Editorial Reviews

In the year 2018, humans have exhausted all of Earth's land-based natural resources, forcing a move to start colonies underwater. With several nations pressed into close proximity, it's up to an international body called the United Earth Oceans Organization to keep the peace. The UEO contacts former military man Nathan Bridger (Roy Scheider) to command seaQuest DSV 4600, a "deep submergence vehicle" of his own design, in order to protect the crowded colonies and explore the ocean floor. Created by Rockne S. O'Bannon (who eventually went on to create the hit sci-fi series Farscape) and executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, seaQuest DSV aired on NBC starting in 1993, but it only lasted another season and a half. Disagreements between writers and producers led to several backstage shake-ups over the course of the series: characters came and went, writers were fired, and by Seasons 2 and 3 fans would barely recognize the show they had watched in the first season. Regardless, and despite the relatively silly concept of a talking dolphin named Darwin, there were notable episodes in Season 1, such as: "Treasure of the Mind," in which the seaQuest crew discovers the ancient library of Alexandria; "Nothing but the Truth," which finds the ship being boarded by a group of commandos; and "Hide and Seek," featuring William Shatner as a dictator who takes members of the crew hostage. seaQuest DSV also introduced young actor Jonathan Brandis -- who took his own life in November 2003 -- as teen computer whiz Lucas Wolenczak.
