Is anyone else watching this on the National Geographic High-def channel? The science wouldn’t stress a bright second-grader, but the photography is unbelievable – even with zooms, I don’t know how they got some of those shots. Hours and hours of footage, with almost no “filler” materials – every shot is worth watching. I’m in awe (and that’s hard to do with nature programs). This is going to sell a LOT of high-definition televisions. ---

I’ve never really cared about plain vs. high def but I saw this in HDTV and good lord it is stunning. I never knew half those colors existed in nature. Plus I think Darwin’s great great great grandson was involved in the filming, which is kind of cool. ---

I’ve only gotten as far as the iguanas eating algae underwater while being molested by sea lions. It’s unbelievable.
