New favorite show: Whale wars

After a couple weeks of action-packed and emotionally charged episodes, its safe to say Whale Wars is my new favorite show.

The dedicated crew of sailor and environmentalists aboard the Sea Shepard's SS Steve Irwin troll the arctic seas in search of Japanese whalers, intervening by throwing stink bombs, boarding the ship, and attempting to strangle the boat's motor in rope.

It's like pirates of the Caribbean, for a cause. The only thing better than watching the fierce battles between the Sea Shepard conservation ship and the fleet of whalers, is watching the tension between crew members and the array of unlucky mishaps that happen on board the Steve Irwin.

It seems everything that can go wrong, will go wrong for these dedicated (if not a little loopy) whale warriors.
