Steven Spielberg's Dino Show "TERRA NOVA"

^I've never understood the LOST hype. Pretty dumb show.

I'm willing to check out Fringe because of Lance Reddick alone, but I'm not getting my hopes up seeing how it's a network series..

Wow, I make one small reference point in Lost and it's total thread highjack. Nice job boys!

For me, Lost is one of the most thematically intellegent shows of the last ten years, with richer and more compelling character developement than just about anything I've ever seen. It's a difficult show to get into though, and it took me about half a season to get swept up into it.

Couldn't give a rat's ass about Fringe. And Wataru liking it just makes me care less.

On network TV maybe, but it's a pretty juvenile medium to begin with. HBO/Showtime/AMC fare makes Lost look like a freakin kid's show.

It's a difficult show to get into though

Wat? The pilot episode is action-packed, and the show moves at a very fast pace much like most network TV. Pretty easy to get into I'd say.

Have you seen it?

I didn't start Lost with the Pilot. I started during the second season.

Don't really enjoy a lot of cable stuff. Just doesn't gel with my tastebuds, I often find the characters unlikable and the stories uninteresting. I think I looked into Fringe once, didn't click with me either.

Not to mention AMC firing Frank Darabont.

And I love Lost. skreeonk the haters.

That pissed me off too. I love Frank.

After that and the budget cut, I can only hope the series is still worth watching.

WHAAAAT?????? Who fires Frank "Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist" Darabont???

BTW, is that a friggin' Carnotaurus in the preview? After Disney's Dinosaur I never wanted to see another Carnotaurus again :mad:

. Totally overrated carnivore.

It's likely a fictional dinosaur. There's going to be a lot of those in this show (there's at least 3 different types of fictional raptors).

Did I really just read a reference to a long extinct creature as "overrated?"

Indeed. After the movie Dinosaur was released back in 2000, there was a mini "carnotaur" craze. I just got sick of them.

IR- That actually sounds pretty cool. Anyways I'm going to catch this for sure. Anyone else wonder how dinosaurs will carry an hour long TV show?

by **GojiFan** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:04 pm

The same way that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park made the movie great. By being realistic, intelligent, and generally not blood-thirsty monsters most dinosaur films try to portray them as.

^You mean boring.

No, no it's a Carnotaurus. (Though why RZK is calling it overrated is beyond me. Outside of Disney's oversized monsters, they've been featured in how much media? Very little. And besides it makes more sense for a theropod of Carnotaurus' size to view humans as prey compared to super theropods like Giganotosaurus and Rex)

Media schmedia. They were everywhere, carnotaurus toys, books, stuffed animals... I just got sick of 'em. They're too distinct for a show like this.. Too recognizable. Plus, I have a feeling we'll see a ton of non-contemporary dinosaurs crammed in there for the hell of it. On the wiki page it has Tarbosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and Carnotaurus all coexisting. Arggh. Good point about the Carnotaurus being more likely to hunt humans, though. I never understood why movie dinos like Gwangi and the T Rex from Planet of the Dinosaurs were so interested in eating humans. And don't get me started on why T Rexes are so occupied with bony Ann Darrow...

Anyways, I'll stop being a tight@$$ for now and check out the premiere tonight before I make any real judgements...

I'm still trying to grasp how a beast we know very little about aside speculation can be described as "overrated." Are we really fanbasing th animal kingdom here?

Can I claim Nitrospirae is the most overrated form of bacteria?

by **RedZillaKing** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 3:36 pm

LMAO! Do it up, but bacteria aren't animals

. I don't see any problem with fanbasing the Animal Kingdom... We idolize sports heroes because they're faster, stronger, and have better coordination than us... Some animals have all that AND can eat us! Goooooo Tigers!!

Anyways, now I'm really excited for Terra Nova because I saw on the channel guide that it's 2 hours long! It saved me from watching the friggin' Housewives! Wooooooot!

Well that's just the premier, I'm 99.9% sure that it normally will be one hour long.

I will refuse to come here around the time it starts though. I'm gonna miss the first hour or so because of class. I have it set to record, but I'm not having any of you ruin it for me!

So we're halfway done and it's decent so far. The CGI is kinda mediocre though.

EDIT
Okay well it's over. Pretty good.
