Anyone watched this already? Finally the show that everyone's been talking about for the last 6 months, Terranova, debuted this week in the US...sadly, to mediocre ratings... Really like the storyline and especially the dinosaur parts... but altogether I thought the characters were very flat and uni-dimensional and everything was very predictable... found it a bit 'too American'

I'm watching it, but it sounds like Jurassic Park meets Stargate with some Primeval thrown in...

Does anyone else see a major flaw in the plot?
I'm no expert, but if I were in charge of saving Humanity from extinction, I wouldn't be cosying up to the dinosaurs...

Also, weren't the dinosaurs wiped out by a big freeze? And what's going to happen when the proper original hominids start to exist?

After watching the first 2 episodes, I'm actually hooked, interesting concept, and its got a story to it, without giving too much away just in case no one has seen the first couple of episodes. The cast gel well together.

The pilot episode was a proper film but I wasn't hooked as I know what to expect from it - LOST + Jurassic Park...

I meant to watch this,but forgot. It's not a very catchy title : 'Terranova'.

3rd ep held on to 100% or pilot ratings so should be okay for full season. Just if Fox can justify the massive cost and order a 2nd season

It's alright, a bit predictable in places, and where's the token fat kid?

Pleasantly surprised by this series, really enjoying it. It did remind me of a similar series on the BBC from earlier this year which i can't remember the name of.

i saw half of episode 1 on the plane home from china. i have to say it looked like an interesting premise but could have been done a lot better.

thought it was an ok-ish show to watch... hate it how it's all based on those Nielsen tv ratings, which of course don't consider people taping or watching online...
