5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Episode, January 16, 2010

This review is from: Deadliest Catch Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
In this episode I was touched to see the Northwestern rally together as a family and support Jake. I really gained a new respect for Sig when I watched this. On the flip side, I saw The Time Bandit crew implode regarding the down sizing of their crew. Not as nice to watch but kind of interesting both were happening at the same time. The last 5 minutes of the episode by itself makes this work purchasing.
