        What I love so much about this episode is that I’m 99% sure the actor in the suit can’t see a damn thing. He’s just bumbling around in the desert heat, trying to hit his marks, while straining to hear Shatner and the director through all the sweat and foam rubber.

          Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it’s war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

          Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can’t bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.

    Hmm I dunno, take a look at any bird-of-paradise or male peacock and tell me that the dinosaur’s descents aren’t beautiful.

    The reality is we have a very loose idea of what dinosaurs really looked like, because what remains of them is so many millions of years old that it’s decayed completely, or if we’re exceptionally lucky - been fossilized. Feathers, skin, colours, fluorescences, bio-luminescence - 99.9999% lost to time, and could have been very beautiful.
