Nat Geo's Monster Fish Feature on Sturgeons: My Most Favorite TV Show This Week

I chanced upon a very interesting episode of Nat Geo's Monster Fish this week, where the marine biologist was looking for reasons why the sturgeon was dying out in some areas of North America.  This was mainly because most of the rivers in North America are dammed already, which has disrupted the annual mating rituals of the sturgeon.  

I really enjoyed watching this episode and I have realized how fragile the ecosystem is anywhere in the world and that any human intrusion into it can cause species to just disappear from the face of the earth!

Nat Geo's The Gospel of Judas: My Favorite TV Show This Week

I watched Nat Geo's The Gospel of Judas this week and it was a very interesting show!  I now understood why the Jews have been persecuted for centuries and how the gospel might be manipulated to make Judas really look bad.  It was interesting to know that  Judas was the most intelligent of all the apostles and he was also close to Jesus.  And the crux of it all is that Judas wrote a gospel!  Hence, the gospel of Judas!  However, it's not for public consumption and only those studying divinity on a master's level and higher is allowed to read it.

Anyway, here are my ten favorite TV shows for the week ending March 22, 2013 -

#1 NatGeo - The Gospel of Judas

#2 TV5 Monde - Dans Les Pas de Marie Curie

#3 HBO - Girls - Paul Walker

#4 TV5 Monde - Fais Pas Ci, Fais Pas Ca - Noel


#5 TV5 Monde - Fais Pas Ci, Fais Pa Ca

#6 HBO - Enlightened

#7 GMA7 - Eat Bulaga

#8 GMA7 - Eat Bulaga

#9 ABS-CBN - Ted Failon Ngayon

#10 GMA7 - Imbestigador

Intrigued by the Gospel of Judas

I was just channel surfing tonight when I chanced upon the Nat Geo program, The Gospel of Judas.  It is a very intriguing title since Judas has always been portrayed in a very bad light in our gospel - and for him to have written the Gospel according to Judas - now that's pretty interesting! Problem is, the Catholic Church won't release it for public consumption, but instead, reserved it for people who want to take higher studies in Theology.  

Frankly, it would've been interesting to find out what Judas thought of Jesus and how he would narrate the gospel - and of course, maybe how he saw Jesus.  The documentary was intriguing enough hinting that Judas was some sort of fall guy so that the prophecy of Jesus' crucifixion would happen.

Maybe in my spare time I could look for a copy of the Gospel of Judas online....
