"Dragons" come to life on Animal Planet
 
http://animal.discovery.com/converge...s/dragons.html

This looks INCREDIBLE. It comes from the same people who did the CGI of "Walking with Dinosaurs", "Harry Potter", and much more..

It talks about the existance of Dragons as internationally known creatures of 'myth'. I say 'myth' because this show goes to discussing about how they could have flew, looked, breathed fire and basically prove that they theoretically could have Existed.

The site has trailers, sneak previews, snippets of the show, explains the species of dragons and so much more.


The reason I'm so excited about this is because My research paper back last semester focused on Dragons, and I made a point of showing a similarity between Dragons and Dinosaurs. If youre interested in seeing the report, PM me.


Take a look at this and answer this (serious) question...


Do you think Dragons could have existed?


*edit*

Here's another link for clips.. :D

Do you know what I really hate you US-citizens for? Your TV-program :D. You get all the cool stuff at least a year before the negotiations about broadcasting this or that on TV here start. Take the TMNT for example, the new series. Nobody has even heard of them over here. But instead we have to put up with lame stuff like "K11 - commissioners on duty" and "Big Brother - the village" (which is not supposed to end).

Damn you, US-TV!

(NOTE: This post wasn't meant to be racist, I'm just jealous)

And yes, I am interested in seeing that report. Dragons are most interesting since they could be dinosaurs who survived. Something like Nessie...

Beastiality dreams of teenie-boppers just took one giant leap to striking reality.

Machias Banshee 02-11-2005 07:33 PM

Um... mmkay..


I managed to find that pic I mentioned in my first post.

First, a look at a Dinosaur

And now... a Dragon (I warn you now, its very slow to load.)


Things that make you go Hmmmmm....

I second Anarky's "Damn you, US TV!" remark.

I'm a such a sucker for documentaries like this, where they try to extrapolate the existence of someone or something based on mythological and historical accounts. Its usually pretty fascinating. Plus, there's always one whackjob anthropology/zoology/history professor from Berkeley or whatnot who is so slobberingly adamant about the existance of so-and-so that watching them descend further and further into madness as the show rolls on is rather sporting. If AFN ever picks it up, consider this bitch TIVO-ed.

Also... March 20th = 3/20. One month shy o' 4/20.

aww... see, this is what happens when I dont get any sleep........ *fixes it*

Ooh, I am so all over this. Gonna write it the calendar (how sad is my life?) I love shows like this. This is gonna be so cool! :D

Peanut 02-12-2005 03:40 AM

I don't even think I get Animal Planet, but Dragons are bad ass. I want to see this, but I probably won't. I'm terrible for remembering to watch stuff on TV, plus I don't know if I get the channel.

KROW 02-12-2005 11:12 AM

Awesome. Dragons are my favorite mythical creatures. I must see this.

I think so. There's quite a bit of evidence to prove so, although the discovery of fossils are few and far between.

Ryona 02-12-2005 12:17 PM

Ooooh! This sounds pretty exciting! I'll definetly watch it! :D

I very much like dragons too! I find them so fascinating. ^_^

And thus you will also have my cry "Cursed paid TV channels!" All I have is PBS. Hrmm.... will this be available online anywhere too?

愛 02-13-2005 03:33 PM

Man, I don't watch Animal Planet all that much, but dragons? That's pretty neat stuff. I might have to check it out.

That Matt Guy 02-13-2005 10:45 PM

Last time I viewed an Animal Planet special, I was completely let down. The headless wooly mammoth; frozen in a block of ice was not all it was hyped up to be.

azure turtle 02-15-2005 02:12 PM

Woah, this show sounds so cool! I'm a fan of dragons too. After seeing a few clips at that website, I'm amazed at how much work Animal Planet has put into this project. The dragons look very detailed, and move in a convincing manner.

Alas, I'm in the same boat as you, HT. No cable in my appartment... I might just have to wait for a DVD release.

Hannah 02-15-2005 03:03 PM

Woot! Dragons! I have to see this.I'm especially curious about how they think the dragons breathed fire. o.o*

Kali 03-20-2005 11:11 PM

So, how many people caught this? I thought it was wonderfully done. Both the CG and the scientific explanation behind dragons.

cqb101 03-21-2005 06:29 PM

I saw most of this and I thought it was great. DOes anybody know when they'll repeat it? I'd like to tape it.....

Kali 03-22-2005 01:44 PM

It'll be playing again next weekend.

Animal Planet is doing a show on made up stuff.This should have been on the Discovery.

Dragons are fantasy creatures.When did Dragons become science fact.Dragons are science fiction.

I don't mind Dragons either.They just should not be on animal planet.When they are usually with Knights and wizards and all the other stuff that goes with that time period.
