Hell yeah, brother

Legally-mandated notices of the prohibition of dumping harmful materials overboard under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Annex V of the Marpol Treaty. Don’t dump plastic or oil, please.

The systems and design language are of the past, very different from the speculative all-electric seaQuest, but I’m sure this notice of environmental regulation would be Bridger-approved.

Starboard engine of the Steamboat Natchez, with engraved plaques identifying it as previously of the Steamboat Clairton

Control boards and instruments in the engine room of the Steamboat Natchez, that look to be a patchwork of various eras of design history.

Rudder in the engine room of the Steamboat Natchez. Originally, crewmen would move the green boom arm along the yellow track to move the rudder. It is now controlled with a hydraulic unit.

The Steamboat Natchez’ engines are 101 years old, inherited from a previous boat, and open to guests during the length of the cruise. These pictures are from before we were underway but we went back later to see the pistons pumping and rudder turning.

This account might be slow this week on account of us being on vacation. We live on a lake, and talk about the ocean, so clearly we had to see what’s up with a river.

Hell yeah, brother

The Regulator if he hated lungs:

Twenty-four thousand common dolphins, and one exceptional dolphin.

"He's not a good guy, but he's *OUR* not-good guy. And he has his own personal virtues" is a fruitful character space to explore and interrogate. James Bond lives there, and they've been doing stuff with that guy forever.

It's good! The Brittany Murphy episode might be the single best seaQuest story. A new stable of writers came in with fresh ideas and a focus on character arcs. It's consistent for once. Ironside ably performs the compelling bad guy on the side of the angels, which is interrogated on the show.

Hudson always seems ready to drop the quote "Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried", and I don't think a good guy would take cues from a white supremacist who engineered a famine

In A Few Good Men, if Col Jessup never ordered the Code Red and was the man he believed himself to be, would that be a good person? Is that the sort of person you'd want ordering society, or even want to hang out with?

Maybe I'm responding to the Captain Hudson we've built for ourselves over our 2031 episodes, but is he a good guy? A hero, the protagonist, a man who inspires and returns loyalty; of course. But he's also a fanatic looking to enforce order on the world with torpedoes. His enemies happen to be worse.

You might also meet Brittany Murphy.

Seaquest exists in a reality where that lady jacking off a dolphin led to scientific breakthroughs

Coming Thursday on WSKRS, we read through the one and only issue of seaQuest DSV, the comic book

Was saving “No suit, skin. Skin! SKIN!” for later, but the textually accurate version works too

Is this site stable enough to plug post yet? Can it support a Hell Yeah, Brother?

Should have been in two. Hrmph.

Please enjoy this thread’s story about a series of reshoots to the seaQuest DSV premiere, and how they add up to the “Stark holds a goblet” scene we all cherish

New developments in the actual science behind that time the seaQuest found Darwin's mom when he got sick. Still waiting on the medicine kelp.

Well, going by the events of the film, I'm driving like a maniac and trying to raise a son in a difficult world. But mostly the maniac thing.

Well now we’re curious.

Big behind-the-scenes auction for charity coming soon, including this lot of seaQuest 2032 items. Other lots are pretty cool too, including some stuff from a show that might be the topic of our next podcast? Time will tell.

14 people have credits on both shows, but none worked on that particular episode, and the director, writers and producers in that 14 were only involved in season 1 of seaQuest.

Painting by James Lima titled Kim. The artist’s statement reads: This commanding portrait celebrates Kim Novak's ethereal beauty and star power as an American Actress. Lima's masterful use of color and light brings out the luminous quality that made Miss Novak a cinematic treasure during Hollywood's most glamorous era.

Painting by James Lima titled Apollo and Daphne. The artist’s statement reads: Lima’s dramatic interpretation captures the moment of eternal transformation—Apollo’s desperate reach frozen as Daphne becomes the laurel tree. This is desire meeting consequence, a classical myth rendered with 1950s sensuality and urgency. A meditation on love, rejection, and the terrible beauty of metamorphosis.

Painting by James Lima titled Jane. The artist’s statement reads: A striking portrait capturing the essence of Golden Age Hollywood glamour, this painting celebrates Jane Russell's iconic elegance and timeless beauty. Russell's commanding presence as an actress, model and signer comes through in Lima's bold acrylic work, rendered with warmth and vibrancy characteristic of 1950's Cuba.

James Lima designed the seaQuest and many of its craft and features. His current art is inspired by 1950s Cuba and the leading ladies of Hollywood.
