...IS A SHOW ABOUT FISHING. And you know, I'm ok with that. Because Deadliest Catch is awesome. You can befriend the actual boats and deckhands on myspace! You can go to one of the boat's online shops and buy a thong that says "shut up and fish" for some reason! You can watch any given episode and be assured that the stars will inevitably fish for crabs, find or not find crabs, smoke heavily, and get all soggy and then make witty comments! There's something comforting about knowing that the next episode will probably involve the drama related to something important and metal breaking in the middle of finding or not finding crabs, resulting in the cast of grizzled dudes (in varying states of grizzled-ness) swearing, chain-smoking, or doing whatever it is your brain tells you to do when you've been continuously manipulating extremely dangerous machinery on an ice-covered, perilously jostling boat for 40 straight hours. I'd like to one day befriend an Alaskan Crab fisherman, just to be like WHY? Because it's crazy that something as uneventful sounding as FISHING FOR CRAB is about as dangerous and hardcore as, you know, eating a bag of glass shards "just because." And for the record, I'm totally an Edgar girl, Phil's really growing on me this season, Blake still annoys me, Jake's still confusingly adorable, and I'm totally excited about next week's episode, where there will surely be more crabs and sweet orange jackets and swearing.

gail is awesome
i like reconstituted sea vegetables and free beer, but not together.
OH MY GOD! This show rules! Me and my man watch this religiously!!!! I don't like Blake. I'm still pissed at him for outing the super secret crab fishing hole that Phil told him about. I like Phil, but I'm a Sig girl!!! That's cool that you can "befriend" them. It's almost like "Adopt-A-Crabman" or something.
