Danny's Ending: Truly Bizarre. (Spoilers)
This penultimate episode (6/19) was just really bizarre. So they finally got rid of Danny via this made up phone issue. I guess Bryan was successful in pulling the wool over the captain's eyes. This whole issue with the phone was fabricated by Bryan to begin with and then perpetuated by Hannah and Bobby. I thought it was good how they would show Bobby or somebody complaining about Danny using the phone this episode and then cut to Bobby or someone else with theirs out using it.
The only person talking any sense this entire episode (also season) was Ben again. His talk with the other guys was correct. They are not there to "teach someone a lesson" in some twisted and misguided parenting attempt. They are there to do a job and get though six weeks. Who cares about most of this sh!t that they have been going on about with Danny. Get over it. It is all nothing in the grand scheme of the season. The scene with them tying up to the mooring buoy was ridiculous. They all keep saying Danny sucks but then keep sending him out to do the work while they just sit there and bitch at then how he does the work. I have tied boats off on mooring buoys before and docked bigger ships than this one on the show. Sometimes it is chaotic and lines are getting thrown around. You just need to get it done. Bryan then nitpicking afterward and even during is uncalled for. I loved how both Bobby and Bryan were yelling contradictory orders to Danny while trying to tie the boat up to the mooring buoy. Ridiculous.
I also lost a lot of respect for this captain. Not only did he have the wool pulled over his eyes but he has completely misjudged Bryan. Making him the First Officer is a HUGE mistake. What a lie he told the captain when he said he tried different methods with Danny. Really? What different methods? Bryan only knows two methods, one, confront, provoke, and attack your employees in front of the entire crew. The other method is similar but do it while completely drunk. I want Bryan on my management team.
After Danny left it has become clear who the real problems are, Bryan and Bobby. Jen flat out states this. And then we see it at the end of the episode and in the preview for next week. It looks like every crewmember has a serious problem with Bryan. I did not get where the captain got this idea from that the whole crew had a problem with Danny. I have watched every minute of this season and the only people to have a problem with Danny were Bryan, Bobby, and Hannah. So it is kind of funny that the captain says this about Danny when it is really true of his "trusted" first officer.
I also could not believe that the captain said nothing and was totally fine with Bobby's behavior. Can you say "roid rage?" So they fire a guy over some made up phone issue but they keep a guy who completely overreacts and flies off the handle, gets violent, tries to beat up other crewmembers, throws stuff out into a hallway at four in the morning, keeps the crew up, and then later gets drunk and threatens the entire crew. Ya, let's keep that guy! Bobby is a danger to the crew and himself NOT Danny.
What classy people too when they celebrated someone getting fired. Ya, lets celebrate maybe someone's worst day of their life. What horrible people. And that was a bully move by Bryan at the end lying again to Danny and telling him he has to take the donkey up the hill. A bully until the very end. He just couldn't help himself.
Danny is better off without that crew. They however are NOT better off without him because they are the problems. I will bet you anything that Bryan, Bobby, and Hannah have problems with other people wherever they work or go in life.
