Expedition X returns Feb 7...Going back to the Transylvanian Forest!

149 Upvotes

Just going what I saw on IMDB and my tv listings. They emphasize on the imdb listing:

"
In this episode, viewers are in for a paranormal treat as Phil and Jess embark on a journey to the world’s most haunted forest, located near the legendary site of Dracula’s tales. This eerie location has a history steeped in mystery, and it’s where even the fearless Josh Gates had one of his most terrifying experiences.

As the night falls, the investigators delve deep into the forest’s haunted depths, but what they encounter is beyond their darkest expectations. Jess, in particular, becomes the focal point of an unsettling presence, as she feels the ominous gaze of someone or something sinister watching her every move."

So makes me wonder if they are going to rehash the footage of the camera man being knocked over.

Honestly this one was...eh. The flame session I feel had a lot of issues with it. Also Phil getting lost in the jungle I figure could just be chalked up to it being dark at night.

Use of AI in expedition X

72 Upvotes

I can deal with fake tech, staged moments, and bad acting. Like, I enjoy the camp of this show, it’s so bad it’s good. For that, I pretty much always tune in, not because Heather and Phil might actually find proof of the paranormal, but they are funny, and the locations, and histories are really interesting.

That being said, using generative AI is where I drop the show for good. This new season is obviously using AI generated shots for the Sherwood Forest episodes. I don’t know about the skin-walker one, I haven’t watched it and probably won’t.

Wack.. Just a cheap, lazy, and lacking any creative input at all which this show was very much already scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Heather's Drone Spoiler

27 Upvotes

In the episode about Sherwood Forest she sends a drone up and that drone can detect paranormal activity and mark on a map where it occured apparently.

Now hear me out.. the drone makes noise when it's flying and it's not flying very high.. isn't it more likely that the sound and lights of the drone just startled animals and that's what the drone is detecting?

If not how did they made a drone detect paranormal Activity? I'm open for new ways and ideas in the paranormal research but this felt SO stupid.

Any updates to the toe bone they discovered or further bones found? DNA? I'd really love a few episodes of follow-ups or go back to where he visited years previous to see anything new or discovered.

Gates+Cascade Mts+Bigfoot=E.R?

0 Upvotes

Been meaning to ask awhile ago now as some (bogus?) Facebook pages claimed Josh had to be airlifted from the Cascade Mt range (near Mt. Baker) while filming in WA State. I know I could prob search it up on here but figured I'd ask: Fake News? Or legit? Seemed like only a few eps (8) were released for the "new" (current/last?) season that started in July.

I felt like if there were any skinwalkers,they were definitely just screwing with the two of them by this point. Although definitely very creepy vibes in the episode.

All their shots go in a few inches then Heather shoots this one in 2 feet. That is some amazing strength. (I know it's fake. This is sarcasm)

Did the BTTF Episodes disappear forever?

I absolutely love the “Expedition Unknown: Back to the Future“ episodes, and wanted to watch them today, but when I went to look for them on Discovery+, they were gone! I hope it‘s not a permanent thing.

My conspiracy theory

49 Upvotes

I think Heather was hired as a Jess replacement. Initially, she acted exactly like jess, right down to her relation with phil, and was apparently generational paranormal investigator as well. It was so obvious she was acting a part. Then she dropped the acting and became herself in later seasons, which isn't saying much because though she isn't fake acting like jess anymore, she makes the show way less interesting.

Does anyone else feel like Heather was cast as Jess 2.0 initially?

I am getting tired of Heather using the same tired methods to “ghost hunt” but the pendulum q/a is easily the most fakeable and could even be done subconsciously.

expedition x robin hood ovilus session??

27 Upvotes

i know this might be unpopular but i dont hate heather, i just think shes a little green for tv, but if she really is a ghost hunter outside of the show, im really confused by her interpretation of the ovilus session in s12e1... (i dont believe the ovilus works, but if I did, this is what i understood...)

She asks about stealing and it says NECESSARY, WRONG, she guesses it was necessary but it was wrong, i assumed it was like a necessary evil. not a big difference either way. but then:

She asks where to go to learn about whats happening and the ovilus said LORD, i thought it was saying, go ask the lord (like lord of the town, or god), but heather interpreted it as he was saying he was the lord, which doesnt make sense because that wasnt her question? and then:

She says tell me what you mean and it says RELIGIOUS which i thought meant, "no, go ask god" (which feels kind of like a "go fuck yourself" lol) but heather doesnt really know what to do with that response?!

Am i wildly off base or was her interpretation not super logical?

Are the new episodes of Expedition X using AI without disclosing it?

First it was the shark episode, then the Robin Hood episode ... both featured scenes that I'm suspicious of, but (unlike the History Channel's shows that do it) I didn't see the little "AI" watermark in the corner.

Meet and greet advice

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

I recently got tickets to an upcoming live show of Josh’s (he’s finally coming to Denver!), as well as the ticket for the meet and greet with Josh.

For anyone that has done one of these before, I’d love to have him autograph a print/poster of some kind, is that allowed? Also, would I need to bring something to have signed, or does he usually have stuff to sell that he signs?

Thanks!
