It's nice to see Sig actually show a little compassion for once. I understand the need to keep your crew working hard, but more often than not Sig's a complete loving rear end in a top hat. Especially to Edgar. The man's your loving brother, and you're laughing over the intercom at his pain? gently caress you, Sig. And jesus christ, there isn't a  big enough for the Cornelia Marie scenes.

Well it sort of does, but it's getting more into Bullshit! territory than Mythbusters, I guess. I'd still like to see them, or someone, do it though, or a "$500 stereo vs $50,000 audiophile stereo," or "MP3 vs. CD." Have they done a HFCS episode? There seems to be a decent amount of confusion out there good and bad.

Yeah I know, it's just such a common and stupid argument since a well encoded mp3 really isn't distinguishable from a cd. I guess I can't expect people to only get -aps or -v0 or whatever though.

The latter was done over the years several times by various audio publications via double-blind-tests and generally if the mp3 is done with a decent codec/some care of what you convert it's indistinguishable from a CD except for very special tracks (which work against the mp3-psychoacoustic-algorithms) at around 164 kbr (depending on codec, vbr/cbr etc), even on stereo systems costing seven-digit dollar amounts. However it is something that's pretty difficult (and boring) to do on TV.

I know that but most people still insist otherwise. I wouldn't even be suggesting it if I thought CDs/Monster Cables/etc were actually better.

testing 10 cent/foot versus $3000/foot speaker cable would be easy as hell and you could probably make good TV out of it. It's been done several times in amateur situations but as long as Monster Cable represents a major percentage of Best Buy's gross margin it won't be on Mythbusters.

I think it would be hard to make interesting. Double-blind listening tests aren't exactly riveting. I guess they could demo the whole concept of double-blind on the audience.

Maybe they could do something about energy drinks. Since they could do both objective and subjective tests. It especially seems like something that they'd put Tory through making him drink a bunch of energy drinks until he spazzes out.

A bit behind the times since a couple of days have passed since it aired, but here is a radio interview that Captain Phil's son Josh did with a local Seattle radio show. They are friends with captain Keith and he's on the show frequently so I'm used to hearing them talk about Deadliest Catch, apparently a friend of Josh's heard them discussing his dad on the radio and asked him to call in. A pretty good listen. http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=108&sid=335547

For some reason the Mythbusters Top 25 clip show has been played on Discovery Canada already even though it's new (normally like 3 months behind in new episodes for some reason), and it's actually pretty good thanks to all the specific interviews. It again serves as a reminder to amaze me at the sheer depth of their archival catalogues and the editing prowess that stitches it all together so smoothly. They've got A/V wizards on that job.

This season's been brutal and really depressing across the board and knowing Phil died was just a black cloud hanging over all of it. I've been very compelled the entire season but its just a string of bad luck this season that is kicking everyone's rear end.

MrDingleDangle posted:no one wants to talk about tonights episode of deadliest catch?

Sig throwing the pack of cigs across the wheel house and then slamming off the light got to me for some reason. My dad had a massive thalamic (sp?) bleed a year and a half ago and seeing your dad in that kind of position is the worst thing ever. Especially because, and a lot of people don't realize, stroke victims become illogically emotional. Lots of sobbing crying usually. They don't ever remember it and it's clearly the brain freaking out, but when you're in that situation it is remarkably dark times and even if someone tells you "don't worry this is normal for stroke victims" it still eats at you  .

Holy poo poo the last 5 minutes. Knowing we've got another month of this just makes it all the worse. The fact that the next however many episodes are going to show Phil getting better and improving just make it loving heartbreaking because you know what is coming in that last episode. Also, Jake Anderson is absolutely tortured right now. I feel for that kid more than anyone else, because he's lost/losing his dad as well and he's essentially on the backburner. I'm not trying to weigh one life over the other but you have to feel for him here, its just been incredibly unfair for him in the last 2 seasons.

I typically have nothing but annoyance at anything involving Captain Keith. The guy just strikes me as a monstrous whiney douche bag. However, it was god damned heartbreaking seeing him lose it when he heard the news about Phil.

That was pretty sad to watch. Knowing how the whole thing turns out makes it even more I hate that they had to put that Coors Light ad at the end though. And Keith is usually a pretty massive douchebag but whenever there's news about a boat going down or some kind of an emergency involving a fellow fisherman that dude turns into a wobbly pile of tears which makes him slightly bearable. Edit: typo.

Jake Anderson's reaction was probably the most heartbreaking for me, because he was already dealing with a crappy situation. I really hope the crew of the NW start to ease up on him, at least after they see this footage, if they don't before the end of the season.

On last week's After the Catch, haring Jake talk about working through his pain because his family was counting on him more than ever, combined with the stuff about going out and getting some kind of big-deal boating license on his own time while guys twice his age are still bog-standard deckhands, makes him my favorite dude ever on the whole show. He looks like a wallflower but he's got the heart of a warrior.

I don't understand why you guys don't like Keith. He captains his boat the same style as John/Andy Hillstrand except he doesn't hide it as well and Keith treats his greenhorns like poo poo. That's it.

To be fair, Keith has had the worst greenhorns out of all the boats. He attitude didn't help but it was clear to see that Moi, for instance, just wasn't pulling his weight or even trying.

You know that his family and crew were the most important things in the world to him. I don't tear up easily, but it was tough not to get a lump in my throat when they showed the other captains reacting to news of his stroke.

I've softened up to Keith quite a bit this year. He can still be a dick but he seems like he has a pretty big heart. I like Andy but there's something so dickish about Jonathan that I'll never like. Fortner's a pretty good guy, though. Phil was like a big teddy bear. He was a hardass because of the job, not because that's who he was off the ship. The CM crew gets along great outside of the occasional brother fight. They get along way better than anyone else's crew.

The Opie season seems brutal this year. The Kodiak has SIX more deliveries to make? It's already cold as poo poo and it looks like next week the icepack starts closing in. It's probably a clip show, but my Tivo guide is showing a new episode of Mythbusters tonight, although its listed as "Mythbusters Buster's Cut" in the guide, so my season pass isn't picking it up.
