A second voyage of season three proves more of a treat!

Like my friend Kenneth said there is much in this compilation that is a rehash of episodes and seasons past that can be condemned. However, there are still some highlights that can be savored.

Of course, the principal actors, all eight of 'em (Richard Basehart, David Hedison, Terry Becker, Del Monroe, Paul Trinka, Richard Bull, Arch Whiting, and Robert Dowdell, , get their share of screen time. But, careful eyes will notice the "unnamed crewmen" - the blond guy, the brown-haired guy, the short Latino, and, yes, the black guy - bouncing around in several installments, with no lines but their appearance is noticeable. They can "rock and roll" with the best of them as the Seaview experiences another explosion or attack from a deadly creature.

There is an extensive use of stock footage but there are some installments that provide some new glimpses of the Seaview, the Flying Sub, and the control room.

As far as the individual episodes are concerned, I found something praiseworthy to be said about several of them:

"The Brand of the Beast," a sequel to "Werewolf" is much more entertaining and better acted than its forerunner. "Werewolf," in my books was just bad.

"The Creature" features veteran ham Lyle Bettger as the protagonist, a scientist linked to a malevolent plant growth.

"Death from the Past" has two fun Nazi's from World War II trying to take over the world for the Third Reich. Don't bother to understand how they hadn't aged in thirty-five years. The ep is just loads of fun with guest stars John Van Dreelan and Jan Merlin as the swastika-wearing officers.

Though the effect is rather cheesy, "The Heat Monster" sports some wicked lines, delivered with relish by Jim Mills, who would pop up several times as the voice behind the "monster." Alfred Ryder is the guest star and he puts in another memorable characterization.

"The Fossil Men" has rocklike humanoids attempting to take over the world (GASP!!!) and even though their existence is implausible, the premise is engaging.

"No Escape from Death" tries to muster up some of the drama of the more serious first season, incorporating a lot of sepia-tinted footage from that season into the storyline. 'Not a bad show and it provided a interesting "explanation" on how the three crewmen were rescued from the belly of a giant jellyfish.

"The Mummy" recycles a lot of Bernard Herrmann's score from the Gary Cooper/Susan Hayward film "Garden of Evil." It's the use of Bernie's music that enhances a rather routine installment.

Finally, it is Robert Drasnin's inventive score, along with the marvelous Michael Dunn as "The Clown", which makes "The Wax Men" one of the best in the entire four-season run of the show.

As the reader can probably tell, I really liked this half of season three much more than the first half. Stories may have been rehashed but there was a little creativity in them.

I just wish there were some commentary from surviving cast members or some other extras, the bonuses that we DVD buyers have come to suspect.

But, considering that this may be the last set for some time, I suppose we should be grateful for having seasons one through three.

This DVD set brought back memories of watching reruns of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" on Saturday afternoons. The picture and sound quality are incredible! This was the season when the series had the "monster of the week." Season 3, Volume 2 is definitely full of imagination!
