I should wait until an episode airs on November 3rd before placing a real opinion on it. But so far, it has interested me more than the LBT TV show ever did. No offense or anything. I just prefer these kinds of shows more. The show looks similar to Ben 10 and Danny Phantom, both shows that I like.

This being the case, and from what I saw at that website, I doubt I'm going to like this too increadibly much.

Ever since I got cable, I've been watching every show on CN that I could, and I haven't liked even one of them.  I don't think this will be an exception.  Ben10 was one of my least favorites mainly because I don't like the concept of that sort of fiction.  LBT is different though.  I don't know why exactly.  I just don't like any other cartoons.  They just seem kinda lame to me, no offense intended.  I dunno what it is about LBT, but it's just different than all the other cartoon shows I've ever seen.  Maybe cuz it has no humans? :unsure:

LBT is not one-of-a-kind I can tell you that. There are other cartoons that are mainly animal-based.

Most of what I saw on Cartoon Network I didn't like the slightest, but some of it was alright. I liked Courage, the Cowardly Dog, Camp Lazlo, and, of course, LBT TV.

The trailer said that this will be airing on CBA weekly, so those without cable will still be able to view it.

I know, but I've never seen one quite like LBT before.  Most of them have some sort of weird mission or something.  In LBT, the dino's are just living.

I like shows with the missions. It adds more excitement to the show in my opinion. But I also like shows that have no apparent mission, such as Spongebob, Family Guy, and The Simpsons.

But if you want to see a show that's very similar to LBT, you'll probably like Dink the Little Dinosaur. Just a shame it's not in stores or on TV anymore. You could order it online though.

One thing to point out. LBT movies and the TV show all contain a mission. They are not just the dinos living.

I'll keep an eye on this board, even though the show itself seems pretty lame. I'm also disappointed that all the dinosaurs are the 'classics' like T. Rex and Stegosaurus. I really wish they'd introduce to lesser-known ones such as Agustinia or Stygimoloch.

In Street Sharks, they were permanently changed into shark humanoids, weren't they? In Dino Squad, they can willingy switch from human to dinosaur form and back again. The only resemblance to Street Sharks I'm seeing is the transformation itself, but even that isn't very similar.

In my opinion, the show bears more resemblance to shows like Dinosaucers and Extreme Dinosaurs plot-wise than it does to Street Sharks.

Title: Dino Squad
Post by: DarkHououmon on November 04, 2007, 01:25:27 PM
Here's my review of the episode. However it contains spoilers, so don't read if you don't like spoilers.









DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS!














SPOILER WARNING!






Overall, the episode was pretty good, but it probably could have been better. The animation was good. I didn't see a problem with it. The opening theme was good, and had a really catchy beat, though it can get old after a while. The animation is similar to Liberty Kids I think, since the same company that did that show is now working on DinoSquad. I can't really say much about the voice acting. I'm not really that picky, so many someone else would have better criticism for that.

The characters themselves, I can't say much about since it is still just the first episode. I can't say there's a lot of character exploration in the episode, but it does give us an idea of what these characters are like.

Victor Veloci is turning out to be an interesting villain so far, but I would have to see more episodes to see if he is a worthwhile villain or not. He doesn't appear too much in the episode, but already he reveals his "big master plan" and puts it into motion. Pretty quickly, it's notable of his hatred of humans, yet is still willing to hire humans to help him. I don't think this is too surprising however, since the preview that used to be on the site had already indicated he hired humans. The surprise that came to me is how some humans seem to be willing to help Victor Veloci with his plan and know full well what will happen to the human race if he succeeds. Then again maybe they're only doing it so they will survive, not because they have a similar hatred to mankind as well.

Victor seems to be the most interesting character so far, in my opinion. The other characters don't seem to have too much depth to them at the moment, so hopefully we'll see more of their individual personalities as more episodes come. This is not to say they all act exactly alike in the episode.

However, I should probably start to focus on the quirks of the show. There were some problems I had noticed during the course of the episode. Here they are:

1. The episode seemed to try and fit all these events, all these origins, down in a condensed enough form to fit one episode. The result is that the episode is a bit too fast-faced in my opinion, and some things are just not explained all that well. Things seem to happen too quickly. The origin story, for example, does not attempt to explain much of how Victor and Ms. M were able to survive for so long. The official site states they were in suspended animation, yet there's no explaination on how these two were able to pull it off, especialy for the length of time they've been absent. There is a sort of boss battle at the ending where we get to see them use their dinosaur forms, but due to the short length of time left, we don't get to see too much.

2. The show, in a way, "cheats" in the very first episode. And what I mean by "cheating" is that, in the very first episode, Ms. M does something to the kids that automatically gives them complete control over their dinosaur forms, able to change from human to dinosaur and back with no problem. There are some interesting moments near the beginning where they don't have much control, but they never fully transform, and these sequences don't last very long. What I thought was going to happen was they were going to be trained on how to control the dinosaur forms, but instead they have total control almost right away, so that eliminates some possibilities for the show.

3. While this isn't something I'm too concerned with, it is something a friend of mine had pointed out when he saw the episode. The transformations back into humans happens too quickly. Actually the transformation into a dinosaur happens just as fast. Instead of gradual transformation as I thought the show would have, as indicated by the opening theme, the transformations are usually instant and happen mostly offscreen it seems.

4. The dog transforming into some dog/dinosaur hybrid or mutant seemed rather random and unnecessary. It didn't really add much to the episode. All it did really was reveal that the dog was contaminated with dinosaur DNA as well. And for some odd reason he's able to transform at will as well, even though Ms. M never gave him the power to do so. Something else that was not explained due to the short length of time to explain everything.

5. The last thing I want to point out is the music. I do like the opening theme, as it is rather catchy. However when I heard it later on in the episode, I wasn't sure what to think. When Ms. M gives them the power to control their dinosaur forms, there is a sequence that shows them all transforming (although it doesn't actually happen in real-time, if you know what I mean) and the opening theme song plays. The opening sequence also plays when the dog transforms. It's sort of like in Digimon, how music plays everytime they digivolve. I guess this'll take some getting used to.


But despite these quirks, the episode was still pretty good. A decent start. I just hope the show will make up for these quirks as the series progresses. Maybe the second episode will be better. Since the show is brand new, I'm still willing to give it a chance.

If anyone is interested, the official DinoSquad site has put up the entire first episode available for free viewing. The only catch is you need to register (it's free) and be logged in. I don't know how long they'll keep the episode up though.

Same here. I think the second episode was better paced than the first one, and the characters' personalities seemed to show more. The only thing I didn't like was the time jump. It seemed a good amount of time has passed between the first episode and the second.

Oh man...I can't believe I neglected this for so long. o.o Now I have 5 episodes to review. ^^;; So sorry about that... Anyway here I go... This is gonna be one long post. ^^; I haven't rewatched some of these episodes since their premiere, so this'll all be mostly from memory. I will post up 3 reviews for now. I'll post more later (if I remember).

As usual, spoiler warning. Don't continue reading if you don't want to be spoiled.













WARNING! SPOILERS!
















Episode 2: Growth Potential review:

A definite improvement over the first episode, in my opinion. There's some more character development. And it seemed much better organized. It didn't feel "rushed" like episode 1. This episode focuses on Roger, so he shows more character development than the others. We also get a little insight of what the other characters are like. Buzz, Caruso, and Fiona are shown to be reliant on Roger to fix their stuff, reliant to the point where they seem to expect him to make perfectly working equipment, or fix their stuff, and don't even say thank you. And if something doesn't work right, despite Roger's hard work, they are quick to blame Roger. Roger on the other hand feels like he's being used. He appears to be the kind of character who appreciates a thank you for all his hard work. Then again who wouldn't? ^^;

Victor has more character development here. He is not just like other villains I have seen. He appears to be calm and collected, and rarely gets really angry. He also shows attention to detail when he tries to change the environment, knowing that his precious dinosaurs will have a better chance at survival. And when he ends up loosing the battle, he does not snap, or shout, or anything. Instead he just calmly walks away, saying that he should introduce herbivores before releasing the aggressive strain of plants.

Ms. Moynihan, so far, seems to be just a character there for moral support. She is more understanding than Caruso, Buzz, and Fiona about Roger's work and disappearance. She also cares deeply for the environment, as revealed in this episode when she does not allow Roger to use pesticide to combat the vines, and helps him find a safer alternative: ice. Max is also understandable, and when Roger leaves the lighthouse, he is the one who gives support to Roger. Max comes off as a sympathetic character, one you could rely on if you're feeling down.

Rump seems to be just a nuisance character put there for comic relief. He seems to have control over his transformations, but only does so to create mischief. Rump's action of transforming to try to eat a laser Roger was working on, it also shows how uncaring Buzz, Caruso, and Fiona could be. Despite Roger's cries for help, they simply stared and laughed as if it was a joke. The trio probably are the type of people who think Roger can fix anything and doesn't need any help.

Despite having a short chat with Moynihan, Buzz still felt bitter towards Roger for not fixing their guns, and when Roger said he needed to get to the lab when vines were engulfing the city, remarked "More toys that don't work", to which he recieved a nasty glare from Roger. This seems to show that Buzz is the character most likely to hold a grudge, even for silly things. But despite Caruso's, Fiona's, and Buzz's shortcomings early in this episode, they do have a change of heart in the end, so they aren't all bad.

It's revealed that the kids are not allowed to transform in public where everyone can see them. However they have no choice, so they transform anyway. It's a wonder no one saw them transform. It's also revealed that Max may not be the brightest character in the group. He saves a couple from the vines as a T-Rex, and stands really close to them, staring at them, and they run off screaming, to which he said, "I'm the bad guy?" It's also revealed that they can talk in dinosaur form, telepathically that is. And they have deeper voices as dinosaurs.

What I liked about this episode is that we do get to see more of the kids' personalities, as well as some more of Victor's personality. The epsiode felt more complete, not so rushed. And mutant mammals was a surprise. I wasn't expecting that..then again, look at Rump. ^^; However as with anything, there are a few things about it I did not like. The episode seemed to "skip" sometime after episode 1. It's probably been a few weeks, even a few months, since episode 1, so we don't really see how they developed their skills over time. My other complaint is that they overuse the transformation scenes a lot in this episode, mostly with Roger. He's transformed and detransformed so many times you just get sick of it quickly.

But the episode still impressed me with its improvement over episode 1. And it is a shock when Moynihan's eyes transformed at the end of the episode. I wonder what this means... Anyway, that ends my review for this episode.








Episode 3: Tangled Web review:

I really liked this episode, and again due to more character development, and improvement over the last 2 episodes. As the last episode focused on Roger, this one focuses on Caruso, and reveals more of his personality. And again more character development for the other characters. That's good. Caruso is turning out to be a character you could probably hate for his deceptive and selfish ways. He puts himself before the team when he lies to his friends many times in this episode. He lies to Roger about what he was doing on his computer. He lies to Fiona when she asks him if he checked a tunnel in the sewer when they were hunting mutants. He lies to all of them when he stands in line for a TV show. He deliberately abandons a mission without thoroughly checking out the sewer and ends up missing one mutant. And all this just so he can become famous. That seems to be all he cares about.

Caruso's thirst for fame is so strong that he is willing to transform into his dinosaur self, a stegosaurus. He is the most bold of the characters, and the least afraid to transform in front of someone. He was going to transform in the audition so he could get his own TV show. But Caruso does have qualities that are likeable. He is willing to admit when he's wrong, and is willing to turn down fame for the better cause. After he is lectured by Max on his lying, he has a change of heart in the audition and steps down, a move that showed Caruso had a sense of maturity.

Victor is able to detect anomalies on his computer, which means no mutation can hide from him..except his perfect dinosaurs. This is the first time Victor has seen his perfect dinosaurs, at least on screen, but what he wants to do with them remains unclear. He is unaware that these dinosaurs are really teenagers, and whether or not he'll find out later remains to be seen. He is shown to be a great actor as he lies to some people to keep them from learning the truth about mutations and such. He seems to really have great control over his emotions, which is what I like in a villain. He, so far, has not exhibited hostile behavior typical of other villains I've seen.

In this episode we see giant cockroaches and giant spiders, and find out that Buzz has a love for them, and even attempts to keep them as pets. We also learn that Fiona hates spiders and cockroaches, and refuses to let Buzz take them home. This seems to be a typical girl thing, as I usually see female characters have a hatred of insects, while male characters love them.

Ms. Moynihan appears to be a disciplinary character as well, as she punishes Caruso by giving him singing lessons and not allowing him to stop until she says so. Caruso's singing alone is almost like a punishment for the rest of the Dino Squad, as even poor Rump can't handle it, and again he transforms but just so he can cover his ears.

If memory serves right, in this episode, or in the last episode, it is hinted that Moynihan doesn't transform into a raptor because of her old age. Whether or not this is because she finds it harder to change or because her old age leaves her weak and less able to fight is unknown so far. But as hinted at the end of episode 2, we may see Moynihan transform one day.

There isn't many negative things I can say about this episode. They cut down on the transformations, so it's no longer an eye-sore. The story was good, and really portrayed the characters well, in my opinion. If there's anything I can say about this episode that could be improved, it's this: The kids seem to spend a lot of time with Moynihan with no explaination. I forgot to mention this in the review of episode 2. It feels like the kids just moved in with Moynihan, and I almost believed that until the end of ep 2 had them going home. There does not seem to be any explaination for this, however it is probably so they can watch out for danger. But it does feel weird that they are almost always seen in Moynihan's lighthouse, hanging out, lounging around as if they owned the place.

Seeing this episode made me even more interested in the show, and is the episode that got me hooked on the series. A worthwhile watch, in my opinion.  And that ends my review for this episode.








Episode 4: T-Rex Formation review:

Really interesting episode, with a twist I was not expecting from this show. Once again the focus is on Caruso. And once again, Caruso is attempted to do something simply for fame. but this time, he has another motivation: his parents. This is the first time we see any of the kids' parents on screen. Caruso's personality is developed a bit more, and he's shown to be willing to please his parents. His thirst for fame and his eagerness to please his parents leads Caruso to cheating, using his Dino Powers to win the competition. I'm amazed at how oblivious people are to this, because at one time, Caruso transforms his arm into a Stegosaurus leg and a team mate saw it, but no one else did, and it was out in the open, too.

And on cheating, Caruso is the type of person who will cheat to succeed. In the beginning of the episode, he uses his Stegosaurus tail to grab a piece of paper to get answers from, but is caught later on when Moynihan notices the similarities. Whether or not he's punished remains uknown. Caruso seems to care mostly for himself because he quits the Dino Squad simply because they did not approve of him using his powers to join the football team. He acts as if he's the victim.

Another side of Moynihan is seen in this episode. In the past couple episodes she's shown to be a well-reserved character who hasn't raised her voice for any reason, even when she was mad. But in this episode, she lets loose and cheers Caruso on during the try-outs, and I think she overdoes it and has a couple people, I think Caruso's parents, staring at her in shock. This took me by surprise because Ms. Moynihan does not seem to be the type of person who would do that.

This episode reveals just how dangerous it is to "Go Dino" even if it's just a small amount. Even the minimul transformation Caruso does during the tryouts is picked up by Victor's machines, alerting him to what's going on. Now this is where Victor shows how oblivious he can be. For some reason, the signature appearing on a football field with football players did not make him realize his dinosaurs were human. Instead he simply remains confused. So much for being an intelligent villain. ^^; Later on in the episode, he transforms a couple humans, students to be precise, into mutant Raptors, marking the first time teenagers other than the Dino Squad transform. However they are at the mercy of the dinosaur mind and are completely taken over, and their DNA is easily removed, unlike members of the Dino Squad.

Victor almost discovering the truth was really interesting. This is the first time he sees the van the teens drive around with while on missiosn. It's revealed that his own vehicle is capable of stealth mode, and goes completely invisible. If Caruso hadn't seen it, there would be no way the Dino Squad would have known they were leading Veloci straight to their hideout, the lighthouse. Victor also nearly succeeds in capturing Caruso and taken back to his lab. He is, fortunately, rescued by his teammates.

Caruso does go after Veloci to stop him while he was still in stealth mode, which shows that Caruso, despite his arrogant ego, still cares about his team mates. Probably the most shocking thing happens in the end, when he reveals his secret to his parents and confessed the truth about him cheating. Now this is the twist I mentioned earlier. I do know that in some series of secret identities, someone finds out. However it's usually much later in the series. For someone to find out a secret identity, let alone parents, so quickly in a show just wasn't something I expected to happen. And his parents were accepting of this as well, and did not try to stop Caruso from rejoining the Dino Squad.

This is the first time we see Victor fully transform into a Velociraptor, although we see no transformation sequence. Victor is becoming more determined to find his perfect dinosaurs. Probably the most uneasy thing I've seen is Victor change back into human in front of the lighthouse and looks at it, and does nothing. He could very well know something is going on there, but this remains to be seen.

Overall it's a great episode. Victor nearly finding out about the Dino Squad, and nearly capturing one of the team members was shocking, especially for being so early in the show. And a nice twist with the parents finding out so early as well.





And that concludes my reviewing for now.

It takes a while to get used to the navigation, but if you look through the site, you should find Dino Video. It should have one full episode available. So far, for weeks, it showed the same episode "Growth Potential". You can view it for free. Hopefully it'll load up for you.

The site hasn't changed the episode in weeks. In the first week they had the first episode, then the second week they put up Growth Potential. It hasn't changed since, for some odd reason.

I have been looking to see if any other place has episodes available, but so far nothing. I am thinking of uploading the episodes for those who are interested in seeing the show but unable to watch the show.

I thought I mentioned this before. I guess not. ^^; The first episode reveals that Moynihan is a Velociraptor. But she never transformed so far, other than the eye transformation.

Finally found the episode where they had it hidden.  It looks like a decently written series.  Though I guess like buffy everyone who sees a dino or anything odd magicaly forgets it so no one knows there is anything odd is going on, like in buffy no one knows there are vampires, demons around.  Normal for urban fantasy but one thing that annoys me a lot.

Title: Dino Squad
Post by: DarkHououmon on December 29, 2007, 05:23:59 PM
Hmm. There's going to be a delay. There's a problem with 2 of the episodes. One of them has closings, revealing the names of locations near my place (not something I want to have showing up on a vid) and another episode has an audio delay. And another problem is that it's taking Sony Vegas an extremely long time to save just 10 minutes of a vid. When saving an entire episode it said it would take an hour and 20 minutes, so you'd think cutting away about half the vid would shrink this, but it actually made it go slower, now it says it'll take almost 2 hours just to save 10 minutes.

As much as I didn't want to, I'm gonna be forced to rely on WMM to save the other episodes into about 3 parts. Episodes 7 and 8 I'm not sure what I'm going to do. WMM doesn't have the power to fix their problems, and Sony's just taking too long.

Thanks for your hard work.  Guess you have to do some experimenting and testing to find out which programs and such are best and such.
Title: Dino Squad
Post by: DarkHououmon on December 29, 2007, 06:38:01 PM
You're welcome.

WMM can save full eps so I can use that program to save eps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9. Well each of these already have the full eps on them and are in a format that can be uploaded, however they contain commercial break clips and other things that I don't think anyone here would want to see. ^^; So WMM is being used to remove those.

At this rate, sometime tonight I may have a few episodes available, but 7 and 8 may take longer.

Title: Dino Squad
Post by: Petrie. on January 01, 2008, 10:35:57 PM
I don't believe I have a reason to get used to it.  Episode 1 is probably all I'll watch.  The premise is interesting to say the least; a superior species is in the same taste as Felidae.  What I think hurts this series the most, at least if the first episode was a sign of things to come, is how fast it goes.  Every plot addition moves fast, and just happens...no explanation, no real development.  For a 13 part half season I don't know what the writers are trying to do but I don't think rushing excessively is a good move unless they're trying to cram a ton of stuff into a short amount of time (not a good thing either).

I do thank you for at least offering us the opportunity to watch this beyond the air date. :)

Post by: DarkHououmon on January 02, 2008, 01:55:46 AM
I don't think I'll post up reviews for the remaining episodes. But after seeing the 9 eps they have to offer so far, here's my list of Pros and Cons for this show based on my opinions.


Pros:

-The premise is interesting. A dinosaur wanting to change the world back into the way it was when dinosaurs roamed the earth. True not an original plot as it's been used before, but it's not an overused premise (unless someone can correct me).

-The show does not rely on potty humor to get a laugh. Unlike some shows I've seen, this one actually makes an effort at humor, not cheap potty humor to get a quick laugh.

-The main villain is not the type to go "ARGH! THWARTED AGAIN!" Victor has not often shown anger, a trait that I like for a villain. And while he despises humans, he is willing to work with them, and he doesn't go out of his way to deliberately harm anyone, whether they work for him or not. He does seem to like spreading trouble as shown in episode 8, but he is not the type of villain motivated simply by causing pain. He has also been shown to be quite clever, being able to flush out Buzz just by knowing what state he was in.

-The telepathy, in my opinion, was a good move for the show. Being able to turn into dinosaurs as a power does seem cool, but would be useless if there was no way to communicate. And it wouldn't make sense for the dinosaurs to talk with their mouths, so telepathy seems to work better. The first time I've seen this form of communication was in Animorphs.

-This is the first show I've seen where a character's secret identity was revealed within the third episode, instead of a much later episode as other shows I've seen do. While it did feel a bit random, and I wasn't expecting it, I did feel it was a good move, because it told me there was a chance that Victor would discover the truth about them (something I am looking forward to). This also could lead to some interesting situations, such as in episode 8 when Max is caught on film and Caruso is asked by a film director to reveal Max's name, and he must choose between fame or his friend.


Cons:

-While I like Victor, he just seems to oblivious sometimes. One moment of stupidity on his part is when he gets a dino signal that shows him a picture of football players, and he doesn't even attempt to make the connection. Such obliviousness doesn't make Victor such an intelligent villain. Another problem I see with him is that, despite being the main antagonist, he mostly operates from the sidelines, and almost never confronts the Dino Squad (human or dinosaur) directly.

-The show introduces itself with an episode with a faster pace than the remainder episodes, in my opinion. The first episode acted as an introduction, and I'm all right with that. But it tried to explain too much too quickly, and thus may have discouraged some people from continuing to watch the series. Not to mention how Victor and Joanne survived all that time is not fully explained, other than they went into suspended animation.

-Despite seeing 9 episodes, there's still so much about the characters I don't know. I'm not saying there's no character development; I'm just saying they could go more in depth with them. The character episodes fix this problem somewhat by focusing on a character. The characters I find the most difficult to describe are Fiona and Max as they seem to be the characters less focused on, while Caruso seems to be most focused on (about 4 of the episodes so far were Caruso episodes).

-I felt that them gaining control of their dinosaur powers right away was a bit cheap, and rather disappointing. It would have been fun to see them struggle to gain control of their ability, and probably would have added more depth to the show, in my opinion.

-There are loopholes/inaccuracies in the show. To make some examples: the show goes with the stereotypical view of Velociraptor, being man-sized, when the real thing was only 3 ft tall, Stegosaurus only had four tail spikes, Pteranodon wasn't a dinosaur nor did it have teeth or a tail, and Styracosaurus did not have large brow horns. There are more but I won't go into detail. In the first episode we are introduced to a character who has just joined Veloci's ranks, but is never seen again and there's no explaination to where he's gone. In episode 7, the team trains in cold weather where Moynihan says they'll stay warm if they keep moving, but in reality, because they are cold-blooded dinosaurs, they would die even if they move around (according to my brother anyway). There's probably other loopholes/inaccuracies that I missed.


Overall, the show is good. It can be better, there are some things that can be improved on it. But I find it rather enjoyable, and worth the watch.

Using their breath is a pretty stupid idea. Guess the writers were drunk when they write that scene, or were to busy and paid someone off the street to write the scene for them.

I disagree. While admit that wasn't my fav part of the episode, I didn't think it was really stupid or anything, and I doubt the writers were "drunk" or "too busy". But as the saying goes, to each his own.

Likely off topic but did you see my earlier post about my seeing on tvshowsondvd the show coming out on dvd, at least the first 2 dvd's are suppose to on April 1st? Seems pretty fast to me, but I am not current on how fast things go from tv to dvd.

And yeah I did see the link about that. It is rather fast for them to have a DVD out already, since the show is only a few months old.

We'll find out when the final 4 eps of season 1 airs. Supposedly there's going to be a second season due the fall of this year, with 13 more eps. If I were to make a prediction, then I'd say that Victor will find out the truth in one of the final 4 eps of season 1, and season 2 will be focused on him trying to track down the kids, making their mission more difficult. Or Victor could find out sometime in season 2, maybe even in the final couple eps. Or he could not find out at all, which would be a disappointment.

Quote from: Kor,Jan 8 2008 on  09:43 PM
I wonder why he can't make the connection.  5 dinos, 5 kids, both are always together, hmm, maybe there is a connection.  And with the other kids at school, also, there are rumors of dinos being seen, and these 5 kids have these dino shaped motorcycles and helmets, hmm, I wonder if there is a connection.  Also, these 5 never use to hang around together, in fact some seemed to dislike each other (based upon what Buzz said to I think it was Max in the pilot) then for some reason after that field trip they are great friends, hmm.
I believe they became great friends because they were forced to become a team when they obtained the dinosaur powers. At first they were only working together because Moynihan told them to. As they continued to work together though they started to get to know each other and eventually became friends. We don't know how much time has passed between episode 1 and 2.

Now as for the connection, I think there is an explaination for that, now that I think of it. Victor has, several times, seen the perfect dinosaurs, but he rarely sees the teens. In fact the only time I believe Victor ever saw the kids, at least from what we've seen in the show, is in episode 5, 7, and 8. In episode 7 he sees Buzz and episode 8 he sees Max. Episode 5 is the only time he sees all 5 students, and he does not see the perfect dinosaurs before or after that. His assisant did see the perfect dinosaurs, and perhaps he would have made the connection had he not been so afraid of Veloci.

Now I could say Victor has seen the students in episode 4 when he was following them to the lighthouse, but then again all he saw was the SUV; he did not see the students enter it, so he did not know if it had anything to do with dinosaurs. He probably wasn't even expecting it, since he said the dinosaur signal had disappeared.

From what I remember, Victor never actually sees the motorcycles. Well he might have seen Max's motorcycle but I highly doubt it. The only thing of the motorcycles he's seen are the tire tracks. He knows there are five, but the same number is not enough to make a valid connection.

So far Victor has not seen anything that would lead him to believe his perfect dinosaurs were human, now that I think of it. The only real hints he gets are in episodes 4 and 7. In episode 4, he gets a dinosaur signal coming from a football game, and in episode 7 he sees Buzz run into a shed, and when he destroyed it with his feet, out came a Pteranodon.

Those are my thoughts.

I don't really see your point. As I stated before, Victor only saw the five kids together once, in episode 5. He wouldn't know anything of them not being friends at first, and then suddenly hanging out together.

Now if you mean students becoming suspicious of that, I'm not sure if that would be cause for alarm. After all, I doubt they suddenly became friends overnight. It was probably more of a gradual thing. Nothing suspicious about that, in my opinion.

They hang out only with each other suddenly now.

I'm not so sure. They probably do hang out with other people, but we just don't see it. We don't see much of what goes on in the school, from what I recall. The show focuses mostly on their missions and spending time at Moynihan's lighthouse.

Yeah I look foward to seeing it when it put up :) that the only way I can watch it at the mo if someone records it.
Hopefully I'll be able to record the episode.

I've also checked the schedule again and on Feb 8, there's yet another new episode, "A Mole Lotta Trouble". So it does seem that the final four episodes of season 1 will air in February.

I should have the final four eps on Veoh by the end of February.

Oh dear, some bad news. For some reason my computer will not recognize the disc the final four episodes are on. I don't know what the problem is. The disc runs just fine on the other DVD Players, and the DVD Drive does recognize other recorded discs. I'm not sure what to do.

Aww, I wanted to post the news. :P:  lol
Anyway, I'm glad they are continuing the series.  :lol:

*goes and watch episode 14*

Post by: Amaranthine on August 05, 2008, 04:40:41 PM
I just saw the first episode of it. :)

I think it's a pretty decent show, it's definitely a lot better then some other shows that are out now days. :p I may watch it if I'm bored or something.

I have to say though DH, whenever I saw the teens turn into dinosaurs, the dinosaurs reminded me A LOT of your drawings. That's probably because I saw your drawings of the dinosaurs first, then I saw the show. :p

Yeah, I drew a good number of fanart. It's fun to draw in that style.

It seems there is another new episode called "Runaway Ugly".
http://www.kewlcartoons.com/show/watch/DinoSquad (http://www.kewlcartoons.com/show/watch/DinoSquad)

Is it me or do they update a new episode every week. o.O

Post by: DarkHououmon on August 11, 2008, 11:54:55 AM
It looks like that's exactly what they are going to do. I mentioned this to Clint last week and said that it is common for companies to show episodes before they have been aired on TV. It seems Kewlopolis is going to upload the new season online before airing the eps on TV. Judging from "The World According to Liam" and "Runaway Ugly", it seems that they will upload a new episode every Monday.

Well Dino Squad season 2 is now over. I must say, the finale was really interesting. This finale marks the first time Moynihan has transformed.

I may still upload the episodes (once they finish airing on TV) on Veoh, however, there is a problem. Veoh has now limited their viewing, so even if I upload the episodes, they may still not be available to those out of the US (and possibly Canada).

Any suggestions?

I finished uploading season 2. I have all Dino Squad episodes up now (season 1 and 2). Just to note, due to a synching problem when I tried to upload lower quality episodes (like I did with season one), I was forced to upload the original, uneditted files for all of season 2. The quality is higher than in season 1, but includes extra stuff, mostly bits of commercials.
