I did not get a chance to write my blog yesterday. Too many other things to do and I really did not have that much to say.
Too much anticipation for the SyFy Channel movie this Saturday night, MegaShark vs Giant Octopus, I guess.
MonsterQuest (History Channel) had its season finale on albino sperm whales like Moby Dick. Out of a population of 400,000 sperm whales, there are 100-200 albinos. Well, our MonsterQuest team could not find one normal sperm whale, we had to settle for some shots of a pod of pilot whales. We did get to see some footage from 2004 of an adolesent albino taken by someone not associated with MonsterQuest.
You know, how are they going to find unknowns when they cannot find known animals. We did get to see some interesting information from an English professor researching Herman Melville's Moby Dick. He had the actual natural history source book that Melville used to write Moby Dick and show his comments in the margins which indicated that Melville exaggerated the aggressive tendencies of sperm whales for dramatic appeal.
MonsterQuest gets a C and I have to wonder why people are still watching this.
Dark Blue (TNT) is really becoming quite the strange little show. After all that undercover work, why does every show end in a shootout where the bad guys get killed? When do they go to trial if ever? And granted LA is a pretty big place, but won't somebody get wise to these cops who continue to go undercover?
Last night's show, we have the team go after a dirty cop. But he is not profiting from what he is doing, he is being blackmailed by the crook that he is protecting, by busting every other crook giving him such a good record, that he is getting a promotion to captain. And our great team does exactly the same, but just has dead bodies to show for it.
A good story that shows Cartier is just like this guy, but in the context of this show, just does not work. Dark Blue is getting a C and is starting to bore me.
Oh well.
