H2O: Just Add Water has a spin-off

Sorry..... That's just my two cents! D'X Trying not to spam!

Who knows but I wish the old cast would make cameos, or be mention in the new series, but it currently seems that they aren't going to be acknowledge the world in the last series.

I like to think the old characters moved on and are having more adventures, figuring out the mermaid thing independently elsewhere in the world They're probably going to school. I like to think Cleo moved to the US to be with Lewis and eventually will have merbabies of their own (as it will be with Bella and Will), and Rikki traveled with Emma once she returned to the Gold Coast to figure out where to go from graduation. But I'm a romantic like that

[Mermaid Dottie]

I....Watched all thirteen episodes in two days....
I'm now anxiously awaiting September.

I love:
Rita
Sirena
David

I get annoyed by:
Zac
Evie
Cam

I think it's hilarious when:
The girls make Rita mad
one of the girls doesn't get a human reference
they try to use a human device and fail
Zac gets caught cheating by Rita

I think mermaids are probably born from magic.... Since this is, a popular family friendly show.....

We'll probably never be told outright. In many traditions, mermaids are thought to mate with humans to make more mermaids, and I just bullshit a bunch of biology to make that make sense We're never going to know how the couples' from the old cast's kids are going to turn out (tail or no tail). I don't think how mermaids are born has anything to do with how family friendly this show is, since I highly doubt the humans in the H2O universe come from the stork Australians don't have the same uptight sentiments toward that stuff like the US. Remember when Cleo told her dad to give Kim "The Talk" when she had a bunch of boys vying for her attention? Yeah. Everyone knows what kind of "talk" she was referring to XD

Personally I like that they haven't connected the 2 shows as of yet. It gives more freedom in the writing. Rikki is a regular on Dance Academy right now so I doubt she had time for cameos. As far as hating characters they are written that way. I mean clearly the point of "villains" or close to it style characters that is why they are written. Who would like Cruella DeVille ya know. Cam isn't a total villian its morethe smug look he does that irritates me. As for the pod and h2o... It can be explained many different ways from the pod being elsewhere to them just being invisible when the girls were there to even we were showed the merworld from the point of view of cleo emma and rikki not any other view.

One thing bugging me about the tails is the butts on the. Both Mixie's tail and Zac's seem like thery have way to much room in the rump. In the Dolphin tale episode and the 13th episode they show full profiles of them and there is like a 2-4 inch gap at the waist above the rear end as they swim. Weird looking.

[MerEmma]

I saw that Zac's was gapping (I'm thinking maybe as the season went on his bodyweight there changed) but I haven't noticed it with any of the girl's yet. It was CONSTANTLY like that in the old series so I am glad that at least it's better this time, even if only slightly. The gap was the main issue with the tails it seemed in the old series, every shot of Emma, Cleo and Rikki there was a gap.

Personally...I'm glad the characters have good and bad traits to them all. Lyla is really the main character I don't really like, but I think she's intended to have those little annoying things about her, haha. Same with Evie. I understand how Evie feels about Zac and Lyla as it goes on but in the beginning I think she's just being wayyy overbearing/jealous.

I noticed that tail gap over the bum, too, on Nyxie and Zach. It's distracting and surprising because I never saw that problem on the original series. Maybe they have a different FX crew on this one.

[MerEmma]

No, it's the same. JMBFX Studios, I'm sure.

DERP. It's the same studio anyway, MAYBE a different crew but tbh I think it's more just the fit of the tails. In H2O the tails start out fitting perfect but as it goes on they gap more.

[Jinx]

I didn't notice it but once in the first series. I think they changed the design too. The foot plate seems to be gone and replaced with a block of some sort. Since there are supposed to be a lot of tails as there is a pod of mermen later on from what I have seen I think they might have made the changes in construction due to having to make more tails. I know they said the scaling alone took 2 people over a week to scale each tail on the h2o tails. Also the scales on the tops seem to be gone and purely silicone not over acrylic scaling. I like the way Zac's tail is colored I like that everyone doesn't have that repetitive amber orange tone. The tails look a little shorter too. I think all the changes are only logistical for production time. Which is why the gapping above the rear could have been missed in the rush to finish up. Which they could have used the time they spent wasting on putting cgi fish in the water covering and fixing up the gap in the tails instead.

[MerEmma]

Really? I haven't really noticed any differences, but it seems like the tails are the same to me. I've seen scales on the tops, too. I dunno, I've been looking pretty close at the details and stuff (but maybe not as close as you). The tails seem to swim the same way imo, and look about the same.

CGI fish? o_O Where's that?

[Jinx]

They are the kind of fish dory from finding nemo was. Randomly put in around them as they are swimming around as mermaids. Always in the foreground.

[Jinx]

I also noticed the flukes aren't translucent like was the h2o tails were at the tips of the fins.

Arent they working with a lower budget? Look at the merpool, and the tails. Then look again at the old ones. They are doing the best they can with their budget and I appareciate that. The mertailsl are alittle bit different and abit of a lower quality but im okay with that.

[aWittleNoob]

I just made a signature! It's my first on MN. What do you think ^^!

[MermanJesse]

If they make a Splash remake, I can totally see the girl who plays Sirena as Madison! She just has that look!

[Jinx]

If they make a Splash remake, I can totally see the girl who plays Serena as Madison! She just has that look!

Your dead on there! That would be so awesome too.

I made a few posts on my page giving my takes of this series. One of the first things I noticed right off the bat was their acting ability. It needs some work. I felt like some of the lines were forced or misdirected. Here are the links from my page with the reviews I have given so far:

I'm thinking Netflix has funded this due to the popularity of H2O on the website.

I'm thinking Netflix has funded this due to the popularity of H2O on the website.

Well that started with a website, which is cool. Also Netflix has been kinda low in money, the price went up abit, and I think now they are trying to gain money by buying the rights to series. Lets say Nickteens buy the rights again for the show, or someone tries to out buy Nick. Since, they are very competitive and rude. Since Nick has always had it out for other companies, and doesn't like to give them screen time, including during the awards. First person to so much as buy the rights to air it on t.v will give Netflix a large amount of money. Lol. Netflix is stepping up in the world.
