@Glorrion Ein paar davon waren in Auswahl, aber habens nicht unter die Top 11 geschafft - entweder weil kein Skipper auszumachen war oder weil ich schon ein anderes Schiff aus dem Franchise ausgewählt hatte. Andere kenne ich überhaupt nicht, oder nur vom Hörensagen, waren also gar keine Optionen für mich bzw. zu nischig. Über die Andromeda hüllen wir grade wegen ihres irren Kommandanten den Mantel ewigen Schweigens. Aber die #SeaQuestDSV (Cpt. Nathan Bridger) hätt' ich noch nehmen können. 🤔

Over on Bluesky, I answered this prompt:

What is your first childhood memory of doing something online?

With: I’m fairly certain Discovery Channel’s website was the first one I ever visited. I also spent a ton of time on The Sci-Fi Channel’s #seaQuestDSV site, which led me to webrings of fanfics and RPGs set in that universe. RIP seaFire, seaQuest 2047, and Atlantis DSV.

Wrapped up my unofficial-official #seaQuestDSV season 1 rewatch. Some thoughts:
-This season is still one of the best seasons of TV science fiction of all time. There are clunkers in there, but it’s an extremely strong season.
-The score is supremely underrated.
-Roy Scheider is magnetic as Captain Bridger, but the supporting cast is pitch perfect.
-The 1993 CGI holds up extremely well, given the show’s underwater setting.
-Even though we are now almost five years past its setting, the show still managed to predict elements of our current era, like election misinformation and deepfakes.

The entire series is available on Blu-ray, as well as on Peacock.

“Bad Water” might be the tightest script ever written for #seaQuestDSV. You’ve got:
-A ticking clock (a French tourist sub has gone missing)
-A missing shuttle (a seaLaunch in the show’s parlance)
-A crippled seaQuest trying to find both
-A hurricane complicating everything

It all gels so well, not a minute is wasted.

Currently rewatching #seaQuestDSV which shockingly is 30 years old. My main memories of the first season is that it was a bit dull and it would seem that my memory served me well. Feature length Pilot episode showed promise with Shelley Hack as an evil undersea bitch vowing to destroy the seaQuest, loads of opportunity for drama and adventure. Episode 2... erm, Darwin (the talking dolphin) catches an underwater cold...
