. Is it me or does this show remind you of Jurassic park?

New Trailer for the upcoming mini-series from Spielberg which is filmed in Australia btw!
Yes it is, but this "not being up to snuff" story is fishy to me: either a PR gag to make the series sound better, or the guys in post production screwed up and didn't finish their job in time.
.
They didn't screw up, it just took longer than they thought. That and the guys filming didn't get enough footage for the pilot because of the amount of VFX in the show - it was hard to judge. This wasn't delayed that long btw, it was just meant to have its pilot air in the spring/summer ala Glee to build momentum. Alas due to the aforementioned problems they could not do that.
The trailer looks good though so I'm hoping it holds up
I suppose they don't want to alter History... So interbreeding with their potential ancestors might not be a good idea. Perhaps that's why they chose the dinos, knowing they'd be wiped out anyway.So, from what I gather the story is this (?) Earth is screwed up, time travel discovered, so, ppl travel back in time, end up in a time on Earth where there are still Dino's. If correct, is this time choice intentional? I mean it wouldn't make much sense if they are hoping to re-boot humanity. They will fail as the dino's did, you still got that big asteroid or meteor coming at the Yucatan Peninsula that created the mass extinction event that wiped out the dino's and much of everything else above ground--so why intentionally go there? there is so much more time available later in time where conditions would be far more optimal-even most of the vegetation during the Dino's age(s) was not like todays and would most likely be inedible, and very few, really small mammals to add to the menu as well. Not to mention that at the right time, there would be humans of the proper DNA type that would allow for interbreeding, otherwise those 1,000 (is it ?) selected won't be lasting long.
So what's the deal?
Uh yeah..but they will be wiped out as well, and, if they do somehow survive (the M.E.E. caused a global cooling, sun blocking for probably centuries-at least-for the entire planet here is a linkhttp://rainbow.ldeo.columbia.edu/courses/v1001/impact23.html ) , they will alter history as well. This is one of the problems when creators mix too much reality/history with sci-fi or fantasy-they skew things their way so that their plots ring true. Just make it totally sci-fi and send them to another planet instead :icon_e_wink:
I agree. I don't understand why they don't go for that either. I mean, if you're doing time-travel, then a trip to another planet shouldn't be a big deal...
:Like I said somewhere..can't remember where now...its these big build-ups and flashy trailers that maybe are adding to disappointment when the shows actually air--the anticipation quagmire. I am just trying my best to deflate it in what ever minute way
but seriously-
Terra Nova's PTB are "making this bed" (the one of upcoming extinction for just about everything on the planet from the asteroid/meteor strike) now they got to deal with it--or--hope that too many American viewers are ignorant enough and probably didn't learn it in school, so, they just won't address it, so they'll do the :smiley-lala: thing
agreed imo dot judge a book by its cover and go into it with an open mind instead of first reading the cover and maybe going into it with a closed mind.

There were "dinosaurs" for literally hundreds of millions of years on Earth. Humans haven't even been around for the blink of an eye compared to the dinosaur epoch. So, the humans could pick a time countless millions of years before the meteor event. Just to be clear, I'm saying they would have a time frame of millions of years in which to evolve the human race again. The human race could literally grow extinct itself within that time "cushion" regardless of the impending meteor.
So, the worry about a meteor ruining everything is a moot point if you time it right, n'est pas?
