  • misterwolf @nickienicks @castingsinmyblood @otsutsuki @pumpkinchowcorg @shatteringjourney and @robertcooper Not intended to be a good film by any means. It's just meant to jumpstart the events of The Serpent, which is obviously the first installment in the Sea Monsters Universe and arguably the better of three films in this franchise so far. Enjoy the few good things about this one.

  • misterwolf In the aftermath, Carlos initially chastises Cassie for taking his ship, but then says "Not bad, kid", and then hugs her. He then rediscovers his past romance with Olivia, while Cassie, under the instructions of Sofia, tells them of a Spanish biologist they should recruit when they join Olivia's sister on her ship. Cassie also tells them that this biologist is also a diver, and reveals that she is the daughter of Sofia. When Carlos asks if she knows her name, she replies "Lucía Herrera", and then the end credits roll.
