuff up so much in the later episodes.

Dave's hippy comments and Cody's comments about Dave being in the closet (subtle but great in Season 2) were the best. No word on the replacement and it looks to be someone new who has real skills. I bet Cody is going to make a bunch of backhanded comments.
