I'm gonna miss House because of the stupid MLB and this show. Seen it for two weeks now and it's thoroughly 'meh'

10/10/2011 9:35:39 PM

One teenage romance would be tolerable, but two in the same show is overboard.

[Edited on October 10, 2011 at 9:58 PM. Reason : and House sucks]

10/10/2011 9:58:43 PM

Theyre losing me, gonna give it another week but if it keeps going down this bullshit road with the son, I'm through

10/10/2011 9:58:46 PM

House is on? where is Terra Nova? (Im on the west coast) I thought it came on at 9pm?

10/11/2011 12:29:37 AM

Rick Berman brings the Star Trek Voyager shitfest to Terra Nova.

10/11/2011 1:07:40 AM

^ (It's Brannon Braga though.)

i forgot to extend my DVR to record over for the baseball game going into extra innings. But honestly, i'm not that upset about it. i might watch this episode.

"wow, I really never knew Stephen Lang played Ike Clanton in Tombstone (one of my favorite movies). totally blew my mind with that one. I always just think of Lang as the guy from Avatar"

I looked into his filmography after this and had my mine blown too. I watched the shit outta Gettysburg back in the day and did not realize that Lang played General Pickett. One of the most memorable lines in that movie was when he sees Lee after the charge and Lee directs him to return to his men and Pickett/Lang replies "General Lee, I have no division" shell shocked and teary-eyed. I had not realized that was the same actor. Thanks for pointing out Tombstone so I could realize what else Lang has done. I again just thought of Avatar and nothing else.

this is a pretty blah series. I do like the commander dude from avatar.

10/13/2011 2:10:11 AM

I couldnt get through the most recent episode

"they're going to get a perfectly servicable show cancelled because they put all this teenager bullshit in it"

i completely agree. this teen angst/teen romance theme has gotten old and it's bad enough there is 1 douche we have to deal with but now there is his sister too and her "love interest." enough is enough. and teen dude def looked like he had freakin eye makeup on during the scene where he kissed that girl. i guess it had to match his feminine purple shirt.

i was so happy my DVR ran out before the episode ended due to extra-innings baseball. i had an excuse to turn it off.

10/13/2011 10:48:34 AM

I mean the teen romances are annoying but damn I'd still much rather watch this than yet another procedural crime show or medical drama.

10/13/2011 11:26:25 AM

well they do have a cop and doctor as two of the main characters


I really hope they get into the "overall" story of the show in the next episode (i.e. the calculations, backstory for the portal, backstory for the sixers, etc.). Having two filler episodes out of the first three is pretty unacceptable. Its like the writers decided to put the show on cruise control immediately after the pilot

True

Still I hate how network TV can support 15 versions of NCSIS: Insert City but can't support one decent sci-fi show.

10/13/2011 11:37:59 AM

I like their sports pad armors, I'm just waiting for someone to get tackled out of no where while trying to watch this show. lol

10/14/2011 8:40:51 AM

I'm just waiting to see some avatars in this... or mechs... lol

10/14/2011 4:22:09 PM

oh hey, just what this show needs, another kid

10/17/2011 8:03:12 PM

the above posts confirm my suspicion that people are still watching this show

I however, gave up

10/17/2011 8:10:50 PM

gonna watch house anyway, might as well

10/17/2011 8:12:53 PM

how can i reach these kidsssssss

10/17/2011 8:38:28 PM

It wasn't a filler episode this time at least.

Also there was only 1 teenage romance plot and it didn't take too much time.

I thought the episode was pretty good.

10/17/2011 10:36:50 PM

Ended up watching Avatar today just to see the Colonel dude.

10/17/2011 11:50:25 PM

i need to re-watch the episode... fell asleep 2/3 into it, but it seemed better than some previous episodes at least.

10/18/2011 8:41:29 AM

went into the episode planning on it being my last if they made it another filler, but this one was probably the best of the first 4/5 episodes, so they bought themselves a few more weeks of my viewership.

The next episode looks like its going to be more filler shit

10/18/2011 8:52:18 AM

i havent watched any of this? it seems, from reading the thread, that it started out pretty good then got lame but the last episode is pretty good. should i try and catch this on demand this weekend?

10/18/2011 4:45:55 PM

am I the only one that finds this family incredibly annoying?

10/18/2011 4:49:33 PM

it's only a 13 episode season. if you manage to stick around through the halfway mark you might as well leg out the last half.

10/18/2011 4:53:17 PM

^^i'm not a fan of their "holier than thou" attitudes but i'm just watching to see what the waterfall drawings are. and i want to see dinosaurs eat people.

10/18/2011 6:13:42 PM

At least there was barely any screen time from the stupid rebellious son this time and only a small amount of the love interest between the daughter and that other guy. I'm at least very interested to find out what the real reason for Terra Nova is.

10/19/2011 8:52:13 AM

I had high hopes... and tried to give it a chance... but half way through last weeks show, I went into series manager on my DVR and hit "delete".

10/19/2011 10:40:58 AM

spy

10/19/2011 1:29:43 PM

i'm still optimistic... the last episode advanced the plot just a little bit at least.

10/19/2011 7:47:00 PM

they need to let the people that do the next episode teasers take the reins of the show, i keep getting suckered into watching it

next episode is it for me if it doesn't pay off very well

11/1/2011 12:01:18 PM

CSI: Terra Nova

11/1/2011 1:52:41 PM

I don't know maybe my expectations of this show are lower than everyone else's, but I thought yesterday's episode was fine. I enjoyed it.

11/1/2011 3:23:02 PM

^ Same.

11/1/2011 4:27:42 PM

I enjoyed the first episode..then after that...I was bored.

11/1/2011 4:31:38 PM

After episode 3, I took it for granted that Mark Reynolds (the soldier courting maddie) was a sixer, because of the scene where he has a knee jerk reaction and says that there wasn't a sixer ambush (something he could not have known without being a sixer). Even with his military clearance, he still wouldn't have known that the sixer's hadn't ambushed, unless he knew when and where the sixers were planning ambushes.

Everywhere I've looked for speculation on it seems to have ignored this. Now I'm not sure if I'm right, or if the writer's just screwed up and gave a character knowledge he shouldn't have.

Thoughts?

11/4/2011 10:45:16 AM

^I didn't notice that.


I find the wife very annoying, however. She's apparently smart enough to fix anything and even has time to perform surgery on a still borne baby dinosaur that nobody really cares about? And apparently people still have british accents in 2149?

11/4/2011 2:40:34 PM

Why wouldn't British people have British accents in 2149? I'm pretty sure British people had British accents in 1850.

11/4/2011 2:57:15 PM

^^ Are you implying that only American accents will be around in the future?

ol dude's a badass

I really, really hate these fucking kids

11/7/2011 8:52:32 PM

I liked the episode overall.

11/7/2011 9:25:18 PM

I was about to give up watching this episode in the middle of the little kid "liquid memory core" scene..

This episode better get better soon.

11/7/2011 9:42:00 PM

normally i don't let little things like common sense interrupt my enjoyment of tv shows, but what's up with the selective tech? their weapons range from bows&arrows to some sort of pulse rifle...but skip over guns&bullets almost entirely? they have a machine that manufactures computer chips...but fail to keep it in a shielded container?

if i ignore all that, it was a decent episode

11/7/2011 9:53:37 PM

They have normal bullet rifles, but like the kid said they have electronic firing pin.

Probably use caseless ammo

11/7/2011 10:20:30 PM

I don't think a meteor can cause an emp, and even modern day military tech is emp shielded...
