Relationship to The Future Is Wild

I removed the statement "It is a spiritual sequel to another Discovery special, The Future Is Wild," because except as personal opinion it is false. The Future Is Wild was from Animal Planet, which has different network criteria for plausibility and scientific support, and the producers and scientist consultants of Alien Planet (I was one of the latter) all agreed that The Future Is Wild was a model not to emulate.--Curtis Clark 15:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I loved both specials. I'm curious, do you consider The Future Is Wild to be bad science?

Both were basically speculative fiction and worldbuilding; as such, they seem pretty well-done, but they don't make it clear enough that they're just speculative(with weasel words like "Scientists believe"). There was a similarly confused Discovery program about hypothetical dragons a few years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.233.86.26 (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Daggerwrist climbing.jpg

Image:Daggerwrist climbing.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Half Life

• Is it just me, or do some of the species in this, like the "pronghead" and the "butcher tree" seem like they were adapted from species in the Half Life games? Funkynusayri (talk) 04:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

This was adapted from an old book, so half life musta stole from that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.21.240 (talk) 00:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

No

Half life was made after the book expidition was written, the book that this movie/tv show was based off. Legally ofcorse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrGeniusDude (talk • contribs) 20:44, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Scientifical accuracy?

Was there critics on this aspect, or other subjects? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.202.208.207 (talk) 04:30, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

• Maybe, I'll do a quick internet search and see of it turns up anything. Chris (talk) 00:38, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
