Wiki: "Albert David Hedison Jr. (May 20, 1927 - July 18, 2019) was an American film, television, and stage actor.[1] He was billed as Al Hedison in his early film work until 1959 when he was cast in the role of Victor Sebastian in the short-lived espionage television series Five Fingers. NBC insisted that he change his name and he proposed his middle name; he was billed as David Hedison from then on."
@billwhelpley6825 The funny thing about Voyage is that it seemed everybody on the sub was a frogman. It's really something that probably most people couldn't do, given the level of skill and physical conditioning required.
MAD magazine had a great article about 2001 (A,Space Odyssey) not working out as expected --- "all we got from 2001 (the year) was Big Mouth Billy Bass."
I have tried to watch a few episodes but have to stop. They were so crap. Most series by Irwin Allen were rubbish. The only one I like is The Time Tunnel, mainly for the alien stories. This episode is watchable though.
George Takei was everywhere in the 60's. Remember the " Green Berets". He was granted a leave from Star Trek to do the movie. That's how Chekhov got his intro.
Sort of true. Chekhov was added at the start of season 2. During GT’s absence Chekhov got the big role in “Trouble with Trimble’s” that was supposed to go to Sulu
@@lancecampbell4323 There was no problem with Bjo Trimble. Ha-ha. I know it was just a typographic error. The episode title is _'The Trouble with Tribbles.'_
@@lancecampbell4323 You're welcome. Automatic spell check is actually a bad thing. It changes words to something other than what you intended and it failed to catch my misspelling of Bjo's first name,...which I have now corrected.
WOW ! - Mr Sulu I presume - about the same time he got the Star Trek gig :) thanks for posting these - saw then as a kid. Loved them. 60 now :) Still love them and the flying sub.
I used to love the Flying Sub. I always wanted one. My dad was always quick to point out that swivel chairs on any aircraft wasn’t practical I still thought it was pretty cool. The swivel chair in our living room became my flying sub.
Many widely agree. Much was spent to assure the quality of this season. Unfortunately, from a commercial standpoint, it was determined that "the audience" wanted something else from the series. The rest of the show's run would be spent trying to get by without what was invested in Seasons 1 and 2.
Indeed. Unfortunately, commercial demands on an expensive series had the PTB change course. We do have those precious 2 seasons of "foreign intrigue" available thankfully. Curiously, it's the marketability of the creature features that has preserved the others....
My family was too poor to afford color TVs back in the 60s, so we saw everything on those tube set B&W CRT consoles. I remember having to adjust the rabbit ears antenna and the various screen controls on the back to get the best picture.
Remember George Takei in "The Green Berets." (1968) While serving in the U.S. Army, in South Korea, during the Pueblo crisis. All the servicemen were able to watch "Star Trek" at the service centers.
yeah he did. The mirror universe Sulu was his best role. From the start trek episode "Mirror, Mirror". His character was a bit dark and dangerous here. But, not as dark and dangerous as mirror Sulu.
Have you seen him as Captain Nimh in The Green Berets? Best role. When he hears an American officer bragging about going home, he quietly says, "I go home too one day. My home Hanoi. First...KILL ALL STINKING CONG! Then I go home."
Thinking back to the 60s, I remember a number of actors who excelled at playing their evil counterparts. Guy Williams did it several times in "Lost in Space," and I think he enjoyed it.
This 1965 episode of ABC's "VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" used some of the finest special effects of "The Flying Sub", as it dives into the river of the Tropical location, where LB Abbott and Howard Lydecker used some of the finest miniature FX work ever made for the Irwin Allen series, as The Flying Sub is under the lake bottom. while doing electronic drone mines-great special effects work!
In addition to George Takei, Filipino American actress Pilar Seurat (1938-2001-born, Rita Hernandez), who guest starred in this "VOYAGE" episode, also co-starred in "Wolf In The Fold", a 1967 episode of NBC's "STAR TREK". Bert Freed (1919-1994), who played the Enemy scientist, destroying the space probes, is best remembered from the 1971 movie, "BILLY JACK", where he got "whopped" by Billy Jack's right foot, before the character engaged in a martial arts scene (stunted by Hapkido grandmaster, Bong Soo Han, who also worked on "THE TRIAL OF BILLY JACK" (1974)
Wow! Pilar Seurat was a knockout! She was also in the Syaar Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold", her voice is so honey coated. It doesn't sound like it comes from that little body. lol
As a kid the Flying Sub & the Jupiter 2 of Lost on Space (also produced by Irwin Allen) both fired up my fantasies of traveling, with family and friends, on cozy, thrilling, and always protected WINNEBAGO-Like camping rides under the sea or among alien stars and planets! - AND, I STILL DO!!
Random fact …. When either “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” and “Lost in Space” had a monster during their filming, The production company would schedule the shows filming for the same or day after so that both shows could utilize the creatures when they had the make up and costumes to save a buck . And as cheesy as those creatures were , they must have saved a bundle .
And what really sucked is when the same monster was on both shows during the same week. I guess the producers never thought the same kids would be watching both shows.
Thank you! Most of the credit goes to MeTV and Fox Television for remastering the show in HD, but I put some effort into it, too. Now if the Blu-Rays would come out...
Yeah, the first twenty seconds or so I was wondering if the video was mistitled. Not used to seeing Voyage so clean and bright - most of my memories stem from black and white CRT sets. :)
My Navy ship in the early 1980s still had teletypes in the Radio Room. We even had pneumatic bunny tubes to send written messages between Radio Central and other stations aboard ship. My UHF radios and crypto gear still had tubes. Takes awhile for old tech to die.
Man, I just cannot watch these any longer. So many holes it makes Swiss cheese seem solid. I do thank you for posting it though. You gave me a chance to re-live some childhood memories. It was worth suffering though it.
@@buzomatic yup.. That's kind of up there with holding a pistol sideways (it's actually so you can see the actors face) or lights inside the space helmet (again, so you can see the actors face). Actors are also paid more by lines of dialog so I'm guessing the actors wouldn't do the scenes writing dialog on white boards :)
I don't care, I love it anyway. They were doing the best they could with the limits of the technology they had access to, and taking storytelling risks that no network would dare take these days. You've just got to let it go and enjoy the ride.
Let’s see. This episode guest stars George Takai, it’s in color, not black and white and before the monster of the week took over which places it around 1965 or 1966.
Ski was a cool nickname in fact I wish I had that nickname!!! My name is Bruce in college they started calling me Brucski!!!! Eventually it evolved into ski!!! My dream came true!!!My basketball (intramural) jersey said ski on the back!!!
George Takei was also in an episode of Mission Impossible around the same time. He played a biologist who saved Roland Hands' life when Barney helped improvise a way to inject the cure for the plague.
A fine series, despite some dubious writing at times. This episode was very well done, but some of the ones involving aliens invading Seaview were a bit off. Also the concept of a "flying sub" is ludicrous. Submarines and aircraft are the antithesis of one another. However, these are pretty minor criticisms. I've seen far worse. I can suspend my disbelief to enjoy the show. The acting is very good for the most part. Bob Dowdell (Chip Morton) and Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson) have a natural, understated way of acting that I find very believable. They're playing to the other actors, not to the camera. They do what's needed and not more. In a TV actor, that is gold.
Being a Navy veteran serving aboard a Frigate for a few years, I see a lot wrong in the way they portray shipboard procedures. But hey, we don't look to Hollywood for true accuracy. 😅

@@glennwatson3313 Hmmmm....it hit the water at an angle of around 80 degrees, at a fast speed..... Yet, when the camera showed us the underwater scene, the ship somehow 'lost' all of that momentum and the nose even dipped 'UP' a bit..... Artistic License sure beats physics laws any day, right, Einstein?
"Dates ". Yes, it's to emphasize "SF" and, according to one story, ABC wanted to assure viewers that any "rough stuff" that might disturb them was imaginary.
@@blockmasterscott Which he never will of course. His hatreds, which at best are based on Shatner being a scene stealer, are genuinely pathological. Such a small man.
I love them both and usually hope to avoid armed conflict with hostile Trekkers and their allies. The Trekkers have long attacked Voyage and Lost In Space on all levels including SFX. I've learned to attempt several means of defense, one being: yes, the Trekkers are in error calling Voyage shoddy -- "who else did this better?" Fox was really generous here and the SFX is fine art. Star Trek -- I'm not sure how to compare the budgets and logistics, but it's often said that Desilu had limited resources for The Original Series Trek. As an OS devotee too, they did heroic work getting Trek OS on and keeping it going. Its interesting now to hear so many contemporary complaints about how "unacceptably primitive" the Original Series Trek is for these hypercritical critics. To the extent that there are demands to use CGI to completely rework OS. Both the Allen Shows, STOS, and might as well toss in Original Outer Limits too, are works of technical art. I appreciate your noticing this. Many thanks.
may be you should look at the positioning of were the flying sub comes out of the seaview. it leaves very little space for the command bridge. and the size of the sub able to easy take 5 people in the room means it is very big. the mines were so thunderbirds, captain scarlet. stingray etc.
Possibly 3 decks shown in some schematics made the planning for the Flying Sub addition feasible. The Flying Sub replaced the old, original "Observation Nose" on the lowest forward deck. The second deck above now served the control room (yes, there's a problem with the original location of the control room being farther aft, but I'm still working THAT out). A third deck apparently also has window access but for financial and logistics reasons isn't ever shown.
They'd be out of luck with me.....I can't stand ⚾ Baseball and I wouldn't know the score 4 the World Series if my life depended on it....which I guess, it would. 😁😄😊

Star Trek's Enterprise also used swivel chairs on the bridge. Having been stationed on a Navy ship, it quickly becomes obvious it's not a good idea.

Remember George Takei in "The Green Berets." (1968)
While serving in the U.S. Army, in South Korea, during the Pueblo crisis.
All the servicemen were able to watch "Star Trek" at the service centers.
"The Green Berets" was shot in part at Fort Benning, GA.

Indeed. Though thought unusual, women comprised then/now much of the show's fandom.
I met George Takei in 2016 and showed him a pic of him from this ep, he was very flattered.
I was a kid when this aired, thanks for the flashback.
Sci-fi before the microchip is so cool.
As an old ex-Navy Electronic Tech working on old tube gear, I agree! 😎👍
Good point😂!
No wonder Takei was so great at playing Mirror Sulu! As Prime Sulu he was sadly underused.

Usually, the footage of the flying sub is repeated, but in this episode it is a new footage😊
That’s right! There’s a couple of season three episodes with new FS1 footage, too.
Very early in the season, when a wealth of footage was being laid out.
I'm at George a long time ago in fact it was right after Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan super nice guy

SEALs do it. The subs have lock-out chambers.
A fine series, despite some dubious writing at times. This episode was very well done, but some of the ones involving aliens invading Seaview were a bit off. Also the concept of a "flying sub" is ludicrous. Submarines and aircraft are the antithesis of one another.

We'd have already been nearly destroyed by the Eugenics Wars in the 1990, had interplanetary sleeper ships that work...
@@TooleManTV You are so correct, but there really is no good reason for space travel... yet. I WISH there was !
Maybe Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea takes place in the Kelvin timeline !😀
Past the Moon yet, let alone having a base on the Moon that gets blasted out of orbit by a new kind of radiation.
Never get off the Flying Sub…Not unless you’re going all the way; OH MY! 😲
The mini sub plane hit the water at flight speed and the 3 man crew instantly died from force trauma
artistic license
Naw, that thing sliced right through the water. It did so hundreds of times.
@@glennwatson3313
Hmmmm....it hit the water at an angle of around 80 degrees, at a fast speed.....
Yet, when the camera showed us the underwater scene, the ship somehow 'lost' all of that momentum and the nose even dipped 'UP' a bit.....
Artistic License sure beats physics laws any day, right, Einstein?
Fortunately the liberal use of Flubber™ saved the day.
@@johnborges5938
I'm sure Mork from Ork would be pleased......
Looks good in 60fps...
Thanks!
Too bad it was originally shot at around 30 fps (or 24, depending on the cameras used).
Ever notice that there is no sea life in these episodes.
Nice to see an occasional woman on this show.
Ain't that the truth! Women were phased out after season 2. Not even occasional women were allowed. :)
@@TooleManTV kinda like Moby Dick Nelson was in that movie and not a single female character was in it, unless Moby Dick was a female?😀😀
And a pretty one too ❤
Voyage was broadcast on ABC from September 14, 1964, to March 31, 1968. I dont know why we see the year '1976' at the beginning.
When we saw the show during its original run, between 1964 and 1968, the dates were in the future!
It's a science fiction show set in the near future!
1976 is the US bicentennial.
"Dates ". Yes, it's to emphasize "SF" and, according to one story, ABC wanted to assure viewers that any "rough stuff" that might disturb them was imaginary.
Sulu, who will never give up his utter hatred of Shatner, is the smallest man in the Star Trek universe.
Ooooohhhhh Myyyyyyyyyy….
I wish William (The Big Giant Head) Shatner would stop making new UA-cam IDs. He didn't even change his first name this time!
Yeah, he really needs to stop with that.
@@blockmasterscott Which he never will of course. His hatreds, which at best are based on Shatner being a scene stealer, are genuinely pathological. Such a small man.
@@cindydott452 what is WS doing for youtube?
I thought I spotted sulu on voyage to the bottom of the sea was confused for a second 😂
This show had better special effects than Star Trek.
I love them both and usually hope to avoid armed conflict with hostile Trekkers and their allies. The Trekkers have long attacked Voyage and Lost In Space on all levels including SFX. I've learned to attempt several means of defense, one being: yes, the Trekkers are in error calling Voyage shoddy -- "who else did this better?" Fox was really generous here and the SFX is fine art. Star Trek -- I'm not sure how to compare the budgets and logistics, but it's often said that Desilu had limited resources for The Original Series Trek. As an OS devotee too, they did heroic work getting Trek OS on and keeping it going. Its interesting now to hear so many contemporary complaints about how "unacceptably primitive" the Original Series Trek is for these hypercritical critics. To the extent that there are demands to use CGI to completely rework OS.
Both the Allen Shows, STOS, and might as well toss in Original Outer Limits too, are works of technical art. I appreciate your noticing this. Many thanks.
There is always a character named "Kowalski"
Unless they're named Wojciehowicz, of course. :)
*sigh* damn, i did love me some kowalski
14:29 Captain Crane meets Mr Sulu!😀
may be you should look at the positioning of were the flying sub comes out of the seaview.
it leaves very little space for the command bridge. and the size of the sub able to easy take 5 people in the room means it is very big.
the mines were so thunderbirds, captain scarlet. stingray etc.
Possibly 3 decks shown in some schematics made the planning for the Flying Sub addition feasible. The Flying Sub replaced the old, original "Observation Nose" on the lowest forward deck. The second deck above now served the control room (yes, there's a problem with the original location of the control room being farther aft, but I'm still working THAT out). A third deck apparently also has window access but for financial and logistics reasons isn't ever shown.
When I first saw this in 1965, I said WOW. Now, 58 years later, I am saying: You have got be kidding.
Buena serie deberían traducirla al castellano latino.
Insert stock footage on mini sub crashing into the sea
in the series how many times does ski get knocked out ?
Too many times!
now I can see that it was a model sub in a tub of salt water
13:51… Oh my!
They'd be out of luck with me.....I can't stand ⚾ Baseball and I wouldn't know the score 4 the World Series if my life depended on it....which I guess, it would. 😁😄😊
I'm with you. In this case I'm better off back at the Seaview with Chip.

Where is Richard Basehart?
He had time off that week, will have to check on the reason why again. Later in the Season he was off camera for a few episodes due to health reasons.
