Sealab 2021 Fans: Bush = Captain Murphy |
|
For the non-Sealab fans, Captain Murphy is the arrogant, blowhard leader of Sealab who constantly makes mistakes and endangers his crew. He's also very anti-intellectual as seen in his numerous encounters with Dr. Quinn, a scientist who tries, in vain, to give the Captain the right advice.
There was one episode where Captain Murphy forced his crew to look for treasure in a sunken WWII battleship. I couldn't help but see the parallels to the Iraq war.

1. That's an insult to Captain Murphy |
|
Captain Murphy is certifably insane, he can't be held accountable for his actions.
And he likes pudding! How can he be bad if he likes pudding? :)

Sure he's crazy as hell, but I can identify with him! He's no Bush, that's for damn sure!
