@finfan I'd half hoped this episode would be a decent one, based on the writers. I haven't checked every episode you've watched, but the guys who wrote this one co-wrote 2 others together, one you gave a 7 and the other.... 6 maybe but a good comment. These guys have some Diagnosis Murder and Monk episodes on their resumes, which is probably more impressive than 75% of any other writer on this show. Granted they have a writing staff, different directors etc, but I was curious to see if quality correlated based on credited episode writer. Doesn't look like it lol.
@noodlebrain In itself it's not awful but at the same time it doesn't do anything fresh. It's a sequel to a story that didn't need one. And why bring back Scully if he's doing the same thing. That's not developement. I'm also bored by how easy it is for bad guys to always get control over the boat if they want to. It still beats many of the season two episodes, though. But that isn't that hard to achieve.

This one I didn't like. It's the same story they have already done half a dozen times. Some lunatic who thinks he can play god and recreate the world takes control over Seaquest. Add the captains-ex coming back which, again, doesn't do much.
Cmdr. Ford should have blown up Seaquest. He refuses to do it by saying he can't risk the boat reaching critical mass. Instead he does nothing, thus asuring the site will blow. Yeah, that makes sense. And the hauler reached Seaquest pretty fast at the end.
The few positives are showing some of the impact from Brody's death and I think that Lucas is becoming more and more mature.
