Terra Nova-Instinct Review and Some Other Stuff

Shocky here- sorry to anyone that this has been going rather slow, had some slight problems along the way and weve all been sick the last week, but while no group discussion posts are up yet, Ill be posting this kind of stuff

   Episode 3 of Terra Nova has given me almost the same feelings as I got from the pilot. Im not really sure f I should bother watching this show but I can see some good things in it. Its good entertainment, for one, but so is Star Trek Voyager with is the kind of thing I watch when Im tired and dont want to think about when Im actually watching. Now Star Trek Voyager isnt all that bad, its just very inconsistent. VERY. Some are good, some are...bad, but Im usually entertained to some degree, afterall bad can be entertaining. Now before I go off topic, Id like to point out that Terra Nova isnt inconsistent. But it is a few other things.
 Im not going to write about this episode as I did the last, because I find that boring, and I only did it because the pilot needed to setup the show, and so did I. This may be a short review if I can condense my thoughts.
 The Good
-the entertainment value, hoards of small dinosaurs swooping in to mob some people are EXCITING
-ACTION!
-Taylor being a Badass, when he commands, you will LISTEN
-Main character guy(yes Ive still been too lazy to go on wikipedia and find out the names) is finally beginning to grow on me, Im actually starting to genuinely like him!A main character!Wow!
-Science that makes sense. Yes, the technobabble solution isnt made up so much of nonsense that even I can sorta get it
-REDSHIRTS!Death by small flying reptiles
-How good this show LOOKS most of the time

The Bad
-Teen Angst plays a guitar, I couldnt believe he could become more  of a stereotype!
-some of the up close dino shots really didnt gel with me, and Im usually good at believing effects, but they just looked like plastic
-no true opening sequence. I LIKE COOL OPENING SEQUENCES, GIVE ME ONE!
(just not a pop song for a theme song please)
-Older Daughter gets shoved to the side for her brother, again, maybe if they tried shed be less of a stereotype and More interesting
-still not really caring...that much

The Not Able to Classify in Good or Bad
-A line.One line. Something after a question on"will it be enough" with the answer,"It had better be." Suddenly I realized I was watching sci-fi TV, and a line that appears in all those shows. Strange feeling from that one...
-being reminded of BSG. Far too many times, just small things. Or Star Trek, but that more of a happy feeling than sad.
-the realization that the reason I may not be fully satisfied with the show, and keep thinking its going to give me more is because I just finished BSG.I wasnt looking for BSG experience when I began Cowboy Bebop. Or when I started Farscape. Or when I watch Star Trek. Theyre each their own things. But this...I dont know, maybe it hasnt come out into its own...

Fortunately its still got lots of time....
or not, this is FOX afterall

Now onto something else Id like to throw in. Going over to IMDb this morning, I didnt expect anything much, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was an important time. Cult Television triumphed today.Finally. Today a show, axed by FOX, loved by a devoted fanbase ,got what it deserved. 10 new episodes and a movie. It doesnt matter whether you like this show, or have never seen it(I actually have.). It doesnt mater the content of the show, or who that fanbase is. It doesnt matter why. What matters, is that a cult show killed by the evil FOX is living and breathing again. This means something for cult TV, like Serenity meant something. Like Star Trek:TMP did back in 1979.
Arrested Development has just beaten all the stupid networks, and what an achievement that is.
