We watched the Shallow Seas episode last night on a friend's smaller (37") LCD last night. Beautiful colors!!! Can't wait to watch on on ours (We have it recorded).
The entire episode guide can be found on Discovery's web site.

I think my attention span isn't short enought for this program. What I saw was pretty, but the constant commercial interuptions and little messages zipping across the bottom of the screen were maddening. I eventually left during one break to balance my checkbook.
I found I also had a hard time with scale watching this. Is that satelite footage? is that an island group or a continent? Are those creatures huge or microscopic? The uberzooms help but I wish they'd provide a bit more context to some of the images.

I think I will enjoy these more, however, if I rent the DVDs with no commercial breaks. |

We also discovered that the HD broadcast has fewer commercial breaks. Though the points at which there would be commercial breaks stuck out and were a tad distracting, having me reaching for the remote to fast forward the non existent

Also, on the HD channel, they showed some of how they did things and the technology. One of the things they did was have a ballon that was set up with a wide seat (for two) instead of the usual basket as well as a fan with a rudder (so they could control where they went). However, the balloon was not completely controllable as they showed one shot of them running into a tree ![]() One thing I was fascinated with was showing wolves (or some other kind of pack dog) stalking a gazelle (or some other kind of prey - yeah, my memory sucks). It was fascinating to see about five of them chasing one animal and seeing a couple of them break off (one to the right and one to the left) to flank them in. Researchers have suspected this for a while, but supposedly, this was their first time to actually witness it.

HI!
|
The hydroplaning dolphins were incredibly cool.
I sure wish they'd stopp putting secret messages on the bottom of the screen. It really distracts from the program. |

As my friend with whom I watched this last night, this stuff is HD porn.
