Let me tell you, it's a pretty good show and would be better if you didn't have anything to do with that spoiled no good so called ( and I mean no good capt, Jake little spoiled rotten death finder and the one that runs the wizard Keith, whom I'm wondering why he hasn't gotten people killed yet) they are the worst players on this show. I won't let my children watch it because of those two.
