Did anybody catch the series premier last night? i thought it was pretty good. great concept and the story line so far is great! The Slashertails and Carnotaurus' were a great way to illustrate the danger and predatory presence.

Watched it last night, great show and well done. Acting was very good I thought. Special effects were good for a tv show. I'd say quality wise on par with The Walking Dead.

I saw it too, I think the storyline is great and they did a great job setting the atmosphere for both the future and past. Overall the whole show was well executed and I can't wait to see more episodes

It was awesome! I've been waiting for a new Jurassic Park for tees and this definitely reminds me of it.

We had to take a test called the terra nova in fourth grade to prepare for the proficiency test. This one time.

yeah i was thinking this sort of show sould've been on AMC. Fox will make it one of those "see a t-rex once and not see another dino for 4 episodes" kind of show.

Too much love story crap right off the bat.... there were like 3 loves stories and 1 family and non added anything to the sentiment of the story. But I am looking forward to the action and the quality of the HD picture is really phenomenal...

Watched the premier episode and it looks pretty good. Solid story line but like the above member mentioned a little to much love drama for the first episode, just my opinion.

This show looks to be promising for at least 3 seasons but hopefully fox won't ruin it.

Fox will definitely and most likely ruin this show like they cancelled/ruined:

Firefly
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

And two more I never really watched but heard things about:
Dollhouse
Drive

Keep in mind folks this is a family type show...it's supposed to be about family and drama, not just dinosaurs. It's like the same thing that makes Walking Dead so good. It's not really about zombies. It's about people living in world they are surrounded in. Same thing here.

Just finished watching the first episode, and I definitely agree with everything you said.


My love for dinosaurs is the cause to most of my excitement for this show. haha. I can't wait to see what unfolds in the coming episodes.

^^^All really good shows run into the ground, Like Heroes on NBC. But the cancellation that made me the most angry? Space: Above and Beyond, back in the 90's. For you guys too young to remember it, think Halo 3 ODST before Xbox was ever even thought of.

Cheesy now, I guess... But cool for sure back in 95. That bearded guy in Terra Nova reminds me Lt Col McQueen...

Definitely in. Hopefully it gathers a decent following. Another show that's survived Fox is Fringe, but just barely. Seems like a too complicated storyline for many new viewers to follow :/

Definetly a fan, were getting the episodes within a few days of you guys luckily.

I just hope they keep a good story line to it and make it interesting to watch, LOST/HERO/Prison Break got rather annoying after the 1st few seasons!

Fringe just reeked too much of X-Files to me when it first came out. I refuse to get drawn into another show that refuses to answer any damn questions...

Just finished the first episode of Terra Nova. Gonna be brutally honest here: If either of those black kids died in the first episode, I was gonna stop watching.:down:

Waiting for the 2nd episode to show up online...

But it's so intriguing. You just keep getting many more questions after a partial answer is given. I love it. 4 seasons and it's still entertaining.

Watched the first episode last week and thought it was very cheesy and predictable. Tonight I watched the second episode to see if it would be better, but it was worse.

^^^Word.

First episode reflections:
-If the govt was serious about population control, chick should had the tubes tied after kid # 2.
-How come the husband got jail time but the wife didn't? Like she had nothing to do with conceiving a 3rd kid!
-The son was annoying as all fuck.
-My wife made me sleep on the couch after being in prison for 3 years!? Hell fuck NO!
-Teenagers will roam the forest KNOWING there are hungry dinos around? WTF RETARDS!

I'll check the 2nd episode out tonight, but I don't have high hopes. This show is already losing my interest.
