Allow me to give you a couple excerpts from a few different episode descriptions: S4Ep5 - "A Possible sighting of Genghis Khan's tomb" S3Ep6(Titled "Hidden Tomb of Genghis Khan") S4Ep3 - "Strange spiral markings in an African desert" S3Ep3 - "Strange spiral markings in the remote African desert." S2Ep2 - "Weird barren rings in the Namib Dessert." (If you didn't guess it, The Namib Dessert is a remote African dessert...)
Do you see the pattern? they are just recycling entire episodes or segments from the previous season and calling it new.
Naturally one may think that xfinity has just messed up the descriptions, but nope. I watch them every week, Wednesday morning on my DVR, and it is all stuff they have shown already just called season 4 -_- talk about lazy. It's not even like they are giving the topics another look, or introducing new findings or theories to the story. It is word for word, scene for scene, exactly the same!
I mean the stories are decent, sometimes they really try and play them up to make the incredibly mundane seem interesting until a scientist says it's just some natural phenomenon, but aside from that, and the fact that nothing new has been in any of the episodes in the last few months, I'd still rank it as sub-par compared to some other shows of the same variety, even ones appearing on the science channel.
