Dinosaur Love - Tumblr Posts

Is anyone watching Dinosaur Love?

I don't know where the ridiculous-but-hopefully-enjoyable show I signed up for went but now it's giving DRAMA.

No, but, SERIOUSLY. What is happening here?

Why did Dino get shot?

How did that help the plot?

Was it just so his phone could get damaged and they would get caught buying a new one? (Sidenote: is THIS them trying to NOT be caught - choosing each other in the buddy game and Dino glaring at everyone who approaches Rak)?

Did Dino really get shot so he could sniff-kiss this boy?

Beyond this episode, I'm just generally perplexed about the direction of the show:

Is the storyline about Mek and the former "best friend" done now?

Will Chalarm serve a purpose other than eye candy?

Why do they keep introducing new characters? (I mean, every episode there's some random character with a crazy subplot I guess we're supposed to care about ...)

I thought my expectations for this show were rock bottom - nonsensical fluff and nothing more. Is it wild to think there's a difference between nonsensical and incomprehensible??

Should I bang you right now?

Dino: Be a good boy for your dad and me. [some comments about stones] Dino: Should I bang you right now? Rak: Why not? Dino: I'll take you to Chiang Mai after this. Dino: Your only answer is yes. Rak: Hm. I'm going.

The context of that convo:

WHAT THE HELL AM I WATCHING?? Make it make sense, please.

Since we're apparently going in ... LET'S GO.

@shouldiusemyname, yeah, the time jump was literally three words on the screen that covered the time it took Rak to transfer schools. As @nerdybunnydestiny pointed out, he's back to being a freshman again, so credits just don't transfer in their universe. Whatever.

Also, in the 6 months that have passed, Rak has become close to Dino's BFF Mhee: they have each other's phone number; Mhee picks Rak up on his first day at the new school when Dino is busy and Rak is perfectly fine with this; and Mhee gives Rak a job. However, over the same period of time, somehow Rak and Dino are still at step one. No, that's generous - more like step 0.5.

I like the mega show idea. If we go with that, the show still could have worked in an "It's so bad that it's entertaining kind of way." But they're not leaning in to the absurdity of a parody! The obsessed BFF and violent ex should have been less ... I want to say "realistic" but that doesn't seem right. Basically, they should have gone bigger with it (think Fatal Attraction).

Re: Rak's father, I'm pretty sure that's either a budget issue or they just didn't want to take the time to cast the role. All we get is a very oddly distorted voice (perhaps another cast member autotuned badly). Then, they want us to believe that this man is going to pick up his only child from a date with a 30-year-old and not even get out of the car. Okay, sure. (At least with LITA, Payu met the mom, charmed her, etc.)

Totally agree about Mhee - only solid, comprehensible character. And I had completely forgotten about the other "animal" stories mentioned in the original pilot trailer [inserting here].

I'm actually curious about a Mhee/Chalarm pairing - not enough to watch another show in this series though. Plus, I'll be surprised if they manage to produce the other three stories. Either way, I still have questions:

Is there source material for this show and can it explain all the plot holes?

This show was originally slated for 5 episodes. They then double the runtime but somehow the show makes less sense. How did that happen? How??

I don't expect an answer to any of our questions. @nerdybunnydestiny is right; the narrator is high AF and that's why Dino Love is a disconnected debacle.

Should I bang you right now?

Dino: Be a good boy for your dad and me. [some comments about stones] Dino: Should I bang you right now? Rak: Why not? Dino: I'll take you to Chiang Mai after this. Dino: Your only answer is yes. Rak: Hm. I'm going.

The context of that convo:

WHAT THE HELL AM I WATCHING?? Make it make sense, please.

That was the finale?!

How could anyone come to the conclusion that THAT WAS A CONCLUSION? They need at least the 2 episodes MDL promised/threatened just to tie up the loose ends ...

I guess we should be happy though - since we're finally free. This show gaveth (many, many questions) and this show tooketh away (my sanity).

DinoSNORE - The Sacrifice!

I have been summoned by the Dino of Destiny! @magpie24601 I am here with the sacrifice (myself. I have sacrificed myself).

Let me just preface this with a genuine and heartfelt WHAT THE FUHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Episode 8, which I now thankfully understand is the last ep, is the ultimate no script ep. They just sat them down with the box set of LITA and that's it. Seriously, there's no script to this show. Like what is this?

Shouldn't you know if someone's bugging you?! Why are you asking the person in charge of the bugging?!

For the love of god, Dawson! He was riding a skateboard! What hit you was the dark and ominous background music!

I think that even the subers are making fun of this show...

Oh Rak... You're so right. NOTHING can dumb this down. NOTHING!

Then, THEN! we see the return of The Friend.

No shit Sherlock! We had to spend 5 minutes just to establish who you are cos nobody remembers.

Also, what's the deal with creditors?

Do you have to marry your creditor? Is it like a soulmate connection?

Whatever. I still need to address the sex scene. I didn't screenshot anything. I can't be responsible for the damage it can cause. If you watch, it's on you.

WHAT WAS THAT?!

Why was the camera moving All the Fucking Time?!

What's with the tongue Dino?! There is such a thing as too much tongue!

Why was Rak turning off the lights when they weren't even in the bedroom yet? What's the point if you're going to the bedroom anyway?

Really Rak? You almost lost control in the bathroom stall? (Ahem! LITA...) Cos you were dodging the DinoTongue like you were running from the plague.

And why are you moving so much Dino? You are NOT Payu. I repeat - you. are. not. payu! This is not a sexy look on you. Stop moving! Stop!

Oh! And you like to reward a good boy? Really? P'Payu? Oh, it's P'Dino? I'm sorry. I just get confused....

And then this:

Rak, listen to me, LISTEN! You are not Sky!

Seriously, Did you even watch the LITA box set together? You are doing two different stories. There are TWO main couples in LITA.

Get together and decide which couple you want to rip off be inspired by and stick to it.

To conclude, don't watch the show people. I was cringing so hard through this entire event. I'm pretty sure @nerdybunnydestiny hates me now for making them watch too much of this shit of a show (I hope you can forgive me so I won't have to move to the south and marry my creditor...).

I would like to use this opportunity to thank @plantsarepeopletoo for providing me with a punching bag to deal with this - let's be happy that MDL sometimes lies (the sacrifice worked!) and there are no more episodes. And if you've found yourself questioning your life choices as a result of watching this show, know that you're not alone 💜

I just heard there's going to be a special episode of Dinosaur Love - and it may lead into the spinoffs with the other couples. Is this really happening?

I'm honestly flabbergasted ... yet still intrigued.

@shouldiusemyname @nerdybunnydestiny, how deep are we going down this rabbit hole?
