Crazy Ted posted:The montage they just showed on After The Catch was high-larious: Elliott has to be the most embarrassed captain on the planet. It's like he is one of those actors on a sitcom who you're supposed to hate because he is a cocky douchebag who does nothing right, but then you remember that Deadliest Catch is a documentary and that Elliott is being his real self. Props to Anderson though. The guy has worked his rear end off and deserves everything he has. I'd work for Anderson on a boat in a heartbeat.

Crazy Ted posted:They caught three million loving pounds of crab in a season disrupted by ice. How in the gently caress... Well, he played that to his advantage. While the rest of the fleet went home for three weeks, Junior and Keith took the risk to keep fishing and they made a killing. I gained a lot of respect for both captains after this season. As much of an rear end in a top hat Keith is, he gets the job done. And as cocky Junior is, he backs his poo poo talking up, unlike dumbass Elliot. I hope they keep them around on Deadliest Catch for seasons to come, for completely different reasons. I would love to see Elliot get his own boat and totally gently caress it up, and see Junior become the legend he says he wants to be. Also, Jake Harris has to be on meth. All of those sores don't just appear on one's face. He has become a joke, and it is pretty sad to watch. Luckily Josh is fully capable of carrying on his father's legacy, so that is something to look forward to in that family.

My guess is that his dad saw more of himself in Jake than Josh, at least until the end, when it was clear he began having doubts in Jake. So who thinks the Northwestern crew took it easy on Harris because for all intents and purposes, the boat was Bering Sea rehab for him? Seems clear Edgar didn't want him around after a while but Sig felt obligated to watch over him. I would love to see a retrospective of both Jakes and how they've changed over the seasons. I guess Josh too, but he always seemed pretty mellow, I dunno. Also, it's pretty sad to see Edgar's face whenever Sig comes up with reasons why he doesn't want him to captain their boat. I've said it before, but Edgar must have been pretty bad off in the past for Sig to still be hung up about giving him the boat.

ToastyPotato posted:Also came here to ask about meth, glad I am not the only one. I googled Jake Harris meth the day after the season finale, and it turns out that pretty much the whole Internet is thinking the same way we are. And, just a personal observation but he's got to be addicted to something. If you'll remember back to the shows leading right up to Phil's sudden stroke and death, Jake was having trouble on the Cornelia Marie; he couldn't follow basic orders, he was aloof, he was cocky, he was half-asleep on the job, and he just looked out of it. Then Phil caught Jake stealing Vicodin from his Captain's Quarters and Jake ended up in rehab. What were Jake's problems aboard the Northwestern? He couldn't follow basic orders, he was aloof, he was cocky, he was half-asleep on the job, and he looked completely disinterested.

They made a point this season though to show a little bit of Sig's thought process and what happened after they got the boat. Edgar is a good leader and a very good engineer McGyver type, so he works really well on deck. Does anyone know what happened to the 3rd Hansen brother? I rewatched season 1 a few weeks ago and I had forgotten him. It sucks for Edgar that he was stuck on deck. Sig has been a stick in the mud about letting go of the captain seat but it must be difficult for him. Even Edgar said he's one of the best captains he has ever seen. It seems like now though he is open to letting Edgar run the boat and he can kick back and maybe be like Jonathan on the Time Bandit giving advice to the brother. I would imagine pretty soon its going to be Sig as the overseer, Edgar as captain and Jake Anderson as deck boss. kri kri fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Jul 27, 2012 |

Marlex the Younger posted:I was curious about Junior and Edgar's comments about partnering up for blue crabs next season, since neither mentioned Sig. I wonder how that is going to play out. Is Edgar going to captain a different boat? Also, I think Sig mentioned something on ATC that his plan was to go into an administrative role and have Edgar captain the Northwestern soon. Who knows when "soon" will be. Either way, I don't think Sig wants anything to do with blue crab, so it sounds like Edgar might be getting his own boat. Edgar is more than deserving to be a captain, and to see him team up with Junior would be really fun to watch. quote:I still find it funny that even Phil didn't think Josh had what it took to be a captain, while he thought Jake was a shoe-in for the seat. I think towards the end, Phil acknowledged that Josh was outperforming his brother. But yeah, it is interesting that at one point Jake was the golden boy, and Josh was the college kid who didn't have what it took to be a crabber in Phil's opinion.

There was still potential. Had Jake given a poo poo, he could've been the captain of the Cornelia Marie by now instead of falling asleep on the Northwestern because he can't keep himself away from drugs. Josh is at least showing he has some desire to learn how to do the job and could probably be drat good at it. Jake on the other hand thinks he is simply entitled to be a captain. The rear end in a top hat is too lazy to work on deck, so why should anyone trust him with their lives and paycheck?

At this point, I'd be pretty shocked if Jake's story doesn't end tragically. He has been given so much and pisses it away, and he never seems phased by it. In the ATC episodes, whenever he is told this, he always seems to have the same reaction (that he had even when it was Phil himself doing the talking.) He nods and responds in agreement, and tries to inject compliments to the people criticizing him into the conversation. At this point, even if he manages to turn his life around, I don't see how he could do well on a crab boat.

Anybody checking out the new fishing show, "Off the Hook: Extreme Catches"? It's pretty interesting in terms of unusual fishing techniques, but so far the host, who seems to be going for some kind of "quirky badass mountain man" vibe, doesn't seem nearly as likeable compared to other Discovery guys like the Mythbusters, Turtleman, Mike Rowe, or Jeremy Wade. edit: Ok he's growing on me, wrestling his guide was kinda funny e2: would anybody give a poo poo about a Shark Week thread?

It could be me just misunderstanding the situation but I get the feeling Jake is on opiates because of how he acts. I also loved how he dipped out to go below deck when he was "tired" - ie he was getting his fix. I've lived with addicts through the years and have gotten really good at recognizing dipping out for fixes.

There's a show on SpikeTV about guys diving near South Africa looking for diamonds. I caught the last few minutes the other day, they were going out to the dive site at night and another boat was following them. Of course they ended the episode there and I didn't care enough to watch the next episode to see what it was. I'm watching American Guns right now and they're building a guy a shotgun that mounts to the handlebars of his Harley so he can fire it one handed. That seems all kinds of illegal. What would you even need that for unless you were in an outlaw MC?

It was shocking to see that old footage of Jake with his dad from a few seasons or more ago. He was much more alive back then. Even his last season with his dad (where he admitted to being an addict) you could see a big change in his demeanor.

If the biker dude filled out all the proper NFA paperwork for an SBS (short barreled shotgun), and only had it mounted on private land and not while he was cruising around on public roads, no laws would be broken.
