LMAO...
You started this thread, you are the one who pushed your exaggerated views and call people who don't share your view point "brainless". Not to mention you have insulted other people in this thread and continue to insult everyone who enjoys this show. You have been condescending to just about everybody who disagrees with you. Your claim that you only do it when someone attacks you is ludicrous. The only way that works is if you view everyone who disagrees with you as attacking you, which screams paranoia.
90% of your complaints regarding the show are either drawn from false information (such as Michel not being there when the fish was smoked), or the fact that Sally, who is a mechanic , Jim a carpenter, Reno a mechanic/carpenter/ welder/tower builder and Deville a man whose lived or worked on farms (he stated it one episode) couldn't get together and design a make shift windmill. And don't try to say you did't see Deville and Jim working on it much, that doesn't mean they didn't help with the design. We didn't see every second of their lives. Considering that the most likely place to find the type of windmill they designed is on a farm, and most farmers try to repair their own equipment, I would say you are dead wrong. (Not to mention its an insanely easy design, which is why they were used so much!) Another problem with your claim is who is the journeyman carpenter? I assume you mean Reno, but nowhere has it been stated that he is a journeyman...
Oh but wait! You said it wasn't limited to just smoked fish and windmills (so I guess thats your way of conceding those points?). Sorry, I stopped reading at those because those two were so moronic and pompous I didn't bother reading the rest of your tripe. I am doing so now.......... Ok I am going to refrain from quoting since there is so much garbage to sort through, but i'll go from top to bottom in the thread, so here we go:
Pigs for fuel? Deville stated they did it on a farm he lived or worked at. Whats the issue with that? He can't have that knowledge because you didn't?
The batteries couldn't just have held out long enough to finish welding? They didn't have a meter on it and they were only worried the batteries wouldn't last, there was no proof they were empty or even near it. There is no evidence of any foul play, just lousy suspense building by the narrator.
And the next one is even dumber. Of course they were given the grease pens and told to draw on the two way window. That way we the audience can actually see what they are planning... Do you also expect them to fashion camera's out of old laptops and telescopes to film the show with? Its the colony, not MacGyver...
It's convenient that Jim knew it wasn't a venomous snake (and the proper term is venomous, not poisonous)? Most people in the south who spend time in the woods can identify whether a snake is venomous or not. Believe it or not, theres nowhere near as many venomous snakes as non-venomous ones, and its fairly easy to tell them apart in most cases. Like most people, I guess you assume every snake is venomous. You are much more likely to run into 10 non-venomous snakes than 1 venomous in the woods. If you want to take issue with this, do some research first next time...
The phone ringing one is just plain ignorant, of course there are going to be circumstance that are setup like this, thats the point of the show, the producers set obstacles for them to figure out. Thats the entire premise of the show, did you really think they let a virus loose in a town and were gonna just film it?
Your complaint about Tick is fine, but they stated they told him to reveal himself, not sure what the issue is... Are you now saying that a trained Marine survivalist couldn't accomplish this? Have you ever watched any of the special ops training shows or read anything about them? I assume not by your statement...
So they used what they found to create the escape vehicle. How else are they supposed to do this? Conjure it using magic and a fairy wand?
So they fixed the tractor... I am not sure what the complaint is... Do you expect the crew to just stick them in a completely empty lot and tell them to crap everything they are to use? I don't think the rear tires were even at the cargo crash and I am not sure what you are getting at. It happened by the fence to their house in plain sight. If the tires were there, I am sure they could have seen them at any point coming and going. They didn't fall from the helicopter if thats what you are getting at. And the front ones where under the tractor and one was tore to hell, boy thats SO convenient!
Not once at any time did anyone claim the phone call was unscripted. Once again the point of the show is to give the colonists scenarios to work through, this was one of them, and they stated it specifically on the show that they did it on purpose. When are they supposed to make the phone ring? When no one is around?
Sian had constantly complained about being there and bitched about wanting to leave and hating everyone, they set that up to see who was willing to leave. Who do you think controls all the people on the show other than the colonists? This is once again another utterly pointless and misleading comment...
And this will be the last one I bother to comment on. First off, I agree I think this one was encouraged by the producers, but I think just about everyone agrees with that part. Why not give them a chance for payback and see how they manage, both physically and emotionally? Second off, this show is not all about them building stuff and fighting people which is what so many people seem to gripe about. Its also about the psychology of the colonists, and their reactions to situations. Complaining about it only makes you look foolish, because time and again its stated during the show and thats exactly how this show has been advertised, as a set up experiment.
You claim to enjoy debates, but you aren't debating if you just yap about a bunch of wrong information, or "I don't think" scenarios. Debates are about facts, your opinion is not fact. In a debate you are supposed to concede a point, not use more wrong information and opinions to justify your last one.
And now you act as if you are an innocent bystander thats getting picked on, well boo hoo. If you don't want your bull shoved back in your face when you spew it, you can always stop.
BTW No one has ever claimed this show to be 100% real. No one I have ever seen (unless its sarcasm) has made this claim. Neither does Discovery nor the commercials for the show, so exactly where is the issue you are complaining about in the first place? Not to mention, if it bothers you so much, turn the channel...
Touched a "sensitive spot"? Nope, I just can't abide idiots...
