I TIVO it so I can cheer on the Japanese and replay those idiot do-gooders' misforutunes. I occasionally rewatch the episode when those morons flipped their "dingy" when they tried to launch it. It still makes me laugh out loud.
I think we should remember and take note of the different means of offensive weapons here that we as citizens may have to use against a vigilante type of crowd or illegal police force.
Such as the water cannon, sound amplifier and funny as it sounds the harpoon gun which does not require explosives but an ample air supply, case in point several episodes of Mythbusters have the air cannon.
This is not satire, the government will take or try to take away our firearms, so we must be prepared to improvise.
Either we do this or we will become the Eloi in the future.
Personally, I loved the part where the entire crew (except the three senior “officers”) got rip-roaring drunk as they were sailing into the teeth of a monster storm.
