[[Sea Patrol]] is an Australian television series focusing on the crew of the HMAS ''Hammersley''. The first three seasons have their own [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]] that is slowly revealed over the course of the season, though each episode was more focused on giving one or two crew members their [[A Day in
----
Line 9:
* [[Action Girl]]: Kate and Bomber qualify, Nikki rarely sees action but never lets anyone down and Bird can be generiously described as too young and inexperienced to be one.
* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: Kate and Mike.
* [[Alone
* [[Amateur Sleuth]]: The crew when they get involved with crimes and the [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]].
* [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]: The crew, especially Mike, do this on occasion
Line 55:
* [[Curse Escape Clause]]: Which involves getting back their mascot, stealing the other ship's mascot (of the crew that stole their's) and Buffer dressing up as Neptune to give a offering to appease the sea.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Name a character, though RO and Buffer are, arguably, the most prominent examples.
* [[Death
* [[Disposable Sex Worker]]: Poor women looking for a better life are force to be this and are the centre of an episode in the 3 season.
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Bird
Line 61:
* [[The Drunken Sailor]]: Of course there's shore leave but while Buffer and 2Dads took on two dangerous men and won poor RO 'needs' to stay away from the boooze. The poor golf buggie...
* [[Embarrassing Tattoo]]: Buffer on a night out descides to get another tattoo and forces Spider to come along and get one himself. Buffer (who's definally drunk) goes to sleep in the chair while his tattoo is being done. The next day Bomber is teading to the slightly infeted tattoo and it becomes clear that it isn't the tattoo Buffer wanted. Bomber concers Spider who admits that he didn't get one then reliases that he messed with Buffer's choice. It turns out that he changed it to a heart with XO in it. [[Crowning Momentsof Funny|And the first person Buffer shows it to is the XO]]...Spider is very lucky not to be mained let alone alive when Buffer is finished with him.
* [[Exactly What It Says
* Everything'sBetterwithMonkeys: 2Dads thinks so...
* [[Father Neptune]]: Charge qualifes.
Line 67:
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Interestingly, not much of a problem in ET and Nav's relationship (mostly by Nav accepting that he is an incurable flirt and he makes sure she knows she number one). However when Mike or Kate show interest in someone else they are clearly upset and snark at each other, though they keep it mostly out of the crew's way ... well, Kate does.
** Bomber after two seasons of being the only girl in the ranks finds herself pushed aside when young Bird turns up.
* [[Going Down
* [[Good
* [[Happily Married]]: Swaine
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: 2Dads has some of this to Dutchy in series 4.
Line 81:
* [[Informed Flaw]]: A few crop up now and then.
* [[Interservice Rivalry]]: A few times when an army man appears or once when the crew found weapons stolen from an army base but there is a problem with the [[FE Ds]] everynow and again, while the crew isn't blameless there are one or two moments when the plot wouldn't have happened if the [[FE Ds]] had just warned 'Hammersley' something would happening in the area.
* [[Jerk
* [[Known Only By Their Nickname]]: Besides Mike, and to a lesser extent Kate, the whole cast is almost exclusively refereed to by their nicknames.
** Also Bird which is her surname.
Line 96:
* [[Not Me This Time]]: 2Dads increasingly suffers this as the series goes on. He does deserve it sometimes though.
* [[Open Secret]]: ET and Nikki's relationship ends up being this. While everyone is more or less a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|shipper on deck]] no one wants them to leave and so they keep quite about it. Mike and Kate are so good that it comes as a bit of a surpise when they show that they know about it.
* [[Put
** Justified in that people in the Navy change boats regularly, just in the course of their careers.
* [[Quicksand Sucks]]: 2Dads falls into a pit in Season Four, even briefly falling beneath the surface.
* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: Characters leaving the show at the end of most seasons unexplainedly, which happens on real boats all the time.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The characters were only [[Put
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Averted the women are as femenine as they would be and wear desses off the ship, eye the candy eye men and have realistic converastions between themselves.
* [[Screaming Birth]]: This happens in the penutunant episode of the first season. She give plenty of abruse to the father as well.
Line 125:
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Buffer, Spider and Bomber end up stuck on a boat with about 10 deadly snakes at one point.
* [[Will They Or Won]]'tThey?: Mike and Kate. ET and Nikki {{spoiler|ET and Nikki do but before it is finalised and fully out in the open he is murdered. Mike and Kate finally get together at the start of the fourth series when he is promoted off the '''Hammersley''' but he is back at the end of the second episode and their relationship is put on hold for the rest of the season to Kate's increasing fustration. She breaks it off in the fifth season and goes out with old flame Jim but they get together in the final episode}}.
* [[Working
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: A woman in series one sent Maydays all episode. She caused a lot of problems before she held ET at gun point.
