Purely Joyful Movie!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Its not bad show, well it needs some changes in next season.I don't like drama in it. Also i didn't liked judges decisions on 30 minute board design challenge cause in my opinion they didn't picket best few times although what i know anyway i m not an engineer. And when i m watching BBT PG i always am thinking on scrapheap challenge where they build crazy machines from junk just in 10 hours (including design)although usually they are provided with junk they need/could be used for they build. And speaking of using already existing designs Edison didn't invented light bulb he invented better light bulb.Thomas Edison, the renowned and prolific American inventor, sports a laundry list of accomplishments including the invention of all manner of gadgets. What's interesting about the list, however, is that a significant number of things we attribute to Edison were simply refined by him in some fashion–like the humble light bulb.Edison didn't invent electrical lighting or even the light bulb. He did, in fact, experiment widely with filaments and light bulb construction to help produce one of the first economically viable light bulbs. He also played a big role in the early development of power grids and power distribution. The actual invention of the light bulb is an accolade reserved for Sir Humprey Davy.In 1806 Humprey Davy gave a the first demonstration of a light bulb. The device, what we now refer to as an arc lamp, arcs huge amounts of electricity between two charcoal rods. The illumination was extremely bright and impractical for residential application. The original demonstration was more a proof of concept demonstration than anything else as the arc lamp quickly drained the battery it was attached to. With the advent of more advanced electrical delivery systems (such as electrical grids and on-location generators) the arc lamp became more practical, albeit with limited application. The lamps were used for light houses and for public areas in need of bright illumination.Various experimenters attempted to tame Davy's brilliant arc lamps into something more practical for small-scale use (such as in a home or business) but with limited success. Early attempts to create filaments were unsuccessful as the filament would eventually burn up thanks to the oxygen rich environment around it. Throughout the 19th century experiments were conducted with different filaments but it wasn't until inventors, starting with Frederick DeMolelyns, began pumping the air out and creating vacuum-chambered light bulbs that the filaments stood a chance.Near the end of the 19th century, Edison turned his attention to the problem of electric illumination and, after much experimentation and studying of failed prior light bulb designs, began using strands of carbonized bamboo as a filament. His early light bulbs has a light span of only 600 hours, but that was long enough to catch the attention and interest of the public. Edison light bulbs were installed at prominent locations around New York City such as the downtown Macy's store; it was the first store in the world to be illuminated by electric light.

The show had it's moments, but it emphasized the drama way too much. The best engineer on the show by FAR is Joe, yet he got voted off in the first week because, why? Most everyone of the contestants are totally annoying and could not hold down a stressful job in the real world, they get to play with their toys and they think they are a big deal; they're NOT.Finally in the next to last episode, the WRONG TEAM won. Amy, the arrogant blankety-blank, stooped to playground name calling and deriding the other teams design because it was derivative? IT WORKED! Her teams' design, while "original", will NOT work in the real world. A sled that depends on friction to slow the car? As Carl Edwards questioned (but, curiously, to the other team) how will it work in low friction surfaces? Answer: it will NOT work, so they FAILED.One season and done, I am predicting that Corey will win for no other reason than I find Amy annoying as heck.

The selection of Dan over Gui for the wildcard was pure, unadulterated politics. It had NOTHING to do with Dan's ability (or lack thereof) to be a good engineer or even a decent human being.Dan's a bully, and you can rest assured that he'd have HATED working for me. He has no place in any environment where he should have any say in any decision that needs to be made, he should be treated like the child he is. And the judges chose to reward his immaturity by giving him the wildcard over one of the best engineers on the show. This isn't a show about engineering, it's a personality contest and reality TV. I saw the selection, stopped watching, deleted the episode and cancelled the recording of the show.I refuse to watch schlock which was what this was.

The host start by saying that the white house is awesome, and that he honors the president for being at top of the science, but what kind of science?, this show is about missiles, and explosives and how to construct the best one. The cast is horrible, a bunch of immature people.They should have done experiments of alternative energy, or something that WE ACTUALLY NEED in this hunger era, we don't need more War or weapons, I dot get why they keep making this kind of mindless shows, and this is from the discovery channel, what a disgrace. Please do all of us a favor and don't watch this show so it gets cancelled.
