I hesistate to mention this show, for fear of incurring some horrid wrath from those who don't like it, but I have a query regarding SeaQuest DSV.

Now, while hardly premier league, the later eps of this show did entertain me briefly on weekend afternoons when ITV showed them. But the opener of season 3, "Brave New world", which saw the relaunch of the show as "SeaQuest 2032" managed to escape me on the only two occasions it was on. (The usual ITV tricks....)

Did anyone see this ep? If so, how did it resolve the Dallas-style finale of the previous season?
Did it resolve it?
And what was the gist of the new setting with Michael York etc.

This has bugged me for months.

You'll have to forgive me here, I have only seen it once, and can't remember names.

The kid escaped the Seaquest and contacted the aliens on that planet they were on. At the start of the next season everyone was back on Earth, it was ten years later. The crew minus the captain, had ended up together, and the Seaqueast was found in the middle of a corn field 1000 miles from the ocean. Choppers came in a took it to water, they got a new Captain, Roy Snyder showed up later in the episode, on an island that had been his home at some time or another. I don't know why they didn't die in the explotion the season before, and only saw about three more eps, then lost track of it.

You are right, Excalibur, that was what happened.

The fate of SeaQuest from there took a turn for the worse.

It was one of our family's favorite shows, until they decided to run it into the ground as they did for the rest of the season.

What do you do with a show you no longer wish to run? Make it so stupid no one will watch.

Seaquest is still shown on the Sci-Fi channel, BTW.

Does anyone know how they escaped then?
Or even if it was ever revealed?

Hey, Liam...guess who supposedly did Darwin's voice...hint, his initials are Frank Welker.

I don't know if this is true, though. But, then, he's been in everything else...

Frank Welker also did the voice of Uni the Unicorn in Dungeons and Dragons, so I think he'd already hit the low of his career.

*growls at lack of insight presented into the question at hand*

Additionally, I'm afraid noone is allowed to mention the Gobots without become eligable for immediate execution. It has aroused terrible TERRIBLE memories of a demented Timmy "Itsy, Bitsy, teeny, weeny" Mallet proclaiming in one of his more lucid moments "Gobots go Botty!" or was it "Potty"? I shall gain some comfort from instilling his hideous ghost in all of your brains. Now as for you punishments, form a line, and I'll warm up the leeches...

Hey, like him or not, Frank Welker is credited with about 200 projects, including an alien voice for "Star Trek: Voyager," 'Nothing Human.'

Frank Welker is everywhere!!

Beware, for next I shall unleash the demon that is Edd the Duck!

I refuse to believe anyone has devoted webspace to the Gobots. A compendium of the amusing shapes fluff can sometimes come in would be a fare more worthy scholarly endeavour.

They just plain ignored a lot of the cliffhanger, a shame since it had ended in such a brilliant way, with The Boy floating in a liferaft on an alien sea. . . the SeaQuest was dumped in a cornfield for no reason other than to look good, and the crew were returned (apart from a few they'd gotten rid of for the new series) to the place where they were happiest. For the Exec this was in a shower with his clothes on. Kinky. . . 8)

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Wasn't he in the shower with that one woman?

Not that I remember or anything.

*whispers*
You know, the one who always wore the military issue tank-top?

No, she was through in the hotel room's bed. . . fully (and drily) clothed, though boy did those sheets look rumpled!

Hmm. I think I like my memory of it better.
