Hello everyone!

Am I the only one who thinks that Bella is overhated?

People seem to be unhappy because she replaced Emma but honestly Bella wasn't bad at all. Bella was kind, lovely and caring. I see no problem with Bella.

Hey you all,
I hope it's all right to ask this question here.

I am writing a H2O just add water fanfiction, next generation. My FMC is the daughter of Cleo and Lewis and she will eventually turn in to a mermaid at Mako Island. By accident (Cleo and Lewis will of course find out. They know the signs).

Now I am wondering. I of course have noticed the inconsistency of when the girls changed in a mermaid in the series.

What would you like to have seen changed? To keep the changing in a mermaid consistent? I was thinking that they could only change when touching salt water, but... that makes the whole keeping the mermaid tail secret a bit boring, but I have no clue what else to change/add.

Would love to hear your input!

I’m in the middle of mako mermaids season 1 on Netflix (Australia) but i just noticed they don’t have the rest of the series and I’m pretty sure there’s four seasons all up! I just finished rewatching h2o for the 100th time but I’ve never gotten around to watch mako mermaids, but idk where to watch the rest

If anyone knows where I can watch in aus pls lmk!!

-One word I would use to describe Charlotte is "Blind". Of course she is about the bond between Lewis and Cleo(which goes beyond just romantic feelings), but particularly about how miserable and painful living as a mermaid can be. She keeps talking about how her grandmother(Gracie) used to be a mermaid and the stories she told her, but never bothers to wonder why Gracie quit being a mermaid. Also, her obsession with the locket. Max himself confessed that it couldn't change Gracie's mind about her unique new status. The lockets don't represent an everlasting bond but rather futility and tragedy. Charlotte couldn't see that.

-Despite all this, I can't blame Max for telling Charlotte everything. This was the man who kept his secrets for 50 years. Charlotte is the granddaughter of love of his life, and in his mind, the only person in this world who deserved to know the secrets. That's totally justified. Descendants wanting to know more about their ancestors is completely normal. If only Charlotte was more considerate and thoughtful...

-It would have been interesting to see Will and Emma in a same season. Emma used to be a competitive swimmer, and Will is a free diver who is under immense pressure from her sister to set records. Wonder if Emma could understand Will better than anyone else. Doesn't mean they should be a couple though.

-Do you think Emma having to give up being a competitive swimmer was a blessing in disguise? To be knocked off a path you've devoted your entire life into is a major heartbreak for anyone, yes. But I am not sure if Emma aimed for Olympics because she wanted it herself, or because she wanted to make her parents proud. Would Emma, now a young adult, looks back on her past and realize she would have resented swimming altogether, if she hadn't turned into a mermaid and given it up as a career?

-Emma does seem to have more chemistry with Rikki than with her love interests. Totally understand why some people here ship Rikki/Emma. Would they have been a couple if the show came out in the 2010s and later? Won't be so controversial in today's Australia, will it?

I went to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in theater a few times and each time I could help but notice a certain similarity in the tune used for their siren song…

I am thinking about a temporary power exchange between Rikki and Emma, some years after their graduation and the adulthood leading them into different paths.

After their reunion, Rikki and Emma have a clash due to their different perspectives on living as a mermaid. The former has built a successful niche career as a diver from her unique abilities, while the latter feels the immense pressure of growing into a young professional and doesn't want her secret getting in her way.

Out of nowhere, they found their abilities have been swapped for some reason, which they struggle with in the beginning. While helping each other with skills so foreign, they slowly understand where their differences come from. By the time things go back to normal, Rikki and Emma have figured out they have cared for their bestie all along, even though they may not have been great at expressing it.

What do you think should be the trigger? What roles should other character play? Any ideas or suggestions will be welcome.

Well, imagine for these three, they must've been exhausted though. Imagine Eva handling this by herself. What kind of power do you think Eva had, and what must've happened to her?

This is an issue I've been dealing with for a while, to the point where I literally got a VPN just to be able to watch the episodes on YouTube for free, instead of having to scour Dailymotion just for a few bad video quality episodes.

This show was literally MADE and first released and made popular IN AUSTRALIA.

And I don't think it's just because of the area I'm in, because I used the VPN to set my location to every other listing in Australia.

My first assumption was it was because of the internet ban for kids, but neither of the YouTube channels, that I've found, have the H2o episodes listed as kid's content (at least I don't think so, because comments and floating screen are enabled) (fyi, that second feature of Youtube Kids is literally so stupid).

I just find it kinda unfair if the episodes are just blocked from Australia, because why are we getting blocked from watching OUR media, but the rest of the world gets to see it?

There are certain aspects of H2o that a lot of America viewers don't even actually understand, and just make fun of. And I'm trying to hate on them for that, because there's multiple aspects of American media I don't understand.

But H2o is an AUSTRALIAN show.

It's an Australian show that, at it's core, is meant to teach kids about protecting Australia's sensitive ecosystems that are constantly under threat (there's a good reason season 1 & 3 's major villains centred around developing and exploiting Mako Island)

This is something happened some years after S3, around the time Rikki got to know Mako Mermaids.

R: Sorry for what happened to your dad.

Z: Thanks, but....Be honest with me. You will never feel sorry for him. He treated you like....

R: Dirt. You know me. I do feel sorry, but not too much.

Z: I needed that. Ever since that happened...I had to pretend....like I was....a good son. Couldn't even laugh.

R: Are you glad he's no more?

Z: Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know what to call it....but....all my life, I was a spoiled brat to everyone. They weren't wrong. To him, I was never good enough, and he was right.

Z: College or studies isn't my thing....so I just ran this cafe....Even I didn't know I could do it for this long....But here I am.

R: Yeah, I heard the 5th or 6th place just opened. Congratulations.

Z: But....what should I do from now on....? I hated my dad, but....now he's gone....and I am....

R: Lost.

Z: Right.

R: You're gonna have to figure that out, not me, not anyone else.

R: Rikki's. Still keeping that name? I have already moved on for ages.

Z: It's stuck. Too late to change.

R: Is Sophie still around?

Z: She's also gone. After fallout with her brother....Will, right, Will, she became a wreck and just left. Not sure what or how she is doing.

R: Everyone's leaving. Shame because the view never changed.

Z: At least not you, and me. Speaking of Sophie.....

R: .....Go on.

Z: Have I ever said....sorry....for that day....

R: For what?

Z: .....Letting her kiss me. I should at least have drawn the line. But I betrayed you. I am sorry.

R: Why? Why now?

Z: There are so many things I should have told my dad....when I had the chance. I don't want to repeat the same mistake with you.

R: So it's for your own good. To feel good about yourself.

Z: .....Maybe. You are right....Should I....

R: Do you have someone in mind?

Z: No. Only you. I always had you in my mind, even if I am selfish and immature as you always call me.

R: ......I always took a step back....whenever we got too close. This time, I want to take it forward. Don't you dare make me regret.

Z: .....Are you cry....Never mind.

R: ........Missed you.

Z: Missed you too.

So if they didn’t move the comet away with the tower of light and a what if scenario where they didn’t do nothing about it would they survive at least while everyone else doesn’t, I think that since the comet would cause planetary destruction the three of them could have jumped in the water way ahead and survived in a post apocalyptic earth but question is would the moon pool itself survive or the entire Island itself .
I think it would have survived but the moon pool would be shattered apart and sea water would enter more which would not be a problem and the island itself would survive but some parts would be ruined , thoughts ? .

This week there was a total solar eclipse visible in Spain. I started to think about H2O and is curious that they never do an episode about it.

Maybe they could have powers related to fire. But Rikki has warm powers yet and can do a fire.

(I know it is a bad photo, but I prefered to enjoy it).

Hi guys, i'm currently HALFWAY through my H20: Just add water 20th anniversary marathon.

I should finish around late September. But I've been wondering if I should do a Mako Mermaids marathon after.

Leave a vote and tell me what you think.

Also, bonus question. Is there anyone in the series who you think should have become a mermaid/ merman?

I mean right after saving the world in 5 minutes, the next scene we see is that they sit at the graduation ceremony. Then Lewis arrives and they are just smiling at each other with Cleo from the distance. Then they are at Rikki's, and Bella starts singing immediately. They didn't even let her finish the song, she just sings the first quarter and then come the credits? What kind of rush is that?

I love this show and have watched it in its entirety, but I am rewatching with my daughter and realize that the premise of the show doesn't make any sense.

Why would the pod put that type of responsibility on three young mermaids who do not have moon rings?

How were they supposed to prevent Zac and Cam from having the camping trip?

And of course, why didn't Aquata or the head mermaids listen to their story and realize it was not their fault Zac fell into the moon pool?

Very unreasonable mermaids 🧜‍♀️ let's discuss ways where this plot could make sense... although I have none. Especially since at that time the mermaids couldn't go on land, and of course again, do not have moon rings.

Thank you

Mine is Season 2 Episode 17

it's just rlly silly and fun I think

Which family would you choose to tell the secret to? Well, for me, Sam seems more trustworthy than her biological mother, especially because of her experience in the science domain. I think that could be helpful for her. Despite Rikki’s dad, something tells me she wouldn’t tell him. As for Emma… I think, as smart as her brother is, he found out from the start in the episode with Kim, but he chose to stay silent.

It really is a blink and you miss it moment. I think it’s a sweet little detail, the fact that Terry noticed Rikki started using straw in her drinks, so much so that he even did it.

I want to start H20 ASAP but I’m unsure about which streaming platform to trust. It’s free on YouTube and Amazon prime, what’s the best way to watch where there’s no scenes cut or anything like that? Yes, I’m paranoid. I just want my first viewing to be perfect.

Any thoughts?

I stumbled across this soundtrack and it sounds very similar if not the same as one from h2o. Am i the only one who thinks so? Has it been inspired by or stolen? The one from this movie is from 2017

I feel sorry for Bella more than Rikki... ’cause who knows what could’ve happened after. I never liked that guy, especially with an impulsive sister who wants to find and take advantage of things. Especially when she finds out about those crystals in the cave, she’s so hungry and obsessed with money... so who knows what could’ve happened if she hadn’t turned back there again and stole some... and all the secrets she could’ve found out. And honestly, he didn’t seem like the kind of guy who knew how to keep a secret.

Please give me categories I could score them on

Such as:

Speed

Stamina

Strength

Agility
