Quote:
By the mid-21st Century, humankind has colonized the oceans and formed the UEO--the United Earth Oceans--as a military organization to police it. Formerly a high-ranking member of the UEO, Nathan Bridger retired after the death of his wife, and retreated to an isolated island to study dolphins. An attempt is made to hijack the Seaquest DSV, the UEO's most powerful undersea vessel, and Nathan--its original designer--is convinced to return to active service, to assume command of it. His second in command is Cmdr. Jonathan Ford. In second season, the DSV added Dagwood, a prototype GELF (Genetically Engineered Life Form), Tony Piccolo, a man with surgically implanted gills, and Dr. Wendy Smith, a telepath/empath, to its crew of specialists. The series has New Age leanings, often presenting stories that deal with environmental issues or mix myth and mysticism--from ghosts to "gods"--into its science fiction.

SeaQuest DSV was one of those, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" type sci-fi series........the first season was good, but seasons 2 and 3 went downhill in a hurry....

For the most part SeaQuest suffered from the same problem that the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation did... that the 'boy genius' can solve anything! That younger fans will will tune in! That each episode has to deal with an actual problem from our society! That there has to be a gimmick (android vs. talking dolphin)!

TNG was able to get better with age but SeaQuest just stayed in the same mode of story telling until the very end.

I watched the first season but lost intrest in the second, didn't even know there was a 3rd till recently. I'll probably stream it to see if I missed anything.

I don't think you missed much. If you're already seen the episodes where the "Dagwood" character was added, it only goes downhill from there.
