Steven Spielberg's Dino Show "TERRA NOVA"

[wataru]

To be honest, none of the episodes have been epic. The pilot has been the best one so far.

Yknow what this show reminds me of? No Oridinary Family. An ABC show on ABC Family that went for 23 episodes and just got shit canned. It had ratings around 4.0-6.0. Terra Nova is pulling 6.0-8.0 in the ratings (but it's not ABC).

I'm getting a little more into this now; I was waiting to see some more stuff between Taylor and his son.

This and that other Spielberg show Falling Skies both looked like crap to me.

Falling Skies is a lot better than this, really.

I like both equally.

The mediocrity of this show will be its ultimate death. If it were less expensive and ambitious it could maybe get by on just being okay, but a series like this needs uber support in ordert to stay afloat on network tv, especially Fox. As sad as it may be, I doubt we'll get a season 2.

SPOILERS ABOUT "NIGHTFALL" FOLLOW!

Is it just me, or was that Spinosaurus more impressive than the one in JP? I liked how it wasn't this friggin' indestructible monstrosity and it actually seemed (a bit) more accurate. I thought it was pretty cool how it was herded by the Sixers and used as a weapstraction. Easily dealt with thanks to the fact that Taylor is a badass. He continues to be the ONLY character I like on this show.

Was that necessary? It's been out for a week.

Spoiler tags are stupid in any thread.

I'll spoil something for your ON THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!

The youngest daughter does something cliche & cute.
The dad gets his ass kicked by someone/thing.
Taylor acts like a bad ass and says "Wash!" alot.
A lone dinosaur appears and eats the entire episode's budget.
The son acts angsty.

The fact that this show is getting decent reviews and a lot of fans is more then enough for a second season.

I wouldnt call a 3 point drop over 7 weeks 'decent'. Started at 9 and dipped to 6.8 and back to 7 mostly because a dinosaur was in it.

The higher the ratings, the more commercial time sells for, which means the future of a TV show. If the show isnt pulling the ratings wanted to sell commercial time in a timeslot, it gets moved or canceled.

I think it this drops below 5, it'll get shifted to another night and if below 4 it'll get shitcanned.

Pretty much. I haven't come across any fan of this show either, but that's just my anecdotal evidence.

[wataru]

I think it's a safe show for families to watch. Id put my 4 to 13 year old in front of it.

The badass Empirosaur was only a diversion? And is held off so easily? Really? Why bring in such a big bad of a dino only to shrug it off as a tool of the sixers? Fox, when you find a way to bring dinosaurs into your typical drama show, DO SOMETHING NOTABLE WITH THEM.

Yeah, that was kind of lame. It would have been cooler if some people would have gotten eaten in the process.

[HayesAJones]

At least. With the way they showed the thing in the trailer, I was expecting it to go on a rampage and force Taylor and Mira to team up to save their people. THAT would have been cool.

The sonic wave was pretty wicked though. Must've sucked for the people who were near any shelter.

[wataru]

Do you think they WOULDNT have counter measures in case of EMP?

If youve seen ANY of the episodes, then youve seen thsi one. It's basically the same every episode. Just interchangeable dinos. Raptors, Slashers, Spinos..
