I really liked the way Casey kind of yanked away the crutch of having him up in the wheelhouse with Josh. Good learning moment. Few observations: -Why is Scotty on the Cornelia Marie? -Is it just me, or has there been not a lot of Time Bandit this season? And speaking of which, where was Captain Andy?

Scotty had a bit of drama with Captain Andy because he tried to make moves toward being a captain and getting some of his quota (by asking him directly) and Andy did not appreciate it. Scott's dad made it seem like he is there to help Josh more than anything, downplaying that drama though, so it is hard to see through the edited narrative and know what the truth is. Captain Andy typically fishes Opies, though in recent years, he has been on board for King too. He probably had something else to do this year, as with previous years.

He explained it in some episode this season that I forget. Josh and Scotty are friends, so he picked him up. edit: beaten.  quote:-Is it just me, or has there been not a lot of Time Bandit this season? And speaking of which, where was Captain Andy? Andy was sitting out King Crab season for health reasons, I think. Can't remember. Something was precluding him from being on the boat. I think it was mentioned sometime around the opening bits with the TB.

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. Gapey Joe Stalin posted:I find it hilarious that Freddy got fired for the sake of getting drunk in a hotel room. Shitbag. All those Pelican cases that were in the room Freddie was drinking in made me think that he was hanging around with TV crew people, since those are the cases they pack the equipment in. Which would have been an interesting bit of info to share, and just as interesting to omit.

I believe the captain said "he's in the Pelican room" as he set off for the hotel. Which would line up with that theory.

The boats have actively suspended chairs to keep the waves from beating the poo poo out of you. Even then they can't exactly isolate the person sitting on it completely, so you still get beat up, just not as badly as if you had an un-suspended chair.

Pro athletes, soldiers, ER doctors, etc have to do that poo poo all the time. Jobs a job. Not saying it's not manufactured in this case, but a lot of people can't leave their job, or maybe even can't afford to miss work to be there.

There's a shocker, unchecked dangerous idiocy on the Time Bandit leads to a serious hand injury. Again. They are really bad at captaining.

The fact that he rationalized that lovely behavior with "well we need him more than we need my nephew" and saying that he should just "shut up and take it" is pretty eye opening. You're gonna let some coked up dude slap family around because you think he's a hard worker? That kid almost lost his hand because instead of someone teaching him what not to do, they have a grown man playing with a cookie monster doll on deck making threats.

I don't care how tough and rough your job is meant to be, it's insane that the management were fine with someone striking a co-worker in the face, on a dangerous shop floor no less. The Health & Safety Exectuive wouldn't just shut that boat down, they would burn it to the ground and fire the captains into the sun. What's even more infuriating is that the poor bastard who got his had buggered also seemed to be by far the most rational member of any crew to appear on the programme. Did his job, gave a poo poo about safety, didn't cower to bullying, and kept his head when he was assaulted. I hope he comes back. And I also hope that he doesn't.

He's family with the boat owners so he definitely has a job waiting for him whenever he wants it, but if I were him I would def let his uncles know how douchey of a move that was. His father was too quiet about it too, imo.

What I meant is up until the Elliot call it was implied he was taking the season off to be with his wife and newborn. So it seems completely manufactured for the sake of drama, even going as far as zooming in on his phone to show Elliot calling while they had his wife pushing like he needed to leave right then and there. Kind of like the Jonathan Keith fight on the season opener a few years ago over sniping deck hands.

That just seems to be the way that job works. Also yeah all the Jake/Elliot stuff was the most fake of faked everything that ever faked.

Most Elliot stuff seems overly dramatic. Including his whole thing with him trying to dodge being served his papers. I just freaking wish he would leave the goddamned show. And of course the rehab place he ends up at (and name drops for no reason, really Discovery?) is the same rehab place that plays ads constantly on cable networks. Probably a complete coincidence and not a stealth ad at all. As for the kid taking a swing? I dunno. That dude looked so unstable and possibly not sober that there was a good chance he might not have accomplished much besides making the situation even worse for him. Was Colonel Cokefiend even the deck boss? I didn't pay attention to that part.

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. CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Jun 21, 2015 |

The YouTube videos of kayakers and spear fishers getting up close and personal with sharks, complete with muffled underwater screaming, is way better than "WE USED THE MOST ADVANCED FAKE SEAL TECHNOLOGY TO GET THIS lovely SHOT OF A SHARKS MOUTH" that happens most shark weeks.

The final shot of the show is just Keith dancing to Goodbye Horses while wearing a skinsuit made out of cameramen who wouldn't get him coffee. The crew will blame the female. Deadliest Catch will be rebooted 20 years later when Jake is running the Northwestern. And Elliot has another boat.

I get the feeling that all those holes and horseshit the Time Bandit dealt with wouldn't have been an issue if Scotty were still deck boss there. Andy was so terrified of his nephew wanting in on the captaining that they fired their only details oriented guy.
