Hoomans sent back from the 23rd century, through a portal, back among the dino's 85 millions years previous.
What's not to to like?
Oh - and the lovely Shelley Conn is in it too.
EDIT Sky1 @ 8pm
yep gunna try it, but not to worried if it's crap as House is back next week, YAY!
Though the one way time portal premise is very Julian May (and probably others)
Name ( I can't watch the youtube vid)?
clubber - as you asked so politely - it's called Terra Nova.
[i]as you asked so politely[/i]
😆
Is it aimed at kids or grownups, you buffoon?
Ta 😉
Hit series link before which means, I'll record the forget about then stumble across it when my sky box starts crashing as it's full. I'll then delete it because I won't have time to watch it.
It's a Spielberg thing, init. Can't see it being anything other than tragic.
The video clips on IMDB have rather put me off.
I watched about half an hour of this a few days ago, it was truly awful I thought.
@ z1ppy, House back THIS week on Thursday.Wouldn't want you to miss best programme on.Sky+ already set.
Looks terrible so I have just set the Sky+ to record it.
Sounds like Swiss Family Robinson in Space - again. 🙂
It's more like Stargate crossed with Jurassic Park. It also has the dude from Avatar in it who can only play domineering military leaders. But with a beard.
It looks awful.
I love the premise, but it's difficult to see where they're going with the storyline, unless it ends up being one of those cringeworthy human drama things which concentrates on relationship, snot-nosed kids that get into minor trouble and some kind of love-triange while the bigger picture is lost in a mess of technobabble.
So I'll probably watch it too.
Ho ho typical STW response - stamp ALL over it with deep sea diving boots before it's born. You gotta love this town.
But we're all saying we're going to give it a chance!
A lot of US Sci-Fi comes with very high expectations, but leaves me feeling quite cheated somehow. I grew up reading Asimov, Clarke, Niven & Pournelle etc and the stories never really translate well.
I was wrong about BSG though.

Uhhh... hate to break this to you... 😉
Pete68, cheers for the heads up on the correct date.. fanatic viewing, pity the tv guide spoiled this series premise (I assume the whole series will be set 'there' like the pycho ward), but you do get yet another different House setting... not your average TV doctor series!
Little lost as to why House gets so little love here, but Europe loves it.
Oh look another US series with some pointless reason for flashy computer generated monsters. 🙄
I ache to see just well made grown-up, believable, well scripted drama about real people with real things to say about the world, or relationships, or life in the modern world, rather than this sort of far fetched fairy story nonsense.
Really!
But we're all saying we're going to give it a chance!
Not me, tis a raging festival of cheese for sure, you will do really well to get to the end of the first episode.

You've already seen it haven't you? 🙂
Oh and for some reason the army dudes wear Dainese body armour, perfect protection against bullets and dinosaurs.
Anyway, enjoy!
What's not to to like?
Nearly everything?
Oh look another US series with some pointless reason for flashy computer generated monsters.
Name 3 others?
X Files
Battle star Galatica
Star Trek
Firefly
Doll house
Angel...
Need I go on? 😀
No, as you prove my point. 6 sci-fi series going back over 20+ years. Not as if it is wall to wall now is it?
Now if I listed other genres of US shows, crime dramas would blow sci-fi out the water.
8)
I just read along my housemates DVD collection. They're always on here 🙄
So this is really about issues with your housemate.
Let me guess, they are always watching X-Files when you want to watch Dancing With The Stars?*
Bastards!
*Which, it could be said, features some garish monsters of its own.
Well, I saw both episodes last night...
...you know exactly where I'm going to go with this don't you? 😉
It made Primeval look like a Bafta award winner...
I was rooting for the slashy, bitey dinosaurs towards the end of the second episode.
It also has the dude from Avatar in it who can only play domineering military leaders. But with a beard.
Thought I recognized him.

Firefly
I'm guessing you've never seen Firefly then.
Looks interesting, reminds me of The Walking Dead, which I've been enjoying. Will definitely give it a go, and unlike the rest of STW, I can actually wait until I experience something before having an extremely strong opinion on the matter.
Just to make everyone else feel old, it was 18 years ago when Jurassic Park came out. Time for a new dinosaur thing I'd say.
emsz - MemberI ache to see just [a] well made grown-up
You called?
Well I watched both episodes last night and quite liked it. Yes it was cheesy and a bit crap but it was enjoyable. I have series linked it but fully expect it to deteriorate into unwatchable crap by the second series.
I'm guessing you've never seen Firefly then.
I was thinking, she's essentially listing my favourite shows there...
I've been following the progress of Terra Nova for a while now. I had high hopes but low expectations.
Actually I quite liked it too. It needs to deliver on the plot hints though.
At least it's not Falling Skies.
Watch them?
you have to joking, there's running, cooking, cycling, my GF...why would I watch telly?
unless it's buffy...Obviously 😆
you have to joking, there's running, cooking, cycling, my GF..
In that order? 😉
In that order?
I think someone is in trouble.
Of course, surely cycling should come first.
Watched it last night and I'll give it a few more episodes to buck it's ideas up or else I'm out. Reminded me of Jurassic park crossed with lost. Heard it cost 4 million per episode. Don't know how the hell they come to that figure not unless they bought all the plants from q gardens. Nevermind though, he second series of the walking dead starts at the end of the month. Looking forward to it.

People who don't like sci-fi lack imagination.
This looks bobbins however.
🙄 she knows anyway 😆
NOT REALLY SARA. LUV YOU
just in case

Have you tried life?
[i]People who don't like sci-fi lack imagination.[/i]
you've never seen what I can do with nutella then. LOL
Realman, my life was a load of drama for a while, now I'd like it to happen to someone else, LOL
😯you've never seen what I can do with nutella then. LOL
Oh, and there's loads of good dramas that aren't set in space or whatever - The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad spring to mind. 'Spose they are all quite 'crimey' though.
What channel is Breaking Bad on?
Piratebay - it's a new digital channel 😉
I can't believe there are so many 'likers' and people comparing it to decent series, like the walking dead.
The dodgy acting, effects and macho posturing was too much to take - I gave up near the end of the first episode.
Yep The Walking Dead is class, this is pure garbage. My plot synopsis goes like this - Kid rebels, falls for chick, has a crisis of "who are the good guys here?" bats for the other team for a bit, the two sides have a few run ins before having to join forces to battle the evil dinosaur warlord Ghengisaurus, series gets pulled for being garbage.
I saw the pilot. Really very poor, I won't be back for the rest.
"Homeland" looks promising from the first episode though.
Mmmm Buffy...
Sorry, what was the question?
Nutella?? 😯
Mummy I'm frightened.... 😥
