[quote=Anonymous]I watched the Netflix one and the Discovery one. The involvement of Nargeolet is baffling. Maybe he thought he was minimizing harm with his involvement and had already lived a full life and so was incautious. But his imprimatur gave cover that it shouldn't have.

Contrast that with the filmmaker, Josh Gates, in the Discovery one who went on board in 2021 to get background for a planned Discovery Channel episode about an expedition. He ended up deciding that there were so many red flags in what he saw that there was no way it did not end in calamity and he simply could not take moral responsibility that his documentary might cause people to want to go on the Titan, so he called his bosses and told them to pull the plug on the film project.

These documentaries were well-made yet totally outrageous, which I think was the point. The whole story is outrageous. I'd like to hope I'd be one of the principled people featured who would state my honest opinion and walk away, if I ever ended up in a situation like that, but I'm sure all the people who ended up being complicit in this and rolling over for Stockton Rush's personality disorder or whatever psychopathology he had going on, thought they would, too. And didn't.[/quote]
