Just watched the latest episode of Deadliest Catch and my god Keith and company are assholes. Even as he's in the process of getting off of the boat they had to gently caress with him. I hope he found that octopus before it sat too long.

Also those previews for the next episode. I really was not expecting to see that hand injury. :gonk:

I had no idea how far Jake Harris has fallen in the last 3-4 years. In the newest DC they revealed that he broke into one of Phil's old pads and stole a bunch of stuff to keep his drug habit afloat.

Yeah, this episode about the Harris brothers and the Cornelia Marie is :smith: as gently caress.

I still miss Phil, he was by far my favorite captain.

I would have felt like the world's shittiest person if I was in Keith's position during that crewman transfer.

I'd just feel so guilty, dude broke his arm just for trying to help.

That wave slammed him hard too. Wanting to go back out immediately and jumping in the water after that walrus in a previous season pretty much confirms the dude's legitimately crazy.

yeah is everyone forgetting how big of a psychopath bully rear end in a top hat Freddie is?

I actually did halfway forget just how badly they bullied that one greenhorn, what was it. Last season?

The Wizard is full of dicks.

Freddie was a really likeable guy on the Cornelia Marie, but he got to the Wizard and became a shitbag. It doesn't help being under command of Keith The Grunting Jackass Colburn.

Also, I hope Elliot gets the help he needs, but I also hope that's the last we see of him on this show. DC's about the only "real" docu/reality show I think that's still out there (and I think that because you can't really fake what's going on in a Typhoon in the Bering Sea), but his entire saga (pardon the pun) always felt tinged with "let's see what controversy or bullshit we might be able to generate with him for drama".

It's almost like Freddie takes on a bit of the persona of the captain he's with. He was great on the Cornelia.

I agree with you on Elliott. From the moment he started on the show his air time has been more about his ex than the crab fishing. I think this is the first season where you actually got to see someone from his crew besides his dad. At least that's how it feels.

It is but I'm pretty sure the average captain isn't retarded enough to actually do his drugs while on the boat, while the employees are working, with a TV production crew on board.

Elliot is far from your average captain. It's a shame really because you can see that there's a smart guy underneath all the creepy and douchiness.

I mean, Jonathan also had to sit out like one or two crab fishing seasons because of back problems himself. It seems to be common amongst the older members of the fleet.

I imagine working that deck does a number on your back.

He's going to rear his ugly head again on the Wizard or one of the other lovely boats on the show.

Probably as Freddy's replacement.

E- Does Discovery do these little look in things with any other of their shows? It's a pain in the rear end to see the show come back on on DVR only to have it be a 30 second snippet before more commercials.

I would kinda like to see him on the wizard. Those guys are pretty big dicks as well.

I've also seen those snippets with Mythbusters. They annoy the poo poo out of me.

After seeing what happened to/on The Saga during Jake's first episode in charge, maybe he should have stayed on the Northwestern :stare:

The fact that everyone was rooting for Josh and trying to help him get that boat back just to watch him not give a poo poo is really depressing.

Mine was the water heater. I loved their reactions to it finally going off.

Thinking back, I vaguely remember a segment on Mythbusters (at least I think it was Mythbusters) where the Build team show that the pendulum from the Pit and the Pendulum could not have sliced through a person due to the blade losing inertia from going through the body. I tried looking, but did not find anything. Does anyone remember such a thing?

I can't recall if it was Mythbusters but I do remember this.

It started off slicing through the skin and then once it started reaching meat it just came to a stop with a sickening thunk.

To be fair that kid was kind of a poo poo stain dick head to the crew before that happened. It's called fitting in. You aren't in an office job where you can do your own thing and ignore everyone else besides the most basic interaction.

Violence isn't the answer to that problem, however.

That was the episode where it clicked just how much of a douche Freddy really is. He was so lovable on the Cornelia Marie

Yeah I could see Josh trying to sequester his brother from national attention. I feel bad for them, it seems like their dad was the only rock in their lives and now they have no clue what to do.
