It wasn’t that good the first time around so why watch a marathon?

Not that my opinion matters as I am just a schmuck but I intend to give MQ one more season to come around and correct issues that were brought up here.

Again, I don’t expect Bigfoot to jump in the truck and have coffee with the crew but just that the shows be put together better and not become redundant every 5 minutes.

Apparently an idiot such as myself doesn’t know just how difficult it is to put one of these episodes together…..but then again, my job is to watch and if asked give my opinion.

I really do want to see MQ succeed.

Just my opinion, but I think the entire format of MQ needs a major overhaul. There wasn’t really much on television yesterday (Sunday) so I decided to re-visit some of the MQ episodes, but it didn’t keep my attention very long. I watched the Orang Pendek episode, where a field reporter and a photographer spent 8 days out in the rain forests of Sumatra and made plaster casts of Sun Bear tracks. I had missed that episode so when I read the description I thought it might be interesting. And at first it was, I guess simply because I thought it was entertaining to watch a crew trek through a rain forest if nothing else, but they spent all of their time basically stalking a sun bear. They found tracks they thought were left behind by OP, spent all their time rigging camera traps and making plaster casts on the “game trail” just to send the casts to Jeff Meldrum, who used great resources and probably alot of time and $$, to do a 3D analysis and rendering and conclude with 100% certainty that the casts were Sun Bear tracks. So my problem with MQ isn’t that OP didn’t stroll up and pose for a pic, like rainsofwrath mentioned, it’s just not entertaining enough to invest the hour in. MQ spent like 15 minutes of the show with Jeff Meldrum and it takes that long to find out it’s not OP. It’s like they are just trying to fill an hour with whatever useless info fits into the story. So if they’re not gonna produce viable evidence of a cryptid, just cut to the chase and at least entertain us. And now that we’ve all gotten accustomed to exactly the way everything on MQ will happen, it’s very predictable, so you already know the conclusion.

Anyone got an exact date on when the new Destination Truth episodes begin? So far the most viable thing DT has produced is the Yeti Prints (which are of course in question, as always) but that show has been very entertaining from the start and if both shows aired at the exact same time, MQ vs. DT, then DT wins by a landslide.

Okay, am here also to talk about the latest episode, death of the loch ness monster, please.

I suppose it is for marketing, but they spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time laying out this premise that maybe Nessie is dead, even though it may have existed, blah, blah, blah.

As was discussed in an earlier thread, if there is a Nessie, well there has to be more than one, so to keep shoving the fact that Nessie may be dead as a premise only makes the show look even more sensationalistic. Maybe they kept playing it because, in the end (and on the Wednesday I only caught the last 15 minutes which turned out to be all I really needed to see, the first 45 was just filler for, oops we didn’t find anything), it was a big nothing.

Sheesh! I get frustrated with shows like that. I understand they are investigating and the chances of finding things are small, what with their small window of time they spend in a place, but they could at least dumped the “death of Nessie” bit, very disappointing.

What this? Why is it when Loren posts something on here about Monster Quest that some of you people feel compelled to come on here and rip this show? It’s a good show. But it’s just that — a SHOW.

Good God man, man, what in the world do you people expect from a show about animals that don’t exist or haven’t been proven yet??

Hey - I have a GREAT suggestion for you: if you don’t like it, then just don’t watch it.

At any rate, SOMEbody’s watching this show, because it has millions of viewers. That’s why it just started a third freaking season.

I like it and hope it continues. I like the way MQ asks serious questions and at least brings the subject of cryptozoology into the homes of millions in HD format in a serious treatment.

It is because I for one, expect a higher standard of professionalism on this one. Some of the MonsterQuest Shows have had promise, but others have fallen far short.

Sure, it is great to have crypto shows hit the tv waves…but if those shows become goofy, or outlandish in what they are doing (DT and that Animal X show…sheesh), then to me it reflects on the field itself…and I have gotten sick of crypto things being seen in this light.

I may be hard on MQ, but that’s because I want a better breed of show–a show that looks at cryptids and makes honest assessments without giving way to marketing, or just bad promos. Sometimes MQ stands up, and sometimes it don’t.

To further what SHJ is saying, I have seen some awesome cryptid shows. Weird Travels for example is thoroughly entertaining and they never actually made contact either. Again, you don’t need to actually find the cryptid to make the show worth watching.

I’m sure Loren wants honest opinions or he wouldn’t bother to provide post space. Furthermore, I am just trying to help improve the programming. I have no intent to undermine or steal the surprise out of the cereal box.
