Best new show on TV.
The premise is simple: start off detailing a particular paleontological find (all dinosaurs so far, though next week is about a Cenozoic shark fighting whales) where dinosaurs seem to have met a violent end. Then talk about the dinosaurs, comparing their strengths and weaknesses, and come up with a likely scenario for how the battle went down. And, finally, end with an awesome CG recreation of the fight in all its bloody gory. (Though last night's new episode was set up differently, probably because having four species and nine individuals involved would've taken too long the other way.)
I thought from the title that it would be "Which dinosaur would win in each theoretical fight?" However, it's much more intelligently done than that.
The Comic-Con giveaway bags were kinda cheapo, but this show is freaking awesome. Discuss its amazingness.
