Where I live it's on at 7pm(Central Standard Time in the States) on Mondays. There are also some of the reruns sometimes able to be found on youtube, but it takes forever to find them and they will often disappear due to the whole copyright spiel and such. Over here it's on Fox, but I don't know what local stations in Canada broadcast it.

I really like this show, but I read somewhere that they're probably cancelling it. :(

Terra Nova = Survivor + Stargate + Avatar + Lost = Suckage^(1/0)

At least in Jurassic Park,.. they were smart enough to put up large electric fences, really big gates and doors on their electric vehicles.

If Terra Nova takes place in 2026 < dont quote me on that You would of thought they would be smart enough to realize that their little fence wasn't going to keep out even the smallest dino's, and someone forgot about the big flying one's ?????

Terra Nova doesn't seem to be too bad, good characters and situations

but the general lack of anything reasonably factual or safe IMO makes it unwatchable for me (.ie all that technology and yet sooo dumb.)

What? I hope not. I think it's the best show that's yet been made this decade... it would surprise me if Fox does cancel it like they did Firefly though. :evil:

I recently got into watching "Dead like Me" on the internet. It's a really funny show. And also "Six Feet Under". I watched them all. Stagevu.com was where I went. They also have a lot of the other shows I like.

I hate that I'm only now getting into old shows.

I'm always catching up.

The only thing Avatar-esque is Steven Lang and the only thing Stargate-esque is the temporal portal. I've never watched Survivor or Lost, so I couldn't say about those, but even if it were to be considered "Jurassic Park: the miniseries" as another person said, that would still be awesome in my opinion. They've done a good job as far as I'm concerned, regardless of whether people can see elements of this or that or everything else in the history of the universe in it.

Actually, it wouldn't be too far of a venture to consider that as a general principle:

With increasing technological convenience is decreasing human intellect.

Not due to anything genetic, since there would be no causation there, but due to increasing mental laziness that convenience allows for.

Even if so, I say: awesome! I loved Jurassic Park, and still do, so even if it were just a TV series of Jurassic Park that would be fine for me.

Well, there are at least three more episodes so far and the synopsis of tonight's episode is this:

Quote:
Taylor and Mira square-off in the jungle where he learns more about her plans and about his son. But then they both face a pre-historic enemy they must conquer together. Meanwhile, the "Sixer" mole scrambles to cover its tracks as Terra Nova goes on lockdown and Jim closes in. Also, Zoe faces a difficult decision as the Ankylosaur she has been caring for grows rapidly.
