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.)
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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?

Sanjaya needs to go. Damn, his performance last night was ATROCIOUS. Ack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, on Top Model, I was thinking the whole accent thing was jacktarded, but then I remembered that past girls had to do commercials in other languages, so I guess they were trying to do an equivalent in an English-speaking country.
No, still jacktarded.
