There's a few important scenes missing, notably when Bridger arrives at the seaQuest and meets the crew the first time. It almost felt like a few pages were missing, but that's just the way it was written. A bit disappointing for that, but otherwise it was pretty faithful. Good book, good TV show. ( ) One of the great cultural touchstones of my childhood that hasn't been mined to death by the nostalgia circuit, seaQuest was the coolest show on television: enough drama to seem grown-up, and enough cool special effects and adventure to keep me keyed in. That said, there was quite a bit I'd forgotten about the show, the huge cast-shifts every season for one, and the whole point of the seaQuest's mission: to keep the peace between rival ocean floor colonies and facilities. Also, submarine pirates. This novel, despite the best efforts of respectable genre authors Diane Duane and Peter Morwood, is a dry read, with the story never rising above it's "television event of the year" tie-in status. Because of the large amount of tweaking in the story right up to air-time, the novel has a few inconsistencies and is missing a couple characters present in the pilot and first-season of the show, and presents a few character's back-stories as completely different than how they turned out. Anyway, this was fun to read, and though I know that the show itself hasn't aged well, especially the special effects and the cute talking dolphin bit, I've got a strong urge to watch these episodes again, make an event of it even. This is a pretty good novelization of a so-so TV episode. The authors do a good job of capturing the characters and events of the episode while taking the time to flesh out the characters thoughts and motivations. I feel that if you enjoyed the series then you will very likely enjoy this book. If you didn't like the series then I doubt this novel will change your mind. The year is 2018 (which, in 1993, seemed so far off) and we have begun to colonize the ocean floor. This has brought about a world of new territorial disputes and other problems, and thence comes the UEO, the United Earth/Oceans Organization, and its flagship - both militarily and scientifically - the seaQuest. I remember the tv show with a sort of amused fondness, which pretty well describes my feelings about this. The writing is pretty good, which is not surprising given the authors, but they were constrained by the tv show's story and it shows. Original tie-in novels are better than novelizations of existing episodes; the book was not bad, but I'd recommend spending an hour watching the actual episode rather than several hours reading this. There was one line that made me laugh, that may or may not have been in the original script: Bridger is searching seaQuest for something small (and hidden) and thinks to himself "I think I need a smaller boat..." aucune critique | ajouter une critique
