The title “Deadliest Catch” can be confusing. The catch in question isn’t great whites or stingrays or even that deadliest of prey, man; it’s the Alaska king crab, which can take off a finger if you’re not careful, and can get pretty messy in a restaurant, but is otherwise harmless. What’s deadly isn’t the catch, but the catching: the profession of venturing into the churning waters of the Bering Sea each fall on crabbing boats. And that deadliness is relentlessly driven home. Before tonight’s opening episode of the show’s third season on the Discovery Channel is five minutes old, we’ve been told that the Bering Sea has claimed 41 lives in the last 10 years, and that “this year will be just as deadly”; that “this year is going to be exceptionally rough, that we do know” (though we’re not told why); and that “this year at least one fisherman will not return alive.” To make sure we don’t miss the point, the opening-credits montage ends with a shot of a seaside cemetery.
