Did I really just watch 1.5hrs of "Dateline" only to have NO RESOLUTION???

[redgtxdi]

No court case.

No ass-kicking justice.

Nothing!!


This was the "Mystery in the Deep Blue" or something like that where the bride died in an Australian honeymoon scuba diving incident.

Mother !@$%!@#$!#$^!@#$!~@#$!#$^!#@~@$~!!!!! :|

I don't watch dateline.

EDIT: I watch ax men and deadliest catch.

 

[venkman]

Dateline syringered you?

 

[redgtxdi]

Meh..........typically they're good. The show does the year or more's worth of footwork while you get to enjoy the real-life drama play out from initiation to resolution.

To top that off............tonight's episode was 1.5hrs long (30 min longer than usual) and left everybody hanging.


And I really thought they were on to something good. ESPECIALLY when they showed the creepy husband was actually taking the flowers from the dead wife's grave EVEN WHEN THE BRIDE'S FATHER WAS CABLE-TYING THE FLOWERS TO THE GRAVE!!!! (He videotaped the guy doing it)

Gnarly. Guess I'll just have to load up the Mossberg & initiate my own justice. (Want something done you just gotta do it yourself)

355: The Giant Pool of Money
excellent take on the sub prime fiasco in a way that is both understandable and entertaining.


335: Big Wide World
When he was a teenager, Haider worked in the Iraqi Ministry of Information. He was specially trained to talk to visiting dignitaries and foreign reporters, and he loved his job. It was exciting, and he was treated like a celebrity. Then the war broke out, his job disappeared, and Haider suddenly had to figure out what to do next: hide, like his father wanted, or jump into the fray. Plus, other stories about what happens when you strike out into the world.

dude, i totally watched that ENTIRE thing last night too. i can't believe there was no conclusion!

we are going scuba diving in the great barrier reef in august so this totally interested us

it is a hot internet topic on scuba forums apparently, but there was no conclusion! it killed me

You've all been had. You're now going to watch dateline for-ev-er, for-ev-er, for-ev-er.

 

[NFS4]

Better yet, why is Dateline not broadcast in HD? :|

 

[KB]

I thought the same thing. I couldn't believe the aussies weren't prosecuting the guy. Just get a couple Scuba divers on the jury and hes toast.

 

[MrChad]

It was pretty obvious that he was found guilty by the Dateline court of law.

I've been on hiatus from ATOT for years now, and I can't believe that term is still used.
