To Be or Not to Be

SeaQuest DSV first aired in September of 1993. With Roy Scheider as the leading roll (Captain Nathan Bridger), SeaQuest and it's cast offered true potential in its first Season. The first Season was composed of episodes which offered some scientific facts and were interesting to watch. It also offered some development of the current cast.

However, with that character development and the end of the first season, I expected much of the cast to return for the second season, which was not the case. Although the Second Season included most of the Main cast, a few were missing, such as: Dr. Kristin Westphalen, Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Hitchcock, Benjamin Krieg, Chief Manilow Crocker, Security Chief, etc.

Although the Second Season added new casts, I felt the story lines were getting more far fetched. With the introduction of "Daggers" and Aliens into the story, I felt the Season was straying away from exploration of the sea, maybe the writers ran out of ideas??? Anyway, the Second Season was again a development of the New characters. It did include some scientific facts in the storyline, but was drowned by more of the far-fetched stories which had nothing to do with the Submarine and Sea Exploration.

After the Second Season came to a close, I expected yet again a huge cast change for the third season, which did prove true. With a New Captain introduced, the third Season lost my interested. SeaQuest 2032 was all about military story lines and a more far-fetched storyline as ever. Also, I feel that when Roy Scheider left, the season completely sank. SeaQuest 2032 was pulled half way through the Season with only 13 Episodes completed.
