Can't wait. For some reason even though they've been showing this for a few years now, I haven't gotten bored of it. Makes me amazed looking at some of the jumbo king crab.
On a separate note, I wish I could have some fresh king crab legs with garlic and butter on my plate but they're just so expensive. :(

Same here. I am looking forward to finding out what happened to the captain that was coughing up blood.

Great show. Hasn't gotten old yet, unlike the reality "Game Shows" that are out there.

I think that was Phil.
I hope the *ssholes that posted spoilers last year don't do it again.

a few years ago, i found this show pretty interesting. then, discovery proceeded to run it into the ground with countless marathons or 4 episodes per day. do we really need all-day marathons on easter and mother's day and [multiple random holidays]???

now, i don't watch it so much. i did catch the coughing up blood one the other day, though.

I think what makes the show good as an ongoing series is the fact that they didn't over dramatize everything like some other shows (*cough*lobstermen*cough*)

It turned out he had a blood clot. IIRC it actually broke loose and passed thru his heart and nearly killed him.

I will admit the show is not as exciting as when it was derby fishing.

I gave up on it at the start of the 3rd season. The first season was brilliant TV, interesting, informative. The 2nd became a soap opera among guys who became famous for no reason. The 3rd was more of the same and I bailed.

That guy bugs me.

*coughing up blood*
"Oh woe is me, wtf is happening to my body?"
*lights up cigarette #848293829*
*eats 3 hashbrowns*
*parks ass in captain's chair for 18 straight hours*
*docks boat so his crew can unload crab while he takes a 50-foot walk*

repeat

When I did a search to see if anyone had posted a thread about this season all I saw was that it "starts tomorrow on Discovery". I didn't notice the thread was a year old.
Still works, ok, though.

Chalk it up as a monster time warp.

I love the show. Be interesting to see what happened to Phil. So now I've got House/Scrubs on Monday (or is Scrubs Wednesday?), Deadliest Catch on Tuesday, and LOST on Wednesday!

1. Bring big ass boat to ocean.
2. Drop net into water
3. Catch a lot of crabs.
4. Profit.... ;)
