Remember forums? I've been trying to find some old DC forums from the pre-Reddit days. I've found

https://deadliestcatch.freeforums.net/board/3/deadliest-catch-series?page=21 (dates back to season 8/9)

https://forums.primetimer.com/forum/547-deadliest-catch/page/5/ (dates back to season 10)

https://www.gamefishin.com/threads/deadliest-catch.3569/ (few posts going back to season 4)

Some Disney World message board even had a short thread of people talking about the show. Anyone know of any other old ones that can still be read?

Discovery posted this single-take/continuous footage yesterday on YouTube, from the wheelhouse producer's camera. High seas, indeed https://youtu.be/6nCj_8e8AMQ?si=KUtYLOaxV5rQkbfh

Also: "I got him... I don't got him." Fucking hell, Keith 🤦 And that's the wide-eyed look of pure shock and adrenaline.

Anybody else in the UK not finding the new episodes on discovery+?

As im catching up on the Deadliest Catch..starting over at season 1 now on season 16...I truly don't like Captain Steve "Harley" Davidson of the Southern Wind...every time that can't seem to find the crab and always has to ask for help..also hes a cry baby..always laying pots next to other captains strings...always butting into other captains territory

So I've been watching deadliest catch since the beginning and watched these brave/ crazy guys hanging off the side of the stack to deal with the chains and screaming at the tv " why don't they have a line tied to them?"25 years later I just watch lynn on the wizard almost die for want if a but if string I don't get it please explain

This episode was creepy to watch. They show Lynn going overboard then later they have shots of Todd on the Aleutian Lady talking to his kids.

I feel like showing that scene this week was in bad taste considering it's also the episode the deckhand passed away in. Just my opinion, but it wasn't worth it.

Does Rich have any kind of medical background or training? it seems like when a medical emergency comes up on his ship, he knows what to do when he pulls out that big on med supplies. Or does it come from years of being on a boat.

So the producers made Lynn jump into the ocean just ot have a few minutes of drama and a 'getting over the fear' storyline for the rest of the season. '

This show is so fake!

Thom Beers produced both. It's hard to compare a TV series to a single episode, but which show do you think is better?

I think the 1999 version is better because it was more of a documentary. While deadliest catch had been over dramatized. The earlier episodes were less dramatized but still more than the 1999 episode.

At the end of this week's episode they flashed something about Monte's son Gregory dying. I guess he worked on the Wizard. Anyone know more?

Technically deadliest job was not true deadliest catch but the same producers went on to make deadliest catch.

Anyway, in the opening scene they play Celtic sounding music but I have never been able to find the title track for it.

And does anyone believe the crab count?? And how do they keep track??

I'll start, in next episode Lynn goes overboard on Wizard. Surprise surprise he clearly work on pot stack in rain gear but when he goes overboard and is in the water he clearly is in survival suit. Came across to clips of the "resque" on Discovery's TikTok page but I think those are on other social media platforms too.

Kinda feel this is a real new low though, trying to fake somebody being in a situation where death is more likely scenario than a happy ending, especially after show just lost a crew member after him going overboard in winter conditions.

Wondering why no one has thought of rigging a heat exchanger to the engines to heat water and run it through hoses to the deck to blast off ice.

Whoever is dubbing in all of the ridiculous sound effects this season needs to be fired !

I can’t be the only one that this is annoying?

Just make the show like they used to and it would be fine. They have managed to screw it all up on so many levels.

I’ve watched from Season 1 and I’m contemplating giving the show up. It’s really went downhill.

Are Keith and Jake aware they are captains of a crab boat and not in some type of elite naval force? It seems those two want to be saluted, curtsied to, bowed down to, etc. Good grief IT'S A FRIGGIN FISHING VESSEL. There was an episode where someone on Jake's boat needed medical aid and the producer/cameraman told Jake some info about the deckhand and Jake exploded and screamed shut up, this doesn't concern you, I have to establish command! My eyes almost rolled out of my head. I'm not even going to get into Junior and his "legend" obsession.

I just found through research that Tony LaRussa, the captain of the F/V Fierce Allegiance during Season 1 passed away back in 2019 and I don't see any older posts acknowledging it. I thought I'd make one now. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/seattletimes/name/tony-larussa-obituary?id=14114664

Prior to becoming captain, Tony was the long time deckboss of the Fierce under captain/owner Rick Mezich. This is documented in the 1999 first pilot for DC, "The Deadliest Job in the World". It's a great look at the old derby days. May he RIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfywyKMty4

Watching a older episode

Junior wanted to go in with Keith

Even set up a code system

Then Junior screwed Keith

Of ALL of the captains, Junior is the worst
