[CF74]

This is a relatively new show (Season 3) about people in ships who go out and stop others from killing whales. Awesome footage..

I heard about it and seen commercials for it.

I just watched a clip over there. They attacked some Japanese ship with a spud gun! The guy yells, take out there radar!

I should loan them mine!

I have watched a few episodes this season. Kind of crazy.

Japan says it is allowed to hunt and kill whales as the ban on hunting whales is exempt for scientific sampling and researching. So they have Research painted on the sides of their ships. The guys wanting to stop them say that the Japanese are breaking international law because they are not hunting them just for research.

However I don't know how either side gets away with shooting projectiles at each other and in one episode they said they were using containers with some kind of acid in them. Also in one episode they were basically playing chicken and ran into each other.

Crazy stuff.

But that little ship is pretty wicked looking...like some kind of stealth fighter on the ocean or something.

Pretty sure that guy should be arrested.

The show would be better if their leader wasn't such a joke. Something about him bothers me. He thinks he's a bad-***, and sends the youngsters working for him to do all the dirty work. I've seen 2 or 3 episodes, but don't watch it anymore.

This is the guy.

The only thing I know about it is from the episode of South Park. Did the guy really pretend to be shot or was that just South Park messin with the show?

 

[BadWolf]

I stopped watching after the episode where he faked getting shot.

Or maybe it was after I found out they were all vegans.

It really happened... he just happened to be wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time.

Never seen it, but I applaud their efforts.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Terrible show.

Nothing interesting ever really happens.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Terrible show.

Nothing interesting ever really happens.

But they sure build it up like something amazing is about to happen.

It just never actually does.

Pretty much what happens ever episode.

I was at a friends house a while back and we were just hanging out. Not really watching TV, just sitting around and going in and out of the house.

I finally realized that Whale Wars had been on for nearly 2 hours and it was nothing but climbing buildup the entire time.

 

[dropshot001]

it's kind of cool to see what they do with speeding around in motor boats and the helicopter and stuff, but there always seems to be a lot of buildup to an event and then nothing cool really happens of it. i prefer deadliest catch.

The dude is a class A ******-bag.

In 1977, Watson was expelled from the Greenpeace's board of directors by a vote of 11 to 1 (Watson himself cast the single vote against it). The group felt his strong, "front and center" personality and frequently voiced opposition to Greenpeace's interpretation of "nonviolence" were too divisive.

Greenpeace has called Watson a violent extremist and will no longer comment on his activities.

He considers himself a founding member of Greenpeace and Greenpeace International, a claim Greenpeace disputes.

Seriously, how big of a nut-job must you be, if Greenpeace does't want anything to do with you!!??

I watch the show and openly cheer for the Japs to "Pearl Harbor" his ***, and send him and the rest of the granola-eating, unshaven underarms wearin' ****-sticks with him to Davy Jones' Locker!

BTW Brain, what they're throwing is butyric acid.

I didn't know anything about the guy, but now it all makes sense. I knew there was something wrong with him.
