Kevin's Watch

just read this in the gradual interview

*think* (but I could be wrong) they were all one word titles. One definitely was "Sunbane." Another may have been "Seaquest." Other than that, I'm drawing a blank.

i think i prefer Seaquest to The One Tree even if it does sound a little more common fastany

i still like The Wounded Land over Sunbane

I think the titles as they are give a more serious tone to the book. It wouldn't seem to fir to call it Seaquest, it seems too Jovial for the series.

SRD also said that LFB was originally called "Lord Foul's Ritual" but Lester Del Rey changed the title to what we know and love. Personally, I prefer LFB.

TWL is better (IMHO) than "Sunbane"... and

"Formicating Puissant Argence" is better than "The One Tree"

How about, "The Whiney Chronicles of Thomas Covenants companion Linden Avery the Chosen"

How can anyone who lived through the horror that was Seaquest DSV even contemplate that? The careers of Roy Scheider and Stephanie Beacham must be turning in their graves.

Seaquest DSV

A bad TV show, imho.

SeaQuest DSV aka "SeaQuest DOA", and "Voyage to the bottom of the Ratings"

The exciting adventures of a group of scientists on a submarine, including a young genius and a "talking" dolphin.

Hmmm sounds good.

Actually, it wasn't that bad. I remember watching it on a number of occasions. Not particularly consistent, though, as I recall...

It was a bit cheesy, and it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, either.

isn't the kid from that Seaquest show dead? too tired to look it up right now.

Yeah, as soon as SRD mentioned "Seaquest" in the GI, that TV show popped into my head. In hindsight, it's a relief that SRD went with "The One Tree" instead. The last thing we and SRD need is to have the Chronicles be associated with a not-particularly-good sci-fi TV show. I admit I do like the fantastic-looking Seaquest itself, and its "bioskin" or whatever is a cool concept. Okay, I also thought Roy Scheider was good as Capt. Nathan Bridger. And, okay, the 2-part episode guest starring Luke Sky--er, Mark Hamill, gets some brownie points from me. But generally the show sabotaged itself with laughable and sometimes incomprehensible plots. It was too bad, because I was initially quite excited about the show. It squandered away its potential.

I'm getting hilarious visions of Covenant, Linden and company aboard the Seaquest as guests of Capt. Bridger. Together, they would have a neat adventure seeking out The One Tree while exploring the oceans of that world and fending off the Nicor. Darwin the Dolphin would, of course, have the opportunity to hang out for a bit with the Elohim and have telepathic chats with them. And the futuristic weaponry of the Seaquest would come in very handy in dealing with the hostile ships in Brathair Harbor. Also, with the Seaquest being an undersea vessel, it would completely bystep surface inconveniences like hurricanes and dead calm seas, for a relatively comfortable journey to the Isle of the One Tree. As for our friendly neighborhood Raver, well, maybe it could possess a giant squid or something and have it attack the Seaquest (uh, wait a sec, in one episode the ship did get attacked by genetically altered giant squid).

Hey, this could work! I should dedicate myself to re-writing all the Seaquest shows as Covenant stories--and get myself promptly sued by SRD's publishers...
