Prop, Omni-Pacific Ticket, Destination Terminal (304)

Greetings once again from the seaQuest MPS blog.  Today's entry is a prop Omni-Pacific ticket from the third season's Destination Terminal.  This was one of the weaker episodes of the third season, partly because it is a super train gone a muck story, but mainly because of Ford's dancing.

The Omni-Pacific was a train running between New San Francisco and Beijing.

Somehow Ford was able to get two tickets for the train's maiden voyage.  He decided to invite Henderson.  One of the clear improvements over the second season was how some of the character storylines actually played out over the third season.

Here is the front of one of these prop tickets.

Below the jump, just whose ticket was it?

Prop, Senior Chief Petty Officer Patch, Rank Patch

Hello again from the seaQuest MPS Blog as patch week wraps up.  seaQuest uniforms displayed the person's rank with these types of patches on the right shoulder.  A smaller version of this rank patch was also on the left and right side of the collar.  The number of bars and stars signifies to rank, and the color relates to the department.  This light blue one with four bar is for a Chief Petty Officer who was part of the deck crew.

Of course, Chief Crocker wore this type of rank patch.  This shot is taken from To Be or Not To Be, where it seems they had yet to add the collar patches to Crocker's uniform.

Prop, UEO Collar Patch

Greetings again from the seaQuest MPS Blog.  This week is patch week on the MPS blog.  I have a variety of uniform patches to share with you all.  Today, a UEO collar patch.  I have two of these, but I cannot find the second one right now; it will probably turn up as I dig deeper into my seaQuest boxes.

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.

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.

Prop, UEO Peacekeeper Blue Beret, Brave New World (301)

Hello again from the seaQuest MPS blog.  This week is hat week here on sQ MPS, including some merchandising ones and some prop ones used on the show.  First up is a UEO Peacekeeper Blue Beret as seen in Brave New World.  You can see several of these hats when the Nexus colony is liberated towards the end of that episode.  Right now I do not recall if the hat shows up in any other shows in the third season.

This prop is simply a blue beret with a badge sown on. 

The badge evokes the UEO logo, with the addition of a sword and dove.

Here is the beret as seen in the episode.

Below the Jump a few more shots of the beret.

Prop, Hudson Headset, Brave New World (301)

Today on the seaQuest MPS blog is another prop from the third season.  This is a non-electronic, that is no lights, headset used by a couple of characters in the season premiere Brave New World.  Brave New World was something of a third pilot for seaQuest DSV, or the first for seaQuest 2032.  The episode sets up the world ten years after the last episode ended with seaQuest seemingly destroyed.  It introduced Captain Hudson, who started off as an ass, but settled into a more thoughtful character within a couple of shows into the season.  Although the first few episodes of the season were a little rough, the show's third season had a consistency in scripting and characterization that easily beat the second season and perhaps is more even than the first season.

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.
