I got a little artsy this week with my Josh pic.
Woot!! I can barely contain my happiness. My prayers have been answered. How, you ask? Well, I’m about to tell you so please try and contain your excitement until I’m finished. I hate being interrupted.
This week’s Destination Truth post not only comes with my usual weekly commentary, but news, as well. Some of it is REALLY good. Some not so much.
Since I’m obsessed with Destination Truth, I, of course, follow the fanrun Josh Gates Facebook page, which is where I got the following tidbits of information.
Over the last couple of days, Amanda, one of the fans that runs the JG FB page, has been posting some DT updates. First, as in previous years, Josh will be hosting the live Halloween episode of Ghost Hunters. This year, the TAPS crew will be investigating Buffalo Central Terminal. I can’t wait! Josh ALWAYS makes the episodes more entertaining. I honestly don’t think I could sit through the entire investigation if he wasn’t a part of it.
The next piece of news is that Mike, the sound guy with dark hair, will NOT be returning for the second half of season four. BOO! Haven’t we dealt with enough cast changes? Seriously, it’s getting old. Stick with the tried and true. After all, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Geez, even my momma taught me that.
But in other cast news, we, the fans, can expect the return of fan favorite Ryder. WOOHOO! Yep, the comedic duo will once again team up.
Last but not least, Josh just wrapped up a manuscript he’s been working on. I don’t know what it’s about, but I’m sure, knowing him, it’ll be great.
Now that I’m done updating you on DT/JG news, onto last week’s investigations.
To kick off episode four, Josh and crew traveled to the Chuuk Islands in Micronesia to conduct an underwater investigation of downed Japanese warships from WWII. Let me tell you, this investigation, while rusty in technique, definitely offered up some tantalizing evidence, along with actual human remains that have rested in their watery graves since the boats sank.
The second half of episode four was spent scouring the Kappa-Buchi River for the Ninja Turtleesque creature known as the Kappa. Though the DT crew did not find Michelangelo, Raphael or any of the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they did end up with a soaking wet Josh Gates who daringly jumped into the river in order to rig up a rope line to safely and securely transfer his equipment across the water. Unfortunately, his shirt remained on.
Donna - disgruntled witch or sepia toned whistle blower? You decide!
Regular readers of the site (thanks, Uncle Dave!) will know that I have an on again, off again relationship with Ghost Hunters. I hated it, then I liked it, then I was confused, then I was intrigued. It’s like Ghost Hunters was a sexy girl! But now…now I don’t know what to do. Because Donna LaCroix, ex Ghost Hunter, is talking shit. I would not have known except for this awesome guy who left a comment on an old post about Ghost Hunters today. He said:
Until about three hours ago I was a dedicated TAPS fan, like most I wanted to go were the have been and hoped to make it onto Ghost Hunters Academy. However I trusted blindly. Once I started using my head and my internet I’ve found some pretty amazing stuff that has made me an antifan. Biggest is the interview of former taps member, Donna LaCroix hosted by ghost divas. Here’s the link if you care to listen http://ghostdivas.mypodcast.com/2009/11/The_Divas_and_Donna-256773.html
fyi it’s kind of long but worth it. It’s so unfortunate that the truth just isn’t good enough for ScFy. In a field where so many people want to prove that carry this fire that all paranormal investigators are fake, why would hand them the fuel for the fire? Or at least bring some water to try and put it out.
So I clicked his link and I listened to the story and I found out some things:
- Explaining that you “tell it like it is” is actually code for: “I can’t express myself without being rude.”
- I need to interview more people for the site, so if anyone wants to be interviewed, let me know.
- Seems like the TAPS guys and the people who make their show are dicks.
- Seems like the show MAKES UP GHOST SHIT AND PRETENDS IT IS REAL!!!!!
I don’t know why this surprises me. I mean, the second word in the name of the fucking network is “fiction.” But even so. If those fucking douches are making up evidence, then I am gonna cock punch them both. Then they can check for EVP’s up their own asses. From…the tape recorder I put in there with my fighting.
