This is really really difficult to watch. Not just because Phil died but god drat get the camera out of that poor guy's face.

Wow, that was rough. Seeing these guys who are usually so tough show their emotions was so hard to watch. But this tribute is wonderful.

I might be imagining things, but was there a separate thread for The Colony last season?

I kept it together until I saw Keith and his setting of a full crab pot so Phil would always have some. Once I saw that, whew...I'm glad I was watching that alone.

I didn't know that Phil's father was still alive. Holy poo poo, that's rough. Sig's reaction went from humorous ( the look on his face of 'Why the gently caress is this guy acting like a weirdo?') to stunned disbelief and it was pretty rough to watch. Phil and his little dog

It was just so unbelievable to me that they were trying to pass off those people as actually believing their situation to be real. Either that, or they somehow found people who were even too crazy for MTV. It just became an exercise in constant eye rolling.

I was okay all the way up until they zoomed in on Jake sobbing as the Northwestern pulled away. And then after that it was a good five minutes of sobbing on my end. I almost had it back together, and then Keith set down the crab pot and I lost it again. God dammit. The mini-documentary about Phil's life was interesting though. I thought it was going to be a full on clip show, but I liked it. Guy had a fun life.

This show was beyond retarded, I couldn't even make it through 1 episode. The only way The Colony could work is if they got 10 coma patients as participants (Hell, ask the Chinese, I bet they'd be willing to sell 10 coma patients to a production studio). Basically a hybrid of "28 Days Later" and "The Truman Show". That would rule.

The Discovery Channel Megathread: Phil Harris is Dead Yeah, The Colony did have it's own thread. The show started out well, and then turned into a trainwreck of the worse "Reality TV" stereotypes.

Just got caught up on the last 2 episodes of Deadliest Catch. My god, I shouldn't have watched them back to back, it was heartbreaking. The tributes on the boats were so great, though. The Time Bandit and the fireworks was classic.

Keith's reaction was probably the hardest for me to deal with. To see these hardened crab fishermen opening sobbing was rough.

I was surprised they didnt actually show him getting the news. Just hearing about the stroke he broke down, I can't imagine what his reaction was like hearing that Phil had died.

I actually found Edgar's reaction to be the hardest to watch. He has been pretty sentimental this year with his injury, but still comes off as a hardass when it comes to work. Having him openly weeping at the table around the rest of the crew was a really good scene.

Northwestern Jake is the one that got me the most. That kid's had a hell of a couple of years, with his sister last season and now his dad. It seemed like it hit him all at once and he just looked miserable.

The thing that got me that I didn't notice the first time I saw the Meatman episode was the blood gushing out from between Meatman's teeth.

Teek posted:Colony 2 location on Google Street View Its better than that Warehouse in Los Angeles they were dealing with last season. I really do love The Colony, because people seem to love "Zombie Apocolypse" movies. Rarely do you have a movie, let alone a reality show that puts the people near the end, when population is at a standstill and the major governments have disappeared. It really is one of the smartest reality shows on television. But it pretty much could be summed up to "If you are not an engineer, you are hosed." http://www.jointhecolony.com/ is also a pretty fun website intended to promote the new season of "The Colony" by using your Facebook friends to "update" on the pandemic going on.

Also: if Deadliest Catch doesn't win a 2011 Emmy for the last half of this season I will swear off all television save news and weather, for there cannot be any justice in such a world.

Discovery did a mini-marathon of Deadliest Catch today, which got me caught up on the entire Phil Harris tragedy. I don't regularly watch, but this was something I had certainly heard about, and I think like most every other human, I couldn't help but watch. I quickly realized that Discovery was smart, they didn't make it all about death. It included Phil's fight. But at the end of the show, it wasn't about Phil anymore, it very quickly and rightly became about how everyone reacted. This is reality TV's ultimate reality, coming to grips with death. It's sad and painful and pretty drat moving. Phil's crab pot is a pretty great tribute.

The behind the scenes episode was also really good. I didn't even know it was airing, and somehow my dvr managed to get it between the power going out every .04 picoseconds today. It was really nice seeing the relationships the camera guys had with Phil, and that Phil told them to keep going until the end.
