Homesick for water.

(in my late 20's). I still like H2O just add water and ocean documentaries. This blog is for H2O stuff and any water/ocean posts I think are cool.

I can’t believe I never noticed this parallel before!!

So Emma is obviously mirroring young Ms. Chatham here. They share the same power, and are thematic counterparts. However, she stops before running into her, whereas the past self goes straight through/into Louise. This is symbolic of how Cleo, Emma and Rikki’s story is different from the og trio. This episode is the exact point where their stories diverge from eachother. The fight Louise, Gracie & Julia have is exactly the same as the modern trio, their words echo each other; “you’re underestimating him, the obnoxious stuff is an act most of the time” “friends don’t give each other ultimatums”. In the end, Karl betrays Julia, and the three end up drifting apart. Zane is clearly given the perfect opportunity to betray Rikki. He could prove to everyone he’s not crazy, earn his fathers approval/respect, become famous etc. yet he chooses not to.

Young Ms. Chatham walking into her current self is symbolic of the weight she still carries from that day. She will never get closure from her friends who have now passed, or from knowing why they were chosen to become mermaids. It’s an open wound with an ache she has made peace with over time. Emma will never have to experience that. In this scene, Ms. Chatham may be a metaphor for the older version of Emma. Since Emma stops short, it’s a visual representation of the differences between their stories, and the path Emma will not take.

Another small but notable difference- young Louise is walking away from her friends. Emma is walking with them. She even looks back towards them for support after Ms. Chatham asks about the locket. This contrast speaks volumes on their relationships.

Additionally, this is why I know the girls would not have split up, as m*ko m*rmaids attempts to make canon. But according to the ORIGINAL h2o lore, they would stay friends.

Guys... It's been 20 years since H2O came out and I only now noticed this easter egg... In the episode "Fish Out of Water" we see Cleo, Emma, Rikki and Zane going to the cinema.

All the posters on the walls are Jonathan M. Shiff's previous projects, including Wicked Science, Pirate Islands, Cybergirl and Thunderstone. This is so cute

finally I had the time to finish it. Introducing: the unofficial h2o recipe book! View it here.

It includes smoothie recipes from the juicenet, recipes for party foods, Ms. Chatham recipes and more, from all the seasons of h2o.

Hope you guys enjoy! Let me know if I missed any food from the series. I would love it to include everything from the show.

I was looking through the menus in the show as research for this project, and I found this reddit post about the catering service at Rikki's and it's such a funny easter egg.

The fact that Lisa's junior lifeguard certificate from when she was 12 says her name is Lisa Gilbert implies that Niel took her last name and that he is a simp, which is canonically logical
