Editor's Note
Based on "Master of Disaster" Irwin Allen's 1961 movie of the same name, the 1960s television drama VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA was one of the most popular science-fiction series of its day. The adventure series centered around the brave and fearless Captain Crane (David Hedison) as he and his seafaring crew went on dangerous missions which often found them saving the world and battling fierce underwater monsters. This collection presents the second volume of episodes from the series' third season.

Many people, including myself, have fond memories of this TV series from younger days, and depending on your tolerance for cliches and campy action, that fondness can be sustained with DVDs as the 4 year run finally gets released. The problem with "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964-1967) was the blessing and curse of having producer Irwin Allen...The potential of this kind of undersea "Star Trek" is great enough to have resulted in some entertaining if not good episodes, and a remake of sorts was seen in the research submarine series "SeaQuest DSV" (1993-1996) which made a curiously comparable devolution from multilayered military missions into badly written monster and aliens stories. One difference would be that "SeaQuest" took real scientific advice for its show (from the Woods Hole Oceanagraphic Institute), while Irwin Allen never seemed to bother with science beyond mindless 1950's style pronouncements of strange things with unique properties, like a dangerous new explosive element or a gas that makes you grow big. - Carl J. Schroeder
