May be more of a question for the OT lounge but anyone else think it's just not right for the Sea Shepard to attack the whaling fleet currently searching for a man overboard? Even in war, there are rules imo.

Same here. Don't get me wrong, I love what they do but attacking a fleet looking for a a man overboard may be crossing the line. Be interesting to see how all this plays out.

That captain is some kind of a prick. Ordering those green crew members down to plug up leaks while the ship is getting crushed by ice.

What an arse----

I fricking hate that first mate....he is such a douche.

One time their tech saves their arse and he takes the opportunity to bash using high tech navigation supports in sailing and he would be content navigating with a compass and the stars.

Later in the same episode he puts the ship in a bind trying to navigate through an ice field and all the while bitching to his navigator because he can't understand bearings and headings.

I hope every Green boat sinks and the Whale hunters continue to slaughter them all. PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals!

I'm hoping the japs harpoon the Sea Shepard's, the Sea Shepard sinks, and drags the japs under with them.

ok just started watching this show and its hard to root for the Shepard even though I don't like what the whalers are doing. I think the Shepard is going about it the wrong way, they do act like terrorists.

i definitely like what they are doing, but do not agree with going after a fleet searching for someone, no matter if they would never be able to find them. you have to show some type of respect

Its the result of giving a bunch of dorks a large boat and helicopter. I'm all for protecting endangered species, but endangering the life of your crew by going through a pack of ice in a boat that's not equipped to do so and playing chicken with "enemy" boats is stupid. And for what...to call the Japanese people names and throw stink bombs on their boat.

Any two people from any of the deadliest catch crews could run that boat better than the 8-10 people they have....and would be more fun to watch.
