Exactly. I watched the beginning (and maybe the first half of the show) and they seemed to be portraying it as factual. Credibility lost for sure. I was surprised the Discovery Channel would do something like this (which was my main motivation for watching - I couldn't believe they would do this).

The History Channel is really bad about this kind of thing, too. Pandering to lots of crazy theories and legends and airing shows that give these people some semblance of credibility. This stuff should be on SyFy or something, not the History Channel. This isn't history - it's fiction.

The day that National Geographic produced the show "When Aliens Attack", all TV credibility was lost. It doesn't take a genius to see which way the wind blows ..

I'd put up with the incessant talking in exchange for BJs and titties, and not having those big fish eyes staring at me all the time. Plus, at least one end of A might not smell like fish.
