I was kinda bored today, so I tried to figure out the UEO rank scheme. That's what I have so far: http://www.st-spike.de/pages/nontrek/ueo.htm
Does anyone remember what Admiral Noyce's rank patch looked like? IIRC it was yellow with a couple of stars and the UEO logo.
I've read that Piccolo was a warrant officer during the last season. Anyone remember his patch?
There seems to be some confusion about the NCO patch with four stripes. Now I'm pretty sure that both Crocker and Ortiz wore it, however most webpages refer to Crocker as MCPO and to Ortiz as SCPO. [ March 21, 2003, 11:09 AM: Message edited by: Spike ]

SeQuest: DSV or How many times can we retool a series.
Let's see.... I think I watched the first season of SeaQuest on and off... But i was watching the girls, not the rank insignia. I think I completely lost interest when they got sucked to another planet or something.

As season finales went, that was actually quite good. But then they ignored half the plot points needing to be resolved in their re-tooling of the show into seaQuest 2032.

Mad fool! The re-tooled season with Ironside had more babes.

The red head with those gorgeous blue eyes in the first season was ever so hot. Commander Hitchcock, I think.
But yes... I remember a coupla hotties coming on board when Ironsides took over...
So now what happened... they got taken to another planet... and that was the season finale... but then next season, suddenely it was different, right? That's when Ironsides took over, yes?

S1 chicks: Stacy Haiduk as LCDR Katie Hitchcock Stephanie Beacham as Dr. Kristin Westphalen
S2 chicks: Kathy Evison as LT Lonnie Henderson Rosalind Allen as Dr. Wendy Smith
S3 chick: Elise Neal as LT J.J. Fredericks. She died & was replaced in the last episode by a defector, Julia Nickson as LCDR Heiko Kimura. S3 also had Patricia Charbonneau as Hudson's ex-wife, Elaine Morse.

Very cool, Spike. Another excellent page on uniforms.
One comment that might improve your page. In true Naval paralance: Officers (including Warrant) hold ranks. Enlisted/Non-Coms hold rates, not ranks.

Basically, the Seaquest was apparently destoyed with all hands except for The Boy and The Talking Fish. They're left drift on this alien ocean. Next thing you know it's 10 years later on Earth and the crew start appearing all over Earth either not knowing how they go there (most of the crew) or nto telling (Bridger and The Boy). And the sub is sitting in a corn field. For some reason a now-obsolete submarine is seen as being the only hope for peace on 2030's Earth so they all get together again but under a new captain.

Ahhh... and let me guess... they dangle the idea that you'll eventually find out how they all got back to earth in front of your nose like a carrot until the show finally goes off the air without anyone ever really finding out?
At least the women were good looking.

Worse than that - the whole thing is never mentioned again after about the first 10 minutes (Commander whatsisface, Ford was it? Who ended up in 15 Minutes playing second fiddle to another white guy, he barely has time to register annoyance at being passed over for promotion).

Oh, yeah, forgot - there as an ep later in the season where they meet one of the original crew (a cast member dumped from the lineup, mysteriously returning for a guest slot) who'd been returned half-mad to a refugee community and had chosen to make a new life among them; he'd assumed that he was the only survivor; how he missed the news of a long-presumed-destroyed submarine appearing in a cornfield is beyond me.
It's amazing what you'll watch on the Sci-Fi channel when you're unemployed. 8)

That would be Krieg. I don't really remember the episode, but do remember finding it wierd that despite leaving the show after the first season, it was technically fourteen years later and he was still wearing the not-really-tattered remains of his S1 uniform. The UEO must build 'em to last...

Now that i think about this... I'm pretty sure this is why I stopped watching it. I know I saw the finale with them on another planet... but i think when i found out that it was changing so drastically next season, i figured it wasn't that good to begin with.
that just blows me away that they would leave so much of the plot just hanging without so much as a mention.

I see you've updated you're site, Spike... in the Non Trek section, you specifically credit me. But ehm.. what for? Not that I'm complaining of course, but I'm just curious

IIRC you made me aware of the B5 Security Manual.
