YMMV. None of the Nightmare Fuel in the series scared me when I was a kid. I was a real big dino nerd. Any of the Nightmare fuel scenes I was left staring in AWE, not fear.

But I only ever saw the Walking with Dinosaurs one. I never saw the rest of them. (Monsters, Etc.)

Prehistoric Park, shouldn't it get its own page? I know the description says it's easier to place it here, but I don't quite see how this works. WWD and PP are completely different entities whose only common traits are:
  • Nigel Marven, but the guy has many other shows as well
  • the CGI team
  • prehistoric animals

Are those really enough? The main title even points out that they were made by different companies. Not to mention, the premise is also way different, as it has a continuous plot with recurring characters, human and non-human. Of course, the Nigel special episodes of the original series also has these, but apart from the main host and the usage of time-travel, they have nothing in common, really. PP is more like a spiritual successor to the main WW franchise, or a barely related spin-off at best, as the main page claims.

If I can find the time and mental energy, then I'm on it. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks! If the pages are to be separated, then I'll join in on the work too.

Oops, bad timing. I'm about to go away for a little less than a week and probably won't have access to a computer for that time. I'm sorry. :(

In that case I can start working on it without having to fear that someone else may already be writing the page.

Should this be split into different sections for each continuation as well as a "general tropes" section?

Not a bad idea.

Since noone has objected, I've started it and done tropes from Adaptation Expansion down to Book Ends.

I did a major splitting too. I may have missed a few, but the page looks cleaner now. Cavemen needs more tropes, though.

Started a section for Big Al, which is in even direr need than Cavemen for examples.

Are all those Potholes that link to Stock Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life really necessary to keep? Not that they're not useful, but to link every instance the name of an animal or plant is spelled out to these sites is overdoing it, nay?

Also makes editing frustrating because they take up a good portion of several entries, and I can barely see where words end and begin.

agreed. After pointing it out enough times it begins to look like people posting actually resent the series for using more famous creatures. It would be dumb to assume they would leave them out or marginalize them.
