It's an Explosive Finale as Northwestern Gets Her Revenge on 'Deadliest Catch' (VIDEO)

by Jason Hughes, posted Jul 27th 2011 3:46AM
'Deadliest Catch' season finaleAfter a successful season on 'Deadliest Catch' (Tue., 9PM ET on Discovery), there was only one order of business left for Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern. He remembers the Chinese lanterns that freaked him out earlier at the hands of the Time Bandit's crew.

So he lures them closer by telling Time Bandit Captain Andy Hillstrand, "We got a little shake in the back there. I don't know what it is."

When the Time Bandit swings around to take a look, Captain Sig and his crew launch a barrage of fireworks at them. The Time Bandit fires back, and the two wind up putting on one of the more impressive fireworks displays we've seen on television. Many cities' July 4th celebrations would be put to shame by the firepower on display.

It was a fitting end to a bittersweet season of 'Deadliest Catch.' We get a final tribute to Captain Phil, everybody comes home safe and we all get to rest easy knowing that Season 8 is already a done deal.

BUMMER...i'm soooooo sad I misssed that!!!! Those guys play as hard (actually even harder) than any of the cops & firemen I work with!

God Bless them all for all the risks they take and the jobs they do to bring us our crab! I never complain about prices anymore..even though only 6 legs of Colossal King crab cost me close to $250.00 for a special dinner for friends visiting form England who had never had crab like that before, it was worth it! I hope they have a wonderful Off-season and get all the rest and fun they so deserve!

capt keith is a douchbag and a bully, holding these guys jobs over thier head to do so. we all saw what happened last year when capt john flattened that fat POS. he took it like a good lil girl while his eyes teared up. then ran his mouth early this season when capt john wasnt around, but quickly took everything he said back during "after the catch". wouldve loved to see the camera man whip his ass the second the stepped on the dock. even his own brother said the camera man was an ok guy.

Why the camerman didn't punch out Captian Keith, is odd. I would have!

I worked in Alaska for many years. I met many people like most on this show. We call them "end of the roaders" because they are unable to secure employment in the lower 48, or anywhere else. While not all of them were useless, the majority were unable to work without constant supervision. At least they do work, even if it is unskilled labor. If these fisherman make so much money, then how come they are always broke? I do watch this show on occasion and I find it humorous. As a bush pilot in Alaska, I knew more pilots that died every year than fisherman that have died in the last 7 years of this show. While aviation itself is not inherently dangerous, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect. Simply meaning that if you let your attention wander for just a second (such as lighting a cigarette) you may not survive.

Can`t believe people take these so called reality shows seriously.They are scripted just like all the other shows.

Like I eat crab , say maybe once a yea,r so whether the "Deadliest Catch" returns is no consequence to me. Another reality show gone bad.

So true - Keith is totally wrong and needs anger management big time. Josh is stepping up so much - i really want to see him run the Cornelia Marie - Jake is just not right for that and I believe he needs more rehab. I think the prank on the Time Bandit was awesome. Loved the tribute to Capt. Phil... Love that they still show him for a brief second in the opening. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW and always will be. AND especially love the AFTER THE CATCH show.
Can't wait for NEXT SEASON...........................

Keeping keith on the show allows people to see the dark side of what would otherwise be a very light hearted show. We need keith on that fence!!!! If we dont have him there we lose what we have come to love to hate about the show.

Hi Catmom!

If it wasn't for this show, we would have never known these brave guys that fish the Barring Sea. We only see a small portion of their struggles. I know I could never do what they do year after year. I always say a prayer for them to come home safely.

Brave guys????? This show is scripted and edited. Nobody is ever in danger unless a crab grabs somebody by his johnson.
