 The preceding episode, "Blindsided", was later aired on September 13, 1995, which makes for severe continuity gaffes.This episode was written under the belief that the series was not going to be renewed for a third season, thus the apparent destruction of the "seaQuest" and virtually the entire crew.The series was extended to a third season, but this episode does feature the final regular appearances of Dr. Wendy Smith, Sensor Chief Miguel Ortiz, and Captain Nathan Bridger.
