Steve and Tango...WTF are you guys doing?


So, your method of "teaching" (and I use the term loosely) is to set up your students to fail so you can belittle them?

Really?
First off, let me say there is no "right" or "wrong" way to hunt for ghosts. Hell, any idiot with a flashlight can walk around a spooky, dark old building and say "Did you hear that?" and/or sit in the dark with a tape recorder and talk to people who aren't there.

Secondly, when you guys were in training, did you have jerkoffs running around setting up fake fog, making noises, etc, in an effort to PURPOSELY trip you up?
Probably not, and I gotta say, that's pretty low.

Third, how can either of you pretend for one second to be the models of professionalism? You've goofed off, played pranks, dared each other to do disgusting things for money, screamed and ran from SPIDERS...need I go on?

If either of you are the best examples of what TAPS has to offer, I'd rather hunt ghosts with Dan Akroyd.

Amen.

Now if they'd called it the Marquis De Sade's Academy of Apprentice GhostHunters Flagellation, they'd have something.

Not to mention yelling at them for things they do all the time.

Like the last episode, yelling at Jane (I think) about how she can't just radio the other teammates and ask if they were downstairs; they told her she needed to ask them detailed questions. Which is funny since that's exactly what they do virtually every single time on GH. They do a quick radio "Hey you guys upstairs?" Other team: "Nope"; "Ok".

Plus earlier in the year getting on to them about falling for flimsy evidence and being convinced something is real when it's not evidence....I mean how many times has that happened on GH?

This show is pretty much a joke. Not to mention Steve and Tango's "anger" seems so forced and scripted. "UHHHHH I'm mad at these people....errrrr!"

Thats what cracks me up about it. They act as if they are skilled 'professionals'... yet how can one say they are skilled if they've never actually proven the existence of a ghost?

Think about it... if you hunt deer or antelope or penguins... and you go 26 times a year to 'hunt', and never bring anything back... people would probably think you're a piss-poor hunter.

So copping the attitude that they are somehow elite is rediculous.

And dont even get me started on the quality of the students. *THEY* were the best the world has to offer??? Were there no professional engineers with MIT or UMich or CalTech degrees who wanted to be on TV? No professional audio engineers who can tell you what all those evp's really are?

You are not a teacher in NYC are you? That is what the administration does to their teachers... set them up to fail and then publically belittle them.

you must have seen Most Haunted.

I really have to disagree with you there. The dry ice, the noises and the big flash lights have a purpose... to see how cool these kids can be when it comes to the unepected. In the ep where they investigated the abandoned train station, Steve and Dave took a big flash light outside and shone it on and off near a window where Jane and her co-investigator were close to. It took both of them so long to notice the light flickering. THe co investigator finally sees it and goes to see what that was. Jane is then all "Oh, what the heck is that..."

All in all, these tests are not set up to belittle them, they are set up so Dave and Steve can see exactly how these kids will be during investigations--- how tightly their heads are on, so to speak.


Third, how can either of you pretend for one second to be the models of professionalism? You've goofed off, played pranks, dared each other to do disgusting things for money, screamed and ran from SPIDERS...need I go on?

They have goofed off, but if you had obnoxious coworkerss like Andy Andrews and Brian I would want to goof off from time to time, too!

They have played a couple of pranks, but pranks have been played on them, too. Just last night ScyFy showed the ep where they investigated he fire house. Steve thought it best to park the van in the garage so he could get it as close as possible to the other equipment. Jason is all "Where the hell is your head? You are blocking the call center!!" They go back and forth, with Steve smirking the entire time (because he really thought he was joking) and it turns out he was joking and then complimented him on taking the initiave and thinking outside the box.
That is what Steve and Dave want to see... how these kids really think and how much they take the initiave.

I think it's really DISGUSTING how you make fun of Steve for his fear of spiders, (oh) wise owl! Are you afraid of anything? May I make fun of you for it?


You're laborers, you're supposed to be laboring! That's what you get for not having an education!!

I think it's pretty funny that a guy whose idea of a horror movie is 'Charlotte's Web' chases ghosts for a living.

AMEN to you, "TheEternian" - I agree with all your posts 100% and wrote a note to Jane on another thread if she ever visits this site.

Maybe it was Steve who replied to your post, LOL.
