    Default Anyone remember the Dinotopia Tv miniseries?

    Anyone ever watched that? I remember seeing it as a child, just watched the first part again. Everything I remembered was just like I remembered, like Zippo.

    I thought it was good, then again I was just a kid when I first watched it, so nostalgia might help....

    Very fondly, though nostalgia could be kicking in.

    I remember that I didn't enjoy it half as much as the original books, not really bad just not magical if that makes any sense.

    The books were awesome. If by "books," of course, you mean Gurney's original works. The illustrations alone...

    The books were fantastic. The images were like Eye-gasms. Only with Dinosaurs, so even more so.

    Completely. I'll never fully accept feathered dinosaurs (except for some of the raptors, it makes them cute) because they weren't feathered in Dinotopia. I liked the first book best, although the second was good as well.

    When they shot him down on the highway,
    Down like a dog on the highway,
    And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.

    Yes, unfortunately. Bland and unsympathetic protaganists, nonsensical plot and boken aesops. Excellent special effects though.

    Sounds like 90% of American TV...

    The books were good though. Especially the second.

    I never read the books myself. Are they any good?

    They're good to allright when you read them, moving from the former to the latter overall in order of publication (mileage varies). When you look at them they leave behind such mundane words as "good" and streak past inadequate terms like "awe-inspiring" and "perfectabulous" and enter the world of quasi-celestial-awesome.
