BonoMan posted:I thought they handled the end very well. They could've made it into a very heavy drama fest because you know they had footage, but they played it classy. They kind of went from Phil recovering spectacularly to Phil being kind of out of it and after that just Josh calling Jake in rehab and telling him Phil died. The whole thing was handled pretty well, and it seems like what we did see of Phil was because he wanted it seen. I might be a huge pussy but it really tears me up. Phil was the voice of reason among these guys and it just sounds like the guy had a ton of stress but had no way of handling it. I do the same thing with my foot too, gently caress.

Anyone else notice Hilstrand slam the hell out of Phil's motorcycle into a fire hydrant doing donuts at the end of After the Catch? The motorcycle Phil's kids are going to try to sell and give the proceeds to cancer charities? Good move, dick...

This was a really really hard episode to watch. My dad is the same age as Phil and has had heart problems and smokes like a fish. Ugh. The stuff with Jake and Josh was as real as this show has ever been, I didn't sense one thing that came off as scripted at all. I feel bad for them. I just hope they have other family and friends that are standing behind them. Josh I think will be okay, but Jake... I don't know. The way Jake was breaking down when he was arguing with Josh in the hotel room was a real tear jerker. It really seems like they're going to take the show in a completely different direction next year, and move the spotlight onto other boats. Cornelia Marie is definitely out without Phil, and the way they've been going, I don't think that the Time Bandit will be much longer for this world if Jonathan and Andy really retire, and the Northwestern without Edgar seems like a big downgrade. The Wizard will keep going strong which is terrible since Keith is by far the worst captain on this show. Re-runs

What's the deal with the boat since Phil has died? Who owns it? I heard somewhere that all of the boats on the show are under the same parent company? I don't want to bring politics into the thread, but conservatives are hijacking this saying that the family/boat would have gone out of business due to the inheritance tax if it wasn't suspended this year. Which is complete bullshit anyway, but I'm just wondering what is the boat's situation.

The boat is co-owned by the Harris family (originally Phil, now Jake and Josh), and the actual Cornelia Marie. There is an article on the website for the boat (http://www.corneliamarie.com/featured/the-future-of-the-cornelia-marie/), which was posted shortly after Phil's death, and tries to explain some of these things.

I saw a similar history writeup in an article I read after his death, but the Wikipedia entry on the boat had this to say.quote:The Cornelia Marie was built in 1989 in Alabama on commission from original owner Ralph Collins; she was one of the last boats built by Horton Boats. Named after Ralph's wife, co-owner Cornelia Marie Collins, she is 128 feet (39 m) long, 28 feet (8.5 m) wide, and carries 28,500 U.S. gallons (23,700 imp gal; 108,000 L) of fuel and 3,000 U.S. gallons (2,500 imp gal; 11,000 L) of fresh water.[1][2] The Cornelia Marie fishes for King, Tanner, and Opilio crab, and also does Salmon and Herring tendering. She features an aquamarine and white paint scheme with yellow banners bearing the ship's name.

To add to the above, Josh Harris was recently interviewed by Entertainment Weekly and the boat was brought up as wellquote:ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You said on The Tonight Show that you are trying to raise millions of dollars so you and your brother can buy the other half of the Cornelia Marie. Have you set up some sort of fund in Phil’s name? Fans may want to help out.

Gotta say, I thought the way they presented the end of the episode was very nice. The boats crashing through the giant waves and the crews half terrified and thrilled I think was a really wonderful counterpoint to the finality of Phil's death.

This Man Woman Wild thing, I don't know. They guy and his wife are really annoying. But I like how nothing is perfect like on those other shows. They can't start a fire. The snake has parasites. He's lovely at butchering the snake. They have the most massive knives out of any survival show, and build the most elaborate shelter. They seem to have tons of time to build things - but then they're not really hiking all day.

The inner child in me just cant laugh at his name. Mike Hunt. I only watched the first half of the show but his voice just sounds like a caricature of some crusty drill instructor and his wife crying over the turtle was great. I particularly like his comment when that lemur or whatever was in their tree fort. "He comes any closer im gonna whack him" As he holds that big gently caress off machete.

FogHelmut posted:This Man Woman Wild thing, The snake's worms are kind of nightmare fuel for me. I'm hoping that I am never forced to eat anything like that ever. Did anyone notice that the woman seemed reluctant as heck to wear her gloves? If I was in someplace as hot and steamy as that I'd be super-vigilant about not ever letting my hands get cut. Presumably her husband thought "Well, we're only going to be here three days... antibiotics will take care of any infection once we get out of here." The golock was awesome. I dig it. You can really see how Survivorman and Bear Grylls were hampered in their jungle trips by not having one. I see that Myke was able to put together an awesome shelter in what looked like 2-3 hours by harnessing the power of his huge knife.

Strange Matter posted:The Meatman episode of Mythbusters was on the other night. I saw the "Dumpster Diving" episode coming up on my DVR and almost didn't record it because I remembered the dumpster things being kinda dull, but I vaguely remembered the Build Team had a good myth. That might have been the best myth that the Build Team has ever done.

Strange Matter posted:Well that is also true. The fact that it collapsed the helmet itself was mind boggling. If the diving helmet collapsed? No, it wasn't exaggerated. The myth was specifically about the pressure at 300 feet, which they said was 135 psi. That's about 9.2 atmospheres. Now go look up the Byford Dolphin (unless a text-description of total body horror makes you puke). That was at 9 atmospheres going in the opposite direction. A change in just 1 or 2 psi (0.07-0.14 atmospheres) in too short a time period can cause an embolism. Nine atmospheres in essentially an instant? Yeah, you're paste.

Does anyone watch River Monsters on Animal Planet? I watched this show a few times recently and it's kind of odd. On the one hand this British guy goes all over the world trying to catch giant river creatures, ranging from huge catfish to stingrays the size of dinner tables. On the other hand the show tends to get really hyperbolic on the actual threat these creatures pose to people. Sometimes it's justified, but others it seems like he's just trying to scare people. It's a mixed bag.

That was at 9 atmospheres going in the opposite direction. quote:Diver D4 was shot out through the small jammed hatch door opening, and was ripped apart. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined D4, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient, violently exploded due to the rapid and massive expansion of internal gases. All of his thoracic and abdominal organs, and even his thoracic spine were ejected, as were all of his limbs. Simultaneously, his remains were expelled through the narrow trunk opening left by the jammed chamber door, less than 60 centimeters (24 inches) in diameter. Fragments of his body were found scattered about the rig. One part was even found lying on the rig’s derrick, 10 meters (30 feet) directly above the chambers. His death was most likely instantaneous and painless.  I retract my statement

I thought it was crazy when he managed to catch a FRESHWATER stingray in Thailand that weighed like 300 pounds, and then while in the net it spontaneously gave birth to two babies, both of which were the size of the normal stingrays I've seen here in Florida

I've seen plenty of them at the beach in NC/SC but those are fresh babies and already full grown for what Americans know of them. The mom is the stuff of nightmares. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7QuwVlJgWw
