Season 2, episode 16: Watergate

Written by Patrick Hasburgh

Directed by Casey O. Rohrs

Welcome back, fish fans! The seaQuest is pursuing two missions on a remote island that turn out to be the same mission: resolving a love triangle between Greek gods. We're due an Ortiz week and this is what he's got.

In Syndication ends this week with something a little different, a dark fantasy audio drama commissioned by Ranged Touch. and Shelved by Genre. It's dense, it requires interpretation, and producing it was Grant's entire life for the summer of 2023. And now, the show notes exactly as they were back then:

In Syndication continues with an example of our first tv recap show: Sex Archie! We spent seven years discussing and analyzing Riverdale and all I learned is everyone else is wrong about it, fans and haters alike. But we put the show in its context, including looking at previous adaptations of the comics. That's where this episode comes in. Here's the original show notes from 2017:

Welcome to Sex Archie: The Riverdale Recap Podcast

This episode covers To Riverdale and Back Again/Return to Riverdale by Evan Katz; directed by Dick Lowry

Before the CW slathered us in saturated syrup, there was another live-action adaptation. This 1990 NBC Sunday Night Movie ages the crew up 15 years and then puts them right back in the same situations, to awkward and disappointing results. Did Veronica inspire Courtney Cox's look? How much did a stamp even cost back then? WHAT AM A SEX?

What could be more appropriate to fill the month of no availability than re-runs? In Syndication is a new bonus series where we present our previous shows to our current audience. First up, a milestone episode of the very first show we made together. And now, the relevant show notes taken from the original airing:

Happy Valentine's Day! In this holiday special, Alaina talks about the most romantic thing she knows: gruesome murder. How are movie gangsters different from the real guys? Why can't rival operations just get along? Who actually did the dang thing, anyway?

Season 2, episode 13: And Everything Nice

Written by Lawrence Hertzog

Directed by Burt Brinckerhoff

Young love is a powerful force. For Lucas, it's strong enough to reshape his entire life and pull him away from the family he's built. That's just what some terrorist kidnappers were counting on.

Season 2, episode 12: Lostland

Written by Ted Raimi & David J. Burke

Directed by Bruce Seth Green

The seaQuest has discovered evidence of Atlantis itself, but the curse upon its artifacts drives the crew to pieces. Somehow, that's the frame for a story about responsibility which uses the ensemble to great effect.
