literally my experience watching the Monsters of the Bermuda Triangle ep on Shark Week:
Tristan: "What is that big shark that just swam past the camera?"
Me *sees the footage of a tail, the size, the grey top, knowing that whatever killed Penelope dragged her down to the depths*: "It's a great white."
Tristan, a biologist, scientist, and shark expert: "We should show this to the team, see what they make of it." He gets up and leaves me and Skye being like wtf?
Some time later:
They're looking at teeth impressions from an attacked device from the dead Porbeagle & determine that it doesn't match a seven gill shark like they thought but is triangular.
The other guy: "So that means it could be either a great white or a mako."
Me: "It's a great white. Did you see the girth of that tail?"
A little time later:
Tristan and Skye drop a camera deeper in the water. After some reef sharks go for the bait, a large shark is seen pretty clearly swimming near the camera: you see the tail, the grey color, big body. Then something attacks/bites at camera from behind.
Tristan: "Look at that, it's massive."
Me: "Yeah, it's a great white."
Tristan: "We should share this with the team and see what they think."
Me and Skye are thinking wtf again as he runs off.
An even shorter time later:
I can't remember her name right now: "We got some new info on Olivia." (Olivia is the 2nd porbeagle shark eaten by this "mysterious killer")
The other guy: "The temperature shift shows the same temperature of the stomach of a great white or a mako."
Me: "It's a great white. Say it with me."
At the end:
Tristan and the other guy: "Looks like it was a great white all along."
Me:
