Pretty much a thinly veiled, sea-going version of 'Romeo and Juliet' or 'Westside Story', without the singing and dancing, laid over a historical disaster. Everybody knows the ship was going to hit an iceberg and sink. The only thing that drew audiences was the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio was in it and Kate Winslet showed her boobs, again. The plot was so predictable. I have no idea how it did so well at the box office. I know my opinion isn't a popular one, but I think that speaks volumes about how easily the masses are entertained by flashy beads and baubles. The only thing I found entertaining were the special effects.

A good, wholesome show. The plot moves quickly, and the character development is rapid. However, the sub-plots can get repetitive and tiresome. At times the show seems to move from Evan freaking out about nothing, to a constant stream of "Evan! JSTFU" moments, to Evan just plain putting his foot in his mouth. (Evan's character reminds me of Alan, on Two and a Half Men.) The Boris storyline seems to take too long to unfold. And the constant interference from outside sources gets a little old. Overall though a good show, well worth watching. And definitely good for binge watching. You won't be disappointed.

For a show supposedly based on science, there was so much wrong with this episode. Most of it for dramatic effect. 1) Right at the beginning, the caption said the sightseeing sub was on the bottom of the Caribbean, yet the Seaquest is search in the Bermuda Triangle. No part of the Triangle is in the Caribbean. 2) While salt water is more dense than fresh water, a vessel going from salt to fresh would not lose enough buoyancy to make it sink. Also a freshwater current entering a saltwater environment would cause an upwelling current, as the less dense fresh water rises to the surface. 3) If the raft was in the eye of a hurricane, they would be able to see the eye wall all around them.
