Storm Chasers

The entire current season was shown yesterday leading up to the season finale. What a great show! I watched the previous seasons and this one was by far the best! The show takes place in our part of the country with two teams stationed about two and a half hours from where we live. Saw lots of familiar looking country and have seen the storms roll through our town as they did in the show.

The Date and I really enjoyed watching it. There was drama from all sides, naturally the weather, then the interpersonal relationships between the different chase teams. I do wish they would have explored the relationship between Dr. Wurman with Vortex 2 (the most technical and biggest team with tons of funding) and Sean Casey with TIV (an IMAX filmmaker who has staked his life on one shot) a bit more. That seemed to have been the most tension packed relationship going but was swept to the side.

Dr. Wurmer sort of came off as unlikeable and prone to making forecasting mistakes while Sean's own forecasting team seemed to be able to put the TIV at the right places and the right times even though they had lots of mechanical problems.

Reed Timmer with the Dominator and Sean Casey did seem to have some tense moments but they kind of went their separate ways. They did have a rivalry going but it wasn't what it could have been.

It was a great day of entertainment with a compelling show and some very tense moments! We zoomed right through the commercials more than one time to get back to the show (DVRs ROCK) and see what was going to happen next!

I do hope the show will be back next season with Sean, Reed, Dr. Wurmer, and everyone else.
