** This thread discusses the content article: Thoughts on Episode 3? New behind-the-scenes clip **

Just watched the other half of this episode on YouTube, (I saw the first half when it came on TV) and it was, well.... a bit of an odd episode, compared to others. It seemed to focus more on personnel issues rather than the actual storm chasing. I think Sean needs to put an end to the childishness when dealing with Dr. Wurman.

Sorry to hear about Joel separating from TVN as well.

And lastly, I'm looking forward to seeing that inside-tornado footage!

Gotta say. One very very weird episode. The only part i got out of it that wasn't too dramatic was Sean's rainbow intercept.

I hope the next episodes are more chasing and less emphasis on Discovery's part to show the bad side.

One of my favorite parts of this episode was when Sean compared storm chasing to choosing who to pick for the prom.

I think the funny quotes make it all worth while.

It looks like Discovery is trying to turn the show into a fight fest just like they did to American Chopper....I watch to see the chasing not the fighting....if that's where it goes then I'll quit watching just like I did AC.....enough.

The fighting is often there when storm chasers go out...sometimes it just gets tense out there and you fight even with your best friends. We try to edit those parts out of our videos, so most people have no idea about the drama behind the scenes. Remember, too, that editing can splice together all of the dramatic moments into one long argument, like they did in Ep. 3. So, Discovery is partly showing reality when they show the fights (usually by the end of the day/chase everything is fine again), but they may or may not keep the "fights" as they were originally...it's TV after all

Well, Reed, you can pull yourself out of that fetal position now, although I'm well aware that it was worse for you having to watch it than it was for us.
No amount of success or ambition is worth destroying a friendship over, and hardly any relationship can survive unscathed when the parties involved are attached at the hip.
Distance is a good thing sometimes.

Your photographers:
What makes these two guys so incredible is the fact that they're hardly noticeable during the show, and they do you proud by producing the same intense captures that you yourself thrive on getting.

A driver:
Here's a thought...
Maybe a retired police officer?
Stunt driver?
Me???

Bless you, Reed Timmer and all you do. Onward, upward, and...
May The Vortex Always Be With You!

In Appreciation,

I am enjoying the season so far except for the rif between Joel and Reed. That is frankly not fun to watch. I have been keeping up with you two since that first program on PBS that aired several years ago while you two were still in school.

I am also somewhat put off by Dr. Wurman and his attitude toward Sean Casey. Josh needs to lighten up. Last year seemed to have more of a TEAM feel to it. I know Josh and Sean have had their frustrations with each other but that crap in the 3rd episode really put me off on Dr. Wurman. I guess he is letting that $12 million dollar grant get to his head. And Vortex 2 only captured one good tornado all season long. By the time they hit the road, half the season was already over!

Reed is still the best sean and josh can cry and whine but o well i just cant wait for this weeks show it wont be so depressing

I think Sean is a big baby, Josh seems very intelligent and passionate but his head has been blown up with this Vortex 2 project. You are not the King of Storm Chasing! Like Reed said, there is room for everyone on the road, I couldn't believe he threatened Reed's team! Reed I love you, you always stay positive no matter what, and don't let anyone else tell u otherwise!!! If Joel won't drive y'all there are a million people willing to take his place!!! REED IS THE KING because he just wants to chase tornadoes, help science advance, teach others and show his footage.
