Terra Nova

[Fuddlemiff]

Yeah, sort of. I quite like the look of the older daughter, while the boy has a girlfriend who's not unattractive, but not exactly going to knock your socks off either.

The only other significant female characters are the mother, who's "good for her age" and a ridiculous army woman who wears the entirety of the Earth's supply of eye shadow.

I just read a C- review of the latest episode and it put me off again.

I caught five minutes of last week's show, a couple teenagers ducking flying dinosaur birds and doing awkward flirty one-liners.

Really grabbed me, and by grabbed me I mean the opposite of that.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's got a lot of room for improvement, but I think it can do it. It'll never be a serious, challenging drama, though. It'll always have an annoying cutesy family theme to it.

Its incredible to think that with such a small niche to start with, the main guy has already been typecast as a cop who goes back in time.

At least he'll have work when they eventually remake Timecop.

 

[Donovan]

Why the fuck do they ruin any good sci-fi effort with that "family friendly lesson of the week" bullshit?

 

[Mentalist]

You guys do realize who the show runner is, right?

[Loktar]

Spoiler

Iwho is he?

 

[Mentalist]

Someone with a fetish for mediocrity and explosions.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

If a show doesn't cast Alan Dale as something, they're just not trying hard enough.

Spoiler

It's Trek pariah Brannon Braga

 

[Consumer]

Yeah, but he dated her:

(AKA this chick)

That makes him...well...at least envy worthy for that reason alone. And he gets his shows produced. Besides the "Nuke Brothers", can anyone here claim the same?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

And lost her, too.

 

[Consumer]

That happens in Hollywood, they get this distorted sense of beauty and worth, not to mention commitment. Sad, really.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Alex Reid and Chantelle Houghton are getting married. BUT THEY WON'T LET GAYS GET MARRIED!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Wasn't there a really bad Enterprise episode named Terra Nova?

Terra Nova (Star Trek: Enterprise) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Enterprise learns the fate of a lost colony not heard from for 70 years. When the crew of the Enterprise arrives, they discover unexplained radiation at the site of the colony. The radiation levels 70 years ago would have been lethal. However, they find people still there and living underground.

Season 1, ep 5.

 

[Loktar]

Yes.

Season 1, ep 5.

And that itself was a rip-off of the Voyager episode where Carey died.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

This week's episode was lame. The only thing that made it at all enjoyable was trying to figure out which tv show had the episode it was ripped off from.

So there's a virus that causes people to essentially go nuts and attack others (it was actually an amnesia virus but the result was the same because armed amnesiacs who find themselves surrounded by dinosaurs and strangers want answers fast or they're gonna start pushing buttons)... one person who CONVENIENTLY has a cold is unaffected. The genius doctor lady spends the next half an hour trying to figure out why the dude isn't affected by the virus until he sneezes melodramatically in front of her and says "we don't want you getting my cold!" so she can suddenly look wide eyed and exclaim "Yes! YES WE DO!! THAT'S IT!"
