Over the past weekend, I became an addict. No, I won't be needing weekly meetings but it saddens me how weak my resolve becomes when options are few.

My new found addiction is Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. I caught most of the past three seasons which chronicles the adventures of a group of crabbing boats on the Bering Sea off the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

I first got sucked in last week while watching a behind the scenes feature on how the documentary-style filmmakers capture what is becoming increasingly stunning footage aboard up to six fishing boats.
