That episode was fucking crazy in all the best ways. Seeing Spear being outright scared shitless of the zombie dino was pretty interesting as he's usually pretty reckless and throws himself into even crazy dangerous situations. That and his reaction to the zombie dino finally burning in the crater was rather melancholic, even outright sad.
I'll wait to make a thread about it till the season finishes but I have to say that this might be the boldest, most striking and effective pieces of TV, not just animation mind you, I've seen in the last decade, perhaps even longer. Its not just the lack of spoken dialogue either but the entire package that creates something so incredibly evocative while still being pulpy as can be. We just don't see TV like this and I think this solidifies Genndy as one of the premiere creative forces out there.
1st half reminded me of Primal Rage with the dino on dino violence.
2nd half was like a Terminator dino continuing to stalk Fear/Spang.

Mesmerizing episode! Everything was so good, the animation and art were gorgeous.
Very intense, and felt really bad for the zombie dino :(
You could see in a lot of scenes that he was crying. I wonder if it's because his conscious was still intact and that virus seized control of his body, or those weren't actually tears and just body fluids.

I think it was just various fluids leaking from its rotting body. Though the initial infected dino's eye did seem to return to normal as it finally died. Would have been cool to see the chain reaction of infections leading up to were the actual episode started.
I did not know it had 5 new episodes till i came into this forum!!!!!!!!! I'm assuming it is on HBO Max yes?
Its an Adult Swim show and its also on Hulu as well but only if you have a live TV subscription.
Randomly got recommended a reaction to the zombie episode though its from a few months back. His reactions are pretty good and he seems to be fairly knowledgeable about dinosaurs in general which was a nice touch. Apologies if he is some shitty youtuber in advance.
It's the Sisters of Aku, if they were witches instead of assassins.
Oh no Fang, out of the frying pan last episode, and now into the fire for this one.

That was great, though I think the ending of last weeks episode had more impact, while this episode as a whole was more depressing, but in a good way.

Oh, I definitely agree, my take on depressing was not suppose to be negative. I'll give it another watch and see where it ends up on the list.
Finally able to sit down and watch the episode and they continue to knock this out of the park every week. Was not expecting to have to rewatch some of the harder hitting moments in the series all over again but even less so time traveling magic and crazy shapeshifting.
BTW, is Fang fully grown?
She is kinda small compared to that enemy T-rex matriarch/patriarch they took down in episode 1.
I'm on season 1.

If she's able to breed and lay eggs I'd assume she is fully grown.
Sexual maturity doesn't necessarily mean that growth in body size is over, I think.
Nothing really implying she isn't fully grown though. Those other dinos that killed Fang and Spear's offspring just looked to be a different species with the horns and red coloration.
I see, the wiki said they were T-Rexes, so I was going by that.
Some comparatively tiny T-Rexes in this world, then.
So many things have dwarfed her in size so far lol.
Its not exactly skewing for realism after we've seen a spider big as a house, zombies and time traveling witches.
Theory is she isn't a T-Rex, but some smaller theropod species. It's not overly realistic anyway.
idk that might have been the first dud for me. Was just kind of dull and the whole "omg we're being hunted/chased by __" setup is starting to feel stale.
