Season 3 is good! I understand fans being turned of by a new show wearing their old show's clothes, but on its own merits it is good. And it's like jumping 15 years ahead in television trends in structure and theme overnight.
@wskrs.bsky.social Finally caught up and wow I forgot just how many great episodes there are in season 3. Like I don't quite like the darker tone but I like that they finally have a bad guy that isn't gone by the end of the episode, I like the serialisation.

Oh, the seaQuest timeline is abso-fucking-lutely a better timeline than *gestures broadly*

I do think they do a good job with the fractures in our Big Happy Bridge Crew family--they are both realistic in light of having an entirely new captain, and also good consequences of story decisions that are less well done:
This week is all about relationships aboard the seaQuest. The new direction has shaken up how our cast sees each other, new positions lead to flexing privilege, and the crew and Hudson have no idea how to work with each other. Fertile ground for drama: rss.com/podcasts/wsk...

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...

Am up to "Dream Weaver" in my trying-to-catch-up-with-the-podcast #seaQuest rewatch, and I was today years old when I realised that the "lecture hall" in this ep is a planetarium*! I wonder if @wskrs.bsky.social has any insight into the filming location for these interiors?

When you say the strongest blade in the world will shatter if not for the delicate touch of a lesbian, can you include me in that as well? The lesbians and Marco Ortiz if it's not too much trouble thanks guys

Grant liking Henderson in this one reminded me that we called her "Ho of the High Seas" back in the day, which was...not kind. But the writers couldn't seem to do much with her beyond having nearly every male crew member either date or crush on her. 😖

Honestly, this just reminds me how BADLY I want to dive in the updated Alvin ... and how unlikely I am to get that opportunity. Still very blessed to have gotten to dive the one time.

Fast-forward 4 years and a ton of research later, and my initial estimate remains the same--we've seen ~0.001% of the deep seafloor, an area approx the same as the size of Rhode Island.
