I feel there's a way to keep the playing field a bit more level in that final challenge. Infact I'd be all for stuff like power tools being banned if both guys don't have them, or being limited in how long they can use them. I know that the outcome isn't set in stone and there's nothing they can do about it but I feel really bad for some of these guys who just can't compete because they don't have the equipment the other guy does. I genuinely feel that sometimes it's unfair in the final round. The guy tried his best but it wasn't even a competition. The other guys forge was literally a divot dug into the dirt with coal poured in. Like he'd been in some sort of magic trance and remade excalibur. They were both nice but the first competitor had a warehouse sized shop with literally every piece of equipment you could imagine, including a CAD laser cutter which he used to engrave so beautiful art work onto the hilt. Sorry for the essay but writing this reminded me of when I felt really bad for a competitor in one finale. The more arrogant he's been the better it is, just love it!

Makes me laugh my ass off every time to see them pretend to be happy for the guy he pretty clearly looks down on. Meanwhile you could probably cave in a castle wall with the other guys. That blade made with with the tens of thousands of dollars worth of toys immediately falls to bits.

My favourite, absolute FAVOURITE part of this show is seeing that smug fucking smile turn to horror when the blade shatters into a dozen pieces on the first swing. You'll get through the 4 days and you'll see the douches sword and it's gleaming and perfect and it'll switch to his competitors and it's rough as fuck, only just makes parameters and covered in hammer marks and dark bits. Guy uses old hammers and a cheap angle grinder to get the job done. Then you see his opponents shop and he has nothing. You'll see his shop and he'll have all the tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. My absolute favourite bits of this show are in the last challenge when you have some really arrogant dick who's absolutely sure he'll win.

Feel free to completely ignore me there's likely nothing actually interesting written below 😂😂 TL DR The election is stressing me out so I apparently wrote an essay to keep my mind off things. one of the SEALs approached the widow of the murdered Green Beret and hit on her:Ī Navy SEAL convicted in the death of a Green Beret soldier is under investigation by authorities for approaching his victim’s widow under a pseudonym at a Las Vegas party, allegedly requesting access to her room and telling her that the SEALs involved in her husband’s death were “good guys,” The case is heavily spun as a disciplinary action gone wrong but apparently the real background is possibly that the two SEALs were stealing money from an informant fund and the Green Beret didn't want to participate.

You also might remember the recent trial of Eddie Gallagher.Īnother case that hasn't gotten as much attention is 2 SEALs murdering a Green Beret: This Intercept article is a good starting point: The Crimes of SEAL Team 6 At one point during Afghanistan it started turning real ugly tho. Initially mostly for leaking like a sieve - there's an old joke about a SEAL's dog tags having the contact details of his agent. They've had a "reputation" for a long time. Here's the untold truth of Forged in Fire, some of which is really going to surprise you.How do you know if there is a Navy SEAL at the bar? Don’t worry, he’ll tell you.

And while the series might seem like an open book, there's actually a lot going on under the surface. We're not gonna lie, the fire has a lot to do with how great this show is.

Each episode is exciting because of the challenges posed to the competitors, not because of their personality conflicts. The best part is that they manage to wring drama out of the competition instead of interpersonal drama. That's why the History Channel's Forged in Fire - in which bladesmiths compete to make various knives, swords, and other bladed weapons - is such a success. Not only is the subject fascinating, it's also educational both in terms of how these things are actually made and the history of some of the weapons they create. Sure, we all love drama, and watching a bunch of people scheme and plot and riff on some version of "I'm not here to make friends" like they invented the phrase is fun and all, but shows that pit smart, talented people against each other in a test of skill? Magic. The best reality television focuses on talent.
