Terra Nova's first season is over.
Its now finally official, Terra Nova is the worst thing to happen to science-fiction and well science period... ever!
The teenagers are painfully whiny and annoying, which is almost as bad as when the stereotypical brainiac girls is trying to impress with us by pointing out how gigantic the moon is, despite the fact that the difference would be impossible to notice to the naked eye in the rough period they are supposedly in (ballpark would be well under 1%). And they spread BS myths like being able to tell which way North is from the moss on a tree, which is not only a dumb myth, but is a whole other level of stupid in a dense forest. *facepalm*
More importantly, for some reason we have Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Spinosaurus, Carnotaurus, and alien looking raptors along with make-believe dinos all in one location in the late Cretaceous period. Uhmmm whaaaat? Some of these guys are separated not only geographically but by a couple hundred million years. But wait, that's not all, we have giant insects from the Carboniferous era in the modern day jungle. OW! BRAIN HURTS!
Then we're supposed to believe that an iron meteorite is going to have sufficient mass and yet still explode on entry large enough to create both a "sonic wave" (future speak for shock wave apparently) and yet an EMP that takes out all their electronics? And if military equipment today is hardened against directed EMP attacks, why the heck isn't future military hardware, especially if this isn't the first time its happened to Terra Nova?
But its OK, because we have a bartender that is able to produce a computer chip (we know the other chips are damaged by the EMP just by looking at it and not even testing em btw, lol) with the same hand tools he fixes watches with... never mind that even current computer chips are on the scale of 32nanometer.... apparently Moore's Law reverses itself at some point in the future, where everything is on the scale of lego blocks.
And speaking of future hardware, what the heck is wrong with their military equipment? I have in my arsenal weapons that can easily take down an African elephant, and actual military weaponry of today would explode any dinosaur into tiny little pieces. Yet these guys are getting eaten alive by dinos left and right, with their leathery skin bouncing rounds from belt fed fifty calibers like a German panzer division.
Anyway, there is more and its free on Hulu.com, but I just find it so annoying that you'd be dumber after watching a science-fiction show, which are usually supposed to drop a bit of knowledge on you. I'd be happy to just reclassify it as a fantasy show rather than sci-fi, if at least the acting were decent, but Steven Lang (the Commander guy) seems to be the only one that can act but he has no writers to give him good material.
Surprisingly, Terra Nova was only ranked five on worst shows of 2011, lol!

Double-bummer for me since the premise was sweet, with a world that far in the past being just as alien as space, and cool dinosaurs and future tech as a backdrop for a drama series. Could have been so awesome.

Here's hoping no second season, and the money is put towards a new Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica/Farscape/Firefly or other similar type show. *crossing fingers*

Because of the digital switch NBC, CBS, and FOX signals are hard to get in my area and that is with a 20ft antenna!

as is Caviezel- Person of Interest is a great show all around! I moved Season 1 of Downtown Abbey up in my Netflix que so it's next after Hawaii 5-0 and then I'll start recording Season 2 immediately!
