WSKRS: We Share Knowledge Regarding seaQuest

Season 1, episode 19:The Last Lap at Luxury Written by Zora Quayton Directed by Bryan Spicer Late in its first season, seaQuest DSV takes time to establish some important facts we learned a long time ago. Lucas steps up, Bridger takes action, and the ship's tools save the day; which all would be more impressive if it aired a few months earlier.

Season 1, episode 18: Hide and Seek Written by Robert Engels Directed by Lindsley Parsons III It's Shatner week on WSKRS in a bizarre, floating episode about a mystic sense of connection, and the inexplicable bonds that can either hold us back, or hold us together. It's also about ethnic cleansing and some really outdated perspectives on autism. It's a lot. In the Movie Star Minute: Blue Thunder

Season 1, episode 17: The Stinger Teleplay by : John J. Sakmar and David J. Burke & Patrick Hasburgh; Story by : John J. Sakmar & Kerry Lenhart Directed by Jonathan Sanger It's a big week for Lucas as his latest attempt at independence comes with a hot rod. His closest friends help him whip it into shape, while the competition is embroiled in action espionage. Let's play Zork part 1: https...

Season 1, episode 16: Whale Song Written by Patrick Hasburgh Directed by Bryan Spicer First-time viewers see seaQuest DSV playing some of the hits, with a great central guest performance. Returning viewers have to ask if season 3 started here. Everyone gets to enjoy the hottest arcade fighter of 2018.

Season 1, episode 15: Greed for a Pirate's Dream Written by David J. Burke & Robert Engels Directed by James A. Contner Ford, again, takes charge as seaQuest is caught between UEO regulations and saving four stubborn lives. seaQuest DSV was into Stede Bonnet before he was cool, or at least before he was Rhys Darby. Let's Play Zork - Episode 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whA7v24DUg4

Season 1, episode 14: Nothing but the Truth Written by David Kemper Directed by Les Sheldon Environmental extremists bloodlessly seize the seaQuest to non-violently force polluters to shut down their facilities using a system they agreed to by international treaty. Truly evil fiends. But the important thing is it's Die Hard on a submarine, and it's Ford's time to shine.

Season 1, episode 13: Better Than Martians Written by David Kemper & Dan Brecher Directed by John T. Kretchmer Space, 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: 201...

Season 1, episode 12: Photon Bullet Written by Michael Cassutt Directed by Steve Dubin Lucas 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: SeaWest Written by John J. Sakmar & Kerry Lenhart Directed by Gabrielle Beaumont After 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...

Season 1, episode 10: The Regulator Written by David J Burke Directed by Les Sheldon Two 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 Water Written by David Kemper Directed by Bryan Spicer So 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 Shadows Written by Melinda M Snodgrass Directed by Helaine Head Spooky 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 Liberté Written by John J. Sakmar & Kerry Lenhart Directed by Bill L. Norton This 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 Sisters Written by Art Monterastelli Directed by Bill L. Norton The 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 Trench Written by Kerry Lenhart and John J. Sakmar Directed by Les Sheldon It'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: Games Written by David Venable Directed by Joe Napolitano This 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 Mind Written by David Kemper Directed by Bryan Spicer The 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 Tobeason Directed by Les Landau The 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...

Season 1, episode 1: "To Be or Not to Be"/"The Nathan Bridger Incident" Written by Rockne S. O'Bannon & Tommy Thompson Directed by Irvin Kershner Welcome to WSKRS: We Share Knowledge Regarding seaQuest! We, like the television program we're here to talk about, are starting with a double-length premiere. This week we meet the ship, her captain, her crew, her dolphin, and the far-off world of 20...

Welcome to WSKRS: We Share Knowledge Regarding seaQuest! We launch next week, September 12th, the anniversary of seaQuest DSV's broadcast premiere. But first, here's a taste of what makes this show so interesting to talk about.
