Oceans

Like the excellent review of roguegrafix already stated this is a very poor nature documentary. Unlike him I did have the stomach to watch the episode to it's sad and funny conclusion. The team learns, at least they were told but their closed minds didn't allow them to absorb, that overfishing of rock lobsters caused the sharp rise in the sea urchins in turn causing the reduction of the kelp. They help combat this by releasing lobsters in the damaged kelp patch(and for some reason in a patch where the kelp has totally disappeared). Then they go on again about global warming like the unscientific brainwashed hysterical hippie sheep they are, convinced they have just struck a blow against man made climate change by reintroducing an over hunted animal. The end. As a serious documentary it fails on all fronts. They show no respect for nature and have no understanding of it whatsoever. They find some "weird creatures" and then start poking them. Poor old Jacques must be spinning in his grave by the harm his ADHD offspring is doing to his name. As a spoof on a nature doc and a critique on the sorry state of the over-emotional climate 'science' it works very well however. Too bad it wasn't intended as such. But that didn't stop me from laughing my a$$ off. 4 stars for the nice pictures and the comedy relief.
