So I finally finished off the last episodes of Whale Wars season 2; only a few weeks behind on my television watching. After watching, I’ve formulated the following tag-line that can be used to describe just about all of the episodes and the Sea Shepherd’s shenanigans:
“If the Sea Shepherd crew cannot/is unable to (blank), then their entire season may be in jeporady.”
Now, fill in the blank with:
- fix their broken gyro that left their entire crew stricken with nausea
- escape the ice that the crew steered into earlier
- make it back to port with enough fuel
- find the Japanese whaling fleet
- find their lost zodiacs (for the 2nd? 3rd time in the series?)
- retrieve their “prop fouler” that the Japanese vessel confiscated
- throw butyric acid over the Japanese vessels’ nets
- be effective in general
They should really call the show “Japanese Whalers Outsmarting Hippies on a Boat.”
Regarding the last post (Whale Wars is CRAZY) that seemed to get some harsh criticism, I still stand by everything that I’ve stated. Honestly, I have no sympathy for the crew of the Sea Shepherd, nor does their actions in carrying out the mission move me in anyway. Their half-baked schemes and plans truly cause more harm than good, and I would think really deteriorates all of their would-be supporters.
The only thing that actually did have a lasting effect would be the documentation of the killing of 3 whales in the last episodes of the season. It’s a horrible sight to watch and I’m glad to be educated on the cruelty of the subject, but doesn’t Green Peace already fill in that niche?
