Prehistoric Planet (Season 2, 2023)

[LegendZilla]

^Is it confirmed that Adalatherium was egg-laying?

[Gojira2K]

Nothing confirmed, but it could potentially be related to the echidna so possibly. Also, Prehistoric Planet has done some speculation work that's confirmed, but is definitely in the realm of possibility. It's also a very new discovery.

[DynomikeGojira]

Finished Swamps it's a little short but otherwise quite good and I'll just say that for those of us who wanted to see T.rex back with more action you'll definitely be pleased and also our crocodilomorphs fans will happy as well in the first segment. Madagascar makes it's returns and comes full circle as far as I'm concerned. Now it's starting to sink in that we only have to episodes left.

Ok so finished watching Oceans while I did enjoy it a lot this is the first time I felt an episode was too short but considering this is a sequel of sorts to Coasts it's admittedly a nitpick. Shockingly ammonites got the most attention of any group in this episode so that was interesting although I certainly would've hoped for the largest ammonite species to appear but unfortunately it doesn't. A Jurassic World Dominion dinosaur makes an appearance in a way you wouldn't expect and it's definitely gonna cause some mixed discussion. The Hesperonis scene was Xiphantius was the most exciting segment. Mosasaurus makes a return alongside Turangasaurus and we get Phosphorosaurus and Mortuneia as well. Surprising omissions are turtles, sharks, pterosaurs and polycotylids so that's disappointing. All in all good episode but my least favorite so far for both seasons.

Do these episodes take an extra day to be viewed in Canada?

Probably I know in the East Coast we get it a few hours earlier

Well here we are last episode North America I have to say this is possibly my favorite episode of Prehistoric Planet ever each of the segments were well timed and I didn't feel like we were lacking anything beyond what previous episodes already gave with the North American fauna however there are still some omissions that are present like a certain armored dinosaur or a certain other part of North America but those were already stretches anyway. The Alamosaurus sequence is my favorite because it sorta reminded me of the classic Walking With Dinosaurs episode Giant of The Skies and that leads into the highly anticipated showdown between T.rex and Quezalcoatlus abd it didn't disappoint. Again I wanna thank the Prehistoric Planet team and Apple for giving another season of this wonderful season and while it's not known right now whether we'll get another season I hope PP while inspire a new generation if paleodocs and we got several coming. It was fun guys this was a great week.

^Didn't some say that

Spoiler:

The T.Rex backs down instantly?

Regarding the T.rex vs Quezalcoatlus sequence

Spoiler:

The Tyrannosaurus doesn't back down until after the second Quezalcoatlus shows up and that's only after they start flying around pecking on him

So after finishing season 2 of PP (hehehehe), I must say that I definitely enjoyed it overall. That said, it felt like S2 was just random stuff stitched together that was cut from S1. It didn't feel focused and there was no real story to it. I still stand by that the WWD format is still a lot better for a dinosaur documentary and I really hope this doesn't become the norm.

[LegendZilla]

Any ideas for what species could be featured in the next season? I Have some :

Giganotosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus
Spinosaurus
Argentinosaurus
Armadilosuchus
Protoceratops
Platypterygius
Pachydiscus
Archeoraptor
Utahraptor
Gondwanatherium
Pinacosaurus

[Executive Hamster]

We really doing spoiler warnings for a documentary series?

Eh, it's nice to be surprised no matter what you're watching. Well... okay, there are limits to that. Stop taking notes, George Lucas.

[Godzillakuj94]

Would be nice to get a Big Al equivalent with this series where we get an hour or hour plus long episode following the life of some specimen from the time.

Maybe they could do one for Sue The T-Rex?

[DynomikeGojira]

Honestly I rather Prehistoric Planet do it's own thing there's plenty potential upcoming paleodocs that can go more in depth.

[Gojira1604]

Isisairus became a new favorite as well as Rajasaurus.

[DynomikeGojira]

Eh I'm still with the mighty Rex but I was good to see the Indian and Malagasy animals that missed out on season 1.
On another note Life on Our Planet looks killer.

[JAGzilla]

I finally started S2E1. The first few minutes are promising! I love the Hatzegopteryx hunting Tethyshadros scene. Great introduction for the idea of pterosaurs being terrifying dinosaur killers.

EDIT: Yeah, good episode all around. I liked the Simosuchus scene, too. I appreciate that this show gives attention to some of the weird, obscure animals like this.

[DynomikeGojira]

Oh wow awesome that you're finally starting season 2 yeah the Hatzegopteryx hunt was definitely chilling
