Hey, where were the two hot girls in the episode? They’ve appeared in all of the publicity photos but when the episode aired, they were no where to be found.

I agree with dharkheart. I have watched every episode of this show. Everytime they get the slightest glimpse of something they run off into the night after it. You would think someone would have said “Hey let’s wait and watch. If we go running after it we might scare it away.” But then again that wouldn’t make for good t.v., instead of being a good scientific program.

It is better than “SciFi Investigates.” I hated that show.

I have mixed feelings about the show, Destination Unknown.

On one hand, the show does go to some interesting places with some pretty high tech equipment, but on the other hand, that Fear-Factorish host ruins everything by rushing towards whatever they scope, ruining everything.

The producers may as well have had a bus load of flash camera toting tourists swarming the areas they’ve “investigated”.

Here is my review of this segment, which was actually better than I expected it to be: This was a short-30-minute segment on the Malaysian Mawas (or Johor Hominid), Malaysia’s version of Bigfoot. Josh Gates, the host, interviews different witnesses and locals about their experiences and sightings. Then, he and his team hit the jungle to search for their own evidence of the Johor Hominid’s existence. They find a large track with five toes (quite misshapen from America’s version), and also capture some sort of growl on audiotape which cannot be identified. The footprint is cast and a copy of it is made because the original cast cannot be taken out of the country. That cast is taken to Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who finds it interesting, but ultimately inconclusive. The recording is taken to a zoologist who listens to it intently but cannot readily identify it. I would give this segment about 3 out of five stars. I would certainly rank it above the “Sci-Fi Investigates” program which looked at Bigfoot last Fall.

Apparently, trail cams are equally ineffective worldwide for photographing hairy hominids, whose apparent ability to detect and avoid, tends to present strong circumstantial evidence that man has significantly underestimated their intelligence. Since man is also essentially living in denial of their existence, while the evasive hairy hominids appear to not be living in denial of ours, it again appears that said hairy hominids have outwitted man at the trail cam game.
