<p><a href='http://kingdompen.org/members/dragon-snapper/' rel="nofollow ugc">@dragon-Snapper</a> The series is like Jurassic Park, except with a creationist worldview. There’s no time travel in this series, but the series I’m working on now (it also has dinosaurs &#x1f996;&#x1f60b;), has time travel. &#x1f642;</p>

I’ve actually only seen a few western movies, however, I make up for it by watching a lot of western TV shows. My favorites are Bonanza, The Virginian, The Big Valley, The Rifleman, Laramie, and Wagon Train. Have you seen any of those? &#x1f603;</p>
