Roy Schneider

I just learned that Roy Schneider died. It's always a bummer when I learn about a great actor dying (it sucks when anyone dies), but Roy's death has struck a strong chord and reminds me of something that I loved and had not thought about in many years. Everyone loves Jaws, if you don't there is a strong chance that there is something wrong with you, but I was obsessed with Seaquest.

I have heard many people talk about there love of Star Trek from their childhoods, I liked Star Trek as well, but Seaquest sparked my imagination. It was a continuation of the fascination I felt after seeing the Abyss, but I could see it every week. I just checked the IMDB page on Seaquest and I was eleven when it started.

I know it wasn't the greatest show in the world, but it was about science and technology and exploring the unknown. I was obsessed and it was well known that I would maim anyone that got in my way of seeing that show. Fair well Cpt. Bridger, you will be missed.
