"The stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. No one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. Its forms are phantoms. The thread alone is real; the thread is life." Loren Eiseley

A few are, in the Carboniferous and Ordovician/Silurian. But most stuff is out in the field. It's likely a lot of the Ordovician episode will be fully CGI as well, underwater. Or at least we haven't seen much of that episode beside Iceland (as land).

Might as well rename the show "Bluescreens in the Wild" at this point lol

Much like YT has turned into a "don't recommend channel" point and click adventure game.

I don't buy for a second that these sort of apex predators would be this colorful, their prey will see them for a mile away!

But it sure looks very cool!

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Half a billion years ago, oceans didn’t breathe steadily,
they lurched between oxygen-rich and suffocating for over 100M years.

New research shows deep time holds a warning: once oxygen is lost,
it takes ages to return.

Our seas don’t have that time. 🌊
