A canned response to show how much they care about the viewers eh? Also a lesson in patience for us all.

Just have to wait until they release it though I’m not holding my breath for an earth shattering finish to this.

It is better to keep expectations low in these situations.

I am not going to be that excited about this if they show this footage as part of some wacky spin off series with the moronic Hillstrand brothers…

I mean how serious can Discovery be taking this evidence if they run it in the middle of “Hillstranded” versus giving it it’s own special?

If it’s worthy of all this hype, it needs its own special and not to boost ratings for the Hillstrand bros.

I got the same reply today, pretty much seems automated. Doesn’t mean they AREN’T reading the e-mails or taking them into consideration, so I’m hopeful, or optimistic I guess.

The only thing I can think of is the colossal squid episode on “Monster Quest.” They found something fascinating, got real footage, but they really didn’t hype that show anymore than they did the shaky camera mothman episodes.

So maybe they do have something.

I’m wondering if Discovery hasn’t had a team sent to the location, specifically to research and film the objects, if they can be located again. As said above, the possibility for Discovery (the name alone says it all, IMHO) to boost itself even more worldwide, would jump at the chance prove these things are indeed real, alive, AND well. No way this corporation would shell out $75,000 and just shelve the footage in a “Raiders of the Lost Ark”-esque manner. Wouldn’t make a lot of sense. Even if we’re a small rag-tag group looking to cause a stir by writing incessantly to the powers that be, Discovery owes it to the public to be a trendsetter and bring this evidence to light. Each day, I’m actually feeling more and more positive we’re going to see this footage, hopefully in the next 2-3 months. Think POSITIVE!!!

Question for anyone who cares to offer their thoughts…

If this footage was ‘as good’ as advertised… as clear, as dramatic, as obviously showing, directly, one or more large unknown sea creatures… can you picture Discovery Channel being this coy about it? I can imagine them being worried about being ‘scooped’, but that doesn’t seem a valid concern in this case. I would think Discovery Channel would LOVE the hype, and might even craft a program specifically around this footage.

Does Discovery’s behavior in this case make you feel more, or less confident, that this footage is going to turn out to be something of significance?

If everything happened as it did, Discovery now has full rights to the video. They are into this venture for the money, not the science. They have to look at all the ways they can make back the money they spent for the video, plus as much extra as they can squeeze out of it. That process will take time. Pressure from a few hundred of us isn’t going to influence their timeline and plans for this video. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it disappear for a long time, to reappear later with a different back story.

To assume they are not showing the video in an attempted cover-up is silly. They supposedly spent $75,000 dollars for it. That may be a drop in the bucket for a big corporation, but not something that can be just written off with no return. The video will come out, but only when it can make them the most money.

You don’t know that’s it’s a Cadborosaur. At best you can say it’s an unidentified animal. You’re making claims that are not supported by evidence.

I’m with ya, eyecitga! I got the same thing and felt the same way. I’ll give them a month to get this ‘series’ (Are the Hillstrands getting a side project?), at least, in ads. June 27th…I’ll send ‘em another note worded a little stronger.
