(Scene starts with a black screen with white text saying "A few weeks ago" before fading away to Rowdy's campsite in California as "Friends in low places" by Garth Brooks blares in the foreground before cutting to the inside of Rowdy's tent as Rowdy, Garfield, Perkins, Cecil and Sam are wearing hearing protection and Rowdy is pacing back and forth)
Rowdy:
THAT TEARS IT! I USE MY POWER TO REPLACE GARTH BROOKS WITH SOMETHING BETTER, HE BUYS MORE GARTH BROOKS TO REPLACE IT. NOW I'M GOING TO GO FIND THAT SOB, SMASH HIS STEREO AND EVERY SINGLE BIT OF HIS MUSIC TO SMITHEREENS! (Cut to the cats)

HE TOSSED OUT THE WARNINGS! NOW SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE ACTION! I DON'T WANT TO BUT SOMEONE HAS TO SPEAK FOR US WHO WANT PEACE AND QUIET! IT'S NOT LIKE I'M ASKING FOR A MIRACLE TO FALL OUT OF THE SKY! (A Scream from far away is heard and a ground shaking explosion is heard ending "Friends in low places" instantly before cutting to Rowdy as he steps outside of the tent and looks around and sees the site with the redneck that blared "Friends in low places" is nothing but a crater as Rowdy looks up) It's not like I'm expecting Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch to be half naked and fall out of the sky wanting me!! (Cut to the crater as a hand pops out and Steve Kidd comes out gasping for air as Rowdy finds Steve and picks him up) Steve! How did you survive that?

Steve Kidd (Slightly out of it):
No! Go on without me! The needs of the many outweigh APPA! (Steve Kidd collapses before cutting to later on as Steve Kidd has cleaned up and told Rowdy the whole story and Rowdy comes in with a couple of drinks.)

That's what's happened! I got blasted by James' lady friend when she started to get used to her powers and I've been hoping I could fix the mess between her and James.

And then things would've been worse, look James kept me apprised of the events, so listen to me when I say this, GO HOME! You're not helping James. If James asked you to leave well enough alone, it could be that James had a reason!

Chai:
Take me to him! (Cut to a very confused Rowdy)
Rowdy:
If you want Steve because he said or did something stupid to you need to get in line, it's right next to the line of people with Pitchforks and Torches that want to roast me for so much crap I did on TV Trash! (Cut to Chai)
Chai:
You know who I am talking about! (Cut to Rowdy as Steve Kidd hobbles out of the tent)
Steve Kidd:

Steve Kidd:
No, I know who he is and what he wants and he'll have to kill us before we spill about (Rowdy's Cell Phone goes off) Dude, I still can't believe that you have that as your ring tone !

Chai (voiced by Rowdy):

I've got to head back, have Jeannie get me back to James before he can!

I didn't hate "H2O: Just Add Water" or "Mako Mermaids", I made it clear when I talked about the series last summer in the retrospective. There was a lot to like. Some of it was just straight up fun and some of it was very thought provoking and entertaining. There were enjoyable episodes in both series and since I might as well talk about some of my favorite episodes. Five from "H2O" and Five from "Mako" and as is the way with these lists the spoilers will happen. (A knocking sound is heard before cutting to James in his ride before looking at the rear mirror to see Chai charges up a massive water ball before cutting to James)

THESE ARE THE TOP TEN EPISODES OF "H2O: JUST ADD WATER" & "MAKO MERMAIDS"! (Cut to shots of three teenage girls from "H2O: Just Add water" as they dive into the water as the scene changes to the Moon Pool on Mako Island as the three teenage girls come up as mermaids before cutting to three teenage mermaids and Zac Blakely falling into the Moon Pool from "Mako Mermaids" before cutting to Zac Blakely of "Mako Mermaids" in his merman form before cutting to clips from both series before cutting to an image of an island and a pod of mermaids outside of Mako Island as it cuts to James in a lounge chair and the words "Top Ten H2O:Just Add Water/Mako Mermaids Episodes" while the theme songs from both series play in the foreground before the words fade and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover): Number ten
(Cut to clips of "Fish Fever as James does a voiceover)
10) Fish Fever from season 2 of "H2O: Just Add Water"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
TLOTA (Voiceover):
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Expanding the mythos of the Island this two parter showed an earlier point in time when a group of three girls much like Rikki, Emma and Cleo, one of whom is named Gracie and another one who tried to be a mentor to Rikki, Emma and Cleo during her tenure on the show and it turns out Gracie is Charlotte's Grandmother. So now the three are now out to find out how much Charlotte knows as well as kickstart Charlotte's development into high gear because for the most part she was a minor character and led her to become the character she did by the end of the season.
TLOTA (Voiceover):
5) Reunion & A New Man from season 2 of Mako Mermaids
TLOTA (Voiceover):
In these two episodes everything changed for Zac. First off while trying to further learn about the merman chamber on the Island, A secret is revealed. (Cut to clip where Zac learns about his true familiar bonds between him and Mimmi and who his biological mother before continuing on with the rest of the clips) WOW! How does one cope with that? Do they give into their primal aggression? Do they try to forget their past? How does someone get over the fact their whole life was in essence a lie? Well as "A New Man" showed Zac was trying to figure out who he is. Is he the threat the pod fears? Is he the guy he was before he got his tail and powers? Well for Zac it'd be easier if he didn't have these trolls that taunted him about not being a part of the junior lifeguard force but before Zac does give into the dark side his sister and Evie remind him that he is not any of the negative things everyone has been saying about him. In fact by the end of "A New Man" Zac is just that, A new man, he has made peace with himself, he knows he's not the threat the pod should worry about, he's not a monster. At the end of the day, He's Zac Blakely and at the end of the day, that is who he should be and he'll prove that being Zac is the best thing he can be.
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number four
(Cut to clips of "Metamorphosis" as James does a voiceover)
4) Metamorphosis from "H2O: Just Add Water Season 1"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
What can be said that hasn't been said. It kickstarted an entire universe. It was a career starter for both Claire Holt & Phoebe Tonkin. It was the first show I saw through streaming services. This is just amazing. They had to introduce the characters that would go through the most and least development and start a mythos and see if it would work. Surprisingly with everything it had going for it, the series could've failed miserably but it succeeded and the proof is in how a concept this ridiculous could work. An amazing world starter short of a Big Bang! (Cut to the intro of "The Big Bang Theory" before the mid-point as James shouts "GOD NO! NOT THAT BIG BANG!" before cutting to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number three
(Cut to clips of "Meeting Rita" as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number two
2) "Unfathomable" from "H2O: Just Add Water" Season Two
TLOTA (Voiceover):
This is where Rikki, Emma and Cleo stepped up, learned from their predecessors and made Charlotte understand who the true Alpha Females on the Island are and she ain't it! While the season built the history of the island as well as the advancement of the powers of Rikki, Emma and Cleo, it also showed that they're willing to do what is necessary to stop anyone or anything to protect the island and those who would do harm to it. Also it was nice to see Emma open up that she is a mermaid to Ash and to be honest, I understand what this series means to everyone and how impressive the series is.
TLOTA (Voiceover): And the number one episode IS...
1)The Trident Stone and The Chosen One from Mako Mermaids Season 2
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Say what you want about these two episodes but to me this is where everything was wrapped up and where the series SHOULD'VE ended. Great Character development, great story telling and great action. We see how after two seasons how everyone had grown and matured. Cam played by Dominic Deutcher had developed enough of a loyalty to Zac and the Mermaids to return the trident stone to the mermaids and enough of a relationship with Carly played by Brooke Lee as to when she discovered their secret a few episodes prior to try and stop Erik played by Alex Cubis. Plus the fact Evie was able avoiding whatever magic that was draining the life out of every other mermaid was something interesting and the fact she helped Zac stop Erik once and for all and helped the pod return to Mako Island was so awesome she received a moon ring and honorary membership into the pod. Not a bad way to end this list all things considered (Cut to clips of both series as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
If you're wondering about what I think of both series in full honesty just find "My Mako Adventure: Just Add Water" and you'll get all my honesty on both series. Also if I missed one of your favorite episodes then let me have it in the comment section below.
Chai Hansen (Voiceover):
Bad choice of words there mate, but if you insist, I'll let you have it!
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Huh? (Cut to an overhead shot of the volcano on Mako Island as a thunderous upper cut is heard as is a scream as a small image of James which becomes bigger as he comes flying out of the opening of the volcano before cutting to a close-up of James' face as a hand touches James' face)
Julia Alexa Miller (Audio only):
James you can relax now! (Cut to Julia Alexa Miller as he holds James in mid air and then helping James gently land on his feet.)
TLOTA:
Alex, I'm always glad to see you, but right now is not a good time.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Why?(A whoosh is heard as Chai flips over James and Julia Alexa Miller landing over the two before cutting back to a slightly dampened James and Julia Alexa Miller.) I take it, that's why!
TLOTA:
Yep! (Cut to Chai Hansen)
Chai Hansen:
You better leave here unless you want to share his fate. (Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller as Julia Alexa Miller's eyes turn white.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
I've been learning how to control what happened to me all summer long. Now would be the wrong time to get on my bad side! (Cut to Chai as he prepares a water ball before cutting to Julia Alexa Miller as she throws an energy wave that knocks Chai into the main lobby before cutting to James as he makes a mad dash getting Emmalina's Amulet before cutting to Chai and Julia Alexa Miller's battle spilling out into the driveway as Julia Alexa Miller gets knocked into James before cutting to Chai as he prepares the biggest Water ball ever before cutting to James and Julia Alexa Miller as he hands her Emmalina's Amulet)
Chai (Audio only):
Prepare to go as you called it "The Immortal Sea"! (Julia Alexa Miller speaks in an unknown tongue as light encapsulates her before seeing the Water Ball disintegrate into harmless steam before cutting to a realm of pure light as James, Chai and Julia Alexa Miller reside.)
A Voice (Off screen performed by Julia Alexa Miller):
You all made it.
Chai Hansen:
Who said that?
TLOTA:
I know who, Emmalina is that you? (Cut to dust as it takes form of Emmalina played by Julia Alexa Miller)
Emmalina:
About time you came back James. (Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller)
TLOTA:
What can I say, if I was gonna do something right, I take the time. (Julia Alexa Miller comes face to face with Emmalina and touches her to see that she is real as "Trenzalore" by Murray Gold plays in the foreground)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Do you know what I had to do to stop myself from thinking I was insane? I tried meditation, I tried to push the moment out of my mind, I did every healthy thing possible short of being committed in hopes of trying to figure out if you or I were in the driver's seat. (Cut to Emmalina)
Emmalina:
You were always in the driver's seat as it were, I just passed on everything that I had been, all that I would've been and anything that I could've been onto you. It's up to you how you control it.
TLOTA:
Wait, by "everything" you mean... (James does an undulation motion before cutting to Emmalina)
Emmalina:
That too.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Wait does this (Repeats James' undulation motion) mean what I think it does.
Emmalina:
It's up to you if and when you want it happen or not.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Oh Fantastic! Absolutely Fantastic, anything else you want to throw my way?
Emmalina:
Knowledge. Knowledge of what you can do and what you will be able to do.
Julia Alexa Miller:
What about James and our current situation.
Emmalina:
That is something he must decide upon returning. Now as for you... (Cuts to Chai as he looks around then points at himself and says "Me?" before cutting back to Emmalina) Yes, you. It's time for you to learn where James comes from with his thoughts and how you dishonored everything you worked for. (Emmalina walks over to Chai and speaks a foreign tongue and Chai's eyes turn white before his head shakes seeing normally)
Chai:
Oh WOW, James I now realized, I'm sorry.
TLOTA:
I know.
Chai:
But I have to ask Why did you compare me to Tommy Wiseau and Keanu Reeves?
TLOTA:
Wait, that was this whole rigmarole was about? I said that whole "Tommy Wiseau" bit as a joke as to where he called Zac up to be Johnny in a remake of The Room because Zac's face didn't show the concern or shock anyone else would've. As for the Keanu Reeves remark, take it as a compliment. The dude ages like Fine wine like his acting.
Chai:
I guess after hearing that, everything you said sounds better. Apologies?
TLOTA:
We're good! (The Two shake hands before cutting to Emmalina as "Infinite Possibilities" play in the foreground as the dimension starts to become unstable) What's going on?
Emmalina:
The time has come for you to move on and know things will be better for everyone. Especially you James. I will love you but you must move on. Farewell James (Cut to Emmalina disintegrates as James cries before Julia Alexa Miller walks over to him.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
It's not farewell, it's just, "I'm Moving On"
(The two embrace romantically as a bright lights breaks the barrier as it cuts to the interior of James' main lobby.) The lobby, How? What? (Cut to an off screen voice saying "Jail" before cutting to the interior door to the see the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
All right, you're all under arrest on... (Audio of a group of People shouting "SHUT UP!" before cutting to the back door to the prop room as every Power Ranger and Steve Kidd appear.)
Steve Kidd:
Okay Chai! Get ready to suffer a worse fate than being in "Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments" (Cut to Chai, James and Julia Alexa Miller)
TLOTA:
Steve, things between me and Chai are cool now. (Cut to the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
Well now we can add bringing in the Power Rangers to the ever growing list of charges we'll be arresting you on. (Cut to the Power Rangers and Steve Kidd)
Steve Kidd:
Coming from the Ocean Equivalent of The Three Stooges? You three sea slugs couldn't find the Dead Sea on a map! (Everyone starts arguing for a good minute before Julia Alexa Miller shouts a ground shaking "ENOUGH!" as it cuts to the Power Rangers and Steve Kidd starting to get back on their feet and Julia walks to them)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Look, if James does a mini-review of your 25th anniversary special will that make up for Steve's mistake?
The Power Rangers (In Unison):
Okay.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Good, Steve stay there. Rangers, head on out through the secondary exit way. (The Power Rangers run out before cutting to the Sea Cops.) Let the objection of your fear become real as I summon the image to appear! (A blast of light flashes as the Sea Cops take a step back)
Chief Splurt:
Holy Carp! It's Commissioner Claw! (Cut to Chai, James, Julia and Steve looking around before cutting back to the Sea Cops) Right next to the girl who said that rhyme? (Cut to Chai, James, Julia and Steve as James and Steve go behind to confer as Julia shows James that it's Steve before cutting back to the Sea Cops) Alright let's make this arrest look the best. (Cut to Steve as he walks towards the Sea Cops)
Steve Kidd:
YOU THREE MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDERHEADS! (Steve smacks Chief Splurt) WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Chief Splurt:
What does it look like Commissioner? We're arresting these humans on a list of charges including using Mer-Magic without a permit! (Steve Kidd gut punches then punches Chief Splurt to straighten him out.)
Steve Kidd:
I OUGHT TO TAKE YOU IN FOR IMPERSONATION OF REAL SEA COPS YOU SEA TURTLE HEADS! (Steve slaps all three Sea Cops) DIDN'T YOU KNOW I DEPUTIZED THEM AND BEATRICE BISCANIAN TO HELP IN THE RESCUE OF MADISON AND VALERIE NEPSHANK AS WELL AS WILL HAUSER AND HIS ASSOCIATES?! (Steve makes a fist and smacks it in a circular motion and clocks Chief Splurt in the noggin)
Chief Splurt:
Well now we do, the hard way. Is there anything we can do to make this up?
Steve Kidd:
Yes there is, you three void all arrests in association in this case with the exception of one Ronan the Selkie, Jed and Will Hauser's father and if you're lucky I WON'T BUST YOU SO FAR DOWN YOU'LL BE DOING UNDERSEA METER MERMAID DUTY FOR THE REST OF YOUR TIME IN SERVICE OF THE FORCE! (Steve Kidd Eye pokes Chief Splurt, Ratchet twists the ears on the Sea Cop on his left and nose smacks the Sea Cop on the right) NOW GET OUT OF HERE! (Cut to the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
You heard him! Let's get out of here! (All three whoop-whoop like Zoidberg and Curly before cutting to Chai, James and Julia)
TLOTA:
Can you believe that it's just an ordinary Tuesday here? (Cut to black before fading to later as James helps everyone head on out except Olivia Horvath who waits for James in his office.)
TLOTA:
Hey Liv, what's up? (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she looks at some of James's photos of his past.)
Olivia Horvath:
Ever since that premiere I've been seeing things I never thought I'd see. (Cut to James)
TLOTA:
Including seeing Lea Michele one more time. It felt odd. (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she walks towards James)
Olivia Horvath:
That's something I need to talk about. When I bumped into her, I saw things I never saw. So tell me, what happened and why did you what you did and I want the truth.
TLOTA:
The Truth is when I met her, it was just after Cory Monteith passed away a friend of mine named Ed. Not the Ed we know got me into contacting her. I gave her my motto of "Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down" and then we talked like friends and we met just as Nash, Linkara and Film Brain wanted my copy of "The Death Of The Incredible Hulk" for a review. Me and Lea Joined her. She asked me and Rowdy to join her in a Karaoke Party on Halloween, then came the moment I lost my past and had to deal with demons inside. She helped me through it. I soon got this Studio thanks to Rebecca and her .Real Estate magic, then came the moment I had to do something that remains a scar that'll never heal. 2015 remains the roughest year of my existence. I was doing reviews, not worrying about a thing when one of three events happened I'll never be sure one event was caused when some of Rowdy's dimensional tech went screwy and I sent John, Mike, Renee and Eric down to Texas to assist to fix and Find Rowdy only to have the Government shut me down and then in a few years time it's Judgement Day "X-Men Days Of Future Past" Style and for the Nostalgia Critic (SPITS) to wind up in Hyper Fan Girl-Boner to let us know before the Government shuts me down and destroys the studio and there's this Paradox Rift threatening all of reality. Over the past few years it has receded so it won't cause any damage but the cost was some pretty big moments in history. I had to stop a moment in which I did what I had to do to save three lives. Emmalina's, Mary Queen Of Scots and Lea Michele's and it cost me so much in return. That opening night, Lea said something that shook me to the core. (Cut back to the Opening night as James and Lea hug)
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I remember it all James, all the memories of you and I. I'll never forget you ever again.
TLOTA (Whispering):
I never forgot. I never stopped loving you.
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I finally got someone as amazing as you. How about you?
TLOTA (Whispering):
I'm on my way, I can feel it.
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I hope you find her and make her as happy as I was when I was with you. I love you James, now we must move on. Goodbye. (Lea Michele walks away)
TLOTA (Whispering):
Goodbye (Cut back to James and Olivia Horvath)
Olivia Horvath:
So it was more than simply "Break A Leg". Look James, you've been putting so much on yourself. You move on. Move past Emmalina, Move past Lea Michele and see what you have in front of you right now and don't screw it up.
TLOTA:
Thanks for the advice. (James and Olivia Hug) Thanks for being such an amazing friend especially for this long.
Olivia Horvath:
Just remember what I said. See you next month?
TLOTA:
Yeah, sure and take Steve with you! (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she walks away)
Olivia Horvath:
You got it James! STEVE! (Olivia walks out the door just as Julia Alexa Miller walks in.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Hey James, I figure I'd give you something to review this October. (Julia Alexa Miller places the YouTube Page for "WitchHaven" on James' desk)
TLOTA:
Thanks
Julia Alexa Miller:
Before I forget, I wanted to... (James puts his hand up just as Julia Alexa Miller is about to take off Emmalina's Amulet )
TLOTA:
Keep it. As a matter of fact there's something I've been meaning to tell you. (James pulls out his morpher and takes out his card, De-Morphing back to James Faraci and Deliberate Thought by Kevin MacLeod plays in the foreground)
James Faraci:
Alex, I've never had the best luck in women or anything in that matter. Always one thing or another but not this time. When I saw you for the first time, I had an interest that was personal, more than my normal standards.
Julia Alexa Miller:
I don't understand, James are you saying what I think you are?
James Faraci:
Yes, I am. Julia Alexa Miller I...(Julia Alexa Miller puts her hand over James' lips)
Julia Alexa Miller:
I already knew, just by the look in your eyes and I feel the same way. (Julia puts her hand down and James kisses Julia on the lips romantically)
James Faraci:
Thank you for being the best thing to happen to me, Julia Alexa Miller.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Thank you for being you James Benjamin Faraci. (The two continue to kiss as it fades to black)
THESE ARE THE TOP TEN EPISODES OF "H2O: JUST ADD WATER" & "MAKO MERMAIDS"! (Cut to shots of three teenage girls from "H2O: Just Add water" as they dive into the water as the scene changes to the Moon Pool on Mako Island as the three teenage girls come up as mermaids before cutting to three teenage mermaids and Zac Blakely falling into the Moon Pool from "Mako Mermaids" before cutting to Zac Blakely of "Mako Mermaids" in his merman form before cutting to clips from both series before cutting to an image of an island and a pod of mermaids outside of Mako Island as it cuts to James in a lounge chair and the words "Top Ten H2O:Just Add Water/Mako Mermaids Episodes" while the theme songs from both series play in the foreground before the words fade and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover): Number ten
(Cut to clips of "Fish Fever as James does a voiceover)
10) Fish Fever from season 2 of "H2O: Just Add Water"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
What can I say this was just one of those fun episodes that I enjoy as a Guilty Pleasure. Emma played by Claire Holt cuts her finger on a strange type of coral which also affects the fish owned by Cleo played by Phoebe Tonkin and it's up to Lewis played by Angus McLaren to come up with the cure for what was happening to both Cleo's fish and Emma. What I liked about it was how Claire Holt as it was affecting her more and more how more fish like her character became almost as if Claire was method acting and if that was the case then She deserves the career she's had. However what dragged the episode was when Charlotte played by Brittany Byrnes started to show signs of the Jealousy that'd cost her a lot by the end of the second season. But we'll get into it later on this list.

9) "Betrayal" from season one of "Mako Mermaids"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
With another full moon arriving Zac played by Chai Hansen continues his journey to the trident. In the midst of his attempts to do so Nixie played by Ivy Latimer allows the moon to hit Zac upsetting Sirena played by Amy Ruffle and Lyla played by Lucy Fry. But just as upsetting for Zac was him discovering that his Principal's nieces are in fact Mermaids and believing they're out to stop him and or do worse. This episode was the one every fan saw coming but not in the way they thought it would end. What made this episode amazing the pacing, knowing that eventually the truth would come out and when it did, the results were not good by any means. But this would be where Zac's journey would be changed for the first time.

8) The Gracie Code Parts One and Two from season two of "H2O: Just Add Water"
(Cut to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Expanding the mythos of the Island this two parter showed an earlier point in time when a group of three girls much like Rikki, Emma and Cleo, one of whom is named Gracie and another one who tried to be a mentor to Rikki, Emma and Cleo during her tenure on the show and it turns out Gracie is Charlotte's Grandmother. So now the three are now out to find out how much Charlotte knows as well as kickstart Charlotte's development into high gear because for the most part she was a minor character and led her to become the character she did by the end of the season.
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number Seven
(Cut to clips of "The Trident Job" as James does a voiceover)
7) "The Trident Job" from Mako Mermaids Season One
TLOTA (Voiceover):
This was just an amazing episode. As Zac and Cam take an opportunity to get the trident it just so happens to fall on Halloween and as the two are going to a party that's being hosted by Evie played by Gemma Forsyth and Nixie, Lyla and Sirena are going there to help serve food and keep an eye on Zac. In what can be considered "Oceans Eleven" levels of con-artistry does Zac get the Trident but he also fools the tails off of the mermaids. The reason it's on this list is because of the great way it was able to show Zac being able to outwit those he considered to be against him and with the trident in play the situation has gotten worse for the three.

Number six
(Cut to clips of "A Date With Destiny" and "Graduation" as James does a voiceover)
6) "A Date With Destiny" and "Graduation" from "H2O: Just Add Water" season 3
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Season 3 of "H2O: Just Add Water" has a reputation of being the most haphazardly written but all things considered these two episodes weren't the worst but as a finale to this franchise, I think it did it justice. While I would've liked to see Emma played by Claire Holt return to help but she was busy and I understand. A comet is about to hit the Island destroying it and subsequently the world and it is up to these three mermaids with their powers to charge the moon pool to stop the comet of course. What put this one on the list was seeing how far Cleo played by Phoebe Tonkin and Rikki played by Cariba Heine came from in the pilot. This is what happens when you allow the chance to see where they have grown into. These two episodes remain the best of season three and possibly some of the best of the series.

TLOTA (Audio only):
Damn that guy is tenacious! (Cut to James as he exits the vehicle as it cuts to the produce department where in the background a guy played by Steve Kidd is enjoying the cabbage section a little too much as James runs past he stops, walks back, looks and tries to shake the image out of his head and then runs as Chai comes in there sees the guy enjoying the cabbage and his eyes bug out of his head as it cuts to James as he confronts Chai in the bottled water department)
TLOTA:
Okay you Maori Keanu Reeves try some of my water bending! (James starts to chuck every bottle of water at Chai as he pulls the water out of the bottles before cutting to James) OH CANADA! (Cut to the Cabbage guy fondling a head and nearing orgasm as he sniffs one as a very loud scream by James is heard just as the Cabbage guy sees and grabs as many cabbages as he can before running for his life and James demolishes the Cabbage section)
Cabbage guy (Played by Steve Kidd):
MY CABBAGES! This place is worse than the Whole Foods! (Cut to James as he shatters a hole through his site, through Manic-Expression.com and several other sites before being stopped by Deadpool in the middle of a video)
TLOTA:
Thanks Deadpool! (James turns around as he inspects the damage and sees a very pissed off Chai coming his way before cutting to James and Deadpool)
Deadpool:
He looks PISSED! Good luck pal! I'm outta here! (Deadpool runs away quickly as James looks at the video he lands in and sees the title of it being the first episode of Season 4 of "Life As A Mermaid")
TLOTA:
Really great episode. (Audio of Beatrice and Will in the background as James bumps into Will played by Nick Slimmer and Beatrice played by Fleur Zanna)
Will:
Hi there you wouldn't have happened to see a Seashell with a mirror on the bottom of it?
TLOTA:
I think it's over there. (The three look to James' right.)
Beatrice:
Oh yeah, there it is. (The three grab it as the message starts to play as the sea cops be their incompetent selves.)
TLOTA:
Oh Goodie, you three!
Chief Splurt:
You've got something to say human?
TLOTA:
No, but it seems to me, you three seem to have your usual lack of wits about you.
Chief Splurt:
What exactly are you saying?
TLOTA:
I'm saying you three stooges couldn't find the Atlantic Ocean, IF YOU FELL OUT OF A BOAT 12 NAUTICAL MILES OUTSIDE OF THE NEW YORK HARBOR! (The Sea Cops and James argue for a good half minute when a water ball tosses the four of them as the Mirror lands in Will's hands!)
Will:
Time for me to run?
Beatrice:
I would if I were in your shoes! (Will runs off as "Black Monolith" by Shockwave Sound plays in the foreground as it cuts to a very angry Chai before cutting to James and the Sea Cops)
TLOTA:
He's using Mer-Magic without a permit! That's a biggie!
Chief Splurt:
You stay here, We'll arrest you later. Let's get 'em! (The Sea cops run off and get beaten DOWN off screen as James opens up his morpher and puts in a code)
TLOTA:
Thank goodness I updated this sucker! (James Closes the morpher) BATTLE MODE! (James morphs into his Battle mode featuring The Ring Of Aeon, The Sword Of Caliverti and The Gem from The Gauntlet "Malachite's Hand" as he deflects shot after shot with the Ring and Gem before pulling out the sword absorbing the magic from the trident.)
Beatrice:
Excuse me but if you take on too much you'll destroy yourself.
TLOTA:
Not if I redirect the magic to hit on the commercial tab after he's out of power. (James absorbs the last drop of magic from the trident as Chai lands on his backside, James aims for the commercial tab) HIT THE DIRT! (The sword hits the commercial tab before fading to black before cutting to the continuance point after the commercial as it shows Will having just come back as Nat, Liam and Stanley ask their questions and Will answers them before a splash is heard.)
Nat:
What The Hell?
Liam:
Was that? (Cut to Chai as he emerges from the water before cutting to Nat, Liam and Stanley)
Stanley:
Hi, How can we help? (Cut to Chai as he emerges from the water and walks up to Will)
Chai:
You wouldn't happen to seen a guy with an American flag shirt, about (describes James height) Yea Tall? (Cut to the others as they nod as to say no before cutting back to Chai as he stands next to Will) Really because those footprints over there look like the soles of James' boots. Which means he's over there! (Chai runs in that direction before we see James disengage a stealth mode that he was in and James running to the hole in the video he made running while going through several different sites including one that claims to be "Awesome" as James alleviates himself on said site as someone called a "Critic" cries about drowning in piss before James continues to run eventually running towards Chai again when he looks and sees that he's arrived earlier in the review before running away from the review again and into an Instagram photo where he disguises himself as part of the scenery as Chai runs past the pic before cutting to James as takes off his disguise)

Okay, let's get through this quickly! NUMBER FIVE!
(Cut to James in a lounge chair and the number appears before cutting to clips of "Reunion" & "A New Man" as James does a voiceover)
5) Reunion & A New Man from season 2 of Mako Mermaids
TLOTA (Voiceover):
In these two episodes everything changed for Zac. First off while trying to further learn about the merman chamber on the Island, A secret is revealed. (Cut to clip where Zac learns about his true familiar bonds between him and Mimmi and who his biological mother before continuing on with the rest of the clips) WOW! How does one cope with that? Do they give into their primal aggression? Do they try to forget their past? How does someone get over the fact their whole life was in essence a lie? Well as "A New Man" showed Zac was trying to figure out who he is. Is he the threat the pod fears? Is he the guy he was before he got his tail and powers? Well for Zac it'd be easier if he didn't have these trolls that taunted him about not being a part of the junior lifeguard force but before Zac does give into the dark side his sister and Evie remind him that he is not any of the negative things everyone has been saying about him. In fact by the end of "A New Man" Zac is just that, A new man, he has made peace with himself, he knows he's not the threat the pod should worry about, he's not a monster. At the end of the day, He's Zac Blakely and at the end of the day, that is who he should be and he'll prove that being Zac is the best thing he can be.
(Cut to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)

Number four
(Cut to clips of "Metamorphosis" as James does a voiceover)
4) Metamorphosis from "H2O: Just Add Water Season 1"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
What can be said that hasn't been said. It kickstarted an entire universe. It was a career starter for both Claire Holt & Phoebe Tonkin. It was the first show I saw through streaming services. This is just amazing. They had to introduce the characters that would go through the most and least development and start a mythos and see if it would work. Surprisingly with everything it had going for it, the series could've failed miserably but it succeeded and the proof is in how a concept this ridiculous could work. An amazing world starter short of a Big Bang! (Cut to the intro of "The Big Bang Theory" before the mid-point as James shouts "GOD NO! NOT THAT BIG BANG!" before cutting to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number three
(Cut to clips of "Meeting Rita" as James does a voiceover)
3) "Meeting Rita" from Season One of "Mako Mermaids"
TLOTA (Voiceover):
To Me, this episode was essential, it gave our heroines a reluctant mentor who we learn left the pod when she fell in love with a human who sadly died before Rita and her fiancée could make it down the aisle. Plus this gave Nixie, Lyla and Sirena a base to work out of to get rid of Zac's tail and powers as well as a place for Nixie, Lyla and Sirena to learn how to harness their powers from Rita whether she wanted them in her life or not! Thankfully as the first season goes on we see her warm up to the three eventually Rita considers them her family and vice versa. This was what made "Mako Mermaids" a step up from it's predecessor. Someone who knows what certain things are like in a world they know little of and a friendly ear to hear them and give the right advice to them. So in a way this was so good it is essential.
TLOTA (Voiceover):
To Me, this episode was essential, it gave our heroines a reluctant mentor who we learn left the pod when she fell in love with a human who sadly died before Rita and her fiancée could make it down the aisle.

(Cut to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Number two
2) "Unfathomable" from "H2O: Just Add Water" Season Two
TLOTA (Voiceover):
This is where Rikki, Emma and Cleo stepped up, learned from their predecessors and made Charlotte understand who the true Alpha Females on the Island are and she ain't it! While the season built the history of the island as well as the advancement of the powers of Rikki, Emma and Cleo, it also showed that they're willing to do what is necessary to stop anyone or anything to protect the island and those who would do harm to it. Also it was nice to see Emma open up that she is a mermaid to Ash and to be honest, I understand what this series means to everyone and how impressive the series is.
(Cut to James in a lounge chair and the number appears as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover): And the number one episode IS...
1)The Trident Stone and The Chosen One from Mako Mermaids Season 2
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Say what you want about these two episodes but to me this is where everything was wrapped up and where the series SHOULD'VE ended. Great Character development, great story telling and great action. We see how after two seasons how everyone had grown and matured. Cam played by Dominic Deutcher had developed enough of a loyalty to Zac and the Mermaids to return the trident stone to the mermaids and enough of a relationship with Carly played by Brooke Lee as to when she discovered their secret a few episodes prior to try and stop Erik played by Alex Cubis. Plus the fact Evie was able avoiding whatever magic that was draining the life out of every other mermaid was something interesting and the fact she helped Zac stop Erik once and for all and helped the pod return to Mako Island was so awesome she received a moon ring and honorary membership into the pod. Not a bad way to end this list all things considered (Cut to clips of both series as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
If you're wondering about what I think of both series in full honesty just find "My Mako Adventure: Just Add Water" and you'll get all my honesty on both series. Also if I missed one of your favorite episodes then let me have it in the comment section below.
Chai Hansen (Voiceover):
Bad choice of words there mate, but if you insist, I'll let you have it!
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Huh? (Cut to an overhead shot of the volcano on Mako Island as a thunderous upper cut is heard as is a scream as a small image of James which becomes bigger as he comes flying out of the opening of the volcano before cutting to a close-up of James' face as a hand touches James' face)
Julia Alexa Miller (Audio only):
James you can relax now! (Cut to Julia Alexa Miller as he holds James in mid air and then helping James gently land on his feet.)
TLOTA:
Alex, I'm always glad to see you, but right now is not a good time.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Why?(A whoosh is heard as Chai flips over James and Julia Alexa Miller landing over the two before cutting back to a slightly dampened James and Julia Alexa Miller.) I take it, that's why!
TLOTA:
Yep! (Cut to Chai Hansen)
Chai Hansen:
You better leave here unless you want to share his fate. (Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller as Julia Alexa Miller's eyes turn white.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
I've been learning how to control what happened to me all summer long. Now would be the wrong time to get on my bad side! (Cut to Chai as he prepares a water ball before cutting to Julia Alexa Miller as she throws an energy wave that knocks Chai into the main lobby before cutting to James as he makes a mad dash getting Emmalina's Amulet before cutting to Chai and Julia Alexa Miller's battle spilling out into the driveway as Julia Alexa Miller gets knocked into James before cutting to Chai as he prepares the biggest Water ball ever before cutting to James and Julia Alexa Miller as he hands her Emmalina's Amulet)
Chai (Audio only):
Prepare to go as you called it "The Immortal Sea"! (Julia Alexa Miller speaks in an unknown tongue as light encapsulates her before seeing the Water Ball disintegrate into harmless steam before cutting to a realm of pure light as James, Chai and Julia Alexa Miller reside.)
A Voice (Off screen performed by Julia Alexa Miller):
You all made it.
Chai Hansen:
Who said that?
TLOTA:
I know who, Emmalina is that you? (Cut to dust as it takes form of Emmalina played by Julia Alexa Miller)
Emmalina:
About time you came back James. (Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller)
TLOTA:
What can I say, if I was gonna do something right, I take the time. (Julia Alexa Miller comes face to face with Emmalina and touches her to see that she is real as "Trenzalore" by Murray Gold plays in the foreground)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Do you know what I had to do to stop myself from thinking I was insane? I tried meditation, I tried to push the moment out of my mind, I did every healthy thing possible short of being committed in hopes of trying to figure out if you or I were in the driver's seat. (Cut to Emmalina)
Emmalina:
You were always in the driver's seat as it were, I just passed on everything that I had been, all that I would've been and anything that I could've been onto you. It's up to you how you control it.
TLOTA:
Wait, by "everything" you mean... (James does an undulation motion before cutting to Emmalina)
Emmalina:
That too.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Wait does this (Repeats James' undulation motion) mean what I think it does.
Emmalina:
It's up to you if and when you want it happen or not.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Oh Fantastic! Absolutely Fantastic, anything else you want to throw my way?
Emmalina:
Knowledge. Knowledge of what you can do and what you will be able to do.
Julia Alexa Miller:
What about James and our current situation.
Emmalina:
That is something he must decide upon returning. Now as for you... (Cuts to Chai as he looks around then points at himself and says "Me?" before cutting back to Emmalina) Yes, you. It's time for you to learn where James comes from with his thoughts and how you dishonored everything you worked for. (Emmalina walks over to Chai and speaks a foreign tongue and Chai's eyes turn white before his head shakes seeing normally)
Chai:
Oh WOW, James I now realized, I'm sorry.
TLOTA:
I know.
Chai:
But I have to ask Why did you compare me to Tommy Wiseau and Keanu Reeves?
TLOTA:
Wait, that was this whole rigmarole was about? I said that whole "Tommy Wiseau" bit as a joke as to where he called Zac up to be Johnny in a remake of The Room because Zac's face didn't show the concern or shock anyone else would've. As for the Keanu Reeves remark, take it as a compliment. The dude ages like Fine wine like his acting.
Chai:
I guess after hearing that, everything you said sounds better. Apologies?
TLOTA:
We're good! (The Two shake hands before cutting to Emmalina as "Infinite Possibilities" play in the foreground as the dimension starts to become unstable) What's going on?
Emmalina:
The time has come for you to move on and know things will be better for everyone. Especially you James. I will love you but you must move on. Farewell James (Cut to Emmalina disintegrates as James cries before Julia Alexa Miller walks over to him.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
It's not farewell, it's just, "I'm Moving On"
(The two embrace romantically as a bright lights breaks the barrier as it cuts to the interior of James' main lobby.) The lobby, How? What? (Cut to an off screen voice saying "Jail" before cutting to the interior door to the see the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
All right, you're all under arrest on... (Audio of a group of People shouting "SHUT UP!" before cutting to the back door to the prop room as every Power Ranger and Steve Kidd appear.)
Steve Kidd:
Okay Chai! Get ready to suffer a worse fate than being in "Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments" (Cut to Chai, James and Julia Alexa Miller)
TLOTA:
Steve, things between me and Chai are cool now. (Cut to the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
Well now we can add bringing in the Power Rangers to the ever growing list of charges we'll be arresting you on. (Cut to the Power Rangers and Steve Kidd)
Steve Kidd:
Coming from the Ocean Equivalent of The Three Stooges? You three sea slugs couldn't find the Dead Sea on a map! (Everyone starts arguing for a good minute before Julia Alexa Miller shouts a ground shaking "ENOUGH!" as it cuts to the Power Rangers and Steve Kidd starting to get back on their feet and Julia walks to them)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Look, if James does a mini-review of your 25th anniversary special will that make up for Steve's mistake?
The Power Rangers (In Unison):
Okay.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Good, Steve stay there. Rangers, head on out through the secondary exit way. (The Power Rangers run out before cutting to the Sea Cops.) Let the objection of your fear become real as I summon the image to appear! (A blast of light flashes as the Sea Cops take a step back)
Chief Splurt:
Holy Carp! It's Commissioner Claw! (Cut to Chai, James, Julia and Steve looking around before cutting back to the Sea Cops) Right next to the girl who said that rhyme? (Cut to Chai, James, Julia and Steve as James and Steve go behind to confer as Julia shows James that it's Steve before cutting back to the Sea Cops) Alright let's make this arrest look the best. (Cut to Steve as he walks towards the Sea Cops)
Steve Kidd:
YOU THREE MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDERHEADS! (Steve smacks Chief Splurt) WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Chief Splurt:
What does it look like Commissioner? We're arresting these humans on a list of charges including using Mer-Magic without a permit! (Steve Kidd gut punches then punches Chief Splurt to straighten him out.)
Steve Kidd:
I OUGHT TO TAKE YOU IN FOR IMPERSONATION OF REAL SEA COPS YOU SEA TURTLE HEADS! (Steve slaps all three Sea Cops) DIDN'T YOU KNOW I DEPUTIZED THEM AND BEATRICE BISCANIAN TO HELP IN THE RESCUE OF MADISON AND VALERIE NEPSHANK AS WELL AS WILL HAUSER AND HIS ASSOCIATES?! (Steve makes a fist and smacks it in a circular motion and clocks Chief Splurt in the noggin)
Chief Splurt:
Well now we do, the hard way. Is there anything we can do to make this up?
Steve Kidd:
Yes there is, you three void all arrests in association in this case with the exception of one Ronan the Selkie, Jed and Will Hauser's father and if you're lucky I WON'T BUST YOU SO FAR DOWN YOU'LL BE DOING UNDERSEA METER MERMAID DUTY FOR THE REST OF YOUR TIME IN SERVICE OF THE FORCE! (Steve Kidd Eye pokes Chief Splurt, Ratchet twists the ears on the Sea Cop on his left and nose smacks the Sea Cop on the right) NOW GET OUT OF HERE! (Cut to the Sea Cops)
Chief Splurt:
You heard him! Let's get out of here! (All three whoop-whoop like Zoidberg and Curly before cutting to Chai, James and Julia)
TLOTA:
Can you believe that it's just an ordinary Tuesday here? (Cut to black before fading to later as James helps everyone head on out except Olivia Horvath who waits for James in his office.)
TLOTA:
Hey Liv, what's up? (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she looks at some of James's photos of his past.)
Olivia Horvath:
Ever since that premiere I've been seeing things I never thought I'd see. (Cut to James)
TLOTA:
Including seeing Lea Michele one more time. It felt odd. (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she walks towards James)
Olivia Horvath:
That's something I need to talk about. When I bumped into her, I saw things I never saw. So tell me, what happened and why did you what you did and I want the truth.
TLOTA:
The Truth is when I met her, it was just after Cory Monteith passed away a friend of mine named Ed. Not the Ed we know got me into contacting her. I gave her my motto of "Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down" and then we talked like friends and we met just as Nash, Linkara and Film Brain wanted my copy of "The Death Of The Incredible Hulk" for a review. Me and Lea Joined her. She asked me and Rowdy to join her in a Karaoke Party on Halloween, then came the moment I lost my past and had to deal with demons inside. She helped me through it. I soon got this Studio thanks to Rebecca and her .Real Estate magic, then came the moment I had to do something that remains a scar that'll never heal. 2015 remains the roughest year of my existence. I was doing reviews, not worrying about a thing when one of three events happened I'll never be sure one event was caused when some of Rowdy's dimensional tech went screwy and I sent John, Mike, Renee and Eric down to Texas to assist to fix and Find Rowdy only to have the Government shut me down and then in a few years time it's Judgement Day "X-Men Days Of Future Past" Style and for the Nostalgia Critic (SPITS) to wind up in Hyper Fan Girl-Boner to let us know before the Government shuts me down and destroys the studio and there's this Paradox Rift threatening all of reality. Over the past few years it has receded so it won't cause any damage but the cost was some pretty big moments in history. I had to stop a moment in which I did what I had to do to save three lives. Emmalina's, Mary Queen Of Scots and Lea Michele's and it cost me so much in return. That opening night, Lea said something that shook me to the core. (Cut back to the Opening night as James and Lea hug)
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I remember it all James, all the memories of you and I. I'll never forget you ever again.
TLOTA (Whispering):
I never forgot. I never stopped loving you.
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I finally got someone as amazing as you. How about you?
TLOTA (Whispering):
I'm on my way, I can feel it.
Lea Michele (Whispering):
I hope you find her and make her as happy as I was when I was with you. I love you James, now we must move on. Goodbye. (Lea Michele walks away)
TLOTA (Whispering):
Goodbye (Cut back to James and Olivia Horvath)
Olivia Horvath:
So it was more than simply "Break A Leg". Look James, you've been putting so much on yourself. You move on. Move past Emmalina, Move past Lea Michele and see what you have in front of you right now and don't screw it up.
TLOTA:
Thanks for the advice. (James and Olivia Hug) Thanks for being such an amazing friend especially for this long.
Olivia Horvath:
Just remember what I said. See you next month?
TLOTA:
Yeah, sure and take Steve with you! (Cut to Olivia Horvath as she walks away)
Olivia Horvath:
You got it James! STEVE! (Olivia walks out the door just as Julia Alexa Miller walks in.)
Julia Alexa Miller:
Hey James, I figure I'd give you something to review this October. (Julia Alexa Miller places the YouTube Page for "WitchHaven" on James' desk)
TLOTA:
Thanks
Julia Alexa Miller:
Before I forget, I wanted to... (James puts his hand up just as Julia Alexa Miller is about to take off Emmalina's Amulet )
TLOTA:
Keep it. As a matter of fact there's something I've been meaning to tell you. (James pulls out his morpher and takes out his card, De-Morphing back to James Faraci and Deliberate Thought by Kevin MacLeod plays in the foreground)
James Faraci:
Alex, I've never had the best luck in women or anything in that matter. Always one thing or another but not this time. When I saw you for the first time, I had an interest that was personal, more than my normal standards.
Julia Alexa Miller:
I don't understand, James are you saying what I think you are?
James Faraci:
Yes, I am. Julia Alexa Miller I...(Julia Alexa Miller puts her hand over James' lips)
Julia Alexa Miller:
I already knew, just by the look in your eyes and I feel the same way. (Julia puts her hand down and James kisses Julia on the lips romantically)
James Faraci:
Thank you for being the best thing to happen to me, Julia Alexa Miller.
Julia Alexa Miller:
Thank you for being you James Benjamin Faraci. (The two continue to kiss as it fades to black)
