Mako Mermaids/Island of Secrets News

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I've just watched S2 Episode 1 on Channel 10 website... I'll watch it just to see the tails in action. The story seems interesting so far.

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I wasn't a fan on the first season (by any stretch on the imagination) but I find season 2 is much better!

[sashiyoop]

Oh definitely. I finished everything that's up last night, and it was much better plot-wise than season one. At this rate, season three's gonna be great.

Like I said previously, Chinese mermaid better have a different tail!!

[Kishiko]

I finished all of them on Friday! I'm still not a fan of Evie personally, but I do think this season is much better than the first!

Are they selling the disks for season 2 yet???

The first 13 episodes will become available September or October 2015

I wish they'd sell them sooner, my country doesn't have netflix.

[MerEmma]

When's the second half of season 2 released? I haven't seen anything of that. I really enjoyed it, but I too agree that I miss the girl power that H2O had.

[SeaMansa]

I watched two episodes of Season 2 just now. Has anyone noticed the very miniscule differences in tail this seasons? Idk if its because Ondina and Mimmi are Nothern mermaids but their tails seem to be lighter and slightly less golden and the part of their tail that leads to the fluke is different than what we have seen on Lyla, Nixie, and whats her face. I could be wrong but it seems that way to me. Anyway, this season is really good so far. Much better in quality, as in effects. I like it.
I feel they shouldn't have revealed Erik has a merman BEFORE the series came out -__- it would have made it much more interesting to not know but even if u weren't following the behind the scenes and trailers, the opening theme shows you so I felt that a down point for this. But as usual, I love this show and cant wait to see the rest of it. Also, there is only one half up? I have only watched the first 2 but thought all the episodes of the entire season would be up...?

[Prince Calypso]

All i have to say is omg Erik is drool worthy.

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

I must be a bit dumb, cause I totally didn't know Erik was a merman before watching the reveal ep (though, I suspected it due to cues in earlier episodes)

I'm excited to find out more about mermaid and merman culture and society. So if a mermaid has a son, they are raised by humans on land? How does this affect their community compared to the insular pods of the mermaids? A few answers lead to so many more questions! Looking forward to the next installment.

[Prince Calypso]

what i wanna no is if all mermen were banned or almost non existence , then how do mermaids reproduce?

[Atlantisblue]

That's my question. The mermen are their sworn enemies so ya, where do the kids come from.

I like how Zac is a real merman. I just wish they wouldn't have shown Erik to be a merman in the opening credits.

[Echidna]

what i wanna no is if all mermen were banned or almost non existence , then how do mermaids reproduce?

Parthenogenesis is my guess.

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

Agreed. Parthenogenesis is the theory I'm running with. Though, that only ever results in female offspring, so clearly some mermaids are having quickies with either landsmen or mermen. Unless there's a portion of the mermaid community that are hermaphrodites and capable of fertilizing eggs of other mermaids (It's pretty wild mass guessing at this point, since I doubt they'll address this in the show)

I'm also assuming by the word "hatchling" that these mermaids hatch from eggs, which is an interesting thought.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Two words.
Sailors and lifeguards. Cute ones of course! Though ugly ones would hatch up sea hags...

[Echidna]

Well, as in the H2O universe anyone who drops into a moonpool during the full moon becomes a merperson, it's possible the few mermen here and there were begotten in this way.

That would make sense too as they are considered enemies (as in, unnaturally turned humans vs normally hatched mermaids).

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

It's been established that at least one of the mermen in Mako Mermaids is naturally born, as opposed to turned in the moon pool. So it is canon that mermaids are capable of having sons, somehow. And apparently, mermen are raised in human foster families. Not sure if this purely applies to mermaid-born ones, or if the mermen have a way of propagating independently of the mermaids as well.

[MarkF]

How long do they live? How long are they carried before being born?
If they were all born before the Merfolk conflict that could make since.

[Mermaid Sirenia]

Idk of you've guys heard but the H2O mermaids might be making an appearance in season 3!!! The actress who plays Syrena said that they might be doing that!

[Winged Mermaid]

Finished all the episodes! Can't wait for next season, things are getting interesting! Just hope we don't have to wait forever for next season X_x
