MonsterQuest2

It's that time again!

Episode: Vampires in America

Preview

Most people agree that vampires are fictional creatures, but throughout history and even today, there have been cases of people who thirst for blood. These "real vampires" believe that in order to survive, they must feed on the life-force of others. In this episode, we investigate these living vampires to find out if there is a physical reason behind their cravings. Can science separate the fact from the fiction surrounding these "creatures of the night"?

Well.. All will recall last week when I did not approve of the butcher-job they did to Baron's beloved Bigfoot. This week's offering was worse. I'm a vampire admirer, ever since my grade school days watching Interview with the Vampire on TBS. That was a simpler time. A time of Clinton's and swishy pants. It was also a time for Tom Cruise to look longfully into Brad Pitt's gaping eyeballs. Steamy.

They have put a metaphorical 'silver dagger' into the very heart of my vampire love. I was bored to tears; actual factual tears(to quote the great Fry. Although that was an episode about robots and has nothing to do with vampires. It still makes me laugh). I'm so bored even thinking about it right now that I'm pondering watching the Olympics. Fear not! I won't actually do it.

I will review a few more of the earlier episodes this weekend.

MonsterQuest



OK, a few nights ago was the new episode of Baron and myself's favorite show: MonsterQuest.

Episode: Legend of the Hairy Beast

Preview:
Native American history is full of "Hairy Man" stories and cave art that date back over a thousand years. Did Native Americans know the truth behind the Bigfoot legend? An expedition along the Klamath River into reservation land will use state of the art technology to search for something locals don't doubt is real. With unprecedented access to Native American stories and recent sightings, MonsterQuest examines this creature that is both feared and revered.

Look. Baron and I love Bigfoot. We love Bigfoot. We love Bigfoot so much that we're going on an expedition to search for one of his Toddlerfoot youngins in the Pacific Northwest. This was one of the worst Bigfoot related shows I've seen. It was almost like an afternoon SciFi movie.

Most of the episode was terrible interviews with superstitious Indians. One claimed that he was one with the earth. Like a guardian of the forest. It was like a Canadian version of Ferngully... The most exciting part is when their boats hit some rocks. Oh my!

I know there will be an episode covering this later in the season, but: History Channel.. come on. You are sitting on ape DNA(so they claimed) recovered in Canada from an episode from last season. How can you not expand that into like 5 different sessions?!

I must say I am looking forward to the 'Prehistoric Cave Bear' episode.

A Monster turn

Tonight is a new episode of History Channel's: MonsterQuest. I will be reporting on the deeds of this show because monsters are real.
