Hell yeah, brother.

Except for that comic. Hell no, brother to that part.

In high school one of my classmates was soooooo obsessed with SeaQuest and it was all she talked about. It irritated some of her classmates so much that one of them drew a 12-pane comic (4 rows, 3 columns) that ended with Darwin getting blown up and his remains be eaten by the crew.

Weird times.

Alone is kind of Scanners already. Kind of? It's about as close as Dream Weaver is to being Alien.

Wow, SEAQUEST DSV, you’re really ripping off every single science fiction movie this season.

I can’t wait for them to start ripping off SCANNERS in season 3!

New episode and new SEASON! It's been ten years since seaQuest disappeared to fight the space war, and the oceans have changed. It's a new tone, a new style, and a new situation for those who return; all delivered by the gravel voice of the legendary Michael Ironside. rss.com/podcasts/wsk...

Haven’t found a source to be sure, but just looking at planetariums near the studio the closest match is the Orlando Science Center’s

Screen capture of the seaQuest DSV season 2 episode Dream Weaver. Tobias LeConte (Mark Hamill) stands among the stadium seating and domed ceiling of his planetarium-turned-lecture hall.

Photograph of the planetarium at the Orlando Science Center with seats at roughly the same rate of incline, and exterior walls at roughly the same height before meeting the domed ceiling at the seaQuest filming location.

This role is over 20 years later. Makeup is magic sometimes.

Two talking dolphins in one birthday. That's the life.

Tomorrow we leap ahead to 2032. Seems like a perfect day for one last look at New Cape Quest, the setting for almost as much of season 2 as the ship that docked there, as modeled by a fan: youtu.be/Qo8YqqHHNwA

Magic Rocks? They finally got Kreiglite into stores!?

So going through the past #SeaQuestDSV merchandise and I do not recall seeing the Craft House Magic Rocks. I would have loved to have the ships of SeaQuest DSV and the Pirate submarine.

It's interesting that this starts with "For beneath the surface...", a line that hadn't been in the show for over a year at that point. Twisting it to show what's new and exciting, but keeping it to maintain continuity (not in the plot sense) with the show's beginning.

Not like there's a big cliffhanger or anything. Or not even a cliffhanger, but an ending that makes you wonder what a third season could even be about, with 70% of the ensemble dead and the others stranded without hope. Easy to wait another week.
