Deadliest Catch- The beginning of the end for Capt. Phil

Last nights episode sort of marks the beginning of the end. If you watched you saw that Captain Phil was having some visual disturbances. I think at this point most people know that he passed away last February, so I don't feel like I'm spoiling anything. But knowing whats ahead keeps me feeling somber while watching. I believe in the next episode we witness Phil have a stroke. Which means there's only an episode or very few left that he'll be in. My mom ordered me a Captain Phil T-shirt the other day from the Discovery store. I plan on wearing it when I see Captain Sig and the Hillstrand Brothers Live at the Schnitzer in July. Though the Northwestern is my favorite boat, and I dearly adore Edgar, this season is about Phil. It's going to be really tough to watch. And even more tough to watch may be seeing After the Catch, the show that comes on right after DC which is all the Captains and some deckhands discussing whats happened in that episode. Just last nights Johnathan got choked up and walked off the set after them rolling some clips of him and Phil riding motorcycles together. Once again, I'm boggled by the fact that a total strangers death can affect me so closely. Rest in peace Phil. And Long Live Deadliest Catch <3
