I've been watching some of the Deadliest Catch marathon and I tear up when I see Phil or hear his voice. Just saw the one where hd and Jake had a contest hand coiling the line and Phil came out on deck after 20 years and smoked Jake.. and at the end he gave Jake a full share.

And the preview for the new season: that song.. makes the tears flow too.

I haven't seen the preview for the upcoming season, but thanks for the heads-up, Seamonkey; I'll look for it and set the DVR accordingly. I do enjoy "Deadliest Catch." Phil will be missed by so many; it's not surprising that at least one of his sons is acting out. I'm not saying it's "okay," but I do think it's not uncommon for a person to react that way after losing a loved one.

That same show (the rerun) had some prophetic words from some of them about living each day as if it is your last.. this was when one of the guys on Sig's boat got a call that his sister had died.

At least we'll have Phil for part of the season but it is gonna be hard to watch.

Tuesday at 9pm (and 11pm), I think, for the new season.. two episodes, one on Opilio and one starting the King Crab season.

"Deadliest Catch" is a series that I didn't think I would like before I ever watched an episode. It's interesting that it is must-see TV for me now. I find the guys' lives interesting and I'm always in awe of how they risk their lives every single day. My DH has a dangerous job, too, so maybe that's part of the interest for me, and one reason I respect the crab fishermen so much.

The new commercials kind of make me tear up.

I watched, and it was very different from the norm. They had a different montage to go with the opening song. And the captains' gathering the night before sailing was tense! Captain Jonathan and Captain Keith got into a shouting match that ended with Jonathan shoving Keith hard and knocking him on his butt and the other captains stepping in between them to keep them from fist-fighting. Jonathan ended it by telling Keith to not call his boat ever - the only time he would talk to Keith would be if Keith's boat was sinking. All I could say was "Wow!"

The two Jakes were told that they were switching boats. They are being treated decently by the other crews, and while shocked at the change, seem to be coping well.

So sad seeing Captain Phil! Especially when he is talking with his boys. I am trying to enjoy Phil while he is still in the show and trying not to think about him not being around any more.

Hope that helps til you both can watch!

I agree it was so sad watching Captain Phil!

As you said "I am trying to enjoy Phil while he is still in the show and trying not to think about him not being around any more." I feel EXACTLY the same way!

He is such a larger than life personality that I am afraid the show will feel empty without him. I worry about his boys. I feel they needed a few more years of his mentoring.

It was a good show but it has a bittersweet feeling to it, doesn't it?

I think switching Jakes was an interesting thing to do and it is interesting to see them out of their regular environment. Nice to see the trust that Phil and Sig have for one another. Of course they did discuss this in the past but I guess Jake and Josh's fighting really got to be an issue (for some reason I don't think a lot of Deadliest Catch is staged, unlike most reality-type shows...I just don't think these guys could pull that off if they wanted to).

I liked the new captain and it should be interesting to see how his son works as a greenhorn.

Roxip, what did you think of Jonathan's and Keith's argument? I can't recall at the moment - did they show Keith talking to that Time Bandit crew guy?

They only showed the crew member telling Jonathon what Keith said. We never saw Keith say it. I bet it was just some ball busting joke type of talk. Like saying if he wants to work on real boat, to try working on his. I can't imagine Keith trying to steal someone's crew member.

And the fight made me uncomfortable. I hope it was all show. I mean the whole get-together seemed rather contrived in the first place. (So did the whole switching Jakes drama). They are trying to make stories where none would normally be.

I wonder the same thing about the fight, Naja. Remember, was it last season that Phil and Keith got into a verbal tussle over Keith matching Phil "pot for pot for pot for pot?" Remember how they showed Phil saying that what little friendship there was between them was gone? And then during "After the Catch," they were all chummy-chummy again and acting like it was no big deal.

You are right - they need to just let the stories unfold on their own without "creating" drama. There is enough drama in their work to more than make everyone happy.

I don't know if it was all show or not. It was just really uncomfortable. I thought that maybe Jonathon was maybe being a little showoffish imo, but he looked a little bit sorry soon after the push like he didn't mean to push him flat on his butt. After last season, I seem to have lost a little love for both the Wizard and the Time Bandit crew. Hopefully it will come back. What did Johnaton say to Keith about his brother right before Keith got into his face and was pushed? I rewound it, but still could not understand it.

Most of these guys probably knew of each other, but didn't know each other before this show even started if that makes sense. And this show has probably made bonds and just like some jobs, some people just don't click, but the show must go on.

As for moving the Jake's, I don't know if that was set up for the show. It sure looked like both Jake's did not know it was going to happen and Edgar didn't seem too thrill of the idea when Sig was telling Jake. And Sig did start looking a little guilty when Jake went all puppy dog on him. But it looks like both Jakes are doing well, and maybe it was actually a good idea. And I got all warm and fuzzy inside when NW's Jake said that he felt more comfortable with speaking more on the CM. Just makes me want to squeeze him! But dang...he has changed a lot since he first came on. I can only imagine how hard that kind of life really is.

It was so hard to see Phil, but I am going to try to enjoy him as much as I can during this season, as this was his last gift to us.

I was so glad that the season started off really good, with nice weather and everyone really happy. I hope it stays that way.

And what is up with Russell boat hopping? I just had to lol when I saw him on the new boat.

the "two jake switch" was discussed on one of the "After the Catch" shows last season. As for friendships. The Hillstrands/Hansens/Harris families have been friends for generations as all of their fathers were also crab fishermen together. Edgar looks upon Jake Anderson as if he was a little brother. His uncle is on the Northwestern also, so he is very much like family also.

I don't know about the fight in the ship. It seems to be that over the years all of the captains have had a problem with Keith and he doesn't appear to be well respected. Even on the After the Catch last year I thought there was some tension between Keith and the other captains, and I know that Phil made a point of telling Sig that there was only one boat that he would trust enough to put his sons on. It might have something to do with the fact (I think this is the fact) that The Wizard is a corporate-owned boat and the CM, NW and TB are owned by the families (if this isn't true I apologize).

I think the meeting by the burn barrel is orchestrated by the producers. But it is a way to get the captains to deliberately interact with one another.

I think the captains do know one another fairly well. Dutch Harbor is a very small town and I have always gotten the impression that they congregate in the local bar. Didn't we have someone who posted here for a while who was a captain's wife (not one shown on DC) and she knew all of the other captains?

Keith and his brother are "newcomers". Even though they have been crab fishing years, they are not of the "Old" families and probably on the outskirts of the band of brother thing.

Most of all the guys live in Seattle. They are only in Dutch during the season to load and off load.

Yeah, it was in reference to Keith sending them out to tarp the traps in that horrible weather last season, and that big rogue wave came and almost killed the people working on the tarp. His brother Monty ended up with broken ribs and other injuries. I remember Keith being really upset about his decision to have them go out there in that weather.

Yeah, that was a low blow from Jonathan. But it probably refers to the fact that Keith should have put the tarp up before they left port.

I haven't watched the first ep yet or read here but on Larry King now and I assume later tonight, he has something about Phil and the season.

I read in my local paper that a memorial celebration is planned in Seattle for Phil on April 30th. My husband has recently seen Josh a few times at one of the local casinos.

A public memorial will be held April 30, and CatchCon the day after, May 1, in Seattle. I'll be there.

Ah, Yank, wish I lived up there but I'll be there in spirit.

I still haven't watched the first shows.. heck I was crying just watching Larry King.. I swear I wanted to smack Larry.. they showed the clips of Phil and Sig telling the Jakes they were switching and one of the captains on Larry's show started to reminisce about Phil, saying just like Phil to say it like it is and Larry just talked over him to ask a stupid and off topic question :-( And most of the questions he asked were general about crab boats and stuff that has been covered, even on Larry's show.

I was ticked about that too!! I wanted to hear what the captain had to say about Phil. Also Larry had too many guests on that night. A full hour to Phil with stories and testimonies from his fellow captains and crew would have been better than 15 minutes of Phil's friends and Pamela and something else I forget.
