Re: Dragons on Animal Planet March 20

"Dragons" made its North American debut last night. As was discussed 
last month when it was shown in Europe, it had some appeal. However, I 
wish that the makers of Walking With... and other spinoffs would get 
away from the variations on a Bambi theme for a plot.

As Martin Baeker pointed out in his review in February, the science 
terrible. The body was thawed, everyone but the lead scientist wore a 
mask (and his flowing hair might have been contained in a real lab 
situation--or restaurant), methods for extracting the gases were 
hap-hazard, many other things.

The last half-hour "making of" program was a lot more interesting, 
especially the interview with John Sibbick.
