Well, I'm sorry to see this fantastic 11-part series come to an end. At least it was ended as it began, in spectacular fashion. There are some sights in here that are so unlike anything else in the previous 10 segments, it will have you dropping your jaw in amazement.
The oceans cover more than half of our planet, states narrator David Attenborough, at the beginning of this amazing episode. "Much of it is virtually empty and beyond our reach: a watery desert." Yet, later in the show we get some idea of the depth and vastness of oceans when we go 500-plus feet down where there is NO light but plenty of strange creatures. We are told that there are 300 volcanoes beneath the ocean surfaces, that some are higher than Mt. Everest! Man, this is hard to fathom, pun intended.
All live in the ocean is one long search for food and to conserve energy.
Among the incredible sights we see is a whale shark. I didn't know there was a fish that was half-whale, half-shark, but here it is: 30 tons of it, and pretty darned ugly and scary. Throughout the 50-minute show, we see different kinds of big predators, from sharks to giant rays to the biggest of them all: the Blue Whale, bigger than the biggest dinosaur which ever roamed the planet. Blue Whales can go up to 200 tons in weight and they eat four million krill a day!
Much of the underwater creatures we see are so odd, so different, that they "defy classification," according to Attenborough. You have to see them to believe them.
Overall, this was an extraordinary episode because many of the creatures in the oceans are almost beyond belief. That, and the incredible vastness of an ocean, are about too much to comprehend. It is truly amazing.
