I'm excited to announce the launch of my Greek myth fantasy book Harmonia , prequel to my Azure Blue Series!


Available here: https://books2read.com/u/3yQLwn

Amazon women wage war on man.

In the late Bronze Age, the fourteenth century B.C., an Amazon nymph dares steal forbidden fruit from the gods. But Harmonia Ambrosia’s crime is not only the taste of a pomegranate, her offense is far worse when seized within enemy lands.

Greek gods descend from Mount Olympus. Demeter and her daughter Persephone, also known as Cora, look down upon this rebel. But not Hades. Hades becomes enamored with her.

With enchanted gifts of war from her lover and champion god Hades, Harmonia fights the dwarfs of Napea and the Hinterland tribes of man. Soon she and her daughter, the princess Nefertiti, lead an Amazon army so far south it even threatens the Pharaoh Amenhotep III of Egypt. But as total conquest lies finally within her grasp, only by sacrifice to gods she loathes can there be any hope of reclaiming peace with man.

As I recall, its nickname was SeaQuest: Voyage to the Bottom of the Ratings, not just a slap at Seaquest an homage to the much older and much more popular Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

As I recall, they fought ratings drops by focusing more on the younger cast members. The ploy didn't work. But I thought it was at least a watchable show.

I'm currently watch SeaQuest. I have a vague memory it gets weird a couple of seasons in, but so far it seems okay.

Season 2 is Star Trek: Deep Submergence Vehicle.

Season 3 is Ocean: Below and Beyond.

Yes, long seasons, but reruns in the summer through to October. If a show was gone, it was gone.

I don't want to have to subscribe to a dozen streaming services to watch one or two shows, which might be cancelled after one season. I can't afford to pay so much, and likely get so little. I share a Prime account with one son, so I can see some things (and Amazon's Freebee channel, or however they spell it). I have Roku TV, and Tubi, so I get some stuff through that. The same son gave me his old Fire Stick, so I can use that.

I'm currently watch SeaQuest. I have a vague memory it gets weird a couple of seasons in, but so far it seems okay. I think I may have watched it entirely when it first aired, but it started the year my youngest was born, so three kids and full-time job with no cable service left me with little time to watch much TV. I remember getting my oldest son to record things on our ancient VCR, and sitting in my bedroom twiddling with an antenna to get UPN. Oy. I'm old.

When I was young, I seem to recall a typical TV show was like 25 episodes or so per season.

The plus side is that we now have a lot more choices. But it's hard to get as invested in any one series, especially now that both Netflix and Disney+ are canceling things right and left. There's also the undesirable trend of taking down a canceled series completely (presumably in an attempt to make it a bigger tax write-off). It used to be that if you wanted to rewatch something produced by a streaming service, you knew it would always be there. It was only licensed content that rotated. But now, there's no certainty the streamer won't just make the series disappear.

Of course, you couldn't rewatch a "quick-cancel" in the old days of broadcast TV. Series with less than three seasons normally didn't get syndication deals. However, the rise of DVD brought some of those series back to life, at least if you were willing to pay for them. A series killed and buried by a streaming service is unlikely to be resurrected that way.

Oh, and forgot to complain that ST: Strange New Worlds is now over for the season. I am so sick of ten episode seasons, and then a year or more to get the next one. And then it just gets cancelled, like Nancy Drew just did, with 13 episodes. The ending didn't suck too bad, though, so there's that. Just too rushed.

Yes, I enjoyed Booth in the first season of Earth:  Final Conflict. The guy who took his place is now a cruise director or something, not into acting for many years. I'll see it out to the end, then find something new. I need to look for the Babylon 5 Crusade thing, I'm not sure if I ever even saw that. :D

If you can get past that premise, it raises a lot of interesting moral questions, specifically about the extent to which the ends justify the means.
