I don't know why they are promoting this non-science shit.

Should be on SciFi, not animal planet....

...who all speak with the exact same tone and speaking cadence. My favorite was the Norwegian fisherman, but a close second was the South African scientist. Nice touch having other actors portray the speaking actors in the "dramatic reenactments."

Complete bullshit, but I'm in for the duration.
