Hey MoFos!
I'm curious to see what everyone thinks of "Terra Nova." I watched the 2-hour premiere last night, and so far I'm pretty intrigued.
Here are some quick little thoughts I'd like to share:
- I like the overlying premise of the show. Humans destroy the planet and are forced to create a new civilization in the past - pretty interesting concept.
- Visually, this show has impressed me. I was afraid the dinosaurs would be too CGI-ish but they're not half bad. I also like that there are new dinosaurs (like the Slasher and Carnotaurus).
- I'm not too keen on the family drama aspect, but I suppose it's necessary to keep the show interesting. It's just a bit cliche - you have the teenage son who's pissed about leaving his girlfriend behind, the nerdy tweenage daughter who gets stuck taking care of the youngest daughter, the do-good doctor wife who just wants a fresh start, and the ex-cop hubby with the stick up his a**.
- Lovin' Stephen Lang! He's probably the most interesting/badass person in the show so far.
- The Sixers are an interesting addition. All season I will be wondering if they are good or evil.
The best way I can describe the series (so far) is that it's a combination of "Jurassic Park" and "Lost." We'll have to see how the rest of the series plays out, but I have high hopes!
Did anyone else check it out? What do you think so far?
