Has anyone seen this guy's dissection of the show? He's done quite a few episodes, explaining what happens, and is quick to point out what's wrong in some places. He makes some points that I myself have not noticed, and some of those points make me chuckle, like how he says that Victor couldn't conquer a comic convention. XD Here is his blog regarding Dino Squad. Some eps he reviewed include Fire And Ice, The Beginning, Scents And Scents Ability, and Attack Of The Brain-a-saurus. spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/search/label/Dino%20Squad |

I do agree and like some points he made. Stuff like the dino faced stuff looking ludicrous. I assume they did that as possible toys they could put out. In real life they would not really look like that, dino themed helicoptors, boats, motorcycles, ect.
Watching this episode earlier got me to thinking. If one takes all the episodes as cannon (and I'd not personally) it makes the most sense to say the episodes are likely out or order since at times they can work perfectly as a team, and at times can't.
Though I think I caught something the first time I saw the last episode that I think he missed. if miss M gets to tired she will just switch to her human form? That makes no sense. For the kids yes. For her it makes more sense to say she can remain in raptor for individently, but in human form if she gets to tired she would switch to her raptor form.

I personally do take all the episodes as canon and in order; I just take the inconsistencies as lazy writing. They probably didn't care about episode-to-episode continuity. But that's just me of course. It's just easier for me to take them as in order than try to imagine what order they could have been in.
As for Spectrum not noticing that one bit about Moynihan, he did actually. Here's what he said:

I take the telepathic thing not as a mistake. Before they would not talk, I noticed, with Veloci nearby. I take that as they didn't know how, yet, to telepathically send to just 1 person or a selective few, without everyone else hearing. By the time of this episode Miss M had taught them and had them practice enough so they could send to 1 mind with no one else able to hear. Like Max could send to Buzz but no one else could hear his message but Buzz. A good tactical advantage if Veloci doesn't suspect they are sentient.
Her changing to human if she is tired makes no sense. It makes more sense the other way around. That after being human all day at school she has to go to the lighthouse to be in her true form for a while.
In classic star trek that came up, with someone shapeshifting to look like captain kirk and spock, the only person who had a phaser and the only other 2 in the room were the shapeshifter and kirk, just sat down with the phaser aimed a both of them saying, quite logicaly, something like all had to do was wait since the shapeshifter would have to return to his true form once he got tired enough.
I know it's just me, but I'd regard some episodes as non canon, and others as out of order. Especially if I were going to gm an rp. But I know most would prefer to treat all episodes as canon. That is much simpler then picking which episodes are and are not. & I know I"m picker about certain things, like that, then most others are.
