Prop, Deon Hat, In the Company of Ice and Profit (302), Smoke on the Water (303)

It is that time again for the seaQuest MPS Blog, today with another hat for hat week.  This one was part of the costume for Deon's soldiers in several episodes in the third season.  It features in the background of both In the Company of Ice and Profit and Smoke on the Water.  In the Company of Ice and Profit was an okay episode, but took a while to get going.  I previously posted a Deon Menu from this episode here on the sQ MPS Blog.  Smoke on the Water is better, and has the seaQuest actually fight a couple of dynamic battles, with movement, lasers, torpedoes, sub-fighters, and the like.  This is unlike Daggers, where I previous complained that they simply intercept torpedoes until the other ship ran out.  As season three has yet to be released on DVD in the US, I am not able to get decent resolution photos of people wearing this hat in those episodes.  So be warned, the images from the episodes are blurry.

Deon hat.

You can just about see these Deon hats on the two soldiers in this image.  This is from In the Company of Ice and Profit, where Deon's soldiers help refuges escape from Macronesia.

Below the jump more images of the hat and of blurry people wearing blurry Deon hats.

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.
