        Fun fact: the show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea had a season with three unrelated alien invasions all defeated by a single submarine.

      DSV is after the submarine went into space for some reason and came back? You wouldn’t think a show about a submarine would have a season ending like that

        Yeah, I prefer to pretend there are only 1.9 seasons, not even the last episode counts.

        Shit got weird.

        And that’s in a show with a talking dolphin, ghosts, smoke Hologram AI, and glowing poop.

            Well, if I listed off all the wacky shit they did, I’d end up just summarizing the entire show!

            I know what series I’m binging until I go back to work…

              I just remembered when they had that guy with a golden helmet (you wouldn’t think gold would not make a good armor) that had the secret location of Atlantis. Also he didn’t know until the last minute of the show so he was just done dude with a weird ass helmet claiming to be scion of the Atlantisns. Also he has some strange outfit on.

              I almost want a deep dive into that guy. Imagine since birth your dad was always showing you this weird helmet telling you that your life mission was to find your long lost homeland. Like you apply for food stamps and list “questing for homeland” as your profession. You go on a date and show up dressed as the supposed royality of the Atlantians.

              Her: So what do you do for work?

              Him: Quest for my underseas homeland.

              Her: Hobbies?

              Him: Stamp collecting but you know also knitting my outfits.

              What if one of the scions are gay or infertile or just doesn’t want kids? Does he stream every single ancient aliens episode just in hopes they mention Atlantis? Does he sovereign citizen stuff claiming to have diplomatic immunity and use his crudely made passport to get around?

              So so many questions.

            Was that the episode with the guy who claimed all the planets orbited in perfect circles and it was simply an error in measurement that made us think otherwise? He wanted Darwin because he wanted to know where the center of the universe was or something.

          Remember the time travel show where humanity was going to die out because people were playing 90s video games instead of fucking? And they couldn’t go home without fixing it because if humans don’t have a future they don’t have a past. The Wesley Crusher computer kid figured that out, I am so glad they teach temporal mechanics when you get a computer certificate.

          I also liked the episode when Wesley Crusher fixes the most complicated engineering project in history while mocking the head of project by suggesting that they just hit the computer screen.
