EP12: "Oh My God, The Teletubbies Go To War."

[Chateau d If]

Speaking of which!

This shot was taken either between 10:36 and 10:53 am or 1:37 and 1:54 pm (assumes December 15th).

Clarification of the AM vs PM may follow but it's time to watch the show here.

Enjoy the show! But is that for sure one of ours? Not stock footage?

[gingerman28]

Don't spend too much time on trying to determine the takeoff time of the B-52 I don't think that particular flight had anything to do with the actual show.  Same may be true of the nose on shot of the C-17; that may also be stock shot.

But check the long shadow cast by the loadmaster as Charla and Mirna scamper up the ramp.

Is that really our TITLE?! 

From apskip way back on 3/7/07:

12. Macau 12/14 to Hong Kong to Guam
Teams should take the hydrofoil back to Hong Kong since the International Airport has superior flights to everywhere.
Flight options start at 1010 with JAL730 to NRT 1010 to 1500, then CO007 NRT to GUM 1715 to 1950 and end with the most direct routing of CEBU AIR 119 to MNL 1940 to 2140, then CO934 MNL to GUM 2310 to 0440. There are about 10 other combinations in between.

Maybe the Teletubbies are the relief package's? 

What do you guys think? It seems everything happens at Andersen Air Force Base? And is that mountains or water behind the BQ's?

[michael]

hmm...it looks like mountains to me ......or water...I can't decide!

[Slowhatch]

First guess: O/D talking about C/M.

Preview.

[Chateau d If]

I think the camera was tilted by 1.5 degrees.

Definitely Pacific Ocean.

That "zero gravity" stuff makes me think of the Vomit Comet.

Web Clues.

1.  I say either Dustin & Kandice or Charla & Mirna for the Patriotism.  And I say Danielle for the fear of losing for her team.

2.  Is obviously something about Danny & Oswald.

3.  Charla & Mirna are probably telling the pilot rapido, rapido.

[anon1akacolby]

Yes!  The C-17!  They are definitely in a C-17.  I've had the privelege of being inside of one of those a couple of times while they are being built and they are impressive.   I wonder why they used footage of a B-52 take off?

[hakushu8]

Military bases? So more than one? Two major bases here: one is up north, and the other is down south (the Naval station is in the southwest).

I agree with Chateau that that line thing over Dustin/Kandice's horizon is the Pacific Ocean... It could be the Philippine Sea, because I'm thinking that the Pit Stop is still in the War of the Pacific National Historical Park. I'll check on Wednesday.

Anyways, I'm a bit annoyed that they did the Detour and Roadblock in the bases. There's other places here where they could at least the Detour. :-\

[Chateau d If]

How about this spot?

I was looking for rocky stuff near the water.

It also has to be on the southwest of the island in order for the Chas confessional shot to be end of day with sun coming from their left rear.

The first frame here is tilted and looking south to get the same look as the Cha shot.
The next frames are looking straight down on the area and zooming out to show where it is.

Chateau, anyone else with GE... please try looking at this location. Images courtesy of Google Maps. 

Pink shaded area in picture 1 is blown up in picture 2.  The forest looking place with the paths is actually a hill/rock. I think it's the same one as in the picture 3.

  Hi everyone been gone on business for awhile. My son is in Law enforcement and he was home last night as I was reading and catching up on everthing. He stated that you folks should grab some cold cases and with the great detective work you folks do you probably solve some cases. Any way in the confessional of D/O is that a water fall behind them? Keep up the great work.

[georgiapeach]

Hakusha8--I am thinking your instincts may be right.

Where is that Death and Duty sign from? Is it Ga'an point at Agat Beach by chance?

Southwestern location as needed by Chateau

The picture of the mountain and "Death and Duty" does this refer to the caves that some Japanese soldiers holed up in for 30 some years after Guam was freed?  I just noticed again, are those Japanese characters in the upper right hand corner?  This would seem to indicate that the mountain, did have something to do with the Japanese hold outs.,

And I can't remember after all these years, is there a jungle warfare training site at the Naval base.  Marines perhaps? Or am I thinking of Saipan which we filmed at during the same trip back in '81?

[hakushu8]

Er... Agat is further down south of the place I've indicated up there, peach. The area I've taken a screenshot up thread is of the Asan Beach Unit area.

See the peninsula I've indicated as Adelup in picture 1 up there? The Ricardo J. Bordallo Government Complex is there, and that area is part of Hagåtña, the capital.

Honestly, I was only guessing with picture 3. It might, or might not, belong in the Asan Beach area.  It was just that the contour of the slope going down to the right side in that picture has some similarities to the contour of the hill/mountain behind the Chas in their confessional.

Oh, and is this really the episode title? I'm confused. Someone at wikipedia wrote the ep11 title there, but I took it out cause I think he/she got it from here and I'm thinking puddin is only joking...

[Boingo]

  Looks like BVM & TAR hooked into the annual Christmas (humanitarian) airdrop from Guam to some Pacific islands (albeit a few weeks earlier for TAR).  Andersen AFB was a participant last year.

Christmas Drop      

[puddin]

Thats what I was looking for Boingo  and yes thats the title 
Items being solicited are first-aid kits, garden tools, school supplies, toys, fishing gear, snorkeling equipment, hygiene products, canned and non-perishable foods and used clothing.
Don't forget guys chevy said he saw the teams performing the RB at the AAFB and the Detour sure looks like AAFB so the pitstop/confessionals maybe nearby?

Boingo! Another great find!

Everybody watch the Push Video on Boingo's link! Shows those boxes exiting the plane just like we saw in the promo!

Thanks hakusha8--that was isn't SW like Chateau wants but...   CALL THEM!
