Did anyone watch this special on Animal Planet? It was done as a Documentary taking place after a Dragon Corpse is found preserved in ice.

It is quite good. Although I can just see people seeing it in a couple hundred years and thinking it is real.

I was amazed at the quality of the animation.

Plus, anything with Patrick Stewart as the narrator has a vote from me.

It was well animated, but there wasn't anything really new that I hadn't read in books before, except the grab talons and plummet mating test thing.

What was it about, is it like real evidence or was it just a bunch of hypothesises and whatnot?

I was disappointed in it overall. It was very pretty, but I thought they were trying to pull at too many emotional strings as they showed off all their cool graphics.

The production was fabulous, the narration top notch... the writing was crap though. Not enough time spent on other things they mentioned on their website.

Shoulda ditched the "Making of" part and spent more time on both the marine and forest dragon, in my opinion, as well as the 3rd set of limbs. As well as some more scientific stuff.

My thoughts exactly. They could have done more with the water and forest dragons. They didn't even mention the dessert dragon...

That and they kind of fuzzed over how they even knew about them just by the mountain dragons' remains.

But the animation and design was top notch, I'll agree to that. And Having Patrick Stewart narriating was a very good choice.

Was it anything like that other special about 'theoretical' animals that might evolve thousands of years from now (including some swamp-octopus thing called a 'Swampus', the height of creative names right there)?

I did see that, I liked the images and the hypothesis very much, I didn't like the way they brought the human lords in at the end so much, I would have preffered seeing more about the earlier forms of the dragons.

As to people believing it was real, my mother missed the introduction, and thought that this was a real documentary. *laughs* she is so gullable.

It was enjoyable, but it is just another cute documentry special and didn't deserve the hype they built around it. Basicly I got the same sort of mixed feelings from that what would happen in the future of Earth's evolution thingy.
