Prop, Deon Menu, In the Company of Ice and Profit (302)

Up first on the seaQuest MPS blog is a great little prop from the third season episode In the Company of Ice and Profit.  The episode itself was not one of the strongest of the third season, but it does feature the return of Krieg who for some reason was still wearing his first season seaQuest uniform

As for the prop, it is a hot pink menu.  In this episode, O'Neill, Piccolo, and Lucas...I mean Ensign Wolenczak...eat at a Deon Industries restaurant.  On the menu were a variety of foods that were illegal in the future, including beef from gassy cows as we learned in season one's Whale Song.

Here is the menu in the episode.

And here is the prop itself.

I think it is cool that the writer of the episode and whoever made this prop recalled the rareness of beef in the seaQuest universe.  Whether you liked the third season or not, they made a clear effort to develop a consistent in-universe continuity with callbacks to the first season...even if it included Krieg wearing the same clothes for over a decade.

Below the jump are a couple of larger resolution photos of the menu.



Next time on the seaQuest MPS Blog, a "For Your Consideration" VHS of Splashdown.
