Yeah, I saw it. It was pretty good... though it is a little cheesy, like a lot of those types of shows on Spike... that being said, I do have the series tivo'd

I was thinking along the same lines when I saw the preview for that one. If a gun is available in the house, it's gonna be a short episode.

saw the first episode, it was neat. The airplane scenario was kind of a stretch, because theyre relying on too many things happening exactly as they did on the show.

Just set the dvr to catch the next one. It is the burning blding one.

The show was better than I thought it was going to be. Cheesy, yes, but there were a couple things mentioned that I hadn't thought of before. Based on what I saw from the first episode, I will watch more.

I saw the first few min.

I saw them extolling the greatness of the TSA......

Had to go to something else, after that......


ETA: I will never fly, so I didn't miss anything anyway.

They were accurate in that you probably won't see anyone getting a gun on board, so an improvised weapon would be more likely.

It did raise a discussion between me and my wife about 9/11.

Obviously I wasn't there, but I just don't get it. If all they had were box cutters, why didn't anyone try to over power them? I think I'd be willing to take a few cuts from a 1.5" blade to stop the threat of crashing. I mean there are only like 5 places on your body that a cut from that small of a blade would be instantly fatal, right? When you compile that with the fact that you could extend your reach using one of those small rolling carry-on bags, I'd think a box cutter would be no match.

Not trying to hi-jack (ha ha) the thread, but it did spark a discussion.
