Synopsis:



Episode 4 of 13

This is my last one unless it improves alot.

I just checked Jon Cassar's Twitter feed and apparently they wrapped production on the season 3 days ago. All 13 episodes are definitely going to air. A 2nd season is a question mark.

AJW

DVR Padding Warning: Baseball is in extra innings.

DJariya

Going into the 11th inning. And this is baseball....extra innings could last hours. East and Central Markets are fucked tonight.

DJariya

Going into the bottom of the Inning. Better hope for a walkoff, otherwise Terra Nova will be pushed back at least 1 hour.

I'm in the West coast, so my only concern if extra innings lasts too long, FOX may postpone this and House.

Orbi-Wan Techno

So much for watching this tonight.... I'll catch it OnDemand later this week...

DJariya

Game winning walf off Grand Slam by the Rangers.

If your in the East and not watching live, Padding 1 hour will do the trick.

Fist of Doom

A walkoff grand slam, no less.

Shazam

Fucking Christ, they recycle a fucking Star Trek plot. Well, I guess that's being green.

mikehunt

there's another one
oh shit it's the one that wiped out the aahhhhhhhhhhhh

This show is Voyager on Earth.

It sucks.

Amnesia, a virus and paint-by-numbers predictable all in one episode!?! At this pace the show could hit every damn sci-fi cliche by the end of the season.

I should just drop this already. It really is quite terrible.

DJariya

Okay, Through 4 episodes this was definitely my least favorite. I know some of you are begging for a reason not to watch, but I'm in until the season finale. But, the plot for this episode wasn't really compelling.

The narrative was structured like an old Star Trek: TNG "Conflict of the week" episode.

An amnesia causing pathogen and go figure....Jim's cold virus was the cure.

It was somewhat interesting at the end about Josh trying to get contact with his girlfriend in 2149 and the bar owner ended up being a mole for the Sixers.

Next week's episode does look alot more interesting.

Great episode last night, Rangers Walk-Off Homerun!

I hope he knows that it is going to be a longshot to get a second season and hopefully he wraps up it all up this year, but leave it open for another season.

I liked Voyager!

Gizmo

I'm out.

If this was a Summer show, I'd probably last longer. But after watching the Pilot and half of the second episode...I just deleted it all. This is bad.

I think we were all thinking the same thing. Didn't take long for me to realize I was watching a Star Trek episode at a Federation outpost on a jungle planet.

Terra Nova Season Finale is scheduled for Dec. 19. The back 9 orders were not picked up.

I am not sure this will get picked up next season as the show is very expensive and takes a lot of time to complete and the ratings are only mediocre.

DJariya

It's been known for a few months that this was only going to be a 13 episode season. The cast and crew already left Australia after shooting the finale. If this gets a 2nd season, FOX is contractually obligated to order 22 episodes.

TGM

this show is like watching a train heading towards a cliff at 2 miles an hour.

Braga!

From everything I have read, there will not likely be another season. The ratings keep falling, the show is too expensive and the critical consensus is abysmal.

Josh-da-man

I wonder if there was anyone who didn't figure out that Jim's cold was going to prevent him from getting the amnesia and provide an easy cure?

DJariya

That was a no brainer. This episode wasn't written by Brannon Braga, who all you Star Trek nuts keep ripping on, but I think this type of Sci-Fi plot is so dated.
