Just Jack Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Just started watching the first episode tonight, only about 1/2 hour in. Do they ever explain why they go back to the dinosaur age? Seems to me, knowing a meteor wiped out the dinos, you wouldn't want to go back that far. Or did they have no choice on where in time the portal sent them?

John Adams Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 BTW, the latest episode was definitely the best in terms of building some of the larger plot. But more importantly, watching it with a kid (my 9 year old) makes me appreciate it. She loves the show. LAughs at all the corny stuff. Enjoys that stories are wrapped up neatly each night. It may have a lot of appeal to a younger demographic...and just enough appeal to the LOST crowd to bring us together. If I was watching without her, I might have bailed out. Now that she likes it, I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 See, that's very cool to hear. Scene : a conference room somewhere in Hollywood, big time producer seated at the table Character tgreg enters tgreg : "Boss, the numbers are in, 80% of male Bills fans between the ages of 20-50 like the show" boss : "80%?! I need 95% to make up for the lack of support among Redskin fans! If your plan of infiltrating NFL teams message boards to pump up our products and gauge their reaction to our new movies and shows doesn't work out, I'll send you back to the Disney channel team!" tgreg : "No!!!! Anywhere but there! iCarly was the worst show out there but the tweens love it for some god damn reason!" boss chomps down on his cigar boss : "Har har har!!!!!"

The sad part is, I'm on the Disney team already -- at least for the time being. It is always hilarious to see the reaction to peeps at work when I reference something from Off The Wall (which I do a lot)! For one thing, they can never seem to grasp the fact that the Bills' have enough fans to warrant a message board. Secondly, they can never really understand why I've been coming here for over 10 years. Of course, sometimes my posts on here get me in trouble But that's because I forget this thing is attached to a bigger element called the interwebs. But in this case, I have nothing to do with Terra Nova. The show I'm currently writing for doesn't come out til January and something tells me it's not exactly our group's demographic.

John Adams Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 they dont explain that. weird observation though. They had no choice. Let's say a meteor wiped out the dinos. It is millions of years in the future. That's an absurd amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clippers of Nfl Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 i wonder if with new 2150 tech, they avert the whole extinction thing alltogether!!!! that would be lame and awesome at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Let me guess...a cross between Cloverfield and Alf? No, but now I have a BRAND NEW IDEA! They'll never see this one coming! Truth be told I'm working on a Disney show at the moment (just about to hand in my last draft of the season!) but we don't premier until January. So get your DVRs ready!

Gavin in Va Beach Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 mondays episode was very good. fyi. i knew we/one just needed to hang with the show. it was not episodic. This should have been the 2nd or 3rd show. I don't care about daily hijinks, I want to know about the son off living by himself and what he knows. I want to know more about the 6ers. Are they really in the past or an alternate universe? Stay in this vein and we're good. Go back to the 'Dino CSI' crap and I'll probably take it off the DVR, as I was about to until this past show.

But there is one line early on that reminded me of Star Trek (the original series). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
