It's the deadliest time of year
YESSSSSSS!!!!! "Deadliest Catch" season 4 premieres on April 15th on the Discovery Channel! Looks like KatieScarlett and I better reserve our usual barstools at the Times Square Red Lobster for our annual pre-funk. We usually go there to partake in some of the deadliest all-you-can-eat catch before returning to our respective apartments to get our minds blown and text message each other frantically about it.
"Deadliest Catch" is the greatest show about a job EVER. It has everything that could possibly make a show great: hypothermia, grisly injuries, hot fisherman, chain smoking, salty sailor talk, practical jokes, crab, rogue waves, danger, violent storms, Coast Guard helicopters, Scandinavians everywhere, and the finest fourth generation skipper ever to mine the vast and tempestuous Bering Sea for "red gold," Captain Sig Hansen of the mighty F/V Northwestern!
"Deadliest Catch" is so good that it has become a worldwide phenomenon. "Deadliest Catch" has a following in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, and Germany. In addition to live crucifixions and prison reenactments of the "Thriller" video, "Deadliest Catch" is a monster hit in the Philippines. It's also what the "terrorists" at Gitmo get rewarded with after an especially productive waterboarding session. Not even being detained indefinitely in violation of international law can keep an enemy combatant from succumbing to the awe of witnessing the gravitas and power of Captain Sig barking f-bomb-laden orders at his crew in forty-foot seas while pulling a hot string somewhere halfway to Siberia, or the touching family moments such as Captain Phil Harris of the F/V Cornelia Marie giving his sons Jake and Josh wheezy lessons in manliness during impromptu plier-based tooth extractions ("you're not makin' love to it...just give it a yank!").
God, I fucking love this show. Luckily, the lady who runs the website Deadliest Reports has posted a "sneak peek" of season 4, and I couldn't be more stoked. First, there's ample footage of Sig regulating with his crew and generally looking hot while perched in the wheelhouse of the Northwestern like a great king atop his throne. Second, it also appears there might be some explosions this season, and I'm a big fan of explosions. I mean, I hope nobody gets hurt, but explosions totally rule.
Sneak Peek 2 - S4
If you aren't counting down the days to April 15th, then I seriously question what's wrong with you. "Deadliest Catch" totally rules. I just hope that Sig Hansen isn't so famous now that he forgets that I'm not just any "hardcore Northwestern fan", but by his own declaration I'm his .1 fan!
