Anyone watch the 2009 season of Whale Wars? What'd you think?


Paul Watson is a moron, a danger to himself, his crew, his ship and
the high seas in general. Peter Brown is a sarcastic narcissist who
panics when the **** hits the fan. Peter Hammarstedt needs a good
spanking and sent home to get a job. Same with his girl friend.

Look, they have a point - the Japanese are invading a conservation
sanctuary to hunt whales - the international commuity wants nothing to
do with confronting them and won't. So they will.

Chucking bottles of rancid butter oil and cellulose fiber at them is
meaningless - as are their attempts to foul props (which is very
dangerous for all concerned) and it's pretty apparent that the all
volunteer crews, while dedicated to a cause, aren't sailors capable of
working with a converted trawler in a dangerous situation.
