Thread: Terra Nova

The future of the human race is completely dependent on the colony.

The colony winds-up landing on a planet that resembles prehistoric Earth. The show follows the Shannon family as they struggle to build their new home and populate the planet...and do it right this time. Of course, the irony is that the colony must "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28) for the human polulation to survive and somehow strike a balance once someone determines there are enough humans consuming enough resources on the planet. Good luck with this one! The viewers certainly aren't going to stick around a thousands years for this crisis to develop. I'm just having trouble imagining how this show is going to keep me interested more than a few episodes. We shall see...

It's been basically done, several times. It was called: "Swiss family Robinson".

Weekly timer set. We'll see if it's worth the time...

When they finally turn Sheldon intoa suprvillain I will consider Big Bang Theory to ne Sc Fi. Till then not so much.

That's why I don't think this show will last only a season. It will be interesting the first few shows but half the audience will turn-away by midseason. We shall see...

It's like Outcasts meets Jurassic park.

I was joking. Of course its not sci-fi. I said it was sci-fi friendly.

I was joking too. But I think it would be a way cool episode if he did turn into a supervillian.

Well, I wonder how many peope are going to tune-in this evening? Moreover, I wonder how many people are going to continue to watch when the football game and 2 1/2 Men are on. I get the feeling people are really going to like Terra Nova or really hate it - not many in between. We shall see.
