The fat chin doesnt bother me, but I get tired of the questions about the scars.

I liked it. But agrea the story needs more work.

I'll give it a chance and watch a few more episodes before I render a verdict, but I found the first episode's plot a bit contrived. A cross between Jurassic Park and Stargate, and of course you have the young people going off and getting into trouble, of course with some rogue group and an attack by evil vicious critters. Throw in a mystery (the rock etchings by the waterfall) and we have ourselves a series!

Frankly I was expecting a bit more from this, but will wait to see what comes of it.

I liked it.

Actually it's 138 years not 100. 38 years can make a difference. 2011 isn't the same as 1973 now is it?

That being said it's not even the time travel thing that bother me. Why go back to the age of dinosaurs? Seems more dangerous than living in that time. If you have the technology to go back in time one would think you have the technology to clean the air and water? To grow more food? Birth control? Oh wait we have those things NOW.

Maybe someone who has watched it can explain to me how Terra Nova got built without the builders being eaten?

Sounds a lot like

Mixed feelings. It portrays some kind of socialist society, run by a trigger happy military commander, as utopia. They cannot even trade a bit of iron ore without a major gun battle. Like in "Falling Skies", is all that militarism a reflection of US society at the moment?

I think the leader of Terra Nova said he was the first person to be sent there and the
group of guys that were supposed to follow behind him didn't make it for several days or a month or more so he had to find a way to survive on his own which he obviously did. It was his living testimony that people can find a way to survive Terra Nova.

The Walking Dead starts back up on Oct 16th and then TV will truly be worth watching again.

i watched it and liked it.
this kind of series depends a lot on twists in the story line - I hope they have some ready :)

50 Terra Novas

It has promise but there are some plot holes:

> They have some sort of a probe that apparently can exist for 85 million years so they know it's an alternate timeline (hawking imaginary time). But it's completely irrelevant because they can simply communicate back to the future timeline.

> How can anything survive for 85 million years???

> Sending a probe back in time could easily wipe out civilization if it had bacteria on it, lol

> How can you communicate with the future through a one way wormhole? (Stargate does this as well)

> Iron ore is a valuable resource that people are fighting over. Why don't they just radio back to the future and have more sent over? They already have jeeps and guns from the future.

> Two child policy seems pointless if you are trying to reduce a massively overcrowded population.

I love the extent that you guys are going to pick this show apart.

Because it's stupid. if you are going to go into the past you don't go 85 million years. I'll take my chance sin the future as miserable as it is than with all the crap that existed 85 million years ago. The creators of the show just pick 85 million years ago so they could show dinosaurs. Oh by the way doesn't matter if man got his second chance because 20 million years later the huge asteroid his earth and kills everything. Might exaplin why they didn't find the stupid probe. Also how can you have the technology to time travel but not clean the air?

The producers probably picked 85 million years ago with dinosaurs because it represents a time before civilization and a place to start from a new beginning. Of course the dinosaurs will add drama and visual effect like they did in the premiere. If they chose to leave them out I'm sure people would be wondering where the dinosaurs are :winkwink:

So man will have 20 million years to prepare for an asteroid strike. We are currently working on technology to prevent something like that from happening again. They can bring the current technology with them to Terra Nova AND they have 20 million years to improve upon it. I don't see it as a threat.

BTW what would be the timeline from Homo Erectus to the day they began to migrate through the worm hole? I'm guessing it's several million years less than the 20 million you think they would have from Terra Nova settlement to asteroid strike.

As for the time travel vs clean air problem it hasn't been revealed yet as to what happened but a simple explanation would be either the problem is irreversible or the technology for time travel was discovered before a solution to revert the air quality.

My guess is they just used up the earth and the only turning back was in time.

your a nerd :) :1orglaugh

I wasnt expecting much from it but I ended up really liking it. My DVR is set to record it every week now.

After episode #2, I'm still DVR-ing it, and I still enjoy it, but man, that episode plot was a total rip of Hitchcock's "The Birds."

Did the main female character (the Doctor) suddenly develop a Brit accent this week? I can't remember her having it in episode 1.

Anyway, I watched again tonight. Looks like it's going to bomb out.

no shes been brit all along. i hate all this brit shit in everything :disgust

The main character is actually Irish.

I thought the same lol. Really thought this episode was weak, they have a whole fucking planet here get the fuck out of the compound.

I wouldn't mind seeing what some of these recon teams and the 6ers are up to. I know they will do this soon, something tells me the 6ers aint the baddies here....

I liked the firth 3 episodes. Only the time will tell how big this show may become or if we'll be able to see 2nd Season

I watched it and liked it.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Good point!

.

I like it a lot so far. It's an interesting mix. :thumbsup

I missed that when you first posted it. In the first episode, they briefly mentioned having to plan on how to stop an asteroid from hitting.

I suggest they put another time portal where the asteroid is going to hit, and just send the asteroid to its own time line. :winkwink:

Yeah, that's what they told me when I was a kid in school in the 1970's.

By the year 2000 we would have flying cars and disease and war would be eradicated and people would live to almost 200 years old and we would use steroids to keep us all young and healthy...

Bottom line: I want my flying car! :1orglaugh

That Skye chick is hot...

The premise of the movie is that scientists discovered a fracture in time, not that they pushed a button and chose where to go like Back to the Future :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

All sci fi is easy to armchair and pick apart. It's fantasy.

Your Vegas to LA commute is about to get really fun :thumbsup




A little over a hundred years ago man only dreamed of flying. Now we have a new luxury airliner, put man on the moon, a probe on Mars, build and inhabit a space station, we are just a year or two from public space flight and yes we even have a flying car which someday will work into everyday life.

Thats a huge progression over the last hundred years so the next hundred should be even greater.

Turned it off after the first hour or so. I really expected more from this but it's a run of the mill production with a large budget. They could have done so much more.
