Land of the Lost 1990s
Episode Studies

 As I re-watch the episodes of Land of the Lost on DVD I'll be posting my studies relating to each episode such as translations of Pakuni words used, sound bits of memorable dialog and screen grabs. Please note, I will be listing the episodes as presented in my re-interpretation of the chronology, not in airdate order (see my Porter Timeline.)
