Actually, I thought it was better done than most. I was happy that they went
over newer discoveries, and not the same old same old dinosaur topics that
these shows tend to cover. I also like how they are molding the show around
the different worldwide sites.

Maybe you guys tend to forget that many folks think the only dinos in the
world are raptors, rexes and brontosaurs. So the CG sucked, and maybe the
finds are old news to you. I think this series will be useful to the new
volunteers at my museum that want to know a bit more about the newer animals
and worldwide sites. These are folks that are not ready to dive into
scientific papers and these shows can act as an introduction. As much as I
like dino art, IMHO, it's not the most important part of a documentary.

Now if you want to gripe, The preparators of the list have more to nitpick
about. Gee, I wish I could just brush and pick our dinosaurs clean. The fake
bushing and cleaning on pre-prepped speciens and casts was just awful! Once
I'd like a shot of someone using glue! I donate my brain cells to science
and no one knows! :)
