Nice reference.

"We put a label on every bag...Kids; be careful. Broken Glass!"

I never thought the throw would be hard for luke, since even without actual training the force would influence the throw

getting the torpedoes to turn downward into the exhaust vent without a weapons lock programming their guidance systems is the real difficult part


and although the logs may have had enough kinetic energy to destroy an AT-ST, how did the ewoks lift them into position? that's the real myth

Agree - he may have some skills from the moisture farm on using a grappling hook (that is why he has one on his belt)

I assume the ewoks didn't have to get the logs up into the tree, but cut some large branches that were already up there, and just held them in place with the ropes.

Again, I think that MB used logs that seemed way to large - or the trees on Endor were super huge.

A Star Wars episode with Sophia Bush? And no slave girl costume?

Never did think of the grappling hook swing that way, so that was nice.

As a kid, having a tauntaun "sleeping bag" that looked like that would have been awesome.

That's because it was a "Star Wars" episode, not an "Empire Strikes Back" episode!

It's not too late!

um, that would be "Return of the Jedi" sir.

The truck with the cow catcher driving through those two rows of cars was awesome. The first pair of cars in particular went flying, even doing barrel rolls.

The rest of the show was kinda meh.

watching the moonshine one now
why the hell was grant wearing eye liner while testing if cars would run on moonshine?

That is the droid I'm looking for!

If my memory serves me right he drove the car from the 90's. He was trying to be goth to represent that era. Grant even had his hairs spiked. Tory dressed retro to represent the 70's while Carrie dressed to represent today.

That's exactly it.

I'd like to explore the Myth of the female orgasm with Kari.

I agree. The cow catcher was cool - I can see that being part of monster truck shows.

The rocket launcher would have been good if they had the truck going faster down than 20MPH... like a car that was actually trying to get away or chasing after someone.

Wasn't a fan of the moonshine episode. There wasn't much meat to any of the myths.

The rocket launcher thing had potential but felt squandered. Speed of the truck was weak and shooting it right into the radiator was dumb. The Fast Five clip clearly showed it hitting the ground under the truck. I'm not sure if that would make a difference but they could have tried to replicate it closer.

The car stuff in this weeks episode was ok, and mostly predictable. The animal repellant was cool, particuarly how much the cayenne affected the bear, but not the snakes. Guess reptiles aren't affected by capsaicin like mammals are.

However, the most surprising part of the episode was the relative ease in which the bear opened the doors on the minivan. They're evolving

I'm wondering if that bear had been exposed to cars before. I'm guessing yes as it was clearly a tame bear
still pretty cool at how easily it opened the doors and climbed in

Yeah that bear was going after a single cookie wedged on in between the dashboard and windshield. I also think he was trained to open up doors.

I did feel bad for the bear when they poured the pepper all over EVERYTHING!! talk about going overboard. That bear went through the electric fence like it wasn't even there - he could have went berzerk at anytime and turned everyone into confetti.

I mourn for Dirty Jobs - I think, between the two shows, they pulled the trigger on the wrong one. Dirty Jobs had a potential longevity Mythbusters simply can't hope for given the show's concept. DJ, on the other hand? Even if you run out of 'dirty jobs', you could always repeat occupations at different locations. MB? You can only do the same experiment so many times - once.

Mythbusters, as always, has a cool concept and makes for an entertaining watch. But they've looooooooooong since run out of the type of myth that was so appealing, being ones you'd actually heard of or wondered about. Plus, personally, this show really lost me the second they decided breaking the myths up over an episode made a lick of damn sense. Seriously, I get why they did it, hoping to keep people watching an entire episode versus skipping everything but the 'main myth.'

But... well... I hope that made sense to them at the time. Stupid, stupid idea which really destroyed the show for me. Breaking up and staggering experiments, instead flipping back and forth between three over an hour? Stupidest. Decision. Ever. I'd never missed an episode since the show began, back when it was a couple of specials and then airing on Friday nights - since they instituted this change, I've probably watched two or three episodes total. i'm a huge SW fan, yet I've still got this episode unwatched on my DVR. I'm sure I'll get around to it, but the myth breaking-up really kills my enjoyment of, or even tolerance for, this show.

I think MB has longevity, and there are plenty of Myths to test... but the show has turned into let's pick a myth where we can blow stuff up every episode.

So if they were testing that a laptop computer can over heat, inevitably they would decide to 'spill' some flammable liquid on the laptop and manufacture a 'spark' or short circuit in an airtight room.. to get a big BOOM!

This is what I don't like, they don't need the over the top builds and mass destruction. The science is way more interesting.

In addition, it seems they are hell bent on 'busting' myths: example 'well in our test when we drove blindfolded, with one hand, and with 87 octane gas, our time came in at 5 seconds over our control test... so I would say this is plausible' (I would call confirmed)

She still looks damn good considering she's almost 40.

I think another problem is in the age to cut shows up in bits for the internet, I'm kind of tired of having a Jamie and Adam through line and then a Grant-Kari-Tori through line.

I'd like to see see more interaction between the two groups or mix-n-match from time to time.

I think they need to do the will the plane take off if it's on a treadmill again. I didn't like the 1st test. They didn't use a full size airplane.

And here I was making fun of the Call of Duty commercial with the guns in space. Who knew?

The bent barrel myth was also cool to see.

Yeah, I liked last night's gun myths--especially the curved barrel one. I didn't have much doubt the gun would fire in a vacuum.
