RANDOM MESSAGES 15: Go Storm Area 51...you weirdos

[TRNatalie]

Apologies for the late reply. I was walking my dog.

Oh gosh I love the Walking With series! I grew up watching Walking With Beasts and later Allosaurus. I also had a novelization of Walking With Dinosaurs but I didn't see it or Walking With Monsters until later in life. Such fascinating creatures that appeared in each of them.
I haven't seen Walking With Cavemen yet. I'm not sure if these count but I've also seen Prehistoric Park and some other prehistoric documentaries with Nigel Marven which were pretty cool.

Ah, Liopleurodon. Such a magnificent creature... Except that discoveries and/or studies made later may have revealed that it was actually a lot smaller than what was depicted in this series. So there's that epic image shattered.

Yeah, that's always surprising when you realize a prehistoric animal you were awestruck by really weren't as scary or epic as the Walking With series made them out to be (such as Gastornis. There's been discoveries and studies that suggest it was actually a herbivore)

Apologies for the late reply. I had to walk my dog.

It's perfectly fine. We understand.

I'm not sure if these count but I've also seen Prehistoric Park and some other prehistoric documentaries with Nigel Martin which were pretty cool.

Yeah, I saw those too. He was actually the "narrator" in several Walking with Dinosaurs special episodes, including the Sea Monsters mini-series, but also did other prehistoric "documentaries", like the Prehistoric Park you mentioned, which I've also seen and liked.

Also, you slightly misspelled/misremembered the name. It's actually Nigel Marven.

(such as Gastornis. There's been discoveries and studies that suggest it was actually a herbivore)

Oh, yeah. That one too. Almost forgot.

Yeah, I saw those two. He was actually the "narrator" in several Walking with Dinosaurs special episodes, including the Sea Monsters mini-series, but also did other prehistoric "documentaries", like the Prehistoric Park you mentioned, which I've also seen and liked.

Yeah, he was. And then there was 'The Giant Claw' that was pretty cool.

Also, you slightly misspelled/misremembered the name. It's actually Nigel Marven.

Whoops! (Just fixed it) Thank you for the reminder.

Oh, yeah. That one too. Almost forgot.

Even now, it's hard for me to wrap my mind around because the copy of Walking With Beasts I own has a bonus disc that shows how it was made and the research they did behind the creatures. They have a section related specifically to Gastornis where they compare the skull and beak to a macaw's and...yeah.

Did I see cats here?

And after all the time I've been considering it, I've finally cleaned up my profile info.

Not to mention of the Land of Giant special. Most people only know about T-Rex, because it's a popular culture icon, but more people should honestly know that it wasn't the biggest predator dinosaur ever.

And Therizinosaurus was also quite a sight, even though most of it is just educated guessing.

Whoops! (Just fixed it) Thank you for the reminder.

No problem!

Lucky you. I've never had that show in my possession in any way, shape, or form, and I don't think I've seen that behind the scenes thing for that show. Well, I guess the dinosaur one was good enough for me.

And yeah. Information changing like that can be kinda hard to digest when you've originally learned it as an impressionable child and stayed true to that belief for years.

Did I see cats here?

Indeed you did!

What is going down up here?!

 

[Crystal Onix]

Nothing, we're staying level. We're just going left right now.

What is going down up here?!

It looks like RM was hit by a Cat-astrophe.. Though it's looking rather purrrrfect now

WHO HERE HAS WATCHED STRANGER THINGS

Ain't it brilliant? Probably the best series I've ever seen in my lifetime. El is the best. Ah yeah! Beauty. Sheer beauty. And I'm not being creepy. I'm being APPRECIATIVE.

Anyway I wanna get some gifs of the series but with two episodes to go before season 2 ends... can't risk it. Some twat will give away the finale.

WHO HERE HAS WATCHED STRANGER THINGS

Never heard of it.

 

[Revenge of the Boyega]

Never heard of it.

Admit stuff like that and

 

[Crystal Onix]

Stranger things than what?
Bob Ross? Yes.
Blobfish? Yes
Boohbah? Maaaaaybe?

Certain quarks are pretty strange, though. Some others have their charm.
