Dinosaur Planet (2003– )
8/10
Pretty good...

I think this series is actually very well done. Complaints about "Dinosaurs doing stupid and unbelievable things" fly right past me... I mean, who hasn't seen PEOPLE do some pretty stupid and unbelievable things??? When Das, for example, runs into his mother, knocking her prey right out of her mouth, well, it's a mistake. We've all made mistakes. You have to keep in mind that this is a STORY, and thus must have tension, sympathy, and other elements that a straight documentary might not provide. While I really loved Walking With Dinosaurs, I believe Dinosaur planet further rounds out the education and fascination with Dinosaurs. I give it an 8 because it's not the best show I've ever seen, and is definitely not on par with Walking With Dinosaurs, but I highly recommend it to anyone who simply loves Dinosaurs! If you are picky about 'scientific errors,' please keep in mind that all we know about dinosaur behavior is guesswork, even the best guesses are probably off quite a bit. Suspend your disbelief for just a bit, and enjoy the story! If you find inaccuracies, great! That just means you were paying attention. Go ahead and point them out. Read up on them, see if you are right. It's all part of the learning process, and I for one, am more interested in learning than complaining and nitpicking.
