Deadliest Catch/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • At the end of the fourth episode of season 2 the Aleutian Ballad takes a sixty foot rogue wave in the middle of the storm. It was a hard enough hit to knock the boat off its side. The camera captured it all when the wave hits it, knocking the camera loose, making interference. Then It Got Worse with the camera pausing, the power going out on the boat, while the camera lays there, the power flickers, and the viewer can hear numerous fisher calling to each other constantly saying 'hello!' and 'are you okay!?'...and all the while it's during the end credits. It was a lot like something out of The Blair Witch Project or REC. Scary stuff.
  • Even worse was the wave the Wizard took in Season 5, especially considering most of the crew was severely injured. Captain Keith is seriously lucky he did not lose any of his crew, especially his brother, who was hurt the worst.
  • Seeing Phil with a giant "divot" in his head where his skull was removed and his brains (or something) bulging out against the skin is squicky enough, and then you realize that despite the successful surgery and his chipper attitude it ultimately didn't save him...
