Yep, and I thought I heard the faint chant of, "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" in the background.

Overall I thought the first episode was pretty awful until they finally got out to sea and ship sinking and stuff at the end. It was a setup episode for the rest of the season, they didn't just cross but instead it pole vaulted over the line of 'this is people living their lives doing a deadly job' and firmly into 'Day of our Lives' territory with how the swapping of crewmembers and the Captain's code being broken or whatever.

To be honest...every episode is nothing more than a soap on a boat, and it's only interesting because the cameramen and producers bait the cast and crew into saying and/or doing something stupid. After all...how interesting would it be to watch grown men baiting, pulling, and unloading pots for 60-minutes each each week? Not very! Seriously, the show really isn't anything more than a "guys soap opera" as Sig Hansen recently mentioned.

Anyway, Capt. Sig didn't exactly do a very good job of promoting the show recently... (funny video):

I really liked this episode ...

I liked the "twist" of deckhands; I like the new Captain; Anytime a boat sinks and people get off is worth watching; I liked the throw-down at what is suppose to be an easy dunk "happy talk" segment, and I like that editing is giving the audience credit of knowing what happened to Phil.

I really enjoyed this episode as well...

It has a bittersweet feeling to it, knowing what occurred with Phil ahead of time...
