The baby dinosaur plot, the teen wangst, the freakin' painful 'spider' song...<br /><br />Not to mention that logic changes each week. One episode, the outside is dangerous and all Jumanji. The next, hey let's go fishing and picnicking, what dinosaurs? <br /><br />I read the original pilot script, and it was much better, much more BSG. <br /><br />Also, maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but Wash's treatment is a little...sexist? The badass second in command is suddenly replaced by an ex-con who is suddenly vital for everything? The only female characters left are Mira, who's defined by her evil and her motherhood, Elizabeth, who's just a romantic object, Zoe the prop, Skye the traitor...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82682034228063142632011-12-21T11:31:23.201-05:002011-12-21T11:31:23.201-05:00I wanted to like it more than I did.

I still hope for a second season so they can fix it. With better writers. And Wash needs to be alive again. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-84144131636564574792011-12-21T10:17:07.634-05:002011-12-21T10:17:07.634-05:00Oops, that last anonymous was me.Oops, that last anonymous was me.trickstersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-51240595116363889422011-12-21T10:16:06.320-05:002011-12-21T10:16:06.320-05:00Well, it's not our Earth but a universe one st...Well, it's not our Earth but a universe one step over that we're screwing up, which makes it less stupid but just as nasty<br /><br />Fair Warning, I'm going to get somewhat political here.<br /><br />What I dislike most about the show is it's hypocrisy. As Billie points out just our being here in any form is going to screw with the environment.. There won't need to be a killer asteroid 20 million years later we will have wiped out the dinos way before then. but it's okay because instead of mean old capitalists it will have been done by...a one man military dictatorship. because that's what Terra Nova is, plain and simple.<br /><br />Okay, rant over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-52058100063853813082011-12-20T23:17:45.699-05:002011-12-20T23:17:45.699-05:00Alas, the show doesn't work for me.

No issues really seem to matter beyond the single episode. <br /><br />The biggest problem I have is just that the plots don't seem to have much to do with their situation. They're living in a world with dinosaurs, and the daughter's biggest problem is the battery for her iPad went dead.<br /><br />It's just not involving.<br /><br />EldritchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-60746510119569023432011-12-20T21:38:13.777-05:002011-12-20T21:38:13.777-05:00I learned a new word today, "veracity", ...I learned a new word today, "veracity", thank you.<br /><br /><br />(have not seen the finale yet, so I won't comment on it)danielcwnoreply@blogger.com
