I had a thread on Primeval here at some point. I think it's definitely B-movie type fare, but they commit to it. Once you overlook the not-perfect special effects, it's really quite good. Also ballsy. When was the last time you saw a show willing to kill off main characters? Been a while for me.

Also, the nature of time travel being what it is, I was surprised when they started running into paradoxes... and KEEPING them! Unlike the typical "return to the status quo" thing we see with shows like Star Trek where one person will say, "This universe doesn't feel right, Captain," and then everyone runs around to try and change everything to suit that one person's belief.

Once I watched everything available on streaming, I liked it much better than when I started with the show. I stuck with it because I was housebound with health issues and I'm glad I did, because it's a fun little series. I'm anticipating DVD release of the next season.

I decided to watch Doctor, Doctor after mentioning it, but it seems to not be released on DVD. That's a damn shame.

Have you ever watched M*A*S*H? The first 5 seasons in particular are quite good, but there was excellence throughout. It's not always funny, though.

I second the Psych recommendation. Excellent show.

Scrubs is terrific.

Definitely try NewsRadio, but stop after Season 4. Season 5 is them clumsily trying to carry on after Phil Hartman was murdered.

Soap is very smart but completely wacky.

Doctor, Doctor with Matt Frewer. A bit ahead of its time, which consigned it to an early cancellation.

I would tentatively recommend Sports Night, which is brilliant, but the DVD release utterly ruined it by adding a laugh track. No idea what moron decided that was a good idea. But you might like it if you've never seen it before.

Wouldn't you also have to alter the hips/pelvis of a biped digitigrade creature? I seem to recall that a bird or dinosaur pelvis is canted forward, while ours is mostly vertical.

This second trailer looks like they're merging a couple metaphors together there. Not just the hackneyed "there are some things man was not meant to meddle with" trope, but also touching on things like unnecessary animal experimentation as well as a metaphor for such blots in medical history like the Tuskegee experiments and the treatment of Henrietta Lacks and her family. And maybe a bit of Benedict Arnold thrown in for good measure.

With super-intelligent apes.

I'm there.

Not the one I was thinking of, but here's a video of a helipack.

Edit: here's the Japanese one.

I think this may be the one I was thinking of.

The design is reminiscent of the DoD jetpack from some years ago.

It's definitely cool, but my favorite personal aircraft is still the dual-rotor heli-pack from Japan demonstrated as Oshkosh some time ago (early 90s?).

98. Considering I have nearly every character slot full and have made at least a dozen custom critters for AE, I'm surprised at that number. With the characters who have multiple costumes, I should be at least in the 250 range.

New animations would definitely go a long way toward freshening up existing powersets. Dual Pistols, in particular, could stand to have the more staid handgun animations from the MM set ported over.

Since the powers are already partially in the game, I'd think creating a Whip Melee set (Scrappers, Stalkers, Tanks, Brutes) would be the lowest-impact powerset. A quarter of the set is already there. A level 32 power of Dual Flailing Bullwhips would be awesome, too.
