I miss Terra Nova.

/In advance: haters gonna hate.

One thing I could never understand was why the hell the cars had no doors if they were going into dangerous territory?

Worst show ever!

That dirtbike looks farking retarded.

Range Rovers and Landcruisers.

In the wild areas of Australia, those are considered low end work vehicles for dealing with the dangerous fauna. Hell, you can't drive a suburban street without seeing vehicles like those in every other driveway.

Why oh why did they have to make it a family drama.

Why do they think we want to see whinny teenagers in our Scifi?

Apos: A moment of silence to mourn what might have been......

Morn what could have been? It was a show on Fox...just a matter of time...

Yes, it was a very good show. It sucks that it was cancled. I would have watched it next year. At least Falling Skies is coming back next week. Opposite True Blood. Thank God the DVR can record two shows at once. I am also happy it is not on the air the same time as Family Guy. Whew.. Am I right?

Mugato: I just don't know why the dinosaurs had to look so crappy, especially with Spielberg at the helm. I understand that Jurassic Park was a big budget feature and not a TV show but it was also almost two decades ago. Anyway none of that would matter if any of the characters were worth caring about. And the father/son histrionics, again, Spielberg? Really?

I'm betting the dinosaurs looked crappy more due to time constraints than budget. They were dealing with a weekily show vs something like District 9 which proved you can get good CGI on a budget.

I like the show, but I hate getting invested in a story line only to be left hanging on a cliff.

anyone know if SyFy is going to auction off this?

Those things came from a contemporary show? They look like vehicles from a straight-to-video 80's movie.

r1chard3: Why oh why did they have to make it a family drama.

I know. It was a show about time travel, colonizing an alien planet, a dystopian future, and dangerous government conspiracies and they still felt the need to include angsty parent-teen relationships. No one will want to watch the show unless there's people doing stupid things and whining for no reason.

Only part of the show I cared about. Even she wasn't enough for me to watch a full episode.

These would be perfect when out looking for Carl.

bow: I miss Terra Nova.

/In advance: haters gonna hate.

We sure as shiat are. Terrible show.

Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

1. Large Population of known EatYourAssasauruses are in the general vicinity. This is a known prior to mission inception.

2. No proper protections were employed to protect yourselves from EatYourAssasauruses.
examples:

a. Vehicles have no enclosed protection from either large or small EatYourAssasauruses.
b. Perimeter of living area made of logs that have gaps offering no protection from small dog or (fer christ sake) even komodo dragon sized EatYourAssasauruses. Also, no aerial cover from flying EatYourAssasauruses which can fly in and.....well....eat your ass.
c. Teenagers are able to breach your perimeter with impunity, venturing to and fro, willy nilly at all hours of the day or night due to the fact that they somehow didn't realize any EatYourAssasaurus the size of a teenager of commensurate size, also has unfettered access into your compound.
d. Too soon after Avatar for Stephen Lang to play a similar character except have him be good
e. Oh......just keep the list going for me while I get a beer......tks.

Grandma's Bloody Strap-on: bow: I miss Terra Nova.

We sure as shiat are. Terrible show.

I never watched it, and I bet most people out there haven't watched it either...

/ and that's why it failed.
// and i'm a sci-fi nerd as well, nothing about the previews for this show interested me...

What about the guns?

swahnhennessy: Those things came from a contemporary show? They look like vehicles from a straight-to-video 80's movie.

They do look kind of like second-hand Megaforce rejects.

The premise reminded me a little of Earth 2. And she was the only reason I watched a couple of episodes of that show.

But would I have seen them in anything?

Count Dyscalculia:
d. Too soon after Avatar for Stephen Lang to play a similar character except have him be good

This... I figured they'd totally be telegraphing some nasty totalitarian aspirations or something, for once the dinos got too routine or expensive.

That show sucked donkey balls.

What does it cost to have one of these cars shipped to the Americas, and what would the import duty be like to the USA?

DjangoStonereaver: Huh. I thought every Fox SF show spawned such devotion.

Have you seen it? It was pretty damn bad. It's not really surprising nobody is sad to see it go.

rhiannon: The budget for the pilot alone was $14 million, making it the most expensive pilot ever made

I gotta figure some exec blew most of that on coke, because the show looked pretty damn cheap compared to most other recent Sci Fi shows (BS:G, for example). 90% of the show was filmed on some rented-out holiday bungalows in an Australian rainforest, the dinosaurs were rendered on a 486, the future-cars are just Range Rovers with bits of plastic stuck to them and the guns were Nerf toys with a coat of black paint. Oh, and nobody has heard of any of the actors other than that one dude from Avatar.

TN had such a cool concept for the 1st 10 mins of the 1st episode.

Then they landed in the new locale and decided that family/relationship drama was a good idea.
What a waste of time.

Moment over. Dibs on the bike!

I'll take that 6-by, thank you very much.

How much for this



?

Terra Nova isn't any worse than Falling Skies. And that hasn't been canceled. Both are really bad actually. Stop having whiny douchebag kids in dramas.

gund: Terra Nova isn't any worse than Falling Skies. And that hasn't been canceled. Both are really bad actually.

Yeah, but Falling Skies doesn't cost an inexplicably large amount of money.

Ah yes SG:U because the strength go SG:1 and Atlantis being likeable occasionally funny characters with generally lighthearted stories always makes me want a show more depressing than battle star galactica...

Spielberg hasn't done anything worthwhile in years. Then he involved branon bragga. This show had no chance.

Oh yeah?? how much

/yes, I post her pic every time terra nova comes up
