TV: Planet Earth

[big screen satellite]

i think i agree with you vf, its certainly info light, but i don't think that's what they were aiming for with this, its all about the views, vistas and landscapes, and stunning shots, and not too much about the goings on inbetween.

its just more amazing to think that on our tiny planet that there are so many different extremes and the fact that species strive to live at every single one of them...

its sole aim, i believe is so that you sit there and go wow, but not because you learnt anything, but because you are impressed by the sight of it all..

i mean that whole shark shot in episode 1, was 'WOW'...but it came with very little info, and it really didn't need it...

perhaps they blew most of the budget on camera work and couldn't afford to do any research
