Deadliest Catch

[roadwreck]

I'm gonna watch tonight without the commercials. I gotta stay out of this thread today...

me too! It's really hard not to open it though.

 

[snickerd3]

watched last week and this week last night...I think last weeks was a little better than this weeks.

I still can't believed they showed the stitches on tv...i couldn't watch that part...i had to cover my eyes.

I think they are trying to create way too much drama out of that storm. The stitches and the gash on that dude's eye on the Time Bandit are probably very common injuries on a crab boat. But they played ominous music and made a big deal out of pretty minor boo-boos. The way they were setting up the episode, I though somebody was going overboard or a boat was gonna sink.

I liked be able to watch without the commercials so much, that despite not having class on Tuesdays anymore, I still just tape it and watch the next day or on the weekend. Planning to watch tonight.

Wonder how the new Cornelia skipper will fare. Josh I like, but he was in a tough spot with Jake being on drugs. Jake is a petulant, entitled little whiner.

My favorite boat this year is probably the Seabrooke. Good numbers, little nonsense and drama.

I don't know if it's my favorite, but I do like the Seabrooke. I think they played up the conflict between the young captain and the crew during king season a little too much. If the show just had cameramen following the guys as they did their jobs, it would be a much better show. Once you get producers involved, it all goes downhill.

^seabrooke hasn't been on the show long enough to sell out yet. he definitely saved the processors @ss for king crab season. Finished his own then went back out to make up for the lack of performance on the Show ships.

Cornealia marie should have just sat out king season...still way to soon. Too elusive of a catch (Blue king) for a first and very emotional season back after the loss of phil.

I think there mistake was trying to fish blue king crab, they should have stuck to red king crab. Not catching the "elusive" blue crab turned the crew against the new captain. Had the captain had a few seasons of good fishing under his belt not catching blue crab wouldn't have been as big an issue.

at least freddie found a new home with the wizard crew

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Can't believe no Freddie on the Cornelia. Wizard got lucky. He's much better sloppy seconds than Russell was a few years back.

After the flaming hook on the NW, my favorite tradition was Freddie eating cod heart. I think that's what it was right? Edgar ate the herring head, and Freddie the cod heart.

lots of medical/injuries this season...or they are just editing it to draw our attention to it.

I don't think they showed the Cornelia Marie once in last night's episode. That was odd.

Did anybody else chuckle when that cocky shit of a captain on the Ramblin' Rose started pulling up blanks? I knew it was coming when they made such a big deal of him dumping all of his pots in the same place without a prospect string to tell him where the crab were.

 

[snickerd3]

I noticed that too, but they did spent a lot of time last week on them. I really can't stand the capt of the ramblin rose. super cocky, he has a mega case of the jitters like he is detoxing from something, I have a really hard time understanding him too, i don't know how they can understand his voice over a loud speaker.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Haven't seen last nights episode yet, but I know I really don't like the Ramblin Rose captain. He was on last week's episode of After the Catch. He's more of a douche nozzle than Jake Harris is.

 

[snickerd3]

what happened to the ramblin roses prop? I've missed the last few weeks. Mr snick was watching discovery last ngiht and they were replaying some of the newer episodes. I walked in just as the capt was saying the prop was gone or something like that.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I know they were having issues with their generators, but haven't seen anything about their props (unless it happened in this weeks episode I haven't seen yet).

 

[roadwreck]

the Ramblin' Rose prop issues were a part of this week's episode.

Spoiler

After finally finding crab the throttle on the Ramblin' Rose stopped responding. The initial diagnosis was that they lost the prop (a $40,000 repair and 2 weeks in port). After further investigation it turned out to just be a snapped throttle cable ($40 part). Crisis averted.

 

[snickerd3]

bummer.

 

[snickerd3]

still debating if I want to tune in this evening...so much to do at home from being gone all weekend.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I'm 3 weeks behind...summer class ate my free time like the crabs eat bait.

I actually really liked last nights finale. I loved the little battle at the end, that reminded me of something me and my old neighbor use to do, years ago. Good times!
