I'm not sure why, but this showed up in my recommended:

I wasn't even watching anything to do with acid, LSD or Star Trek lately.

I've watched this before, before watching the episodes they used as clips. 

It made watching the show a bit stranger.

I've been enjoying several of this channel's videos of pseudo-scientific (semi-in-character/-in-universe) analysis of various fantasy (and other) species:

This channel has done several big uploads of animated series from back in the day, or otherwise hard to find or out of the zeitgeist:

What do you mean pseudo-scientific? 

Many Christians believe not only that the world is 6000 years old, but that people walked alongside Dinosaurs in the beginning and that Dragons were among them. 

The Bible refers to Dragons multiple times. If The Bible is real, rather than allegorical, then their passages on Dragons prove they existed (as well as Leviathans): 


“Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.” - Ezekiel 29:3


“And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.” - Isaiah 34:13 


“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” - Revelation 12:3


"And he seized pthe dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and qbound him for a thousand years," - Revelation 20:2

Probably not the right term, seeing as pseudoscience means: "a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method".

I mean more treating fantasy scientifically in a fictional context (as though they were real, or could be real).  It's not just dragons (which also has two parts, besides), but stuff like mind flayers and mermaids and wendigo.

"And he seized pthe dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and qbound him for a thousand years," - Revelation 20:2

Were the spelling mistakes in the quote itself?

But Dragons are in The Bible, just like how Demons, Witchcraft, and Astrology are, unlike Mindflayers and Mermaids.

Oh totally, even after all these revisions they kept it in.

Well, to toward that end, the channel also details things like mummies, vampires and werewolves, which have mythological, real-world correlates (yes, mummies actually exist, but the mythologies and fiction around them since).  He treats them to scientific, biological analysis under the premise they exist in-universe with the analysis, while what I mean by fantasy isn't so much about the existence of the real-world mythology (even if based as symbolism of some mistaken idea of a natural creature) than its nonexistence in nature.

...But to proceed into a discussion of scientific observation and whether, say, unicorns exist or not based on scientific observation (or not) is a whole other discussion.  To curtail that a bit, might as well just place the caveat of "so far" there, and make the categorization of the content that.
