Thanks, National Geographic, for giving us an insulting new series about the UFO phenomena.
I'm a huge fan of James Fox's work in the world of UFO research, so it pains me greatly to see him as a part of this show.
Check out the chill-inducing commercial below:
I don't want to see night investigations with green views of the cast's faces from their back-mounted nightvision cameras. I don't want to see if the crew can duplicate what might have been a misidentified toy airplane with LED lights. And I don't want every commercial break to start with one of the cast getting startled and blurting out an "OH MY GOD!," afraid that I won't remain watching unless there's a mini-cliffhanger every time.
Who in Hollywood thinks melodramatic sensationalism is the only way to sell paranormal material?
Here's Fox's documentary I Know What I Saw.

Amen to that. It seems like every reality show these days on all the "smart" channels uses these techniques no matter how inappropriate to the setting. It could be a show about selling houses and they will do it at night, with night vision, and cliffhang every commercial break then rewind and make you watch 2 minutes of previously seen footage when they get back. Shows that would last 20 minutes are being stretched into a painful hour.
Exactly. I forgot about the 2 minute recap that seems to be in every series now.
Where did that come from?
The slide reminds me of a co-ed Buckaroo Bonzai
That's PERFECT.
