Diving into another Fandom

[sid]

Which is both punny and not entirely true. Since the fandom is Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and I have no intention of writing or reading fanfic. *g*  But as I said in my introductory post over there, my mother had to drag me away kicking and screaming from the last 10 minutes of a Voyage episode in order to get me to church on time to be baptized (at age eleven), so this show is obviously very dear to my heart.  *huggles Lee and Harry and Chip and Ski and Pat and Sparks and Sharkey*  (and yes, slash fic exists for multiple permutations of the aforementioned ;-)

I'm re-watching the series weekly on American Life Network and recapturing the love, so I joined a community.  Which is very small and not very active, and so I throw out an invitation to anyone who fondly remembers Lobster Men and Mermaids and Mad Scientists and Enemy Agents and Enigmatic Aliens and Giant Electric Jellyfish.  The Flying Sub!  The Reactor Room, the Circuitry Room, the Missile Room, the Observation Nose.  The air ducts!!!

Prepare to dive.

Dive, all dive!

You and I must have enjoyed practically all the same shows! (Hmm, two or more, best-friends-with-different-beliefs, macho guys saving the world every week. What's up with that? No wonder we're slashers!)

I had to check out wiki, then the comm; those icons really brought me back. I love the one I saw of the Seaview bursting from the sea. (Continuum, anyone?)

Oddly enough, I just saw the original movie a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't seen the series for probably decades. I may have to break down and buy the DVDs.

Irwin Allen shows were every kids' dream!

The movie always disappointed me because it didn't have the right actors! Nelson IS Richard Basehart. Walter Pidgeon was an imposter, even though he created the role, lol.

I just grabbed myself about a dozen icons over there last night. Didn't see any Lobster Man or Giant Jellyfish ones, though. *g*
