Do you find yourselve totally involved emotionally or are you busy thinking of ways the participants can survive?

I watched "Shark Survivor" tonight and another show earlier 'Storm Stories' both shows were about being stranded while cruising off the North Carolina coast. In both stories you see a people in a bad situation that only worsens with poor decisions, and circumstances of fate. The crew sails into the face of a severe weather with gale force winds and monster seas nearly 100 miles off shore. A crew member attempts to launch the survival raft but it gets away and is lost. After losing communications and survival gear, they only have will power and determination to not give up. There was not much else to do but wait and hope for a rescue. It became more of an internal struggle for each individual. The ones to survive stayed calm and kept their senses when the situation seemed most hopeless.

I just found this forum otherwise I would have answered after the first program aired. Personally I'd hate to be the two survivors, the guilt that they must be enduring after the loss of the other three passengers even though there REALLY wasn't anything they could have done for them. The one woman who had gone septic, there was absolutely nothing they could have done for her. As for the other two, aside from sitting on them to keep the men from jumping in the water, again their hands were tied, the men were hallucinating. Having hallucinated in the past myself, albeit in the comforts of my own home (no sleep for 7 days straight), I know how overpowering these 'visions' can actually get.

I look forward to the next episode. Not only do I find them exciting but I also view them as a learning experience as well.

I think its great!!

I love the shows. More More MORE!!!

Oh my gosh! I has become our favorite show, we watched for the first time @ thanksgiving and my boyfriend and I waited patiently to watch the ones we didnt see, tonight we finally got to watch the 6th and we really want to know if you will have more comming soon! we totally get involved, after each show we commneted what we'd have done, (of course somehow we survived) this show has been a great comnvesation topic among family and friends!

I love the stories. It really makes you appreciate life. It's a wonderful reminder.
Todays a holiday from work so I've been catching up on all the shows.
Will there be more? ?

i think this show is great! It shows you how determination can get you somewhere. I dont complain about stuff as much like the how cold it is when it is only like 45 degrees out in the episode 'lost in the snow' it was like 0 degrees and they still made it through. It lets you realize how you should apperciate what you have.

Well, I've never before joined a forum dedicated to a TV show, so that pretty much sums up how I feel about it. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I haven't missed a single episode. It gives you a different perspective on life and makes you realize how most of your problems are truly petty.

The acting is good, the production is excellent, and I love the graphics showing what's going on inside the body at specific moments. It all combines to really make you live the experience with them. I was absolutely terrified when the conservationist's plane went down in Africa; I felt his fear, his certainty that he was about to die. I don't cry over movies, but I cried when he was found, and i cried when Yossi (sp?) was found on the river bank in the jungle. They're all amazing stories told brilliantly.

This is the best show on TV. I've told all my friends about this show and everyone who has seen it agrees that it is fantastic. I watched a 3 hour block a few weeks ago and I just couldn't stop, if there were more episodes, I would have watched it all day long! More episodes please

I enjoy the show.

I don't really get emotionally involved, though I do a lot of thinking about how I would survive the situations.

During 17 years in the military I got a lot of survival training, which I hope I never have to use, but am glad I got it and I do prcatice it sometimes to keep my skills sharp.

I have to agree with Ocicat77 in regards to the production quality of this show....it is excellent. The re-enactment of the situation & the professional acting is superior! We look forward to every episode. I hope more episodes will be filmed & that it continues to air for a long time to come.

i don't really understand how someone could get emotionaly involved? if they don't know the people? i do pitty the people that this happened to, but it did happen, no?
well some-times i get scared, because frost-bite scares me, and so do sharks and snakes and bugs and the open ocean, but other that that, i don't get emotionally involved. (I am not a fraidy-cat!)

I watch the show on and off again, and whenever I do watch it, I get soooooo involved. The first episode I watched was the one when some dude goes climing up a mountain with some other dude that he met a few hours before, and the one dude got pinned under a boulder for like five days. The only other one I've watched was the one where the buisness plane crashed in Africa.
I find my self holding my breath and tensing up when ever a person is enduring pain or whatever.
I have to disagree with discoveringmyworld. I get so tied in to the show. I don't cry or anything like that, but I do really start thinking about what I would do in those situations. I can't say much b/c Im only in my early teens and havent been faced with anything of that survival circumstances.

This was a GREAT show and I'm glad to see its coming back.

I don't get involved in any TV show "emotionally" but I didn't really watch to see how they survived either.


It was more like I watched to see how they got themselves into the situation and what they didn't do to make it better. I mean....you can watch a "survival show" and talk all day about what you think you would or wouldn't do, but to see what people really DO in those situations is fascinating to me

Great show, One of my favorites... Hope it comes back on soon
