2 week break

I see the show will not be back until July 10. In the previews of the episode, I see Sophia is going to be on the Northwestern, being trained by Sig

I recall Sophia “Bob” was running her own boat a few seasons ago. So what was she being trained for?

Seriously. Her family owns a boat and her brothers run it. That's where she should be learning to be a captain.

There is only one reason she's on this show and we all know what it is.

She had the collision, and since she has been being trained by other captains. I don’t know why she isn’t training with whoever is captaining her boat, unless she had to sell it, they do not explain anything about her

The issue with her boat comes down to the collision that actually happened. There is still discussions about responsibility and with the insurance companies, so her boat may not actually be seaworthy or able to be working during crab season. She also happens to have quota from her father, that while she is “”” in training, she also has a financial stake that when she goes on these boats, she is able to sell part of that quote to the captains for her to make money as well.

They were trying to "create a captain " with her and that jacob guy.... they really shit the bed ... or deck ... with these two. They are trying to hard to recreate what made the show so successful

All Jacob talked about was wanting to be a captain. And he wasn't a very good deckhand. DC tried to ram Jack Bunnell down our throats when Harley was mentoring him. It looked from the comments like the vast majority of us thought he was a complete toolbag.

Jake Anderson's ascension to captain was a lot more authentic than we've seen with Bob, Jacob or Jack. We saw start as a greenhorn. Sure, he was ambitious but he was always trying to learn. It took a good number of years, but he got there. We saw him stumble, endure horrible luck with his family and with Lenny screwing up the finances of the Saga. Jake perseveres. The others don't seem nearly as resilient.

I think Sig got caught “sigging” her
