People complaining about some holes and everything is just ridiculous with a series that is sending people 80million years in the past. Okay folks, I get it that for most of you high and mighty reviewers Terra Nova seems to be dumb. What are the relevant issues in this world and how do they impact the inhabitants?

But behavior is influenced by situation and it should bring unique fears, force some creativity, plus there is an obvious ability to have impact in such a small population. Yes, it's good to have varying levels of behavior not everyone has to be brilliant or saintly. I doubt that teens would act like that if they were in this situation. Maybe this is a world where teens use their capable brains in new and interesting ways, rather than as trite selfish brats who need babysitting.

Why can't there be some original thinking about how people might behave in such a precarious situation with an uncertain future, dinosaur threats, and a competing population. I doubt that would be the case if they had really just left an overpopulated, dangerously polluted world run by a harshly militaristic government. It's like they just moved there from Orange County. The whole family thing has the wrong feel for the situation. And that's okay, but that doesn't mean that Terra Nova is badly done by any means. If you don't like those kinds of shows, guess what? You won't like this. Sort of a loose contemporary spin on Lost in Space, but with dinosaurs. Overall, Terra Nova does what it aims to do well. The b-plots can tread on tired ground, as I have mentioned above, but the a-plots are solid. It's interesting and exciting and entertaining. It's not LOST, but geeze, why should anything else try to be LOST? LOST was LOST and this is Terra Nova, and it is good at what it is. Overall, the stories have been pretty good, and never what I would consider to be offensively unwatchable.

Stephen Lang and Christine Adams as opposing leaders of Terra Nova and the Sixers are probably the strongest performers of the lot. How often in dinosaur flicks do you get to have 'sweet' (not ooky-gooky, just tender) moments between characters? Not that often.

In that manner, I find it kind of refreshing to mash up family-friendliness with sci-fi stuff. Every single storyline for him is a mess of clichГ©s, from 'son is inexplicably always angry with father' to 'son is horny and will do stupid things for a hot chick' to 'son is a moron and really deserves to die, but he is a main character, so we will kill someone else to teach him a Very Important Lesson.' The middle daughter is much more tolerable and her storyline is (dare I say it?) sweet. I think that probably without him, a lot more people wouldn't have so much to complain about. The son is the dreaded 'worst offender' of the show. After that, she's just too cutesy-wootsy and tends to get in the way. The daughter seems to mainly have existed as a plot point in the pilot: to give the family a reason to escape to Terra Nova and ratchet up the stakes while still building sympathy for the parents. I will agree that two of the children: the youngest daughter and the eldest son, are grating and pointless. Jason O'Mara and Shelley Conn have great chemistry and I have enjoyed watching their characters rekindle their relationship. The cast and characters are generally well-done. The dinosaurs are better than anything I've seen on television, and I admire the care and planning that has been put into the futuristic trappings. Calling something 'family friendly' doesn't really offend my sensibilities- why can't families have shows that are appropriate for all members to watch? True, the gore and body-count in the series is noticeably lower than we have be trained to expect from any offering that features dinosaurs, but I never finish an episode and say, 'Gee, I wish more characters had died and exposed their shredded flesh on camera to preserve my sense of realism this time!' Obviously, the graphics and scenery are really well done, as one would expect from all the hype surrounding the large-budget production. I've watched five or so episodes of Terra Nova thus far, and I think it is quite good, definitely not the drivel that one would believe from scrolling through the first couple of pages of reviews on IMDb.
