This area was huge so it immediately registered as phony. Early in the show, the bit about the area in Algeria where "absolutely no animals lived, not even insects" was discussed, my ears perked. I didn't pause to read it but I understand it says it is some kind of "re-creation" rather than total fiction. I don't recall if there was a disclaimer at the beginning at all, but the one at the end lasted a fraction of a second. Shame on the History Channel 2 for broadcasting this at all. If you're flipping through the channels and you come across this, please quickly change the channel. Charges should be filed and History should be forced to pay all medical expenses viewers will have because of this. It attacks the viewers and attempts to cause brain damage to us all. But oh, wait, I forgot what channel we're watching here. That's a mic drop moment for fringe theorists if there ever was one. But the dumbest, most submoronic part of this is when they - and I kid you not this happens - they blame global warming on the Devil's Triangles. I mean, to believe this, the damn triangles are swallowing people up like the Sarlacc! They even shamelessly blame the Flight 370 tragedy on this triangle business. How about the hot female engineer (actress) they bring in to explain magnetism to the dumb host who, I swear to God, says he had no idea the Earth needed a magnetic field! As for the subject of the Devil's Graveyards/Triangles/Vortices/whatever, we're basically told to be afraid. I mean, you lost your kid because of these things (or so you believe) yet you're giddy throughout this talking about your stupid theories. The actor playing the scientist at the heart of all of this is doing his best but he's never believable. I swear he is missing his calling because with a boring monotone voice like his, he should be doing audio tapes for insomniacs. All the while we're hit with dry bits of triangle history by this host guy who is like water and crackers for dinner. The "hook" is to try and present this information with this fictional story about a scientist's quest to find answers for what made his dog go Cujo on his kid. But this thing is ridiculous, throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the mix and blaming it on these triangles around the world. I happen to enjoy discussions about the Bermuda Triangle, too. Look, I don't have an ax to grind against fringe science or mysteries or anything like that. This boring, meandering pseudo-documentary is one of the worst things I've ever seen put forth by the History Channel. From this bizarre start we somehow make our way into talking about magnetic fields and vile vortices, of which the Bermuda Triangle is the most infamous. While there the family dog attacks and kills the boy. An American scientist takes his young son to the Algerian desert because he had heard there was something weird about the place that made animals afraid to go near it.
