The commercials leading up the season premiere were done in a tasteful, subdued and bittersweet manner. The understated nature of them really allows some comfort for what we all know is coming.

I think alot of people have worked that hard and for 12 months out of the year, but it all changes on the pitching deck of a tiny little bobber in the middle of the berring sea...balsy dudes of the first magnitude...stress factors tripple.....I watch the show and think I could do that maybe if I was 22 and ...I watch some more and think, no way!!
It would be fun to me to try it for a season..if I was 22 again and focused and ..and ...and ...and...no fukk'n way..lol
I can believe that article where Phil sais his first day he quit, crawled up on the galley table, and was sick ,and the captain came and said, I knew you couldn't hack it and Phil got up.......... and here it is 30 years later.. he has that look of a challenge met.Comment

Here's an excerpt from the book Time Bandit written by Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand 2008 where Johnathan talks about riding with Phil Harris..
I took the Harley out with a crabbing buddy, Phil Harris, who rides with no windscreen and no helmet. He was going over ninety miles an hour down the highway, lighting one cigarette after another with a powerful butane lighter. That is what I call dedication.Chainsaw MuthuafuckaComment

One evening we rode my Harley to a local bar. We were minding our own business, enjoying a few drinks, when three guys parked themselve beside us at the bar and started hitting on her like I was not there. She brushed them off politely but she made it clear that she wanted them to leave her alone. I let her handle it.
These guys left the bar and came back more stoned or drunk than before. They would not leave her alone. She is beautiful, admittedly, but this went way beyond that sort of attraction. They were looking for a fight. With a few out-of-bounds remarks from them, she went quickly from uncomfortable to angry. The situation was heating up fast. They started to pump up their aggresion. My girlfriend gets hit on often. Most guys get the message and move on. These guys were not taking no for an answer.
I do not get mad easily. But when I do, I can fight to the death. I am focused and I can smite an army with the jawbone of an ass, as Ezekiel said, I think.
It came to that. I took one guy down on the floor and held my fist to his face. I said, "I don't want it to be this way". He said okay.
I turned around and he got up off the floor and punched me from behind. The whole bar began fighting. I tried to stay out of it. The three guys who bothered my girlfriend went outside. We turned back to face the bar. They came back in and the big sonofabitch grabbed her hair and slammed her forehead against the bar and said he'd find her, rape her, and kill her.
I told him, "It's time for you to leave".
The bartender was on the phone to the police when I was taking these guys outside. The fight was quick. I threw the would-be rapist/killer down on the ground and pulled his head back and kicked as hard as I could. Blood flew everywhere. He went limp. His two friends jumped me and hammered away; I have a head as hard as a helmet; You can pound the shit out of me for hours and you will not knock me out. I was wearing them out, and in a real fight that dose not take long. My girlfriend screamed and scratched and punched. She fought like a wildcat. She bought me a few seconds to run over and slam-kick the big sonofabitch in the face with my boot. The only thing that moved on him was the blood from his ears.

Didn't Phil also have a problem with Keith last season or the season before last...setting out pots where Phil was fishing and they got them crossed up?Comment

When I lived in Oregon we used to get into debates over who were more psyco. Loggers or fishermen? It makes me laugh that they do reality shows on each now. I worked on a fishing boat up in Alaska to pay for college but I worked on a Japanese boat with a Japanese captain. His boat was dry and no booze allowed. Let me tell you, there were secret stashes of sake hidden all over that boat, you would go under deck looking for something and an in some hidden corner, sake.No!

I had severe heath problems about two years ago and almost died. Red Bull was the only thing that kept me going. When you feel like shit and have no energy that stuff keeps you going. Drinking lot's of Red Bull sometimes is a sign a person has health problems and it's how they are jump starting themselves. I don't touch the stuff now.No!

Mike Rowe nailed it. I think one of the main reason this show is popular is it's REAL. The world has become almost a virtual reality of manmade bullshit. Especially if your job is working in an office that deals with man made games like taxes, regulations, inspections and such. We live in a world were money is literally made from nothing by an elite few who control the banking computers. A crab fishing operation is real, everything that goes on, goes on for real productive reasons and mistakes can be fatal.I guess it comes down to this. The world is desperate for authenticity. In business and in real life. In work and play. We crave it I think, because it’s in such short supply. Consequently, when we see it, we’ll wait for it. We’ll watch it on TV. We’ll stand in line for a chance to be near it. Fans, fishermen, CEO’s – we know authenticity when we see it, even if we’re not looking for it. And Phil Harris had it in spades.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

It the promos run over the weekend on the Discovery Channel are to be believed, tonight's episode depicts Captain Phil's stroke and his departure from the Cornelia Marie to the hospital. To tell you the truth, I dunno if I'm even going to watch. This season has been a downer with Harris' death looming over it, and the title sequence being used this year showing the men in a grave yard, then quickly zeroing in on Phil has been hard to see each week. This episode begins the countdown to the inevitable, and I'm not so certain I wish to go through it all again.

Last week on the show "After the catch" (I didn't see it) Johnathan talked about Phil, and broke down, refusing to say anymore. I've tried to fine it on a download, but no such luck. I wonder how much the shit-fuck kid stealing his pain meds, and his confession strained Phil to the brink. I admit they've been playing it up but you can't help but think the people that worked on the show and worked with Phil probably feel worse than the people that only knew him on a screen....It the promos run over the weekend on the Discovery Channel are to be believed, tonight's episode depicts Captain Phil's stroke and his departure from the Cornelia Marie to the hospital.
