Terra Nova

Currently deciding if I'm going to watch the rest or claw my eye balls out....


50/50 odds at the moment.

Terra Nova....

I'll chose to ignore the environmental nightmare world of 2149 and look at the general stuff.  This is pretty non-spoilery...

- population enforcement?  In 2149...  Hmmm...  seems unlikely to me, but it's a plot thing
- Tech level looks the same as 2011 to me, except for the USB stick sized super laser cutters...
- Don't understand the time-rift bit... not clear if it's 1-way or if they can send signals back but not people... either way, doesn't make sense
- Characters are a tad wooden...  in so far as you could make an entire bookcase out of the kids alone
- a LOT of Brit/Irish cast members is distracting, especially the ones who've been in Doctor Who and are sporting dodgy American accents
- Apparently they don't have very many black people in 2149

There is some potential in the questions they actually opened but didn't answer...

- how does having a human civilisation 85m years in the past interact with the future timeline?
- who are the "sixes"?
- are the Terra Nova management all they seem?

It's pretty, glossy, schlock... not sure if it's worth sticking with though.
