I find the guy to be wrong but the analogy is so awesome to avoid not sharing
Terra Nova is analogous to the Hubble Space Telescope. Within weeks of a much publicized and ballyhooed launch in 1990, the Hubble was found to have a serious flaw. Yet even with an improperly ground mirror the Hubble delivered extraordinary images. When the flaw was corrected the Hubble delivered images of transcendent beauty and value for many years. So too Terra Nova. Even in it’s flawed first season each episode was full of marvelous moments and beautiful images. With correction, and given the chance, Terra Nova can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. Failing to renew Terra Nova is shortsighted, as myopic as it would have been to scrap the Hubble. Terra Nova is the Hubble Telescope of television.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

no the problem with the show was a poor antagonist.
it SHOULD have been the dinosaurs, and the alien world they were living. but it wasn't. it was some stupid dirty rebels and some uber-conspiracy.
making it all about humans doesn't always work. look at the transformers movies. why were there people in them? it made them so stupid.

It has to be about humans, otherwise why should the audience care? For me, the first Transformers was a great movie. The second movie fell apart with the stupid college humor, but the third was an improvement. My main beef with the two sequels was Shia's character. Each movie promised him a bright future, but each sequel started with him right back where he started. Why would he leave his transformer friends for college? Why would the NSA or whoever it was in the third movie not let him in? Stupid, stupid, stupid. As for Terra Nova, it's obvious. The threats should have come from dinosaurs, poisonous plants, disease, people growing desperate as future comforts wear thin, and so on.

Terra Nova has not seen such finetuning, which is really a shame. I just mean the show could have been really good if the writers would have gotten a chance to correct the mistakes they made in the first Season. Centering the Story on the Family kind of was a bad move for example since Teenage angst doesnt seem to be liked at all anymore.

I did watch all the episodes but I realize the potential the show had and thought it was kind of wasted. Maybe if they get a 2nd season they will be able to remedy the situation.sigpic
