I surmise Mr. Threehorn objected to Ruby and Chomper living in the Valley.I'm quite sure you're right. :rolleye
@Goldenwind Yeah, I'd kind of forgotten that brief explanation for Chomper and Ruby in the valley. I picked up something interesting on this rewatch, though: Ruby said something along the lines of "I'm glad your folks let us stay in the Secret Caverns, especially with Red Claw and his fast biters terrorizing the Mysterious Beyond." The word that jumped out at me was let. It's like some dinosaurs hadn't wanted to let Chomper and Ruby into the valley at all, with them being outsiders, but they eventually reached a compromise that had them staying in the caverns of the Great Wall, living not in the Mysterious Beyond but not necessarily in the valley, either. This would also explain why they have to find a cave to sleep in as opposed to sleeping in the open valley like everyone else.That's pretty interesting! :olittlefoot Although I still would have liked a episode where we see Chomper and Ruby's arrival to the Great Valley. ^^'
Rainbowfaces sighting, shooting star. :rainbowwaveYay!! :Mo
Petrie: Me made the mountain mad! Alliteration!
I loved the premise that Cera was trying to get a diamond to replace the one she lost for Tria. Cera tries to make amends and gives a wholehearted sorry, she is really growing in this series.You have a good point here that I didn't think of initially! Cera did show her more caring side in this episode, which is great! :cerahappy It shows how much closer she's become to Tria, too.
As for the Rhett hate, I don't get it, but this is coming from the guy who likes the silliness of yellowbellies. :PCeraI'm also guilty of enjoying the yellowbellies. :PCera Although I would never call LBT XIII one of my favorite sequels, it's just so absurd that it really can be funny! It's not as if it pretends that the yellowbellies are anything but ridiculous--the Gang's reactions to them are always priceless! :lol
It's funny how the portrayal of the Gang varies between the TV show and the movies, isn't it? The TV show put Spike to better use so far, but Petrie (one of my favorite characters, too) got downgraded for sure. :(petrie
My inner paleontologist:It's funny how the portrayal of the Gang varies between the TV show and the movies, isn't it? The TV show put Spike to better use so far, but Petrie (one of my favorite characters, too) got downgraded for sure. :(petrie
I have loved Spike’s characterization in the Series, but I agree Petrie is as you said “one dimensional” at times. Journey of the Brave contrasts starkly with Petrie becoming Digger Emperor, but in the series he’s just a fraidy bird?

Bird? :rhett_shocked
*twitches*
Bird?? :bestsharptooth
Just kidding, I know you weren't serious. :lol Back on topic now, Petrie was indeed just a fraidy "bird" in this series. I don't think there was ever one arc involving him that wasn't about him getting over some fear. C'mon, why did that need rehashed so many times? We already saw in LBT XII how brave Petrie really could be, and that was the Petrie I wanted to see more of.
Petrie loses mother to land slude over snuggling stick. I am so not liking Petrie in this series.
Overall a decent episode. I felt Petrie’s arch was strong eith having to move to a new nest, but the Tricia swimming subplot was lackluster. Cera in these epusodes seems to be getting the short end of stick story wise (no pun intended lol). For me the beat moment was Chomper leaping into mud slude, and chewing through mud to save Petrie’s Momma. Chomper is a hero. :)Chomper was the best part of this episode for sure! If there was one thing this series did right, it was Chomper! :chompysmile
Sorry if I'm disturbing anything by butting in here, but Saro did seem selfish when Grandpa Longneck said he was staying for his family. I mean, what was he supposed to do, leave Littlefoot and Grandma? I don't really know if this episode taught that this is not what you do when someone does something you didn't like.
When Ducky and Chomper break away from the rest of the group and Chomper falls to the ground, he's got this really weird, crazed grin on his face... :bestsharptoothHaha, wow, he does. I didn't even notice that the first time, so I went back to rewatch that particular segment. XD
YESS--sharptooth subtitles! We haven't seen those since LBT V! :celebrateOh, you're right. Interesting. I didn't pick up on that either. Nice observation.
Ruby: "You've gotta take the good with the bad. Otherwise...you won't get to take anything!" :lolThat's actually a good insight there. Ruby has a way of saying things that border on Captain Obvious, yet are insightful at the same time.
I love the non-lyric music in this series, I would buy an album of it with its Jamaican, Bahamian, and tropical tunes.I agree; it's great. :cheers
Now I'm thinking about rewatching TV series writing and write my opinion about each episode.
At about 3:30, the former profile pic of @ImpracticalDino suddenly jumps out at me. :lolOh, haha, I forgot about that.
Cera is Ceranezer Scrooge.Lol!
I enjoyed "My Reality". One of the better songs so far. Nice and catchy. :yes Even if it does use the exact same melody as "Fix Your Tooth" and "Do Anything". :pAnd now they use it again for "Sniff Him Out". :p :p
@StardustSoldier
AT LAST!!!
CONGRATULATIONS, Stardust!!! :)littlefoot :CeraHAPPY :duckyhappy :petrieLOL :^^spike :chompysmile :RubyCurious :celebrate
With finishing watching all LBT video media. :)
And I see your favorite episode is still Escape from the Mysterious Beyond?
(I couldn't find your review on this episode in its own discusson thread, but it appeared you wrote reviews on some episodes here in this thread for some reason, not in their own discussion threads)
So, what's your general opinion on TV series?
Lol that is what I was thinking.
Ducky: "Your smell is not so bad, no, no, no." As she and everyone else hold their noses. Real convincing! :PCera
First time we see Ducky’s Mom in series.
@Gentle Sharptooth Actually she appeared briefly in Starday Celebration.
