Deadliest Catch

[pureinsanity]

I use to be into this show and watch it all the time. Even the reruns. However lately it just doesn't grab my attention anymore. Im trying to figure it out and I think the main thing that is losing my attention is because Phil is no longer a part of the show....

Anyone else having a hard time watching this show?

Agree it was a weak show. Why are the Ramblin' Rose and the Cornelia way up north for blue crab? I guess they were "lucky" to get quota on a species that has been closed for a long time. It occurs to me they would have been better off fishing red king. Then again, based on the performance of the Wizard and the Time Bandit, maybe not.

It's got to really be demotivating to set 100+ pots several days in a row and have next to nothing to show for it. Keith made a good decision in letting his crew get some sleep after 3 days of getting nothing.

I don't get the new captain of the Cornelia, he has this attitude doesnt want to listen to anyone, the comment he made about well Phil is dead hes not here, guy just rubs me the wrong way

[Big Tom]

With rationalization shrinking the number of boats 5 years ago, you'd think there would have been a deep pool of Captain's to pick from.

Edgar peering in the window and asking Sig if it was "take your daughter to work day" when the kid was driving was funny.

Do you have Google

I just caught the last 5 minutes of the 2nd episode, but from reading comments here I didn't miss much. Maybe tonight's show will be good.

Anyone else think that josh would make a better captain than jake on the cornelia? He seems to take it much more serious. I was also shocked to see jake is (allegedly) smoking weed on the boat. If thats the case, he needs to be fired.

[solbes]

If true, Jake's got real problems. Working a crab boat, trying to stay up for 30-60 hours at a time is a tough place for an addict to try and stay clean. I hope it's not true, but kinda doubt it.

I agree about Josh having it in his blood. You could tell he became much more of a leader last year. Only a matter of time and taking his captains classes before he'll take over.

[mrklean]

That boat is just a mess, the captain seems like a jerk, Josh wants to keep everything together and not lose the boat and Jake might be doin drugs again messed up, I found it funny how Keith was takin shots at the Time Bandit saying he has a $2 million boat payment and Johnathan has a corvette payment to make.

I'm sure jonathon thought it was a riot too when he saw it!

I thought last night's episode was a little on the boring side other than the possible issue with Jake.

[Bryce]

Am I the only one to ever notice a funny smelling cigarette? More drama for the cameras is my guess. I can see slipping away from the cameras long enough to pop a few pills. Phil's son at the wheel and all the cameras gone while he fires up a doobie? Not buying it.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Drama to build up ratings, then add to it a possible brotherly fued with Josh and Jake vying for the wheel

[Ryan_V]

Last night was a little better. Bill should kick that guys you-know-what! Hes quite the...... I can't believe keith didn't fire lynn after he fell asleep

[solbes]

I love how Lynn turns off the alarm so he can go back to sleep. Nice touch there.

Cornelia Marie is in shambles, must break the old mans heart if he's up above. Hope Josh can get his license so he can continue on the tradition. I'm not sure how extensive it is, but he needs to get on it.

I really like the Seabrooke captain. Guy seems to get it and doesn't have a lot of extraneous drama. Wild Bill, well he kinda gets what he gives.

I think those boys on the CM are forgetting their roles. Deckhand now, owner later.

I hope for the best for Josh and Jake with whatever road they choose. They're pretty young yet to have lost their father and cornerstone of their lives.

It seems like everyone is pushing for them to fill Phil's shoes in some way - and soon. I just don't think either are ready to take control of a boat yet. Heck, neither of them were deck boss yet on their own crew.

The C/M is owned by someone else and they'll be the one to decide who skippers the C/M in the future. Maybe they'll look to the Harris boys to show some initiative toward taking it over but I would be surprised if happened within the next few years. Just my take on it.

If the crew can stay together and weather this out, someone will be a lucky skipper to step on a boat with a crew as tight as theirs.

Rest in peace Phil.

...Or not...

Those kids are a couple losers that wouldn't have had jobs there if their Dad didn't captain the boat. They need to get over the "I lost my Dad deal" and get to work and shut up. I know lots of people that lost a Dad and they didn't become idiots because of it, you move on and keep going.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Jake did nothing to try and prove his innocence. Seems as Josh is stuck in the middle, IMO, trying to help on the ship but sticking up for his brother. All in all, too much drama and added just for TV drama on the CM for me.

Life on the wizard doing nothing for me either. Keep it to the NW, TB, Seabrooke and Wildbill

[Double D]

I hate to accuse anyone of anything, but that Steve guy n the CM doesn't look 100% innocent. He was the dude sneaking off with Jake on the first show and coming 2 hours late, he has Jakes back all the time, he would have to be gone too. I feel sorry for the other 2 guys on the boat.

Interestingly enough, if you check out the Cornelia Marie HSOforum, all those guys are listed as the current crew.

I think it was crummy for derrick to call the cops, but jake was quite obviously hiding something. I hope josh can keep it together and keep the boat going

They certainly did edit that way anyhow.
