I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

That was an excellent one.

Simply Perfect

best movie i've ever seen.

The reason this series is so poorly rated, is that there are a lot of users who strenuously object to the idea of a group like Sea Shepherd being presented as heroes. And indeed, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are the heroes of this show, while the whalers are the bad guys. There's no getting around it.But if, like me, this does not bother you in the slightest, then I highly recommend viewing this.The narrative and the mise-en-scene are brilliantly done. That is to say that the editing and the way events are presented is good story telling.The photography of the show is also quite superb. There are images of massive ice bergs, huge ships being tossed around in great storms.And the show is also accurately named. Even though nobody is killed, it is a war. Every season brings a new escalation in the conflict, new weapons, tactics and tricks by both Sea Shepherd and the whalers.

Thank God this show is back on...I haven't laughed this hard in years. The most hilarious part is that they don't think they're out of line with their tactics. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if the ratings for this show would tank if they were actually competent enough to accomplish anything without endangering themselves. It's like they went to the Wilee E. Coyote handbook to get their ideas. I have to agree with some of the previous posters; I'm generally opposed to whaling but these morons make it hard to support their efforts. And being led by a guy that Greenpeace kicked out because he was too much of a nut bag doesn't help. The only thing I can think of that would make this show funnier is one of their boats ran over a whale and ground one up with their prop.

I didn't have the highest hopes for this show when I first saw the trailers for it and it still managed to disappoint me.As someone who detests whalers and strongly feels that more should be done to stop them (among others), I feel that this show is frustrating to watch at best.***Possible Spoilers (I don't know if anyone would consider it so)*** First, they can't actually do anything to stop the whale ships. Last episode I saw they were trowing BUTTER and stink bombs at the whaling ship! Like a whaling ship doesn't already stink. Come on, it's just silly. But again, frustrating to know that this is the best that they can come up with given their situation. They buzz around the whaling ships and just hope really hard to annoy them into quitting what is probably a very high paying job.The crew is completely ridiculous and inexperienced. The captain is a fanatic. I mean, it's one thing to have your own personal views, but refusing others to eat what they want to or feel is healthy is insane. The camera man lost a serious amount of weight because he WASN'T ALLOWED TO BRING MEAT/DAIRY ONTO THE SHIP. And the crew cries whenever a whale dies? It's pathetic. If you're going to have that sort of a job you need to toughen the heck up and get it together. None of these people are professionals. They are also very bad actors.

*WARNING SPOILERS** Out of sheer curiosity, I tuned into a few episodes of the new Animal Planet series "Whale Wars". Not in quite a long time have I been so left with an awful taste in my mouth. A taste so bad that even some of the worst FOX reality shows have come out tasting like candy. While I do love Whales and feel that there is no need in any way to hunt them, Watson and his merry gang of terrorists do nothing but drill a hole into all the work that the people who truly do make a difference in animal welfare. Of the few episodes I have watched I have been treated to a group of people breaking international law repeatedly, wage acts of terror, and repeatedly put their own selves in danger. The last point is a big one...the crew of the Steve Irwin are inept mariners. We see a simple boat launch go bad, improper use of sea equipment, and use of a damaged helicopter even after the craft's makers recommend it not be flown in the condition it's in. A.P., with all its good programs to offer, has dealt to the public an argument that if you break the law, you can get your point across. How about using your brain and make the pen be mightier than the sword? Educate with information, not acts of terrorism.
