Discovery’s done a great job (I think) on the promo video for Season Five. Very stylized, very polished, and it contains all the drama and excitement we’ve come to expect from Deadliest Catch. It’s good to see Phil again, I’m sure his health will continue to be a major storyline - but I’m curious, what other possible storylines can you glean from this video? And can anyone identify the guy in the black body/wetsuit who looks like he might have fallen overboard?

All in all, I can’t wait - it airs one day after my birthday… what a great gift, thanks Discovery channel!

From the official Deadliest Catch blog:

The new season is right around the corner!  That’s right, Season 5 officially kicks off Tuesday, April 14, at 9 p.m. E/P.  We know everyone has been waiting patiently and trust us — it’ll be worth every moment. The crews of the Northwestern, Cornelia Marie, Wizard and Time Bandit all return this year led by your favorite captains.  And joining them are newcomers to the series, the crews of the Lisa Marie and Trailblazer.

Season 5 is just three short weeks away! Is everyone as pumped as I am???
