I had a great time chatting to the lovely people at @tortoisepod about making science documentaries, ET and how I came to be driving across Addis Ababa with @ProfBrianCox and a human brain in a bucket (for clarity, only the brain was in the bucket)… pod.link/1743063174

God, this episode was just incredible! Despite what negative feelings people may have towards the new #WWD2025 I ask that you give this episode a chance. Equally heartfelt and compelling, with relevant scientific portions that actually enhance the speculative story!
There's very good model and texture work in the new Walking with Dinosaurs, and it shines the strongest when the dinosaurs are in open environments and rendered with longer lenses. I thought that these two shots in the third epsiode looked particularly impressive and convincing.

My opinion on #WWD2025 episode "River Dragon": THIS EPISODE IS A MASTERPIECE! Nearly everything was great, I loved both the Spinosaurus & Carcharodontosaurus, many scenes were genuinely fresh & interesting, scientific parts were informative & biodiversity was much greater! 9/10

Ep2 was so much better, it's not even funny. The format actually works now; both the prehistoric and modern sequences have room to breathe, and the latter is actually informative. There's some surprises, including what became the MVP species of the episode We're So Beck (lol)🦖
I've seen #WWD2025 episode 1, and... ... it wasn't it 😭 I REALLY wanted to love it. And I'm staying true to what I said about judging it on its own merits. The editing is so bad; it constantly jumps around, and the modern day segments don't really add info of value
