I can say that this pilot, especially the first episode more than resembles Voyage – Seaview/seaQuest, Stark’s name comes from a Voyage episode and the failsafe she was trying to deploy against orders comes from Voyage as well. Shelley Hack, one fifth of Charlie’s Angels plays the duplicitous Captain Stark (whether intentional or not, the first of many Voyage to the Bottom Of The Sea references) who is relieved of command by the straight arrow Commander Jonathan Ford, played by the wonderful Don Franklin. The music by John Debney is wonderful, too. Roy Scheider as Nathan Bridger adds class right away to the show with a wonderful backstory – I didn’t realise at the time that there is a whole alternate history for this future world. This episode moves fast and the flow is natural as we meet the whole ensemble of the talented, likeable cast. Meanwhile, seaQuest’s systems start to malfunction and fail while a renegade submarine lurks in the ocean depths with a familiar face in command… Luring back the retired Captain turned scientist proves harder than imagined, but Noyce persists and lures him aboard and soon Bridger finds himself among a crew of soldiers and scientists at each other’s throats.
