I don't know if I can watch. It has been very hard to watch this season as it is.

The 1 minute preview on facebook is very hard to watch, I can't even imagine how hard the next 4 episodes will be.

I've been really proud of Josh this season. When he went on that boat, he didn't have it together at all. Now he's the one that has stepped up. His interviews have been very well done. He seems to have grown up!!

I agree Sabbatia. Especially after watching last night's episode. Josh made me cry as much as watching Phil. He really stepped up and never left his Dad's side. And poor Jake! He just looked devastated! So very, very hard to watch it all. I bawled like a baby. It was so touching watching them look at those photos together before it all happened. Geez! my eyes are leaking again!

I agree about Josh. He really stepped up to the plate, even in that he considered the boat, which would have pleased Phil to no end.

Hard episode to watch, and as we have previously discussed, how odd was it that Phil seemed to have an omen that his time was short. Glad he was able to mend things with Jake, even to the fact that he would go to meetings with him (not sure if maybe Phil didn't have a similar problem, or at least has had one in the past...his reaction to Jake taking his pills was really extreme).

Not happy to see Jake drinking last night on ATC.

That was a hard show to watch last night knowing the eventual outcome. I found myself thinking frequently about this was Phil's last trip, last time on the boat, and so on. Obviously they went through their hours and hours of tape to pull out the comments and moments with Phil that seemed to foreshadow his stroke and death and that made it particularly hard to watch.

On a lighter note, those Geico commercials with the Time Bandit guys crack me up. :-)

I watched last night's episode this morning and found it heartbreaking. I feel so bad for Jake, he must feel this is all his fault. I hope if he doesn't know now he will learn soon how deep a father's love goes and that even in addiction Phil adored his son.

Last night was so sad. I am so glad that in the end he was supportive of Jake, by saying I will go to meetings also. Then the three of them who were looking at pictures together. Thank you Discovery for not forcing the issue with dramatic narrative. I think they did a great job with this very tough episode, even though I knew what was coming.

Phil has said in the past he struggled with addiction. I am not sure for what.

Msbullwnkl, my guess Phil's addiction problem was alcohol, only because when he'd be on the After the Catch shows, it seemed he was drinking soda (pop if you prefer ) or water. Again, just a guess on my part.
And I hope Jake was drinking soda, and not a mixed drink. Many, not all but the majority of, addicts have cross-addictions, and he'd be encouraged not to drink alcohol for fear it would throw him back to his drug of choice. Early in my recovery, I'd order a Coke, but "dress" it so that it looked like a mixed drink. Stupid, huh. lol
A friend of mine, when asked recently why he quit drinking, replied "I'm allergic. When I drink, I break out in handcuffs." I almost peed my pants, laughing so hard, but oh so true in my case.
My prayers are with Jake that he beats this. It's not easy, and unfortunately the odds are against him.
Does anyone think Murray may come back to the Cornelia to skipper her? BTW, where's Murray gone to?

Phil sad in an earlier episode this season that he had done every drug under the sun. That's why Jake said to Phil "I get so sick, you know how it is" meaning being dope sick and withdrawing.

That's my interpretation at least

I thought Murray retired.

I'm confused. On last week's ATC I thought they said Mike had bought his own boat and was going to leave to fish...but this week's show it seemed Mike was being groomed to take over the Time Bandit. Or did I hear wrong last week?

The news of Mike getting his own boat was on After the Catch, which was filmed long after the discussion on the boat about Mike taking over.

Derek Ray is the one that took over after Phil had his stroke. From what I've read, he's a really good fisherman and was a close friend of Phil's.
