![]() ![]() Whew! What a week! Last week’s episode of Deadliest Catch was emotionally charged, with the final showdown between the Cornelia Marie crew and their “skipper” (if you can call him that) Derrick Ray. After no evidence was found on Jake Harris’ person, and no evidence was found in his stateroom, no charges were filed as to drugs themselves and we ended the episode with Freddie aptly saying “This is not the same boat”. I agree with Ryan Simpson though….I can’t believe it went down the way it did, for everyone involved. I agree with Freddie, the boat won’t ever be the same….but maybe, just maybe, something can turn it around. So what’s to come this week? Let’s find out…. King crab season is coming to an end now. It looks like we might finally get all the vet boats on one episode….could Discovery have heard us? Oh, congrats to Deadliest Catch for finally being put into the right category when it comes to the Emmy race, “Best Reality Program” instead of the “non-fiction” category that always saw our dear show lose to some obscure PBS show. After 8 grueling weeks the end of the 2010 king crab season draws near. Captain Greenhorn Neese laments that there’s a lot of eyes on him, the Wizard has never had a run of bad luck like this, and then the Northwestern’s fight. Every man is ready to stack up and go home. For the final push, the Bering Sea will deliver one last vicious test. Johnathan says there’s a good storm coming and nothing comes easy for them. Sig listens as big weather is predicted as well. A 1200 mile wide Arctic hurricane is plowing into the Bering Sea and in just 19 hours will cover the red crab grounds. The first boat to feel the brunt is the Ramblin Rose. They need 2,000 more pounds. ![]() Off to the Northwestern now. Jake, Edgar and the rest of the crew wonder when the weather will show. ![]() Yeah! Time Bandit time! They’re skirting the southern edge of the storm. ![]() ![]() Back to the Northwestern…..more pots come in full. The crew has one final string to haul before chaining the stack and heading to Dutch. Edgar tells the crew about how Matt’s doing, which is not well. Edgar says this is what that crap does to you and they talk about how pretty much every person up there deals with that. Edgar talks about his own addiction, says burned out sailor fisherman, that’s how they suffer. As the sun sets the crew grinds through the final 39 pots of the season and for Edgar they could be the last. His sites are set on being able to go home at night and that requires him to basically quit. Of course he’ll worry about the guys, and he hopes that Sig realizes that they’re his family. Sig watches a pot come in and it is STUFFED. The crew cheers and Edgar jumps on top of it literally bouncing. Sig asks why it’s the last day this always happen, that this is their going home ticket. Edgar throws out the traditional flaming hook, saying it’s quite the send off….and they pull up an awesome last pot. We’re on the Wizard now. ![]() Onto the Seabrooke, in the heart of the storm. ![]() Back on the Time Bandit, they’re out of harms way and they’re conducting an experiment……it’s like these cloth balloons lit by candles or something. With the test complete it’s time to est the plan. Step 1, unplug the automatic identification system, Step 2, turn off the lights…..and finally, deploy 40 Chinese lanterns upwind of the Northwestern. This is EPIC! Love it. Love my Time Bandit guys. They begin to light and deploy the lanterns, and it’s actually very cool to see. They’re launching now! They totally look like UFO’s and that’s the point of this, to scare the shit out of the Northwestern guys, or just spook them out even. The lanterns fly across the sea, 1 mile downwind and Sig is lamenting the tough season. They’re steaming back to shore now. The crew is beat, they have over 2 million dollars in crab and Sig spots the lights! He’s spooked, you hear him saying “what the hell” and spooky music plays. He yells “What is that?!? What the f is that? Is that a boat coming, what is that?”. He yells to the crew asking what that is, is it a chopper he says? The crew goes out on deck and they immediately say it’s like a UFO. Johnathan then calls over the radio and BOOM, there they are, the Time Bandit. Sig says they scared the crap out of him, he says he thought it was a chopper, he didn’t see lights, and was pissed. ![]() The Seabrooke has the biggest haul at the end of the season. In the heart of the Alaskan red crab grounds, the storm hits and unleashes it’s fury. In the safe haven of Dutch, the battered warriors treat their wounds and collect their bounty. On the Kodiak, this could be Erik Anderson’s last check pulled from the sea (remember the foot last week?). In a place where careers are built on pain and suffering every man his a limited shelf life. Erik’s sacrifice landed over 2.1 million dollars of crab and over 32K for each man. The Ramblin Rose brought in a catch worth $900,000+ of blue crab, over 30K for his crew (each). Now he has to try and keep his crew, and none are too thrilled with coming back. With cash in hand perspectives can change and they’re coming back. On the Seabrooke, Junior struck out with two greenhorns before finding his men. But, for the skippers’ brother, Whipper leaves the boat with a possible hernia. But his pain won’t go unrewarded, the boat hauled in over $2 million in crab, and each member gets $45,000. On the Time Bandit, the crew is getting $250??? Huh? A bonus for anyone willing to dive for crab, OMG they’re having guys dive into the tank for crab. They got almost $1.2millino in crab and each deckhand gets $54,250. Wow, that looked, um, cold. We see an eagle flying over and we see the Cornelia Marie, who only got about $100k of blue crab. After paying fuel and expenses, the deckhands and the owners got nothing. Thanks a lot Derrick Ray you TURD. On the Northwestern, Sig calls the end of the season, Jake says it’s misery. But they still got $2.1 million in crab and each guy gets $56,000. Edgar says he’s nervous, he hasn’t talked to Sig about quitting yet. With that, he heads up to the wheelhouse. ![]() ![]() Our episode ends here and my heart breaks for Josh Harris. ![]() ![]() Rest in Peace Phil. Fair winds and following seas. See More... |
