As a 1993 child, each JP anniversary is becoming less and less flattering x)

Ironically feels like the most dinosaur heavy piece yet 😅
Love it

Considering the color grading and aspect ratio, it's probably stills from the film.

There are two types of dinosaur games. The ones where you murder them, and the ones where you imprison them

Yeah, although it isn't just sitting interviews. Several of the scientists also have sequences on site, for example the Rhynie Chert (which wasn't in the Chris P. version IIRC.)

Have you seen the PBS "Ancient Earth" version? Pretty good way to re-watch, get a bit of different spin on it.

I don't know man, I'm honestly not interested enough in mesozoic dinosaurs to know such specific taxonomy. All I see is some ankylosaur lol

oh, I wish they reused the ankylosaurus somewhere in here

Design aside, some of the close-up shots of Alberto was by far the most well rendered stuff in the series as well.

Earth w Chris Packham also had a bit shot here ;)
And there is also that wacky dragon mockumentary

Yeah, at the end of the day this is entertainment. And being bored is arguably the worst thing that can happen in that regard.

there is barely a dimension at all*

No, I would rank LOOP lower. I just think your scoring scale is starting way too high, so there a dimension at all. Like, a B is a great score. This isn't great, it's mediocre - a solid C (straight in the middle). LOOP is a D imo, and was honestly more fun to watch than WWD - despite the inaccuracy.

B is very generous

you should check out Val Troll's YT channel if you're interested in the geology of the canaries!

I saw the first 2 eps. First one was pretty weak in a lot of ways. Even the scientists seemed more interested in T. rex than the actual protagonist lol
Ep 2 was decent, but the pacing between the scientists and CG fantasies remains poorly executed. But I'm sure kids will be inspired by it.

Well, it will eventually air national channels as well. I know SVT (Swedish state channel) will air it, but that usually happens about half a year after the BBC airing - and with a Swedish narration.

Not completely. It airs on 28th May on BBC Nordic for us, well, nordics.

He sent me a preview of this a couple of months ago hehe :p
I can't afford this at this time, but it's amazing that's it finally out! It's the pinnacle of paleo docu scores

Agreed. And to presume every criticism comes from hate is equally toxic.

I'll never understand why the BBC Earth channel always uploads the audio in mono lol, removes all depth

pseudodocumentary sounds pretty apt, might use that
comment in response to
post
yeah. I hope the rest is good, but I'm just not excited by it from what we've seen. Besides, the science of dinosaurs is cooler than the dinosaurs themselves. And including paleontologists has the potential to make this an actual documentary, rather than a mockumentary like the original.

ah I see. But no, I'm not really interested in doing spec-evo/alternative timeline stuff.

tbh, this is the only part of the series I'm looking forward to.
