"A Few Good Dinosaurs"

General
Journal tittle taken from actual episode name from "Extreme Dinosaurs".
If the first sentence didn't gave it away this journal has to do with that long-forgotten(?) show. A few days ago I watched what I think were ALL the episodes (52 of them) on Netflix through my Wii and I enjoyed it very much. So... this journal is gonna be about my thoughts regarding the show.
Rating - 8/10 Dinosaurs that kick ass, are buff and clothed lightly... its like a dream come true for muscle-reptile lovers like me but it still had a few things I didn't liked/agreed.
Favorite Dinosaurs:
1) Haxx - I was expecting to have Stegz as my #1 favorite but Haxx... he just stole my heart a few good times. I just loved everything about him. His color, "clothes", bad temper, voice and his lack of "IQ" were just too damn adorable and cute to me.
2) Stegz - Even if he didn't get 1st place I still love Stegs for a lot of things that are basically the same as Haxx but with a few exceptions like species, smartness.
3) Bullzeye - I honestly didn't expect to like him so much but his "unique head", "kiddish" attitude and sonic screech (which I didn't like at first but now I do) really won me over quick.
4) Ridge - Ridge... he stole my heart ASAP but with only 2 episodes of him I was not able to give him a higher rank/place All I know is LOVED his Australian accent, his species, his awesome way of clothing and his awesome "boots".
5) Spitter - I liked that he was the brains behind the raptors, his spitting equipment and his screaming/way of talking. He also had a strange but likable color for a raptor.
Things that "Irked" me about the show:
1 - Spike's, Spitter's and Bullzeye's arm/wrist accessories seemed to be kinda big or inconvenient sometimes which made me wonder how they do anything with them like giving high fives, punching or even grabbing stuff. That also leaves me stumped as to why they had that if they barely used it like Bullzeye claw-glove and Spikes "arm cannon".
2 - T-Bone's (my least favorite dino, sorry guys) face always looked weird to me to ever really like him that much. I love ALL the dinosaurs but he was at the bottom of my list cuz of the face-thing and his serious voice/disposition which Im well aware fitted him nicely for being the leader but still wasn't my cup of tea. His clothing was thing I liked the most.
3 - There was a little too much "gum to teeth ratio" a few times in the show with Spike, T-Bone and Spitter's mouth.
4 - In the first few episode and some in between I didn't like how Spitter's contraption/tank/tubes were destroyed thus rendering him helpless.
5 - It made no sense to me how Stegz, T-Bone and Hardrock (I think) used those grappling hooks from their bracers. Specially Stegz since he only had spiked bracers. Bullzeye and Spike were the ones who made more sense using them.
6 - Everyone but Bad Rap seems to had a "special move" and such. Unless you count his nastyness I guess.
7 - In a few episodes (like the 1st one) everyone seemed to know the names of each other when it came to meeting new people and such. (I could be wrong on this one though)
8 - In 1-2 episode the editors seem ti have gotten lazy and used past-episode scenes which didn't fit well. 1 of those episodes was were the Raptors take over an Eco-dome.
9 - The Raptors constant obsession to turn the planet into a "Raptor Paradise" got old kinda quick on me even though they tried various things for that.
10 - I didn't like how outnumbered the Raptors were compared to the Extreme Dinosaurs and had hoped a 4th raptor would have joined before the show went off the air.
So there's my review on the show. I really enjoyed it. A little too much perhaps as I was inspired/determined to make some of them in CO (Champions Online) and I did... I love my growing-heavy weapons-wielding Haxx costume.
