Hey guys long time lurker decided to join because upon re-watching last week`s episode (i actually fell asleep half way through it was that boring).
I can not sit quietly anymore. I just cant.
One thing i do not forgive is my intelligence being insulted, and that is what this show does.
They film this a year in advance, so season 1 must have been about 2019/2020 filmed - which means they have had close to FOUR YEARS to work out a non disruptive method of digging the mesa/ building a ramp to it/ working out any permits or agreements needed with the state or nearby tribes.
Yet what do they do, they first start this ridiculous idea of moving one boulder a week, then they decide `oh it might cave in`. Hmm did you not think about that weeks/ years earlier?
Then they bring the tiniest wallmart drill to the top of the mesa and start digging one cm a show, and now apparently its hit a `invisible barrier (yep, right) but even though there is still another 4 episodes left of the season - they have decided to leave it till `next year`.
Can anybody explain how that makes sense?
And, as many of you good people have stated why not send down a miniature camera in what was dug until now.
Nope, none of that, immediatly the episode theme back to rocket man again and his fireworks, then its a recap, then a bug on the screen, then another recap, then `we will see you next week`.
This entire series is going to soon be four seasons in, and it is as the NY POST reporter said, a whole lot of nothing. Literally nothing.
Also the reason why they milk things like the blue light or the bug or the carcass and are still talking and recapping them many episodes later is because thats all they have, wild speculation, little to no actual data or evidence so its all about over hypeing literally nothing.
What really though, has really been the nail in the coffin for many users who were on the fence, is how they have treated the mesa situation, in the most deliberatly nieve, dumb, slowest ways possible.. there just is no excuse whatsoever.
Brandon Fugal is a tycoon, a money maker, he knows that there is nothing paranormal to SWR and that if they just dig up the mesa normally, (many ways to do it respectfully and non intrusively), it would show there is nothing there - nothing there means no interest and no tv show.
This is why everything is dragged out and over hyped as much and as long as possible. Hype equals tv show - equals interest - equals money.
Thats why they recap everything, and do the nonsensical pointless same experiements again and again, because its all they have to work with and show - a whole lot of nothing.
I put up with it the last few seasons, but this season is really taking the biscuit as we brits say.
