Why is sea patrol ending

Bad ending. I love watching the show Sea Patrol. But i hate the way they ended it. Jim and Swain shouldn't of died in that boat exsplosion like it showed in the last episode.

Plus what was said about what the crew done since that faithfully day where they saw a close friend, Hammersley family died before there eyes would shock any one. What metals did the crew get beside Jim and swain getting the Victoria cross for what they did? But it leave a number of unanswered questions. Did Kate get promoted. Did Ryan rejoin the navy? What happen to spider, Nav, buffer. It a shame that there wasn't two more seasons of the show where it showed mike and Kate getting engage, married and birth of there first child.

Plus it one way to bring back Spider, Nav, buffer, bomber and chefo for an episode or two so we would know what happen to them. Details Edit. Release date July 12, Australia. I hope this is not the case. This is just an appalling piece of television. The Nine Network spent some ridiculous amount of money on it too. The premise is great; the adventures of a Royal Australian Navy patrol boat and its crew as they protect Australia's north.

How they could get it so wrong is anybody's guess. The writing is despicable. It is hackneyed and trite and the dialogue is so forced and banal. It is as subtle as a brick to the head which would be more pleasant than watching this , and lacks any wit or sparkle.

Story lines go overboard at a rate of knots. The acting is just deplorable. Lisa McCune heads the team, a woman so wooden the Tasmanians want to pulp her.

She did her best work on the Coles ads. The rest are just shocking. The editing is non existent and the cinematography is as basic as I Love Lucy. The music is sickeningly cheap. It is worse than the s Star Trek Original Series fare. And the sound effects, oh my lord! It is a worrying indictment on the sorry state of affairs at the Nine Network. I have read that only 1 person in the executive team has any TV experience, and it is minimal at that. It shows. What is perhaps more worrying is that this reprehensible creation has been sold to many other countries!

This is not an image we want to send out. It has also been renewed for a 2nd season! God help us! Over here in the Netherlands this series is behind the decoder.

So no Dutch channel airs this show. While zapping I came across it and I got hooked. Of course it is not life in the war zone, but with the general problems: drugs, gunrunning. OK, I admit, some episodes are a little obvious and boring but in general it is very watchable. Better than some US series we have over here. The interaction of men and women confined to a ships hull is nicely done and very recognizable.

No gunslingers or nautical wonders, but just a group of people doing their daily job on the high seas. Just watched the last episode of season four. Hopefully it ill be continued next season. Series initially was fairly entertaining. But as the seasons progressed some episodes were unrealistic, often forced and silly.

As an aside, there are apparently ten additional crew members that are rarely seen but never heard or included. Probably because a speaking role requires higher pay! Sea Patrol - As I watch the series years after it was broadcast, I find myself searching for life vests for the poor crew of a slow sinking ship.

Don't get me wrong, as a former U. Navy Veteran, I love anything to do with the sea. However, as the series continues, the plots worsens, sending the once mighty warship deeper into the abyss. Yet, I see the boarding parties as destined to surrender their weapons and fall victim to criminals almost every episode. It is a wonder that many don't get killed by their captors. Maybe, they have the fortune of who is captured by ruthless villains only to cheat death at the last moment.

To think that trained members of any military would surrender their sidearms is scary. It is too bad that this show was not more like the original Mchale's Navy, based in comedy not "realistic" scenarios. I feel sorry for the actors who must constantly lose the opening battle to criminals, pirates, and other scounderals. Being an Old Salt, I watch the show to recapture my love of the sea.

However, I must resist the urge to fall prey to sea sickness from bad story lines I never got sea sick, even in the North Atlantic in winter. Oh well, we can't always have what we desire. In , "Sea Patrol" blasted onto the Channel Nine program. At first I thought that it would definitely not be my thing, and was expecting a boring piece of junk.

I was really pleasantly surprised. This program has everything you could possibly want: action, drama, romance if you're into that sort of thing , great writing, and more! This is a good series, but after a while you get tired of Nikki as shes disrespectful to anyone who's below her rank. After the 1st two series it starts looking like McHales Navy.

This show should really make a much appreciated comeback. Heard some rumors about that it, but that does not sadly seem to be the case. But guess that there are many more of us that would love to serve in the marine, and would have loved to have the chance like that these actors present. In a very good and humanitarian friendly way, but controlled. Show the examples and consequences of illegal refugees again. This series is the most requested loved and requested reappearance for me.

And I think many others. I think I have grown to old to partake in it now but I really want it back. Totally ridiculous and contrary to reality show. You have a multi million dollar state of the art warship given to a bunch of dimwit cowards under the command of a completely useless moron who doesnt know jack about fighting. They always run away like little mice even when confronted by a bunch of rag tag dinghy. The sailors are complete stupid morons who find themselves in stupid situations.

Oh, by the way they give away their guns to the enemy like candy. Even a child will put up a fight if you try to snatch her candy. But these morons just surrender their guns and themselves to the enemy without even putting up a fight. What a joke. I dont understand how the Australian navy has endorsed such a cowardly portrayal of themselves in this show. Its just utter stupidity. If the real Australian navy is anywhere near as shown in this show, then god save the people of Australia.

Edit: I dont know what the writers of this show have against the Australian Navy to show them in such an incompetent, cowardly and idiotic manner. I dont understand how such a show was allowed to run for 6 seasons. Even a tourist cruise ship would have better security than this warship.

McCune is looking forward this season to again showing XO's more vulnerable side as she and Stenlake's Flynn continue their relationship. Such a change from barking out orders. Stenlake's observation that she also got to snog him elicits a derisive guffaw from his castmate. The two laughingly catalogue the injuries of five seasons on a show that has an amazing safety record - despite the complexity of its stunts and the fact that much of it is filmed on water rather than terra firma.

Another original cast member, Kristian Schmid, is still being solidly bagged about last season's man overboard incident in which, as Stenlake puts it, "Schmid walked onto a boat that wasn't there". Someone got a fish hook through his arm. The closest they've seen to potential casualty this season was off-set, when Conrad Coleby Dutchy Mullholland , insisted on hurtling home downhill on a skateboard after regular barbecues at the McElroy's Mission Beach house.

Nor is it visible later in the day, as we hit the water to join the unit boat and watch filming off Dunk Island. With filming started and the first wave of wardrobe and catering over for the day, the serious business of the annual Sea Patrol fishing competition is under way. As we pull up, cheers erupt from the base vessel as a massive moon fish is pulled in - the biggest catch of the season so far. To join the conversation, please log in. Don't have an account?
