deadliest catch

power pants

This is very underrated. I have watched it since day 1 as Ive had experience on crab boats , obviously not on the bering sea though:pac:

Elliot being a boat owner, absolutley loaded to a junkie smoking heroin in the toilets of his boat

power pants

poor elliot , was a sad montage at the end

showing him being a skipper at 28, boat owner of a multi million pound boat at 32 and by 34 a heroin addict with nothing

It's really a great show, I take it you are watching the UK pace? I'm watching the us pace. I love this show, you will see a lot more of the crab mens life's as it goes on

power pants

elliot left the boat after working on deck and giving the wheel house to someone else

end of the programme saw him driving off in a blue pickup truck and the other captains saying he wont return and best of luck

I hope he does return

Ah even before he had his own boat, when he was on the Ramblin Rose he a bit of d**k. Never saw anything to make me like him much, I wouldn't wish ill of him though. Would be good to see him get clean.

I hope Eliot.doesn't return, he was always a bit of a d@@k. He treated his crew like s##t. Really feel sorry for his dad, having to work with him at the same time knowing what he's going through

he is a prize asshole but he is brilliant tv viewing :pac:

If you both like him, you are gonna love a new deck hand later on in the season

which boat?

I always think what boat I would like to work for. Sig's is guaranteed big money and a safe trip

sig is slave master though, 48 hours shifts

The time bandit.
Yea best boats to work on for me would be sig's or the time bandit

Snoopy1

I'd hate to work on the wizard or the saga or wild bills boat, can't think of its name

power pants

coburn's as well with all the in house love to freddy

freddy could punch coburn in the balls and hit him in the face with a crab and coburn would still fist pump the air and tell the cameras freddy is the best :eek:

Mightydrumming

I love Jake! I'd say he's the most clumsiest f*cker in the fleet haha

Which series are ye talking about here thats good (the heroin addict one)? I watched it years ago but gave up when it all became a bit boring and staged, the usual reality curse, wouldn't mind downloading this series if its gotten good again...

power pants

the last 3 seasons have focussed more on their personal lives. The main focus is still the fishing and the quotas.

I never really got the impression that it was ever staged unless you mean that they would show everything going against the particular boat and the last 5 mins they would get the winning pots and make a profit and all go home happy?

Think to be fair all boats do make a profit unless some mechanical failure on the boat eating into their earnings and its just edited for time purposes

I liked the season when Jake had a breakdown, was pretty harsh viewing

Thargor

Maybe not staged but they're always going on about the same crap, the stack is too high, the greenhorn didnt tie the pot properly, it all became filler towards the end when I quit.

power pants

yeah, that makes sense tbf. Probably the reason they moved a little more to their personal lives to give the show more substance.

BobMc

Elliotts been on a slippery slope for some seasons, his mind comes and goes, first he was all Val 'd up that hit the rocks, had some bird on board another season, I can only imagine after rehab his personal life has hit another downer taking him back to the drugs, shame to see him shoot it all way. Been a fan for years seen em all, the UK version has all the swearing if I recall the US version is heavily bleeped, so prefer our own version, didnt like the US narrator either

power pants

he went crazy with the val business

not surprising stuck in a wheel house 1000s of miles away knowing your sife is being plowed by one of your mates :eek::(

that was cringeworthy when he brought the random girl along with him on a trip :pac:

All in all

Gotta love the staged phone calls between Elliot and Jake asking him to be skipper. Looking forward to Sigs reaction.

Be interested to see what happens to the new head the ball on the Timebandit, can't see the Hillstrands allowing that carry on.

Snoopy1

Youve just watched the same episode as me. I can't see that guy lasting on the time bandit. Maybe on ships like the wizard where they put up with bullying, but not with Andy and Jonathan.
I just read that Josh is now a deckhand on the time bandit.

I didn't think that Josh would go back to the timebandit after he got politely pushed off by Johnathan before to get the Cornelia Marie up and running.

There never seems to be any mention of Jake Harris anymore, he was going an Elliot like road the last time we saw him.

power pants

he was a full blown junkie

he was mentioned in a show before the new season started that he cleaned out josh's dad's family home

Muahahaha

what channel is it on these days?

power pants

disc channel

9pm tue nights

Sugarlumps

Josh Harris, that guy is no captain. Giant douche with rat like features.

power pants

Definitely missing something here, Jake anderson. Great deckhand and engineer but has had very little experience skippering and sailing a boat. When he was on the northern western 2 weeks ago he could barely manoeuvre the boat to the pots, now he is going to do all this for elliot?

Looks like the next few weeks could be very good, however I have noticed that they are padding the episodes with very little at times, im always looking at my watch thinking only 15 mins left and nothing of note has happened

skipper_G

Watchin this now on Discovery. I don't like Captain "Wild Bill". Last couple of episodes really have me convinced he's a d**k

power pants

I thought it wasnt on last night? I checked and all I saw was a 2 hour ****fest of bear ****er

What time was it on?

Does UPC have like a similar on demand thing like sky ?

Just a reminder this is on tonight @ 9 on Discovery, in case anybody has the same problem as last week with the UPC series link

I'm not sure about that, I recorded tonight so watching now. Last week was the superbowl episode if it's any help ?

Having watched the first few mins of tonight's episode I can confirm this is not the episode that was shown last week but a new episode

power pants

strange

I watched it on some player and it was the one that came after the week I last seen. episode 16 I think

Seems to tie in as well but you might be right

skipper_G

Josh Harris doesn't really seem like he wants to be a Captain, more that he likes the idea of being a captain. Which makes him a terrible captain :pac:

listening to heavy metal and updating facebook whilst the others fix his boat

Maybe it's just a thing with the young captains, like Elliott he is a proper tool

I stand corrected, Anderson is laying down the law He seems to getting better after a nervy start

Jake looks very gaunt and wired at times, I know the job can be stressful but I also know him and elliot are very close....:pac:

imagine being on the wizard for the whole trip hiding in your bed as everyone hates you because you never disclosed your injured leg

I know what you mean, Jake is in recovery as far as I remember. That's why himself and Elliott are friends, they partied together and went on the wagon together.

And as for the Wizard, Keith can be pretty scary sometimes almost unhinged. Would not like to have been that guy

power pants

didnt know about Jake being on the wagon but it makes sense alright


Think the most surreal time on the show was when elliot brought his new junkie girlfriend on the boat for a trip with no real explanation as to why :pac:

there is another programme similar but in english waters on a mon night , Ch4 The catch

Its not bad at all
