Hey all,
My computer clock went a little bit strange at some point so I ended up chopping off the first couple of minutes of this week's episode.

Anywho, here's the link:

Well i dont know bout you all but um i think it is obvious those 3 raptor dinos are toast that took a unwanted swim

chomper 3 bad sharp teeth zero. Regardless itthey would be wise to think twice about takeing on chomper ever again.

Pretty good ep i liked how it was pretty well centered on chomper though i was hoping they would flesh out his story a bit more.

The carnosaur baby sceen was funny remided me of the first time we seen chomper and he bit cera heheh.

Either my eyes were playing tricks with me or this was in higher quality than any of the others you've given, Action9000.

Anyways, nice episode. It had a nice plot to work with. You know, this seems to work with my theory a bit of how Sharpteeth tend to behave in the Mysterious Beyond.

You see, in the Mysterious Beyond, I believe it to be a dog eat dog world, literally.

: Simply, Sharpteeth in the Mysterious Beyond only live with their own sharptooth species. (fastbiter, ridgeback, etc.) As such, they would eat any other sharptooth species if they got the chance.

My theory also works with it being in some cases that they go after their own species as well. In rights of mating, I would believe it to be a literial fight to the death, and after the whole fight and mating ritual, guess what the female's first meal to help nurish the growth of the eggs of her future children is? Yep, the now dead male that lost.

In the same idea, they would even eat the younger member of their own species if they weren't of the same herd. As such, it makes sense with Red Claw wanting to have Chomper for dinner.

However, this makes me wonder how Screech and Thud got out of Red Claw trying to eat them. Maybe Screech and Thud made a deal of some kind?

Anyways, back to the episode.

The scene where Chomper tried to make friends with someone younger definately reminded me of LBT 2's scene where at the end of "You're One of Us Now", baby Chomper bit Cera.

Poor Chomper. Now he knows what it's like to get bitten by the tail. I bet he really regrets what he did to Cera now. :^.^:

I liked the songs, but I'm still waiting for something completely original. Something with new lyrics and tune, please.

Well Action9000, expect the same old PM by Sunday.

Until then, see ya! :^.^:

This episode is pretty neat. I like that it's centered on Chomper and how he has to cope with the accusations of some inhabitants. (On a side note: It's also nice to see the Great Day of Sharing being referenced here ^^)Chomper, in his naivety, tries to make Sharpteeth nice so he won't be considered "dangerous" anymore.
Another thing I really like is the sniffer thingy going on. In general, there was nothing that bugged me. Not particularly great but enjoyable episode, no doubt!

Actually, it would be so mighty awesome if Chomper ever did get Sharpteeth to cooperate. True, it would suck for the Leaf Eaters, at first, as they'd have to deal with multiple different kinds of attacks, but, on the other hand, it could help get something I secretly believe Littlefoot wants deeply, an end to kind separation in the Leaf Eaters.

All the ones that would be like Topps and refuse to join up with our kinds would be wiped out, with only those forming combined herds like the Great Valley surviving. It could make the whole dino world a lot more pleasant.

However, the fact that the kid one was mean to Chomper was kinda upsetting.

I'd love to hear your reasoning on that, as I never found anything in any of the movies that could suggest that. He's always about working together, and helping others, and getting people to see past their prejudices, like with Ali, or with the Valley and the tinysauruses.

That, in itself, shows he can't be for it.

...lol. I had just read that sentence the totally the wrong way. Somehow I read end of kid seperation as the opposite of what it meant.

Oh, well. can't undo that now.

I still am sad that that kid didn't even want to be nice to Chomper. Maybe if Chomper wasn't speaking in Leaf Eater, it might have gone differently.

Assorted thoughts:
At 2:47 into the episode, Ducky says "Yes, yes, yes!" instead of "Yep, yep, yep!"

The "Time of Great Giving" is mentioned again in this episode. First time it's been brought up since LBT 3. Yay continuity!

When Chomper encounters the fast biters, one of them has similar colouring to Screech, and one of them has similar colouring to Thud. It made me wonder who the third, reddish fast biter was supposed to be...

...then I realized that they were completely different fast biters altogether.

Still, it gave me the idea that it would've been interesting if Red Claw had had a third fast biter companion with him in the series. Possible fanfic inspiration?

Speaking of which, I notice this is the first episode where Red Claw shows up by himself, without Screech and Thud.

Lastly, here's a random image of Ducky and Spike.
