    The boys ( and girl ) in Alaska. Now that is one beatiful sight to see especialy if you see the way Jamie has pack himself against the cold, but leaving the mustage out to breath. I cracked when i say that :)

    3 myth this time.

    1st is the Dynamite Dog. Good story with explosives and that is what we like. Evenly nice to see is the black labrador on the ice in slow-motion!
    Yes, if there wasn't that explosion(s) it woudn't have been mutch fun, but there was and so that's great.

    2nd one is the Moose Mayhem. A bit sad to see that this is back in the normal world in stead of Alaska but nice work on the rubber Moose and well, they prove there point with a lot of crashed cars ;)

    3rd one is the Cabin Fever-myth and i have to disagree with my other reviewer monkeyjb1988. I loved that part of the show ! Probaply because we get a kinda personal peep of the boys and it is just funny to see what woud happen if you put those in a locked room with no stimulance what so ever.
    Oh and the best line in the show came from this myth.
    It's from Kari when see said: "I think Jamie's reached full Buddha.He's not moved in an hour"
    I had to see that pard a couple time. That was funny as hell !

    This episode is classic Mythbusters across the board. We get explosives, crashes, and Jamie and Adam tortured. You can get much better.
    When talking about the dog sinking a truck with a stick of dynamite, I was absolutly waiting for the myth to be called 'Confirmed' or 'Plausible'. I was surprised by the 'Busted' sign. However, when they finally sunk the truck, it was beautiful. I laughed when they they said they had to blow the ice up again to get the truck out. And the dog was cute.
    The myth of speeding towards a moose to avoid damage when driving. When they first showed a truck that hit a moose, all I could say was "Well, hitting a moose can only end one way...Badly". That moose was cool to see, as well as their fake moose. Of course, the best was the cars plowing thru the moose. Classic Mythbuster car damage for all four cars used. Great myth. (It was 'Busted; the only way to avoid damage would be to drive a Formula 1 car at 90 mph on icy roads...I think I'll take a 45 mph at a moose)
    The final myth, about cabin fever, was the weakest myth in this episode although, thankfully, it didn't take too too much time and being the weakest in this episode is exactly a bad thing. Basically, the yeti at Adam's door and all the bits with Kari watching the two men were what brought this myth up a few notches. Her reactions to Adam and Jamie blowing their spit tests and her "writing" her name in the snow was classic. (The myth was deemed 'Plausible').
    Overall, a great episode that washed away the less than excellent taste of some of the episodes between the Supersized episode and this one. I can't wait for the NASA one.moreless
