The SeaQuest models were all good, although they did not produce a SeaLaunch kit which was the SeaQuest's onboard shuttles. SeaQuest DSV/2032 1993-1996 series was basically Steven Spielberg's remake/reboot of Irwin Allen's Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea 1964-1968 series. The SeaLaunch was their version of the Flying Sub without the ability to fly or any of the design.

The more I watch of ST:TNG, the more I realize SeaQuest was more directly inspired by that.
ReplyDeleteThough, I'm definitely going to have to see 'Voyage' now.
Years later, I still don't understand why SQ didn't catch on. It's such a good show and I absolutely love the vehicle design.
