I taped this week's epi and haven't watched it yet. Sorry to hear Moi is gone. I thought after all the bullshit he put them through the during the king crab season, when he came back for the opilio season he was going to be a keeper.

One thing that seemed unclear to me this week...Did falling when the wave hit have "anything" to do with Phil's illness? By the way it seemed on the show, the clot moving to his lung accidentally or rather "coincidentally" timed evenly with his fall. Like they had nothing to do with each other. It would have happened had he fell or not. Is that right?

that was how I took it Naja. The clot could have stuck in the heart and killed him. I'm wondering if getting jolted so hard helped to save his life. Odd that both happened at the same time. I was certain he was going to have emphysema or lung cancer. I was sitting her with hubby, smoking my cigarette, yelling "why doesn't he just stop smoking?". (I've quit 500 times myself!)

Phil explained everything. The rest of the show was what I would call the best of After the Catch. Next week is the final show this season.

Okay, I realize that Phil exlpained everything...but in my opinion he never really said what was wrong with him! All he said that he will know in 6 months whether he will live or die, and that he has to go to the hospital every couple of days. Did I miss something? I did get the part where he said that he DID break some ribs when he got slammed in his cabin, and I know he also had a blood clot that had a party in his innerds, but I still am confused about what was happening to him in the long run...is it the blood disorder? I loved the discussion between Jonathan and Phil about how they have to one-up each other on their cars. You can tell they are good friends.

Phil had a pulmonary embolism -- a blood clot that traveled through his heart into his lungs. He's very lucky to be alive. I would expect that he's on a six-month watch to ensure that no further clots develop. It can take a while to get the right mix of medications and such to be sure he's okay. I think it is unclear whether the rogue wave and subsequent fall had anything to do with the clot or not. It COULD have caused a clot to form and break free, OR it could have been a coincidence that just happened to occur in the same timeframe. Or, if you're so inclined, it could have been a higher power giving him a punch so that he'd pay attention.

Thank you for that information Max. My 11-year old son loves Phil and is concerned about him. I wish Phil would stop smoking.

Well, since I'm a firm believer in a higher power I think I will go with that explanation!

I haven't seen Phil smoke during the After the Catch shows this season. I noticed that the guys don't smoke at the table either when he's there except once, and he quickly put it under the table. When Phils not there they smoke like a chimmney.

Phil said at first he was told he would only live two weeks, but he didn't tell his sons at that time. Scary.

I'm not totally certain or clear on Phil but I thought I understood that the blood clot and fall were not connected. I thought I understood him to say that prior to being thrown out of his bunk that he'd been have trouble with his breathing and it got worse after the accident. Long hours of sitting, like the captains of the boats seem to do, could lead to clots forming in the legs and then traveling up through the heart and into the lungs. I don't recall any explanations of the two weeks or six months business but I thought I caught there was some concern he had cancer. Whatever the case I hope he makes it back to full health and possibly the show.

I think the original concern he had after seeing the x-rays was that he had cancer because the tech saw something wrong but wasn't allowed to say. Not completely sure about that though. He did say that his mother had just died of the same thing, a DVT which broke free, went through her heart and ended up in her lung. I sometimes happens to people on very long airplane flights if they can't move around. Phil and Sig are my 2 favorites and I sure hope that Phil will be alright. His boys, on camera at least, have been so brave.

Mack, I think you're right on the timing. That's why I sorta feel that him getting thrown out of the bunk was the universe telling him to wake up and pay attention to the other issue going on.

I missed the last show, will watch it later but caught the "After the Catch". It was about the production and was better than last years show. They are just getting better and better at this.

Phil and Sig are my favorites too. I watched a documentary about a job that is considered the most dangerous (per capita of people doing it) which is the people who climb up giant cell towers and work on them.. Tower Dogs, they are called and they travel around, work in crazy weather and 5-7 have died this year in the US. And they mentioned one young guy who is in the road 300 days a year and makes $14.95 an hour! That makes these guys on the crab boats seem so sensible! At least the successful ones make REALLY good money and have big chunks of time off (and now some have new gigs ono After the Catch and various talk shows too.)

I'm not a big gamer, but gosh it's making me crazy waiting for the PC version of "Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm" video game to come out. First it was supposed to come out in February, then June. But Xbox version had a few glitches so they delayed the PC version until July, and now it's delayed until the middle of August. It's driving me nuts. Did anybody try the xbox version? What were the glitches they caught and want to fix for the PC version? Is the game even any fun?

My son is waiting for the PC version of Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm as well. I'd love to hear what people think of it also. Btw ... Seamonkey, Nick's favorites are Phil & Sig as well.

I just got the windows version of the "Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm" video game. I am having a ball with it. I'm only through about the 7th mission where you are still learning. I think I'll wait until I am totally done with all the missions before I put it into career mode. I think kids and big gamers would be bored with this game, but it's just my speed

My brother wrote and asked me if I liked the game and this is what I wrote back. By the time he wrote me, I had already left the missions started the career mode. "I like it. I am playing in easy mode so I don't have ice, storms and big waves, the hard stuff...I'm just crab fishing...LOL I can barely get the boat lined up right to pick up a pot quickly yet, so I know I can't play it on the harder mode yet. I cashed in my first catch and got $60,000. I messed up on my first try and had to start all over. When I hired my crew, I didn't hire anybody with experience in engineering to fix things that broke down, and I had spent all my money on bait and fuel, so when my crane broke, I had to end my season because I didn't have enough money to fix the boat and no one on the boat to fix it. I learned my lesson on the next try. I saved 5,000 for repairs and I hired 2 deck hands that were also experienced in engineering (fixing the boat). It's fun! " Can you tell I'm having fun?...LOL

Vacanick, do you get the Sunday paper? If you do, the retail stores are supposed have them next week, so check tomorrow's paper for Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Tar R Us, etc. Video games usually come out on a specific day later in the week at retail stores, not exactly on Sunday like all the rest of their ad sale items...So if it's listed in the ad tomorrow, look closely at which day it's supposed to be there in the store. I know from when I worked in the office at Target, our new games came out on Thursdays, but they would be listed in the Sunday before's ad. I hope that made sense..LOL
