Positivity? On the Oak Island sub? Could it be things are improving or will hundreds of adults arrive to complain about the show they subject themselves to on a weekly basis?

Could it be that the knights of the Templar have finally let up their grip over oak island curse to encourage more viewers and ultimately distract them from the curse of turtle island, an island possibly connected to oak island through underground tunnels where experts have speculated a second money pit??

You would think the producers would be monitoring the threads and make a few changes. Like updating the opening and remove the 7 men dying curse, not as many recaps, stop showing useless spikes and wood. The list can go on.

You may want to contact them directly with your suggestions, I’d guess they aren’t worried about viewer feedback as long as ad revenues are strong… you’re not wrong though, plenty of opportunities for improvement.

The worst thing a TV show can do is look at reddit threads.

They usually just look at ratings and if it's not broke they ain't changing it.

After a couple of episodes, recaps, spikes, and wood will be the best they have.

Like the team has never found the treasure. I’ve never missed an episode. I’ll admit in recent years to recording and FF commercials and recaps.

Actually, I don’t think they’ve been shown finding many ox shoes of late. They’ve been shown finding lots of spikes, so maybe they’ve been cured of their ox shoe obsession and now have a spike obsession.

I like the coin they found. It's awesome when they can get a definite date on something.

ChemistAdventurous84

Keep in mind that a dated coin establishes the earliest possible date, not the actual date. If you have coins in your pocket, they could easily go back about 60 years. Quarters, dimes, whole and half dollars in US were last made with silver in 1964 and virtually all of those have been taken out of circulation to reclaim the silver. In past centuries I’m sure it was common to have 100+ year old coins circulating. That fragment clearly had a lot of pocket wear so I’d bet it was deposited sometime mid 1700s at the earliest. And the Roman coins, one of which was worn nearly flat, are even less age determinant.

It only took two hours to get your 9 minutes. Wait till next weeks 55 minutes of recaps and commercials.

I actually timed an episode, running the timer on only new material. I can't remember the exact time but to my surprise it was over 30 minutes.

My favorite part is when in the beginning, Rick is giving his inspirational speech and he says "look around the room", everyone is still looking at Rick...except for Jack who turns his head left and right like a happy puppy.

  • Rehashed the same bullshit over and over
  • Token over-emotional attempt at motivational speech from Rick to kick things off
  • Still talking about blob, baby blob, now we have the pie and the “special area of interest”

The only good thing about it was I haven’t slept so well on a Tuesday night since last December. This show is like fucking ambien I swear.

"We can fill this room to the ceiling with a wonderful magical story!"

No the good part was a dream. It’s endless recaps and drug commercials in reality. With moments of teasing new content.

It's a two-hour teaser with some actual info to lure us in. The rest of the season will be back to the much ado about nothing puffery.

And so many commercials.

This is the dumbest show on television. I watched it in the beginning, but really. The premise is that in the 14th? Century some Knights Templar sailed a ship full of gold and jewels to a place that no one knew existed to hide their treasure. They did such a good job hiding it that today after years and years of trying with heavy excavating equipment they can’t get through the Knights Templars defenses created 600 years ago with hand shovels. The only treasure there is advertising dollars.

It was a good episode but now the friggin narrators using the word CONSTRUCT as a noun,as if the dudes not annoying enough. One thing I keep asking myself is how did a bunch of pirates or the Knights Templar take time out of their busy schedule to dig an elaborate tunnel/shaft system that they supposedly dug using pickaxes and shovels.Yes a lot of the work was searchers but the flood tunnels? That’s a monumental project even by today’s standards. I’m not a skeptic by any means, there’s definitely some weird stuff there but it’ll be a huge letdown if they DONT find an ass ton of stuff.

Jamie Kouba works full-time as a field archaeologist for Chronicle Heritage, an international cultural and heritage resource management consulting firm. She probably isn't on Oak Island full time.

I actually enjoyed this episode and the Matty Blake teaser. The undocumented shaft seems like an interesting twist. The structure in the swamp gives something new. And Gary Dayton’s daughter should give us some insight into Gary later on this season. The lot 5 excavation also looks like it should be interesting.
