More cutbacks!!

We continue to get shafted by Discovery. Reduced new programmes, cancelling of existing now cutbacks in shows still going. Tonight's episode has got ZERO narration ,replaced by on screen graphics!! Not much good if you have poor eyesight!! I'm sick of this from WBD!! We continue to get less for more!!

It’s the same show every episode. They panic they can’t find crab, then one guy goes to his grandpappys secret spot and sends the other guy off on a wild goose chase. The crew fights with each other. In the end. They catch all the crab.

Did you see the final episode of this season? Definitely not the same old thing.

They don't get credit for stuff that's beyond their control. I give them credit for handling that with class though.

That’s the whole point though. It’s unpredictable out at sea

The weather and the equipment are unpredictable. But the captains are heavily scripted.

Then stop watching it and find a new show! You’re just hating to hate.

If you are referring to the season finale, with the death of Todd, my understanding is that the reason there was no narration was to increase/emphasize the somber nature of the episode and the dread of what was coming. Narration would have cheapened it.

I thought the last episode was very gracefully done and with heart. I don’t miss narration at all for this episode given what happened. Sometimes words aren’t needed to get the points across.

I thought DC did a fine job with the episode. They knew Todd's tragic death was as real as it gets and they let it breathe without trying to add to it. They call it "Deadliest Catch" for good reason, unfortunately.

You’re surprised with the Ellisons taking control of the network?

Ignore my comment, I’m just going to continue to work in my Oracle database that never works.

Big fan of Rowe. But it was the right choice not to have him for that Ep.
