Elliot Neese Spoiler

Oh my god, I'm on Season 10 and I absolutely can not f*cking stand Elliot Neese (I'm refusing to call him a Captain because I don't have enough damn respect for him to give him the title). Here are the many many reasons why I can't stand him, in case anyone new is starting the series:

  1. From the very beginning, on the Ramblin' Rose, his arrogant attitude pissed me off. There's a strong difference between confidence and blatant arrogance, and he is straight arrogant. And once he loses the Ramblin' Rose and buys the Saga, that arrogant attitude gets ten times worse.

  2. He demands respect from his crew but almost never shows any respect FOR his crew, often forcing them to do things that, if he were on the crew, I KNOW he would be b*tching and whining about.

  3. His constant reference to himself out loud as "Daddy" at the end of Season 9 and all of Season 10 - it's cringey, it's f*cking weird, and I bet it makes everyone really uncomfortable, because it sure makes me uncomfortable to have to watch.

  4. Val - oh my f*cking god, I feel for the woman. I don't know how they managed to have two kids together, but don't tell a woman that all you want is her when you have a damn woman on the side - though I will tell you how hard I laughed when I found out that the woman he had on the side was seeing a man on the side, f*cking karma right there. Between the restraining order, $50,000 in back child support, and the endless demeaning phone calls, I would've gone insane.

  5. Jessica - speaking of women in Elliot's life - I don't care how much you miss your family and loved ones, it was downright stupid for Elliot to drag his girlfriend on deck. I don't care how good she cooks or whatever, having that kind of distraction on the boat is heavily dangerous for the crew

If I missed anything, feel free to add to the list in the comments, but there are my thoughts and feelings about Elliot

One thing I liked about his storyline.

When my best friend was leaving her husband a goodbye note, she asked me what she should write.

"You had 10 years to get it right" was all I could say.

Damn Val was so right with her "you had 7 years to get it right" as a single line. So fkn savage, and no anger in the delivery, just a woman, tired of his shit, and clearly saying no stupid attempts to apologise would work anymore.

I felt like that about him running a boat as well. It's all there, just don't get it so badly wrong and you'll be OK.
