I remember when I was a kid and had no idea how dinosaur species worked... I assumed Rooter had been his father, and his speech on "Not all of us arrive together in the end" was also in regards to his long lost son.  I mean hey, they were both green and had horns, right?  They MUST be related...


Of course now I know that can't be, but I do feel like at least Rooter was someone who lost someone dear to him.  

Anyways sorry that's not what this topic is about... IMO they either died or just headed off without him maybe thinking that the egg would never hatch.  As Ducky said, he was late.  At least he'll always have Ducky's family.

I think maybe the last option in the poll is correct.  It may be, who knows.  ;)

^that option just asked to be voted just for the lolz :p

Spike parents more than likely died either in the earthshake or got killed by a sharptooth. We'll never know more than that and I'm fine with it :)

hmmm, maybe if the tv series returns, maybe an episode on how spike's parents died/what happened to them/where are they now?

At the moment it's more than unlikely that the tv-series ever gets continued. But true they could do that but they'd also have to do it for Cera's mother and siblings, Ducky's father (we see him in LBT 5 but he was never given any lines) or Petrie's father.

I think it's safe to assume that Spike's biological parents are dead. Otherwise they wouldn't abandon their egg (which lay in a nest, BTW. It didn't get lost or got carried away).

The opportunity for Spike’s parents to make an appearance was The Big Freeze. In fact, that was a perfect writing opportunity to have Spike choose between his adoptive mom (Ducky’s Mom)  and his own birth parents. Alas, this story arch was not explored, so I am left to surmise that Spike’s folks have either perished in The Great Earthshake, or they are featured oneday in a sequel (highly unlikely IMHO).
