Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's about time! seaQuest fans have been anxiously awaiting this release for over TWO YEARS! Why Universal took so long to get this season out is a mystery to me. I've been ready to buy it since before season 1 came out.
As you may recall, the first season of seaQuest ended with the destruction of the supersubmarine, to save the world from what can arguably be called catastrophic global warming. As the season begins, Captain Bridger is taking command of the new seaQuest. The bridge has been redesigned, as have several other parts of the boat, but the biggest difference in season 2 is the new crewmembers. Sadly, we lose the comical Krieg, the uptight Hitchcock, the country boy Crocker, and the cerebral but attractive Dr. Westphalen. However, their loss is not so badly felt with the arrival of new crewmen - Lt. Brody, combat veteran. Dagwood, a failed prototype for a naturally camouflaged supersoldier. Henderson the attractive and young new techie with no experience. Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepathic (this was hinted at in season 1's "Treasure of the Mind") medical doctor and scientist (though not quite in Westphalen's league). And rounding out the Rogue's Gallery is Tony Piccolo, a wise-cracking ex-con on work-release aboard seaQuest, with the gills of a fish in his torso ("I'm a surfer. I thought they might come in handy.").
The second season has a somewhat different feel to it than the first, which was fairly science-only. This season, the show takes on a bit more of a sci-fi feel to it, but this is not a bad thing.
After the 2-hour season premiere of the Dagger (others like Dagwood) Revolt, the aliens seen in season 1's "Such Great Patience" arrive to a mixed reception. Later episodes in the season depict the possible discovery of the location of long-lost Atlantis, a renegade robot submarine programmed with Capt. Bridger's personality, and Star Wars fans are treated to two guest appearances by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill! Kent McCord also returns 3 times this season, reprising his role as Space Commander Scott Keller.
The ending of this season, I don't want to give away in case newer fans haven't seen it, but I will say that Universal BETTER release season 3!
seaQuest was a great sci-fi series, far ahead of its time in the early 1990's. I have no doubt that these days, it would be going popular. I plan to spend many hours enjoying this season! :)
