We got right to the end of the show without any spiders, then they showed some spiders running across a river to try and get to a boat filled with people, no doubt planning to eat them, or some shit like that. They had to use their oars to keep the little bastards away. Seriously what is the deal with spiders? Why do they have to be such assholes?

Apparently, people complained about last week's episode that showed two male snow leopards fighting over a female. Why? When the victor had his way with her, they felt it promoted rape. Now, I'm not making light of such a horrific thing to happen to a person, but these are animals and it's all part of the circle of life, right? People will complain about anything...bunch of handwringing, pearl clutching, tofu eating sandal wearing do gooders. (*facepalm*) It was basically one shitberg writing for the Daily Mail, who have their own agenda when it comes to hating the BBC. The Mail...I should have known. I thought it was middle England getting into a state, but if it's the Mail then it hardly counts as a complaint.

It should also be noted that the female snow leopard in that episode wanted to mate. She was standing on top of a mountain calling out to any male who could hear her. When the two males were fighting, she was standing by and watching, because naturally she wanted to mate with the strongest male. If she showed any resistance to the male it's because she was in heat, when animals become particularly aggressive, even towards their mates due to rising hormone levels and such.

Oh, I thought you meant someone decided to build us a new home because we've finally f***ed this one up beyond repair. That planet will be called Bob. Bravo, I'd have been pissed if no one made the Titan A.E. joke.

What a final episode. The monkeys going "shopping", the starlings acrobatic displays (and mammoth amounts of bird shit) and the other bird pimping out his shack with toy cars. That final bit up the Shard with Attenborough commenting on the relationship between the human and animal worlds brought a tear to my eye.

They saved the best til last. No doubt about it.
Leopards....in Mumbai. Catfish eating pigeons. Monkeys stealing packets of crisps.

According to the BBC, the Planet Earth crew got those little turtles out of the storm drain, and I'm glad they did.
I understand the need not to interfere in the natural world, but you can't just stand there and watch them struggling while trapped in a damn gutter.
