10 Amazing Discoveries in seaQuest DSV

May 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

In the 90s television show seaQuest DSV, the titular submarine was tasked with protecting underwater colonies, assisting scientists, and exploring the ocean floor. In many episodes, the crew makes a monumental, game-changing discovery…but they shrug it off and nothing comes from it.

Here are the ten greatest discoveries made during the course of the show, ordered from least impressive to most.

1. The Meaning of Life

Also known as the center of the universe or spherical evolution. The Regulator is keen to extract this information known by seaQuest’s dolphin crewmember Darwin. To save you the trouble, the center of the universe is “inside you” …whatever that means.

2. The Great Library of Alexandria

To be exact, an annex.

3. Several Deep Sea Lifeforms

seaQuest plant monster

Manmade plant monsters

seaQuest bore worm

Underwater bore worms

seaQuest prehistoric crocodile

A giant prehistoric crocodile

4. Atlantis

Or proof that it existed, at least, from the discovery of an Atlantean mind-controlling helmet.

5. Chaos Cloud

According to Lucas, a chaos cloud is “a total reversal of all physical laws” – it was made out of people’s negativity or something.

6. Three Alien Species

Aliens that could communicate with dolphins

seaQuest alien species #2

Mark Hamill and his race of shapeshifters

seaQuest alien species #3

These guys who shared a planet with Mark Hamill’s people

7. Time Travel (Twice)

First to the 24th century due to some underwater anomaly

seaQuest time travel #2

Then to 1962 because of an engine imbalance

8. The Embodiment of Pure Evil

Found locked in a treasure chest at the very bottom with a “do not open” sign on it. Of course it was opened and the evil was released, but the seaQuest crew destroyed it.

9. Ghosts

seaQuest ghosts
When members of seaQuest board an old sunken ship that’s pretty much a stand-in for the Titanic, they come across ghosts of some of the passengers. Clear evidence that the afterlife exists. That is, assuming everything they experienced in this episode wasn’t a shared hallucination from nitrogen narcosis (it was left ambiguous).

10. Greek Gods

The seaQuest crew gets in a fight with Neptune over a popstar in one of the show’s more embarrassing episodes. Also, yes, his name should be Poseidon, but they called him Neptune in the episode.
