Is there a place that I can legally watch the new season of Mythbusters online? It doesn't seem to be on iTunes, Hulu, Amazon, or Netflix. It's also not on Discovery.com. I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY DISCOVERY WHY DO YOU MAKE IT SO HARD

The entire trap rig not working when they went to use it the first time is probably the most Mythbusters moment ever.

I don't like this recent trend of showing commercials, 30 second clip, more commercials. Edit - I do like how ridiculous this swords show is. Zeus's batleth. FogHelmut fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jan 18, 2015 |

Totally agree with both of these. It wasn't as apparent in the first episode but if they do the same level of detail on build and breakdown of the function and science as they did in the Indiana episode, I'll be quite pleased with the new format. But the new intro is just not good and the small snippets of music sound kind of weak too. Actual episode content is fine. Edit: Also, I was more than a little amazed at how quickly Adam improved enough to do all of the actual tests. When they brought in the expert I thought it would be as normal and that he'd be the Indy stand-in. Even right at the end when he was on the platform after they added "bark" to the pole I thought he was going to take over. Ape Agitator fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Jan 18, 2015 |

This is sincerely one of the best episodes they've ever made, in all ways. Extremely interesting and fun to watch. Now that's Mythbusters

Listen to Adam's podcast about the reboot for some good info. He was really excited about the Indy episode. A good reboot. The dart trap was awesome. http://www.tested.com/art/makers/488492-mythbusters-reboot-1132014/

At first I was thinking she was on some car show, but then I realized that was the other blonde woman they had to replace Kari when she was too pregnant. Jesse? Scottie was great because she wasn't build teamish at all, which is probably why she didn't stick around.

When you are so transparently cast because the producers need someone to fill in the eye candy role, its going to make things awkward. She seemed much more normal on the car thing I saw her in.

Even though the build team is no longer on the show, didn't they actually work for Jamie's company?

There were still some niggles in the way the topics are structured. Say the Simpsons episode, plenty of time's spent showing Adam carving the foam body, but not addressing the weight issue until the very end (a la "oh by the way, we're adding water because he'd be too light otherwise"), where as I feel it should have been mentioned somewhere during the construction instead, where it made more sense. Same for the swinging with the whip. I kept grinding my teeth because that shiny surface of the fake branch was staring me in the face all the time while they spent so much time on attempts, just to quickly finish it off by putting some sandpaper on it and have it instantly work (like "whoopsie, a real branch would actually be rough"). Still tons better than the past seasons. Thank god the build team's gone, their forced cheeriness was grating. ColorblindDesigner posted:No, that was Christine Chamberlain.

With the Homer build, he mentioned before he started (in a single line, to be fair) that they would have to account for the weight. But like you said, they literally never brought it up again until the very last minute. Completely agree on the whip swing though. Also, the Deadliest Warrior fan in me wanted to see them test the whip on a pig carcass for the disarming experiment.

"If I didn't have the glove on, I totally would've dropped the gun" was pretty lame.

I can't find anything about the Jess incident on the internet. I can't find anything about her other than she was there and then she wasn't. I have seen a few random posts allude to Christine having issues with Jamie, but none with sources or anything. One person saying she cried on more than one occasion (one was something to do with a zip line?) Her wikipedia entry says she "argued with Jamie" but doesn't provide a reference or go into any further detail.

The thing with Jess involved a segment with her doing some work over again while tearing up and saying something like, "the thing about Jamie is he teaches you to do stuff by giving you a task that's about a step too hard with no support, and then he yells at you when you don't do it right." The scene before featured him yelling at her about either calculations or measurements. I don't remember what build it was for. There was also a behind-the-scenes thing where he yelled at her for sharpening his pencils incorrectly and she tried to make it look like they were joking around for the camera, but they clearly weren't.

It's hard to believe he's married.

I can't remember anything about what happened to Jess (I do remember him bitching at Christine for being terrified of flinging herself off a building, which is ironic given how scared of heights Jamie is), but  if it's true. I had a brief crush on her. This talk reminds me of a nebulous memory I have from one of their Behind The Scenes shows. I can't remember what it is, but it's capped off with Adam talking about Jamie and saying "This is really the core of Jamie, trying to hurt someone and giggling the entire time."

Ariza posted:Did you miss the Simpsons episode? No. I just didn't say anything after just that one episode in case the rest of the season sucked. Now, after two good episodes, I'm hoping the rest of the series will be just as much fun. Also, yes the "tree branch" was dumb. But that's more a case of them being city folk than anything else. You mean trees don't naturally grow as 2x4?

The annoying thing about doing TV/movie myths is that a lot of stuff ends up as plausible instead of confirmed.

Tonights was good, I enjoyed that 'improv' wood gun build. muscles like this? posted:The annoying thing about doing TV/movie myths is that a lot of stuff ends up as plausible instead of confirmed. I dont like this either. 'well we've proven it is possible as shown but the original source was fiction so... plausible'. No if you proved it was possible then it's confirmed.
