Saw one episode, total crap. If earth is dying, why would you go back to 85 million bc where the you have to live with giant bugs, plants and dinosaurs that want to eat you.

And what's with this 1-way doorway, so if they need more guns or ammo, there screwed.

This won't last more than a year.

This show is a fucking disgrace. It's like Glee in early 90's SciFi with dinosaurs thrown in for a good measure. Really, I thought no one seriously produces such shit when you have stuff like Games Of Thrones to compare to. I was just commenting how high of a standard many modern TV shows set, with great casts, scripts and shooting. This show, somehow, manages to take us 20 years backwards on any such aspect. Even my wife, who does 3D animation for a living, commented on the peculiarity of the effects. It fails on every aspect - from story, to filming, to effects to cast. The scenery is about as sophisticated as early Star Trek.

Spielberg or no fucking Spielberg, this thing will be dead by the end of the season, unless they portal in some Mexican gangs and have drivebys, or the dinosaurs start plotting among themselves, I'm done with this shit.

I thought the CG was pretty good, especially for TV. Maybe I'm not as picky as most but I think the story thus far is pretty decent- sure some of the child actors/actresses aren't the best but so far the show is pretty good.
 
After the episode on Monday, I have a little more hope it could turn into something good. I guess this Mondays episode one will be the deciding one for me.

Read the previous responses for your answers. 😛

Otherwise for the most part they can't choose what time they are sent back and they send more supplies as time goes on and it looks like many of the guns use a "force" bullet so probably just needs to be charged up.

It isn't bad but needs more conspiracy stuff going on, like links to 2149.

That's coming. The 6ers are a bigger deal and they are trying to get that guys girlfriend back to be the 6ers bargaining device.

The show is starting to go somewhere. I am starting to like it more now that I stuck it out. The whole problem is that it took too many episodes to get to this point. Those first few "filler" type episodes (episodes 2, 3 I think) sucked any momentum the show had going for it.

Please review thread. That was answered ... probably in an episode which is not the single episode you watched.

Is this like Heroes except it was shitty from episode 1?

If you thought Heroes was shitting from episode one, then I have to disagree. Heroes showed promise and the first episode was intriguing. It turned to shit as the series progressed.

Finale of Heroes season 1 was an epic disappointment. Season 1 was awesome other than that.


Tera Nova started off good then went immediately to crap, but the last episodes started to show some promise again.

What's in the box? Who are the 6ers? How do the 6ers communicate with the future? What was that scribling on the rocks? etc ...
They better start answering this crap or I will be pissed and saying good buy to any chance of me watching season 2.

This episode was kinda more fluff but it looks like next weeks will be a lot better with a 6ers attack so at least some action other then chasing a dino down.

Plus it looks like a new pet for the family that I hope they call rex. 😛
 
Just watched it. Another filler episode.

I quit.

You Suck Steven Spielberg. Quit being a whore and attaching your name to anything you can.

God this show had so much promise. This could have been amazing. Another Lost. And it sucks. You are a whore. WHORE WHORE WHORE. What, you need more fucking money. You fucking whore. Can't be creative anymore?
