Terra Nova Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Terra Nova Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Terra Nova Premieres on FOX on September 26, 2011



TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in jeopardy, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.

When scientists at the FERMI Particle Accelerator unexpectedly discovered a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past - a second chance to rebuild civilization and get it right this time.

The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet foreboding land. JIM SHANNON (Jason O'Mara, "Life on Mars"), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Jim's wife, ELISABETH (Shelley Conn, "Mistresses"), is a trauma surgeon and the newest addition to Terra Nova's medical team. JOSH (Landon Liboiron, "Degrassi: The Next Generation") is their 17-year-old son who is angry to leave life as he knows it behind; upon arriving at the settlement, he finds himself instantly drawn to the beautiful and rule-breaking SKYE (Allison Miller, "Kings"). MADDY (Naomi Scott, "Life Bites"), Josh's endearingly awkward 15-year-old sister, hopes Terra Nova will give her a chance to reinvent herself. Although Elisabeth's medical training secured the family a spot on the pilgrimage, a secret involving their five-year-old daughter, ZOE (newcomer Alana Mansour), soon endangers their place in this utopia.

Upon the Shannons' arrival, they are introduced to COMMANDER NATHANIEL TAYLOR (Stephen Lang, "Avatar"), the charismatic and heroic first pioneer and leader of the settlement. Taylor warns the travelers that while Terra Nova is a place of new opportunities and fresh beginnings, all is not as idyllic as it initially appears. Along with blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, the surrounding terrain is teeming with danger - and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. There is also a splinter colony of renegades led by the battle-hardened MIRA (Christine Adams, "TRON: Legacy"), who is vehemently opposed to Taylor and his leadership.

Even more threatening than what lies outside the protective walls of the colony is the chilling possibility that something sinister is happening inside Terra Nova. The Shannons will come to suspect that not everyone on this mission has the same idea of how to best save mankind; in fact, there may be forces intent on destroying this new world before it even begins.

1x01 Genesis, Part 1 of 2

That was one hell of a plan Elisabeth had to break Jim out of prison and get them all to Terra Nova including Zoe but Zoe feeding the dinosaurs was nice

1x02 Genesis, Part 2 of 2

Skye is a bit of a hand full but she managed to distract Josh from the girl he left behind

I can image having lots of problems with the episode names for the rest of the season

It looks like they have split the first episode now

1x03 Instinct

It was so predictable that Zoe would be in their bed when Jim went outside to check the noise and this was like a strange re-make of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds

I had a felling Malcolm would take advantage of Elisabeth with the outbreak of the virus and if Jim kissed Elisabeth to cure her who kissed the Commander

1x05 The Runaway

That was cleaver sending Leah as a spy and finding out about her brother was sad but glad they could reunite her with Sam, Maddy's face with the boil was funny

TOP

TOP

1x06 Bylaw

Foster payed the ultimate price for messing with the wrong guy but Howard taking the blame because he thinks Rebecca was responsible was impressive and the way they flushed out the real killer was great

TOP

1x07 Nightfall

Considering the look on Skye's face when removing the parasite she had a sense of hummer saying you'll be all right only 25 feet to go

TOP

1x08 Proof

Maddy realising he contradicted himself and then the discrepancy in his signature was impressive but close call hiding under the desk and it's a good job the codeword asparagus worked

1x09 Vs.

Taylor's son being responsible for the rock drawing was interesting
