2.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs DOWN to Discovery licensing BS April 1, 2012
By R. Aaron Swain
I love Mythbusters, but I hate cable TV. Apparently these two facts are in diametric opposition. Instead of just offering an easy, consistent, and reliable alternative to watching episodes as they air, Discovery sees fit to tinker with their licensing agreements every single season. I've bought passes to the last two seasons since switching from the iTunes store to Amazon and I will continue to do so. I just wish that Discovery's lawyers could get their act together! There is simply no good reason that episodes should not become available for purchase the day after they air. Other networks have NO problem with this.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Flame Out April 2, 2012
By Dennis A. Lowrey
Amazon Verified Purchase
This mythbusters was really good. It was probably the best I've seen so far, because both teams were very creative. The trio found a way to obscure the visual camera and the thermal camera, better than in the movie myth. I also liked Jaimie's beefed up flamethrower and Adam's more powerful fire extinguisher using water. (submitted by a 9 year old megafan)

This was a fun episode where the team did a great job with the duct tape, but it wasn't as science heavy as their best episodes, and I missed the rest of the team. Read more
