I LOVE watching Whale Wars. It is one of the funniest shows on TV
today. It reminds me of what you would get if the Keystone Kops and
Animal House had a baby. The crew has no idea what they are doing.
The crew can NEVER remember to put the phone in the inflatable. They
forget to turn on the phone so the captain can't communicate with them.
They have all of this expensive equipment, and completely
inexperienced volunteers trying to use it, so they end up breaking it.

I couldn't have said it better - what a bunch of maroons..

See the one where they launched a crewed Zodiac underway?
Boat flipped and dumped them all into the icy water.
The mate who was supervising that was like "Hey, not my fault."
Same episode somebody dinged the chopper blade with something,
grounding it.
Only waterbound thing funnier is watching that water logger yell and
cuss as he guides himself to disaster.

Didn't see that one - I happened to stumble across the show last night
while channel surfing. I was just absoutely fascinated at the total
ineptitude of this bunch of yahoos.

There seem to be a couple of - I guess - reasonable people onboard at
Bridge Officers, but the First and Second mates are complete morons. I
mean seriously - launching a Zodiac at sunset to "attack" a whaling
ship ten/twelve miles away with stink bombs? In the South Polar Sea.
At night. Brilliant.

Oh, and the best part? They got lost. :) Never turned their radios
on.

And they had to call the Japanese ship for help.

The one they were going to attack.

It was Keystone Kops at Sea.

Same episode somebody dinged the chopper blade with something,

Never saw that one either.
