The Resume

    (September 26, 2011-December 19, 2011)
    Fox TV series centering on a family, along with the rest of humanity in 2149 AD, trying to emigrate to a human colony in 85 million BC to escape a future Earth terminally poisoned by pollution
    Starred: Jason O'Mara, Shelly Conn, Christine Adams, Allison Miller, Landa Liboiron, Naomi Scott, Alana Manson, and Stephan Lang
    Executive Producer: Stephen Spielberg

Why Terra Nova might be annoying:

    It flopped, lasting only 13 episodes.
    The silly ass teenage angst of the younger characters was instantly tiresome.
    A conspiracy movement among some of the colonists was irritating and distracting.
    The series pilot took place seven years after the beginning of the emigration to the past, skipping over the early days of colonization which undoubtedly would have been fascinating.
    It was obviously a ripoff of the Jurassic Park movies and several individual episodes were equally obvious ripoffs of movies such as The Birds.
    The actors and actresses were ludicrously over dressed for jungle life.
    There was almost no signs of human culture in the colony: literature, performing arts, or religion.
    It was extremely expensive; the pilot cost 20 million dollars, and each episode cost 4 million dollars to produce.

Why Terra Nova might not be annoying:

    The special effects were excellent!
    The B list cast did a superb job.
    In the pilot, the writers made it clear that when the colonists had gone back in time, they had entered a different timeline eliminating the problem presented by Grandfather Paradox.
    It was filmed primarily in Australia.
    Although it wasn't originally meant to serve as such, the final episode worked superbly as a series finale.
