Prop, J. Grayson Velcro Name Patch

Hello all and a quick one today on the seaQuest MPS Blog.  This is another Velcro name patch from seaQuest's first season, but this time of a background character.

J. Grayson name patch.

A character called Grayson was in The Regulator, but you do not see the patch on screen.  Grayson is in the scene where Crocker is reassigning crew quarters, he is one of the two people that have to bunk with O'Neill.

Next time on the seaQuest MPS Blog: a merchandise seaQuest patch.

Prop, K. Westphalen Velcro Name Patch

Today on the seaQuest MPS Blog, an ultimately unused Velcro name patch from the first season.  seaQuest had numerous scripting, casting, and producering (if that is a word) changes during its three season run.  There were also frequent costuming changes, and not just the switch from the black to the blue uniforms from season one to season two.  Something seemingly as simple as name patches went through several iterations during the first season.  The first patches had the characters first initial and last name, as seen on the below K. Westphalen patch.  While my patch does not appear to have made it to screen, several of these first style patches did.  The next iteration for Westphalen, that did make it to screen as seen in To Be or Not To Be, replaced her first initial with an acknowledgement of her doctorate, hence Dr. Westphalen.  Later on in the season, as seen in The Good Death, costuming added another line to the patch to indicate that Westphalen was part of the MED-TEAM.

For Your Consideration Video/VHS, Knight of Shadows (108)

Another awards season VHS today on the seaQuest MPS Blog.  This video is of the first season episode Knight of Shadows.  As with the Splashdown video I posted earlier, the seaQuest producers wanted this episode nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing.  Searching online, I do not see any evidence that this episode won any awards.  Unlike Splashdown, however, this is a good episode; it is one of my favorites.  It is a ghost love story featuring a sunken liner, and it was first shown on Halloween night, 1993.

For some reason it was also the only time in the first season that the episode's title was shown on screen.  Perhaps they were happy with their pun?  You see it is a Halloween episode so it is dark and stormy night, and features a good man or a knight, yeah not really that clever.
