An Ocean Trench that SeaQuest DSV Would Visit

This concept art by Koshime, who also created the robo-bear with a giant canon (camera), reminds me of what I miss most about the show SeaQuest DSV. That show, with its super-excellent mega-sub captained by Roy Scheider (and science-geeked by a scrumptious Ted Raimi), captured the alienness of the deep ocean, a place as inhospitable to human life as outer space vacuum. In these strange arches and chambers, Koshime offers a glimpse of an alien undersea world, perhaps natural or perhaps created by intelligent life of the deep sea. [Gorilla Art Fare]

I really miss SeaQuest. Sad that half of the original cast has passed on. :(

Is that the one with the talking dolphin? That alone was enough for me to avoid it at all costs.

Used to love that show. Is it still on anywhere?

It talked through a machine though! That makes it so much more believable...

And the second SeaQuest had a key, which was soo cool. I mean, just picture getting ready to go out on a mission, and realizing you left the ignition key in your cabin, and have to go back for it. Cool.

@B: And they had a talking DeLuise.

I'd love to see what the minds behind the new BSG could do to SeaQuest.

@Klappstuhl: Absolutely! I think I just got a little bit turned on. Anyone have Ron Moore's email address...?

@Annalee: y'know, I dig you in so very many ways, love your columns, and posts ... but TED RAIMI? SCRUMPTIOUS? :-) I hope you're kidding, LOL.

@velireon: Dude I was all about Ted Raimi in SeaQuest! He was seriously hot. Banish Joxer from your mind. He doesn't have to be that way!

@Annalee Newitz: I dunno if I'd go so far as scrumptious, but cute he was.

You can't come back from that "Joxer the Mighty" song, sorry. Even if he ... had all his hair, or any sort of social skills ...

Has anyone tried to re-watch it recently. I have to say it has not aged well. I loved that show when I was a kid, but trying to watch it again was just painful, sometimes funny because of how terrible it was, but ususally just plain terrible.
