Yeaahhhh...."Snaketacular"....
My take on it:
There were a number of positive elements that I was very glad to see, although the premise of the show seemed awfully lame and lazy to me. And their Top Five countdown was....well, I already said "lame" didn't I? It was LAME. Not even considering their "#1" mention...the first four were just stupid. If that's the "TOP" content that they have to offer on snakes, there's no way I can see them pulling together an entire week of actual quality content for some future "Snake Week".
All in all...throughout the whole show, I was thinking, "Well...ok...not great...but overall, I think the positives outweigh the negatives. A small handful of the videos they shared were decent and the king cobra capture video was great. The experts talked like real experts that respected the animals, and that was awesome. So the scales balanced on the positive.
Until their "#1" Discovery Snake Moment at the end. SMH That's like enjoying an oohhhkay meal at Denny's and then taking a bite of a cream pie that's gone rancid. No matter how good those french fries were earlier, the entire meal suddenly SUCKED.
