Most shows have generally one premise; a premise they
establish in the pilot episode of their show. They're either a mystery show, a
science fiction show, a fantasy show, and if there is some sort of crossover
they let you know. But once in a while a show will momentarily break away from
their established pattern and give you something completely different. That is
the case with the episode Knight of Shadows from the television show SeaQuest.
SeaQuest
is a science fiction show that ran 1993-1996. The first season, of which Knight
of Shadows is a part, takes place in 2018. According to the SeaQuest universe,
the seas have now been colonized and the SeaQuest is sort of the Enterprise of
this universe.
In
Knight of Shadows, Captain Bridger and the SeaQuest find a haunted ship, the
King George, that sunk over a hundred years ago. Bridger and his crew need to
figure out the reasoning behind the haunting and see if they can somehow help
the ghosts to move on. The show is truly freaky in parts and an enjoyable
departure from the science fiction aspect of the show. If you're interested it
is Season 1 Episode 8 and is on instant streaming on Netflix. And since this
episode premiered on October 31, 1993 it is a perfect Halloween episode!
