I'm obsessed with the groundbreaking Discovery Channel series "Planet Earth."  What makes this nature show particularly fresh is the innovating and inventive cameras they utilized to capture really amazing videos of the wild. While watching it this past Sunday, I kept a short running diary of my thoughts on what I was seeing (it's all a bit out of context in retrospect here):

Gazelles are motherfucking fast.

Go penguin, go!  Run goddammit!!

How the hell do they do the spanning time lapse camera work?

OUR PLANET IS pretty magical and breathtaking and yet, still very alien.

The Arctic Fox is so freakin' cute, I want to toss it into a deep fryer.  But how does the fox find the eggs it hides in the ground later?

Damn the music!  It sometimes make me tear up a little.  JUST a little.
