January 8, 2009: seaQuest revisited…

You may know this already: I have been rediscovered.

Some of the world’s united seaQuest fans contacted me in February of last year. Soon thereafter, an entry was made to the official Wikipedia seaQuest entry adding my original script to the log of actual episodes of the NBC/Universal television series which sadly ended its network primetime run in 1996. I did not work on the show as a writer, but I did serve the season three top brass, and took my shot with a spec script for season four. While it was very well received — seaQuest 2032 was not renewed. Which is probably a good thing, because my episode would have cost them a fortune to produce (grin)….

I didn’t make a penny on the effort, but I made myself proud. And years later, hearing from the fans has been a blast. In serial fashion, over a period of weeks, I gave them the script act by act, and eventually unraveled the entire episode.

The one and only television script I have ever written to this point in my life follows below in its entirety. Beware: It’s a little spooky.
