that was the best documentary i have ever seen, i cannot wait till next week. it was ridiculous how they spent so long filming, sitting in bushes for 2 months trying to get footage, the snow lepard footage was amazing too.

Watch Blue Planet if you ever get the chance. It's made by the same people I'm pretty sure but before everything went HD like 7 years ago... that one will blow your mind too.

blue planet is pretty sweet, but i just watched the first 3 episodes of this and i was in awe. by far the best cinematography ive ever seen. i really cant believe how amazing that was.

I thought the Desert episode was awesome... I love the desert though. The Ice Worlds was pretty amazing too but for some reason documentaries on the frozen parts of the world are really depressing... I think because those environments are so incredibly unforgiving like the polar bear that swam for 4 days to an island to try to catch a walrus and they all got away and it got stabbed by their tusk in the leg and had no energy left to hunt and died or the entire group of like 20 baby penguins that got lost in the blizzard just a few yards from the big group and all froze to death. I don't think I could be one of those camera men...

I watched it last night, those penguins are fucking crazy. Huddling for 30 days... wtf?
30 days???? More like 4 months. "Watch March of the Penguins" it is a full length documentary on the emperor penguins and goes into waaaayy more detail about their whole journey. It's nuts. It won the Oscar for best documentary last year.

i felt so bad, just the sight of that polar bear on the ice and he kept falling through when they were talking about global warming really made me think about what humans have done on earth. The baby penguins and polar bear getting stabbed really were sad to. this documentary is really really powerfull.

bump, did anyone see last nights episode? it was nuts how there were like 2 million birds in one area, and the flocks how they take 5 hours to pass because they are so big.

Jungles and Fresh Water... AMAZING.

Swimming monkeys were the best and the 6 foot salamanders in the frozen mountain streams. Cannibal chimps were disgusting.

Andrew, Do they replay any episodes at all, or is there a way i can see them.

I'm mad that i didnt watch them cause they sounds sick as hell.
