: : : I think we should continue the discussion on the board because people are reading. Don't you find it a little strange that all of a sudden it seems like we are the only two people writing. That means everyone else is reading. People want to hear what's being said on heavy issues, because they're looking for answers and looking to see which point of view will prove itself to be the truth.

: This topic may not interest you personally, but it definitely deals with the types of things found in Oceangirl. For instance Neri in the story comes from another Planet, and comes here in a space craft. They are obviously more advanced and have a greater knowledge of the universe. In a show that shows communication with whales, is set in the near future, people from other planets, space crafts, underwater pyramids, other realms that they travel by, and having the "gift" and Neri being "superhuman". Oh Yeah, I would say we are right on track.

Perhaps I am different, I am a 'realist' by nature, and I don't see how you can simply 'accept' the fantasy of Ocean Girl as a prediction of the future. I like the Ocean Girl series, but I don't see it as a representation of the future. You are an idealist, and although it is nice to think that 'Neri' is real, she is not. Marzena does a great job working with the character of Neri, but 'Neri' is NOT real, you have to accept that.

'Neri' wouldn't have anything to say about this because there is no 'Neri' in reality, it is physically impossible for you to talk to 'Neri' since she does not exist.

I think the series is great, but it is NOT a documenmtary. What's real is that the United Nations designated 1998 as the Year of the Ocean. For more information on this, check out a site near you...
