I just started watching this on netflix and this is fricking great. The first episode these hippies flip their boat. I mean that pretty much has hooked me.

It's a bunch of fundamental hippies not showering but every three days, vegan diet, and then fricking things up on the ship. I've never heard of someone chipping a helicopter blade lol...this is hilarious. It's like you put a bunch of kids on a boat and told them to have fun.

Oh just wait, it gets better

I watched the whole first season in one day. The captain is the laziest fatass on the planet.

"why don't you go board the ship illegally?" "well they're just waiting to get their hands on me, so Im just gonna sit in the captains chair and be the "master strategist". It's a fricking anti-whaling ship, not WW3.

What I'm not understanding is his logic...lets have our people board a ship with a letter for "legal protection". His concept of international law is pretty much absurd. If Japan wasn't a bunch of pussies they could have killed them on the spot for displaying aggressive tactics and essentially being pirates.

Instead, they're now "hostages". How can a pirate be a hostage. This just doesn't make logical sense. Then he tries to create a media firestorm from his people engaging in piracy. I don't understand it...it's fricking Whales. I'm not seeing the draw here...are you willing to risk your life for a whale? Seriously? Go frick yourself.

You know they're semi fricking retarded when Greenpeace refuses to associate with then. It's like being a Islamic terrorist and Al Qaeda saying, "Thanks but we're good. Got enough terrorism."

He started Greenpeace I believe, then they kicked him out when he went insane. If he had gone insane and been smart they would have found a place for him. But insane and stupid gets you out in the middle of the southern ocean being chased by whale boats with a bunch of stinky butter.

The best part is loading and unloading the Zodiac. That's a huge problem the first year or two that they can't seem to master.

And I watched one of the new one and they managed to seemingly almost lose someone. It's startling how bad they are at common sense.

Someone mentioned this earlier but my favorite line by the grand master hippy so far has been, "[Paul Watson] is a master strategist. He's too busy trying to figure out how to save the whales to deal with human problems."

What no knew episode tonight?

I hate when they pull this shite on Holiday Weekends. Holidays are when I want to watch new shows, not marathons of episodes I've already seen.

On Watson, I love how he tries to pronounce Nisshin Maru in what he thinks is the correct way, but manages to come off sounding like a retarded Klingon.

If you got rid of the fatass captain and put a Deadliest Catch guy up there and a couple of the crab boat crewmen some shite would get done properly.

Or they would borrow a harpoon from the Nishin Maru and start whaling.

I love this show. The incompetence is unbelievable. Does Bob Barker WATCH the show? I would stop funding them.

What happened to the dude with red-nose who thought Berthune was a terrorist? Berthune last season was only one with balls and actually did something, then the asses desert him and give no legal help.

Why is it while watching Whale Wars makes me want to start my own whaling company?

I wish I had a couple hundred million in the bank so I could outfit a decent sized boats to go harass the Sea Shepherds. They would only use the Sea Shepherd's techniques against them (prop fouling, butyric acid, fast boats, boarding, etc). Just the shot of that fat frick's face on tv the first time non japanese start to harass him would be priceless.

I would honestly be bale to say ,"I'm huge in Japan."

If anyone ever wanted to learn good seamanship, they could watch these buffoons and learn what not to do on a boat.

It does make for good entertainment.
