The discovery channel has a video podcast with some of the behind the scenes how they were filmed clips. The one on the pack dogs in the great plains ep was astonishing, the aerial camerawork and the time it took to shoot.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm waiting until someone in my office can get me a copy of the BBC version. (Discovery makes me cranky, with their redubbing of narration and editing for commercials and such.)

Ah! I think the ones I ahemed were aired on the BBC first, hence the weird use of mkv codec. No choppy commercial breaks.

If yours have David Attenborough, they're the original BBC version. (Discovery rewrote the narration and replaced him with Sigourney Weaver.)

Because books.

I just totally flashed on Richard Attenborough in Jurassic Park talking about getting Richard Kiley for the narration. "We spared no expense!"

I'm liking Weaver as narrator, but now I'll have to mourn the absence of Attenborough!
The birds of paradise doing their courting dances was mind-blowing!

tiggy, I'm an AI fan, at least for this season. I'm hoping we won't see anymore of Sanjaya, he makes me cringe and want to pull his hair out.

Sail, if there's any justice in this world dialidol.com will be right for one of the first times this season.
Sanjaya is this year's Kellie Pickler/Bucky Covington for me. completely awful and yet continues to advance week after week.
who's your favorite?
