I'm actually curious if there's been any studies into the biomechanics of their necks
Azdarchid necks seem so rigid to be doing fast pecking motions that can imply reliably pecking out a rex's eye or something

what bothers me the most about this sequence is how inconsistent the rex's temperament is

but then it doesn't show similar "RAAHH MY FOOD" for the quetz and just gives up after a few pecks to the back

I would've sooner believed the rex would back down if the quetz had actually at least tried to peck for the eyes

finally went through season 2
how was it
gentle slate
unsurprisingly not as spectacular and such to watch as S1 due life incidents, the wifi constantly cutting off, the streaming quality bouncing harder than a Beelzebufo
but that's ofc the downsides, on the bright side it was amazing, not too sure if I like it more than S1 due how iconic the later feels already
but gotta say I like the roster for this season alot more than S1, the consistent themes of mating and taking care of young was very needed and welcome
dim fog
I think they're both great overall, I just think that Season 2 had less "WOW" moments than season 1 did
gentle slate
yes exactly
dim fog
season 2 definitely improved on parenting and hunting, and animal diversity
gentle slate
S2 had alot more of the usual stuff I'm aware of in the world of paleo
while S1 def presented me very unique perspectives into some dinosaurs
closest to dread's air sacs here was prob the ammonite body pilling, that caught me off guard
dim fog
the offguard moment for me was the sheer gallop speed upon landing from Hatz
as for actual jumpscare, Madstoia killing the Masiakasaurus
and yeah, I wasn't expecting the mass body push from the baby ammonites either
Push! Puuuuuuush!
also a bit weird that the baby ammonite's shell look a bit too much like a plastic toy in some shots, but then again, there is that one squid
here's a baby nautilus for reference

Swamps and/or Badlands were prob my fav eps, but Madagascar portions were easily the best for me

season 2 definitely improved on parenting and hunting, and animal diversity

Late but I've been thinking about this, and there are quite a few animals from the show that don't get a lot of focus or their focal part of the segment is rather small. Having segment where stuff like Atrociraptor, Tarbosaurus, Tethydraco, Rapetosaurus, the two Mongolian sauropods, Alamosaurus (still salty we didn't get focus on the dying bull instead of rex vs quetz), Edmontosaurus, etc. would be nice

So I rewatched the entirety of season 1 + Islands today (I originally just wanted to rewatch Ice Worlds but I got hugely carried away), and man it really did reinforce my opinion that season 1 was the better of the two. It felt a lot more well paced and had a more calm air than the other with how it went along with many of its segments
I still enjoyed season 2 ofc, I just don't think it holds up as well with season 1

It is a throughly common issue that, if anything, should be commented

Shri and Kuru share a few coauthors, and of course the analysis is the same, and that analysis by itself is what has me skeptical. Balaur as a velociraptorine and Deinonychus closer to Velociraptor than Tsaagan are some awkward results that ought to be understood as "our model needs finer tunning" IMO, but, that's on Turner I suppose

I checked with Napoli and part of why he retains the phylogeny is that he doesn't feel it is a good idea to overhaul the phylogeny completely without proper further reassessment of Balaur, which he does not have access to beyond what he is provided in the AMNH's matrix.

it's different to use unnamed species vs having species who's genus the producers know and still voluntarily leave out

Sam actually spitting facts for once lol
It's not that big a deal I agree, I don't see why it wasn't but it's exact identity being known doesn't change too much for the scene

true
I do think the bigger issue is presenting species who we know so little about that they're unnamed because they literally don't have a genus

strong geyser
Yeah, I honestly couldn't tell you if most of the stories in the 1st episode took place in the same place or not.
A minor thing for me is the sense of scale isn't very strong this season. There's multiple scenes where I'm not sure if the environments are just bigger than I think or the animals aren't as big as they are meant to be
Megalania did not seem like it was 20 feet long in it's instance, And the Leptoptilos did not seem like it was man sized in that segment either
I know it's kind of hard to pull that kind of stuff off, without there being an immediately relatable item in the shot, and idk how I'd go about addressing that personally

I also found it odd how they don’t use the term “ground sloth” for Megalonyx, just… “sloth”. My father was watching with me and I had to explain what ground sloths are when the inclusion of ONE more word in the script would’ve sufficed

Watched the final two episodes, Grasslands was pretty good but the last episode is definitely the weak link of the season in large part because the show wants to have its cake and eat it too when it comes to the extinctions. Everyone gets a happy ending even when we're told they're dying out
While not part of the 5th episode, Gigantopithicus' segment was probably the worst offender, coming off as a whimsical look into how the animal manages in a changing world with the fact its mating calls go unanswered being almost a background element
