Thread: Deadliest Catch

The new season of the Deadliest Catch premires Tuesday April 13, at 9PM/E on the Discovery Channel.

This of course, is the last season, with Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, who passed away in February. Staffer at Discovery Channel said Captain Phil asked to keep the cameras rolling as he entered his final days.

You are welcome to discuss this...or any season of Deadliest Catch here!

Great idea! Love this show.

I tend to fast forward a lot through this show. There's only so many crab pots you can watch them count.

I am looking forward to seeing the Captain Phil story line. I met him, his boys and Johnathan Hillstrand few years ago at the Central Market in Plano. I didnt know they were going to be there. Just stumbled upon them while grocery shopping.

The Phil story is going to be a heartbreaker. I'm sure that the rest of the crew will be devistated. I wonder if they will even be able to finish the season. If I remember correctly they were about half way through the season when he passed away right?

Looking forward to this season! But I really hope they won't overdo the Phil's story...

Good episode tonight...they didn't even mentioned Capt. Phil's passing. Good thing because a lot of casual viewer probably think the episodes are recorded near real-time. I love how the season almost kicked-off with a fist fight...

I liked the new intro's in the opening sequence.....

Kind of weird how Sig predicted a "bad omen" because of the unusually calm waters at that time of year and what happens later to Capt. Phil.

Actually just before that Phil also mentioned how calm it was and how that could be a bad sign.

I didn't like the Jonathon -vs- Keith fight. Although Keith does seem to just do what he wants at times and probably deserved the bitch slap.

Agreed! Whether Keith was right or wrong...Jonathon was an ass. I honestly cannot stand the Hillstrand's or anyone on the Time Bandit.
