I hate to admit how much I enjoy watching this show, it looks like something might actually happen tonight
Of course it will be the big bad whaling ship running over the poor innocent audy gill, not vice versa

Side note, if I made "save the nisshin maru" t-shirts with a sillouhette (sp?) Of the ship
would people buy them?

I possibly would buy said shirts.

I don't like seeing animals die needlessly but the total stupidity of the Sea Shepard crew makes me cheer for the whalers.

My thought exactly
If its worth doing, its worth doing right and quite frankly these people have accomplished nothing

It's interesting but these guys blow at doing anything. They say that the japanese hauls have declined since they intervened but they are basically a mosquito on their asses.

I ruined the rest of this season by searching the boat that gets run over in the next episode.

This show is amazing. It's so fucking funny. They suck at even hitting the boats with the chemicals. They whine way to much, they really do nothing.

Omg we put our lives in danger everyday. lolol

He was shot by a Japanese sniper, but he had a vest on so he was good.

Eh, I talked to my dad (around 40 years on Merchant/Navy ships) and they broke a Maritime law in the whole "Rules of the Road". When a ship is blasting it's horn like that you stay the fuck away from it.

Regrdless, I think that was the first twinge of sympathy I've felt while watching the show
And the audy gil and its captain were pretty badass so I can't help but feel a little bit for him

I only feel sorry for the guys on the Ady Gyll. The captain for that boat was on trial just like two weeks ago in Japan for the collision and he totally sold out Paul Watson.

"No, I was told to slow down and stop RIGHT there."

"On March 17, 2008 Paul Watson said that he was shot by the Japanese crew or coast guard personnel during the Operation Migaloo anti-whaling campaign in the Southern Ocean."
Thats from wikipedia and I guess its in the show too. I wouldn't know, as i saw it in the documentary on planet green.

He has a $2 dollar badge that supposedly "stopped the bullet" and only a little pin prick behind it from where the pin was to hold it on his shirt. A bullet hits a store bought Shield and that fucker isn't going to stop it and even IF a badge stopped a bullet you would have a bruise the size of a basketball behind it.

Look up that portion on YouTube to realize how fake it is.

Been watching it from the begining. Great show. The japanese need to realize they need to fucking stop whaling. Also the Sea Shepheards need to step up their game. Seasons 3 is crazy so far.

seriously, the shepards are fucking stupid but at least they bring attention to the problem, and they did make the Japanese fall 300 whales short of their quota last year which is rather significant
