OMG HOW COME ZAK HAS FULL ON TELEKINESIS?! That menu had NO water on it and he just shot it into Cams hand

[Trident True]

they all have telekinesis. Eric had it too, in the last episode you see him send the moonstone from the ground to the moon stone illusion in the merman chamber. Mimi and Ondina used telekinesis in the first episode to repel Cam.


if the are going to to bring back the girls or just one girl from h20 I would think it would be to battle the water dragon. the 3 girls had an individual power, not multiple like we see it mako Mermaids.. so perhaps this is the key.
all 3 working together as one. (this is my prediction)

[PhaylennMurúch]

Probably because the made mermaids don't seem to have the same weaknesses as the born mermaids

[MarkF]

Zac specifically is royalty, which may make more powers available to him.
My favorite stretch is when the morph their clothes do with them, including jewelry.

[bluegill]

I hope Carly becomes a mermaid in season 3 or 4. A really good show.

[malinghi]

weee!

Ok so Season 3 Mako Mermaids spoilers ahead, seriously. And some wild guesses/fangirling


First things first, that flashback when Zaks parents were telling him about the day they found him. Didn't they wonder why a naked baby was wrapped in seaweed? 'cause he was. And OMG I totally want them to have a current relationship with Nerissa so they have been like putting yearly pictures into bottles and tossing them into the sea for her. I SO want them in on the secret it makes my brain itch.
In the episode with the Canadian mermaid (*snort* totally got a mental image of Raina luring kayakers to their doom) If Mimmi was immune to the song then why couldn't Zak be immune as well? They're technically both from a Northern Pod. and why oh why did they do that to Sirena? I know she was under an enchantment but she was full on "there is no Dana, there is only Zuul"

A personal question, one that they will probably never answer in a kids show, what would happen if a mermaid oh, say, froze someone's blood? or pulled all the liquid from their bodies like Magneto and that guard in X-Men 2
That's called blood bending. It's super immoral.

This is nothing new in the show. Already in season 1 we could see Lyla using telekinesis to levitate a photo cube in Zac's bedroom.

They never addressed it in Mako, but they did in h2o! I think the episode is called "The Big Chill" and Emma froze Miriam solid. Rikki had to use her heating powers and Cleo had use hers to start moving her fluids. They have yet to address the pulling liquid from someones body though.

It wasn't the end. New season started filming in April and it will be released in 2016 :) Unfortunately, Sirena and Erik won't be in this season.

[TritonsGuard]

Not sure if anyone has discussed this yet, and if you have, oh well. Anyway, I have noticed a phenomena in the series that reminds me of one within another, Mass effect.

Excuse me if I don't immediately cut to the chase, but I want to give you all a chance to figure it out before I spit it out.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has noticed the how certain people have changed in attitude very suddenly, and this may be intentional (on the show's creators part). Think back to mid way through the first season. There were times when Zac seemed like another person. For example: when he first came back to the moon pool. The way he talked and looked, was not like himself. He seemed to enjoy tormenting the girls. Same thing when they confronted him at his house. The next incident happened shortly after with Cam. He was willing to betray his best friend, and gladly. The next didn't happen for a while. Erik's demeanor changed completely in just one episode. Sure he was very interested in the chamber, but not nearly to this degree. It was not till the end that he changed back.
All of these events have one thing in common, the Trident or at least the stone. I believe it may be more then just a weapon forged during the war, I think it may have been the very cause of it. How this reminds me of Mass Effect is that in that series, there is a disturbing psychological weapon called "indoctrination." All objects made by a certain very old, yet highly advanced, race emits a faint signal that is hard to detect. Unless the person is aware of the effects, he or she does not suspect a thing, but over time it changes their thought patterns. They are compelled to do things but don't know why, and after a while, the individual comes to believe that the races ambitions, which are extremely atrocious, are right. Sound a bit familiar?

Another thing that was not concluded was the chambers second ability, transportation and imprisonment. Both Ondina and Erik were transported to a place its purpose seemed to be some kind of jail. One must wonder what it was for, who it was for, and more importantly, are they still there.

I hope get answers in the next season.

[Ariel101]

Ohh I love theories and such so I'm going to have a go at your post TritonsGuard to try to make some sense to some of it. And I totally got where you were coming from. The first thing I thought like that was the horcruxes in Harry Potter. Whenever someone that wasn't Voldemort had it, the horcruxes would posses the person to do stuff. Like Ron running out on them in the Forest of Dean. I hope you're a Harry Potter fan to understand this.


Another thing that was not concluded was the chambers second ability, transportation and imprisonment. Both Ondina and Erik were transported to a place its purpose seemed to be some kind of jail. One must wonder what it was for, who it was for, and more importantly, are they still there.
I think that area they were in was a jail of some sort. When the war broke out it seemed to be the place that they would drown their enemies. I mean mermaids and mermen can hold their breath for a long time but sooner or later they would have to come up for air. This could also be some kind of torture device of some sort as well. My guess is that, since it was controlled by mermen, was to hold the mermaids prisoners. I don't think anyone is still there but since Zac is a descent of the person who made the chamber he is the one that holds the most control over the chamber.

Those meat bras haven't changed a bit...

They are HIDEOUS! I called them the exact same thing awhile back. Can't believe they couldn't come up with something more flattering...but then I don't like their thick, clunky tails either.

[Kumori Kitsune]

I watched it already on netflix but me and my bf are planing on watching the new released half of the season together. I love it I'm so excited for season 3 he is really loving it and I think he wants to start mering more now he sees Zac and the other menly men do it too.

[mermaid_ashes]

I just started this after finishing h20...yay, it's good!

[Imogen Finnly]

Now the bra thing i never understood. Is it a like.. an actual bra like a top or is it part of their skin? Cause if its the latter the straps always move around when they do.
Also, those tails are lovely but ive said it before, the functionality of them suck and their is a gap for days. They swim so slowly. Like 00000 propulsion.

formerly jayy

[Imogen Finnly]

As far a a plot and background, story and writing i think this show is more "write as you go" as opposed to a completely mapped out show. So many things make zero sense. Haha but ill still watch it. To da grave!

formerly jayy

[jvry8c]

The "scale bra" thing always bothered me to. It looks crappy and cheap. Honestly if they wanted them covered I think a scaled tube top or something would look and work better. The tails look awesome but the seem to swim rather slow when they are not shooting through the water like a torpedo with the help of cgi. It's to bad the extended tails don't work as well as I would think they would. I'm curious now if the mermaid tails in the movie hook suffered the same problem.

I am not so certain that they are moving so slowly... It can be very difficult to tell in an ocean how fast someone in moving. There is surge and current and also the background may be further away than it appears thanks to magnification. I think you would have to see the tails in a pool to know how fast they go. I've never liked the thick look of them, though, I definitely agree on that!

[MerEmma]

There is an episode of H2O with Bella and Will swimming in the pool in season 3. When he is supposed to meet with a sponsor, mid-season ish I think? Maybe not. I can't recall.

The actresses in interviews always say it feels so fast to them, I've never thought they seemed slow. Leisurely, because they rarely need to swim fast (Mako Mermaids has more hurried/fast swimming scenes) in H2O but never really "slow." The Hook tails I feel like were on for such a short amount of time it's so difficult to judge anything about those, lol.

[Echidna]

While determining the relative swim speed is impossible without having a comparison, H2O swim scenes felt always slow and cumbersome to me.
You also never see them move more than 2 or 3 seconds, then comes a close-up.
The H2O tails are heavy and not very flexible, so maybe that's why.

In Mako, the swim scenes are a bit longer and look better, although they're still not plentiful and the only one who is ever shown swimming longer than a few seconds in a row is Zac (who has a background in swimming).

Anyway, there is plenty of footage of mers or freedivers with monofins where you can SEE they're swimming fast, simply because the undulation amplitude is small.
Best example for fast swimming: that one video named "Monofin Jump". You know which one.
It's easy to tell when he races up he's swimming fast.

So if a mer or an actor looks like they're hardly moving, then that is because they are not swimming fast :p
Granted, it's not always needed to be fast (in fact, for freediving, it's detrimental if you go for a long downtime), but if someone can and does swim fast, you still see it.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

And its so much more tiring to swim fast! I can't imagine doing that in something more than a fabric tail.

[Imogen Finnly]

I dont think they ever swim in the ocean. Im pretty sure its a pool the whole time and an aquarium for ocean scenes, at least the latter was my impression.
Even like a bra that had sea weed and netting and sea stars would give us a clearer idea of what it is than what they wear now haha

formerly jayy

[Imogen Finnly]

Also funny to me is when anyone swims together or anything they always have moments where they stare at each other and smile
Haha i find that funny. And unrealistic to a degree but i knit picking now haha

You mentioned this before, but we still don't know how fast is "fast" :thinks:

Also, I imagine a swimmer/freediver like Hannah would be able to get much more out of those tails than the actresses.

[MarkF]

Didn't the interview say they practiced in the pool for week or a month? Something like that. Guessing with paid trainers you'd be able to swim comfortably at least.

[Echidna]

Sure, but you need certain muscles to do a good dolphin kick, and those don't grow that fast.
Hannah has been diving all her life though.

[lynsea]

Looks like an H2O mermaid will be joining the Mako cast for an episode at least! My bet is that it will either be Rikki (Cariba Heine) or Bella (Indiana Evans) as they aren't doing any major projects at the moment unlike Cleo (Phoebe Tonkin) and Emma (Claire Holt) who are involved in big projects here in the US. I can't wait to see the storyline and how they explain the crossover!! Looks like they will be reprising their character rather than just playing a new one otherwise JMS would have just said "actress" rather than "mermaid."

https://twitter.com/ufojmsp/status/613852176058728448

If he sticks true to the "original" part (meaning Cleo, Rikki, or Emma), my bet is on Rikki.

[Neria]

Wow! I can't wait to see who it is. That's really cool. I've always wondered how Mako Mermaids ties back to H2O, maybe this will provide a bit of explanation :D

[PhaylennMurúch]

I think that's how they're going to tie things in. Probably some sort of explanation as to why such a big pod could not care about the H2O girls


Though anyone notice that they (the elders) really didn't seem to care about Evie becoming a mermaid? I kinda think that the mermaid counsel knew about the H2O girls (a bit exciting now that we know that Bella would be considered a Northern mermaid) and were all like "whatever, they're not dudes"

[MerEmma]

I don't think it'll be Bella...gotta be Rikki. I wish Lewis would! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkvWvDMYSuk

[Kishiko]

Sent from my shellphone using Mertalk

[lynsea]

Judging by the photo the official Mako instagram just posted, it's definitely one of the original mermaids (Emma, Rikki, or Cleo). Who it is depends on how many episodes they are expected to sign on for. If it's only one or two, it could be any of them but if it's more than that I expect it will be Rikki as Cariba Heine still lives in Australia (as apposed to LA for the other two actresses) and isn't involved in any major productions (Aquarius for Claire Holt and the Originals for Phoebe Tonkin).

[Imogen Finnly]

I wish they would say already! I wish louis would come back! I cant wait to hear the explanation of why they never ran into each other in the moon pool or anywhere else since there was like a billion of them living off the island.

This is a bit off topic, but just wanted to throw this out. For those of you who like the H2O franchise, and went to see some good Australian movies, check out "The Man From Snowy River," (which is on Netflix Now) and it's sequel "Return to Snowy River." It isn't about mermaids, but they have a great story. It is a western more about horses then guns, and has a pretty strong female character, especially in the second one, which is my favorite of the two. However, be warned. The second movie has something in it that has even me holding back tears when I watch it, but it has an awesome ending. The sound track is great too. I highly recommend them.

maybe the blurred people are not part of it and they blurred them out in order to not put the idea that these random background people (who don't seem to be facing the camera at all) are part of the next season

Like a lot of people said, I'm just curious what this means for the show's mythology. I don't actually think it will make sense but I'm excited to see how nonsensical it can be.

Between the question of how mermaids are born if they never interact with mermen, the unexplained introduction of new powers and forms of magic at various times, and the whole comet thing at the end of the last series, this could be seriously nonsensical.

I also wonder if they explain the fact that the moonpool was damaged in the series finale of H2O and it couldn't do magic anymore. But I am afraid that they won't answer any of these questions. In the interview with the director Jonathan M. Shiff, he said that he originally considered Mako Mermaids as a prequel to H2O, but now they decided to change it to sequel. So it seems that they don't care about the mythology and timeline so much.

[MerEmma]

AHHHHHH! So cool, so so cool. I'm excited! Cariba looks so grown up. I remember on her Twitter or ask.fm (or some social media that claimed to be her, and I believe it was) she said she had only watched a couple episodes of Mako. Eeeee!

the Most Successful Series Shiff had was Ocean Girl with a total of 4 seasons.

The old guy is Jonathan M. Shiff. The other new guy I dunno (far left guy looks kinda like Erik in the face).

[Trident True]

that's the Guy Mimi had a crush on at the marine park. she was helping him understand dolphins.

German website (http://www.tivi.de/fernsehen/mako/artikel/42529/index.html) revealed the explanation of Sirena's absence in season 3 - She leaves Mako to spend holidays on Hawaii with her sister Aquata and in the meantime, Weilan appears in Rita's house and meets Mimmi and Ondina. But the real reason why Amy Ruffle left the show is still unknown.

[Mermaid Neri Elvina]

That's a good way of doing it. Did they give a reason to Lyla and Nixie's absence?

If I remember correctly, Lyla and Nixie went off to be part of the scouting group to find a safe spot for the pod to relocate to while Mako was, y'know, infested with mermen and stuff.

I'm just curious does anyone know why Lucy Fry and Ivy Latimer didn't come back after season one and were replaced?

[MerEmma]

They haven't come out to say it but most actors don't really wanna be on a children's show forever. Lucy Fry is now on Vampire Diaries (I think, one of those Vampire Shows) and Ivy hasn't really been spotted with something else I don't think.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Sirena was in a healthcare fund ad recently. She only said one word, forgot what it was but she had an triple scoop ice cream, and a colorful wooly jumper.

[Trident True]

Ivy used to be in home and away but not sure what she is up to now. Lucy did a movie called vampire Academy which may be the reason why she didn't return for the second season. i just hope they execute mako mermaids, the ending that is.

I just saw a HBF ad and at the end it had a girl with an ice cream cone.. the actress was Isabel Durant (http://mako-mermaids1.wikia.com/wiki/Isabel_Durant) who played Ondina.

[lynsea]

Yeah, he's still a mermaid. I'm assuming the destruction of the stone means all the powers it took were returned. Plus if you need more proof, his last shot in the series is him running into the ocean... I'm going to assume he still had his tail.

Also apparently one of the tails has met its end :( This might mean this is the last mermaid series if they're handing out (parts of) the tails compared to what they did after H2O (kept them).

It's hard to know what people mean by seasons. Netflix divided the second season up into two parts and called it season 2 and season 3. I honestly think this might be the last season of Mako (this new one). It would, at least, match what H2O did and have three seasons of 26 episodes each.

Ocean Girl,which I wish netflix would play again, went 4 seasons as I recall. They re-cast the mother which made things confusing as the actresses were not at all alike. I was really disappointed with the finale that of MM/MIS that was on netflix. I am not the target demographic or viewer. It was evident that cost were cut and there were hardly any tails or beauty shots of mers swimming. On the other hand I was sort of expecting this to go sort of Ocean Girl and we learn that mermaids are from a different planet/dimention and the chamber is the spaceship. Do not get me wrong I liked OG even better than MM/MIS. Even more fun to know that the kid Geoffrey Walker was the director of H20:JAW.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

After that short vid, I'm pretty disappointed! I had hoped that with there being a different race of mermaid (Chinese), that her tail would be a different color too. It's kinda old fashioned the way that they have done it. Its like saying, girl mermaids MUST HAVE ORANGE TAILS, and boy mermen MUST HAVE BLUE TAILS. Its the whole pink for girls and blue for boys debate again.

Also doesn't Weilans tail have some red around the end of it? On the end of the clip where her and Ondina are swimming it looks like her tail has red whereas Ondina's does not. On the end. I could be wrong though.

they shouldn't have placed her at an angle. it honestly makes her ass look disproportionate because of the depth issues.
I've seen it before in poorly done indy film posters, I worked on a movie once and the picture and placing of one of the stars made it look like her arm just above the elbow was wider than her head which was very unflattering and unfortunate, she worked damn hard to get in peak physical condition to do all of the things she was required to do and there were SO many better shots

[Trident True]

she is most likely shorter than the other girls, but I think she should have been in the middle with the other girls on the side that way it would of balanced it out. With all girls with same hand poseur.

I did a Mermaid shoot with Kevin McNally a few weeks ago and he said when he was filming Pirates of the Caribbean 5 the Mako girls were staying in the same hotel. Apparently they were pretty big party girls. Kevin's son kept going to party with them.

I thought you guys might appreciate this:

So Merley from Hawaii visited us up in Brisbane last week so Kelda, Merman Jamie and myself went up and had a meet up with her. My mum was our mer tender for the day and answered all the questions from the civilians. At one point this group of girls in their early twenties or so came up and asked her what we were doing, if we were shooting something or not.

Now my mum is a bit of a joker so her first reaction was this: "oh yeah, they're shooting the new H2o trailer here! Were just waiting for the crowd to die out and were gonna come back tonight to finish filming" (it was very crowded at that point) and they believed her haha.

[VanoraSirene]

I'm confused becUss on Netflix they have season 3. But all interviews there's a new actress playing an Asian mermaid and she does not exist in the actual season?

[Mermaid Ciela]

Netflix split season 2 up into season 2 and season 3, so technically season 4 will be the Netflix-version of the season which has the Asian mermaid, even though all the interviews refer to it as season 3.


Sent from the engineering wonder that is my shellphone using Tapatalk

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Aussie netflix only has H2O and Mako Island of Secrets. Which/where is this season 3 and 4 that yous are talking about?

[Mermaid Ciela]

We're talking about Mako Island of Secrets, the third and fourth seasons...series...chunks? Chunks of episodes, I'll say. The second chunk of Mako got split into two smaller chunks for Netflix in the USA, so we have seasons 1-3 of Mako and season 4 coming out whenever it comes out. I think - I'm not 100% sure - that not in the USA, the second chunk of Mako (USA's season 2, 3) is all one season, so the unreleased season will be listed as the third for you guys, not the fourth. Does that make sense?


Sent from the engineering wonder that is my shellphone using Tapatalk

[Mermaid Jaffa]

So confusing! Anyway, thank you, I will keep checking Netflix to see if they have the new ones up yet.

Also, I'm not understanding how the h2o girls never saw the resident merfolk of Mako Island. In Mako Mermaids, they've always said Mako Island was their home, so how come the 3 and the pod never met even by accident?

[Kaila Mermaid]

I think they're supposed to be set in different timelines if I'm not mistaken. That being said, any of season two come out on dvd yet???

[DexRicon]

I'd actually suspect that the mermaids of H20 simply never spent that much time in the water, particularly the deep waters of the pod. And it isn't like someone is always in the moon pool. Since Rikki will be making an appearance in the new season we know they all are around the same location.

For all of us it was probably one mermaid that turned us into mermaid lovers. I'm sure fans of Mad About Men got pretty ticked about Splash and The Little Mermaid thirty some-odd years ago too. But the more juice Mako Mermaids gets in the public eye the more force there will be for the upcoming Chloe Grace-Moretz film and the more force for a potential Splash remake. A little annoyance for a year or two for a potentially groundbreaking film that exists forever.

I heard MM was coming to Disney, but I didnt realize it was so soon! Not ready for this! I wish there was a way to filter out the new members who are like that :sweat drop:

Excited to watch Mako Mermaids- I already have my DVR set! :) I've wanted to see it for a while, but don't have Netflix.

You'll love it! I found it to be more mature than H2o - aimed at a slightly older age group. It still does feel a little teenagey but really great characters and an interesting plot. Oh and there's Mermen!!

I think it's great if it makes more people want to become Mermaids. Those annoying kids will grow up one day and become adults who love Mermaids and that can only be a good thing for our community!

So confusing! Anyway, thank you, I will keep checking Netflix to see if they have the new ones up yet.

Also, I'm not understanding how the h2o girls never saw the resident merfolk of Mako Island. In Mako Mermaids, they've always said Mako Island was their home, so how come the 3 and the pod never met even by accident?

Yes this doesn't actually make sense because we now know that Mako Mermaids comes after H2o in the timeline, in which case the Mako pod should still have been inhabiting Mako when the h2o girls were transformed. h2o can't be more than 10 years before Mako as Ricki will be making a guest appearance in this upcoming series at her present age (26), so the only conclusions I can come to are that the Mako pod were AWOL for some reason in the period when H2o occurred, or otherwise they remained invisible to the girls the entire time (this is fairly unlikely especially since they tend to make themselves visible on a fairly regular basis in Mako, and visit the moon pool regularly). We might get some answers to this crossover when season 3/4 airs in Feb.

I think this one is supposed to be set in an alternate universe sort of thing. Different series, different show, different mermaids, still Mako island (though the island itself has changed some too in terms of the appearance and structure of the moonpool). Following this idea, the Mako pod has always been there. As far as I am aware though, we dont yet have confirmation of Rikkis return. We got a teaser with Cariba (and an unknown new mermaid) and that is it. Because 'Rikki' returning has yet to be confirmed (just her actress as a mermaid) there are no details about whether she will be the old character coming on the show, or just the director bringing her in as a separate new character (that older fans will remember as being on the old series). If they do bring her back as Rikki (almost like a younger Mrs. Chatham in the original series) I hope they bring back Cleo too (and if they brought back Emma and Bella so they could finally meet, I will die). Only time will reveal. I am pretty excited though :)

Rikki the character from h2o is 100% confirmed as guest starring in the next Mako season, as evidenced by this post where her name is mentioned and the character name is even tagged in the photo! Unfortunately I haven't heard any rumours of any of the other h2o characters returning, all the rumours were about "one" of the old characters returning. https://mobile.facebook.com/officialmakomermaids/photos/a.454928024602626.1073741825.137127539716011/825224904239601/?type=3&source=48

if you go to the official MAKO MERMAIDS site you will find there how they tie Rikki into the show.

I remember in the final episode of H2O, when they were at the graduation, one of the students that got called to the stage for their certificate, was Lucy Fry. And it was same chick as in Mako Mermaids. That was how I got to thinking, how come they and the real pod never met each other.

Season 4 (on Netflix)/ Season 3 will be debuting Spring 2016 according to the MM twitter. We sort of already knew this. No specific date set.

[SeaMansa]

I find it odd that Mako is playing on Disney.
H20 used to play on Nickelodeon. I know its really an Australian show, but still.

Does anyone happen to know when it is airing in Australia (on Eleven)? I heard February but I haven't seen any specific date.

Good news for Aussie Mako fans - Season 2 has been released today on Aussie Netflix! (Yea we're a little bit behind here!) Also season 3 is coming to tv really soon, the producer says 'hopefully March or April'!

Yay! Can't wait to watch Season 3 on Netflix! My tv channel box is a pain, some days I have all the channels, other days I only get sbs, channel 7 and the racing channel.

[Merman Andrew]

Its not out just yet. They have completed all the editing and will be released very soon.

Oh I know that. I'm just excited for it to come to Netflix.

It will likely be released on Netflix the same day it debuts anywhere else. At least that's what they did last time.

[Merman Andrew]

OK I finally have an update for anyone who has been hanging out to catch the new season of Mako Mermaids! The new episodes are currently screening in Australia on TV on Channel 11 on Sundays at 10am. The first 2 episodes have already been on but if you're quick you can still catch them on tenplay.com.au. It looks like the new season will not be coming to Aus Netflix until after all episodes have been aired here.

As for the rest of the world the US Netflix release date will be 27th May (ie Friday) when the entire season will be released at once. Hope this info helps!

I've just finished watching the first episode... Their flukes look softer?

[Trident True]

mermaid Jaffa. your right they do look softer i noticed that too. in season two the fluke tips would be flexible but now they really seem to move. it makes me wonder how they get good propulsion. I have seen the first 2 eps. Excellent so far. Love Welin's humour.

In that Making Of videos for previous seasons, they said that they put monofins inside of the tails and that's why it looks so stiff.

Maybe this time around, they didn't use monofins but instead use a harder type of silicone that has the same flex and movement of a rubber monofin? It does look more natural this season, like a real fish tail is supposed to be.

[Merman Andrew]

I can't wait to finally see Cariba Heine (Rikki) again! Apparently she guest stars in the final 2 episodes.

[lynsea]

Watching the new season now. I love this show. Of course it's a little ridiculous but one thing I can't help laughing at is their portrayal of aquarium (marine park) management. The gift shop girl would NOT be asked to step in for a dolphin trainer :D It's like there are 10 people tops working there. Ok, rant over.

[Merman Andrew]

No spoilers please guys! Some of us haven't seen the new espisodes yet and for us here in Australia we have to wait a week in between each episode, so we won't have seen all episodes for a few months yet!

I'll be vague. For a certain character, in a certain episode, at a certain time, for a specific reason: OUCH! Vague enough?

[DexRicon]

You just ruined it all! HOW COULD YOU?! You are just like [redacted] from that episode where [redacted] and [redacted] [redacted] because of [redacted]. Except you're less [redacted] than [redacted].

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Everyone quit with the spoilers!!! I want to watch it in my own time and not have the series ruined with "hints".

[lynsea]

If this is a discussion forum about the show then I think we should have the right to discuss it. I can make a new thread about Season 3/4 if that helps but my suggestion is to avoid similar threads.

I think it's OK to discuss the new season as long as you're not revealing any major plot points. I don't think anyone's broken that rule yet.
