WSKRS: We Share Knowledge Regarding seaQuest

Season 1, episode 13: Better Than MartiansWritten by David Kemper & Dan BrecherDirected by John T. KretchmerSpace, the other frontier. The life of Bridger's friend and rival is just out of reach. Selfish men stand in the way of success. The seaQuest's capabilities are stretched to their limit. And all for a snail. It's another Certified Kemper Banger.This week in the Movie Star Minute: 2010: The Year We Make Contact

Season 1, episode 12: Photon BulletWritten by Michael CassuttDirected by Steve DubinLucas doesn't fit in on seaQuest, so he jumps at the opportunity to be among people like him. Jumps so fast, it takes him a while to recognize where he's landed. But the most important thing is Wolfman and the Red Menace.

Season 1, episode 11: SeaWestWritten by John J. Sakmar & Kerry LenhartDirected by Gabrielle BeaumontAfter a few weeks of seaQuest showing how variable this vein of television can be, we land on the worst kind of episode for our purposes: the one that just falls flat. There's nothing egregiously wrong, just nothing terribly right either. A limp week. But we'll always have the hats.Grant on Extra Credit #203: https://thefmin.us/350000-in-penalties/

Season 1, episode 10: The RegulatorWritten by David J BurkeDirected by Les SheldonTwo plots mashed together, and even more tones, make The Regulator a real experience to watch. But it's carried by a committed performance. Yeah, let's say "committed".And in the Movie Star Minute: All That Jazz

Season 1, episode 9: Bad WaterWritten by David KemperDirected by Bryan SpicerSo far, we've spent the run of this podcast talking about the ways seaQuest DSV was almost great, sifting the things that resonate from the things that hold it back. This week we talk about an episode that shows what we've been on about this whole time. This week, it's just good. It's really, really good.

Season 1, episode 8: Knight of ShadowsWritten by Melinda M SnodgrassDirected by Helaine HeadSpooky greetings, ghouls and ghosts! The seaQuest has found a haunted ship for a Halloween episode. And her crew of scientists proves to be very open-minded about the whole thing.

Season 1, episode 7: Give Me LibertéWritten by John J. Sakmar & Kerry LenhartDirected by Bill L. NortonThis week's trench holds danger, mystery, and a moving guest performance. Even so, sometimes an episode has everything going for it, but it still can't pull away from mediocrity.

Season 1, episode 6: Brothers and SistersWritten by Art MonterastelliDirected by Bill L. NortonThe power and resources of the seaQuest meet a challenge they're wholly unsuited to: a stubborn and confused teenager. Meanwhile, Lucas learns he has no game but sometimes you don't need any.And in the Movie Star Minute: The French Connection

Season 1, episode 5: Treasures of the Tonga TrenchWritten by Kerry Lenhart and John J. SakmarDirected by Les SheldonIt's a low-stakes seaQuest adventure as the cast clown hatches a scheme. This moves everyone else to become temporary clowns, none moreso than special guest Yaphet Kotto and his talented cheeks.

Season 1, episode 4: GamesWritten by David Venable Directed by Joe NapolitanoThis week sees a big shift in focus and tone as the seaQuest is host to a serial killer on the prowl, and he brought all his favorite tropes. It's dumb fun, with a heaping helping of dumb.

Season 1, episode 3: Treasures of the MindWritten by David KemperDirected by Bryan SpicerThe seaQuest's support of an archaeological dig leads to a diplomatic nightmare. Psychics look for failures of military security and their own labor rights. Lucas has... yearnings. It's an episode that plays the card, the David Kemper way. Also we debut our Movie Star Minute segment with Jaws.

Season 1, episode 2 "The Devil's Window"Written by David J. Burke & Hans TobeasonDirected by Les LandauThe seaQuest under Bridger and the UEO undertakes her first proper mission, at least the first one put on air. What are the most important factors about episode order? If language is a barrier, can grief cross through it? How fussy can a science grandpa be? Featuring the breakout character of 2024: Baby Morpheus
