We’ve been discussing it for weeks. Someone will get killed in one of their inflatables. They are incompetent. This is about the fourth injury.
Thank You!
I like whales, but loathe arrogant self-righteous snots!
I called it the Failed Pirate Show.
Dorks just toasted the prop on one of the go fast boats..
OK, so where is the “revenge?”
So far our intrepid fleet has done nothing but limp around.
There isn’t even any drama this week. Except Matt Frewer getting booted...
And an OMG moment — a dude with a seasickness patch as a crewmember! It doesn’t get any better (or does it?)
I would love to be added to the list. This is the best comedy show on television!
As a former Navy Machinist Mate I just had convultions watching the massed ignorance displayed as they just trashed two $100,000 boats. It’s very conflicting. I expect them to fail. It doesn’t hurt my feelings if some Hollywood moron has to pony up a few more G’s to fix their stupidity. But it really pains me to see nice machines like those handled by people I wouldn’t trust with a remote controlled car from WalMart.
For next week’s thread I might try and list all the stuff they’ve broken so far this season. And it looks like they get into another collision next week.
We laugh at the show every time but can’t figure out if the Animal Planet wants to audience to laugh or to have sympathy for these schmucks.
They haven’t done anything about saving whales, all they do is bump into each other. All the while losing millions of dollars in equipment.
We are still laughing about tonights program.
I know very little above watercraft of any type but I would have thought that someone would be monitoring the weather at all times on those ships and would have realized leaving those boats in the water in 50 knot winds would put them at risk.
Further if they were worried that starting the engine on the beached boat would break the prop wouldn't they just tow it off shore using the other boat? (I mean they ended up towing it anyway so I know it was possible unless there is some taboo about running a line to a beached boat.)
All too true. Not sure of Animal Planets take on the show, but I have to laugh at these people.
Those "long lines" that kill indiscriminately are wasteful and cruel and I was glad to see them cutting them in previous episodes. But how these people have managed not to kill a lot of their fellow crewmen is beyond me.
The weather starting getting roughHmmm. Maybe take the Gilligan's Island theme and add video of the Sea Shepherd gang.
the tiny ship was tossed
if not for the courage of the brainless crew
the Irwin would be lost
the Irwin would be lost
Well I think it’s more of a mix between Gilligan’s Island and “F-Troop” but that’s my Humble Opinion.
Anyway, I find that it’s really hilarious that Paul Watson has promoted himself from “Captain” to “Admiral”.
