A review of the MonsterQuest episode "Isle of the Lost Tiger"
Geezus.
Has that perennial failure of a monster show, "MonsterQuest", better
known as "Wild Goose Chase - Washington State edition", FINALLY FIND
AY MONSTER???
It's not Bigfoot, Nessie, the Texas mega-hog or the gator in the sewer, however. It is...wait for it...the Thylacine??!!
Of all creepy, lurking creatures that might still be out there (or "out there"), Doug Hajicek and his indefatigable investigators just have to prove the possible existence of *that* one. The Thylacine (a carnivorous Australian mammal) was very real until it was hunted to extinction in the 1930's. It was a vicious killing-machine the size of a wolf, with large and flexible jaws and a penchant for devouring livestock. I'm sure it would have gotten a taste for people, as well, had it lived long enough to be protected by the bleeding-heart UN liberals that currently man our environmental agencies. THE BOUNTY HUNTERS DID US A FAVOUR BY EXTERMINATING IT FOR $ 750 A PIECE!!!
But are we to believe TerrorQuest, pardon, MonsterQuest, the Thylacine (a.k.a. Tasmanian tiger) is still alive, well, kicking and eating somewhere in the Tasmanian rain forests. After the usual boring intro (about 40 minutes long), the producers finally reveal that their little expedition into the god-forsaken backwoods of Australia was successful. Something mysterious was caught on camera, and a footprint matching that of a Thylacine was found nearby.
I can't say I like this sudden turn of events. Suddenly, I like the rest of the series better, where the knights on a quest fail to find, say, the Jersey Devil or the Feejee Mermaid. At the same time, I'm not entirely surprised. I mean, can anything good ever come out of *Tasmania*? Next year, they will probably find evidence for the Bunyip, as well!
:P
