has anyone seen this 'deadliest catch' show?

I do like the elements of tactics and risks (financial mostly, not necessarily the physical ones, but those are OMGWTF) involved. Do we keep on fishing even though the ice is encroaching? Will we lose a pot once the ice moves in? Do we keep fishing around the clock to meet our quota?

Huh? It took me all of 20 seconds to find torrents for all the episodes...

Phil Harris, biker dude captain, dies of a stroke aged 53. :(

just started watching this a couple weeks ago and got attached to phil and then just tonight saw the season 5 recap ep where he died :(

new season starts tuesday!!!

this is so great fyi

like i don't think i'd watch it weekly but sitting down on a sunday afternoon and just marathonning the shit while going in on a pizza is classic

Even when the guys are grandstanding it's still great viewing. My dad spent one season out of Dutch harbour, he met that one Norwegian dude

just started in on it, netflix instant, marathon-style. there's a lot of redundancy (for the tv/commercial format), so much that it's aggravating after just a little while. also, the constant cymbal swells are grating. fascinating material though

I am an epicene individual. If you could see me now, picking ungulant, opalesque chocolates from a gift box, hot pink varnish barely dry on three-inch nails, a Rita Hayworth frock half-on, half-off because there's no-one to zip it up, you'd see what I mean.

I was born a man. How did I get this way? Well, it's partly down to oestrogen in the water supply, but mostly just due to the sedentary lifestyle we men live in the 21st century. There are no bears to wrestle to the ground, and cockfighting has been banned in the city squares.

The only place masculinity thrives is on the Discovery Channel. I call it The Masculinity Channel. I can switch it on at any time of the night or day, and whatever the supposed subject of the documentaries is, I know that the real theme will be the joys of lost maleness.

In fact they should just put that in the listings and be done with it:

9pm: The Joys of Lost Maleness: Two mountaineers conquer the world's most forbidding and dangerous peak with nothing but crampons, nylon rope and testosterone. No homosexuality or femininity here.

10pm: The Joys of Lost Maleness: Several teams of hard-living, swearing, farting Alaskan fishermen confront dramatic danger prow-first in their quest for crabs and an entirely female-free world. Warning: Heavy male bonding in some scenes, but not of a homosexual nature.

11pm: The Joys of Lost Maleness: Helicopters, Nazis, Alsatian dogs, stunt bicycles, in fact anything at all which we can use as a backdrop for our real theme: raw untrammeled masculinity like they don't make any more in this modern world where men wear frocks, eat chocolate, and work in open-plan offices tapping at computer keyboards like pathetic eunuchs.

12 midnight: The Joys of Lost Maleness: Surprise! A show featuring muscular women with rippling biceps, doing something very very active, mud-spattered and athletic and not passive or girly at all! But it's still about the joys of lost maleness, because we make it very clear by implication that women are just loser versions of men, and only these penis-envy-fueled velcro-wenches (who don't resemble any actual women you've ever met in your life, unless you live on an oil rig crewed exclusively by bull dykes named Iron Jean) are admirable in any way.
