- This is great already and I'm only three minutes into episode one

- The pygmy sloths looking for love remind me of that pangolin themed Google Doodle from Valentine's Day, whenever that was

- These islands are so pretty aahhhh

- I also never thought about "slow + th" @Clever

- ew, "komodo dragons violently eat a carcass" scene

- I actually almost had a heart attack when this one lemur was jumping around in the arid part of Madagascar, like no you're going to get yourself impaled did you see those cacti

- Awww this baby lemur and his mother plus the cute music is giving me feels

- woooooaaaaahhhhh that lava

- Yes we're on the Galapagos Islands now

- Yes marine iguanas were my favorite animals as a child

- sUPER PRETTY COLORFUL CRAB

- Those smaller lizards just chilling on the iguanas' heads

- those are some terrifying huge snakes

- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE IGUANA

- oh great, racer (or is it razor?) snakes trying to eat smol baby iguanas, just what my emotions needed

- oH NO I'M GONNA CRY HE WAS CAUGHT

- ahhh these snakes are so creepy, like they just appear from under the rocks and then suddenly there are ten million of them

- P E N G U I N S ! ! !

((That was a rapid change of emotions))

- "Tiny crab utopia" is my new favorite phrase

- A volcanic island WITH PENGUINS

- These penguins having to jump off cliffs to get to the ocean are giving me anxiety

- YAY THE PENGUIN FAMILY IS REUNITED AT LAST

- THIS IS SUCH A PRETTY SHOW AAHH LOOK AT THAT SKY
 

Well it's over, that was an emotional rollercoaster

Hopefully I got most of the names of the animals right because I was just going off of what I think I heard, I didn't look them up or anything

wish it was spelled "slowth" straight-up, tbh english, as a language, is a coward, for this and this alone.....

I'm so glad to read this for some reason? I still haven't watched any more of Planet Earth II since I made a thread about it because I plan on adding to that thread with my dumb thoughts on the other episodes. But it's really interesting to hear your perspective!

About the Komodo dragons: I have this collection of increasingly bizarre selfies I took with the Komodo dragon exhibit last time I went to the AMNH. It's not quite relevant but remembering that scene in Planet Earth II made me think about it and I think the forums deserve to know of my weird selfies' existences

@Clever

*rebelliously spells it slowth*

wow that's amazing

Komodo dragons are terrifying so I feel like the only selfies I would take in front of their exhibit would be like, me crying or just doing a super edgy-looking straight face XD

I'll probably update this thread with more excessively long lists of thoughts when I watch the next episode (hopefully?) tomorrow

And I think the next one is Mountains which I'm super excited about because I love mountains

wow

this is making me really want to watch Planet Earth II

where can I find this marvellous show

netflix

haha wow I got excited clicking on this like "wow someone must have posted!"

but not only was it just my own post

it was me being extremely lazy

not even bothering to change font or size

just

" n e t f l i x "

it was the biggest disappointment of my day
