My name's Blurryface...
Those of us science-minded raised the
watching this. Though the DSC hasn't been educational, fact-based type stuff in a LONG time, I've come to still expect Shark Week to be that which DSC once was, back when I first watched its first airing in 1987. Yeah, I want some entertainment too, but I don't want to watch "Keeping up with the Sharkardashians" or "Real Housewives of the Atlantic/Indian/Pacific Oceans". If I wanted to numb my brain, I'd go sit on the couch and bust out some Worms: Revolution or watch any of the baseball teams in the NL East other than the Braves (15.5 games up...LOL [HoNM= Braves fan]).
Anyhow...the ridicule links, though not the best sources but it gets the point across.

They Are Coming!!!
Ok... Again... I admit I did not view the show... But did look at the links and have heard a lot of people aren't happy with the fake documentary. I get that .
But....
So the show was faked? Wool hoooo! ( twirling finger in the air).
They show you these shows because they know the majority of viewers out there are gullible enough to buy into it....
My point is.... Even though the show was faked.....the existence of the megalodon or like species cannot be ruled out.
Until we are able to catalog every inch of the oceans depths & inventory every living creature in those waters..... There is still a possibility.
10-20 years ago.... Water on mars was a pipe dream.
