TV You Should Know About....9

Last night was the premiere of Fox's long delayed awaited future sci-fi, action, dinosaur thriller "Terra Nova." And it was well worth the wait!! The production team spared no expense on developing this first episode...the CG effects were very well done and seemed to last throughout, not to mention the physical effects and props which were also spot on. These developments are some of my favorite parts of the show, but it also worries me because they seriously expand the budget on the production which has led to cancellation for other big sci-fi themed shows. I'm just hoping the viewer base is large enough to last at least a second season.
The characters had 2 hours worth of premiere to give give us a peek at who they are and who they may develop into on this new "frontier" I'm trying not to give anything away. The casting was also well done w/ Stephen Lang (from AVATAR) as Commander Taylor was a perfect fit...he was basically type casted because of his performance in Avatar i'm sure but regardless. Come to think of it...this show has a lot of nods to Avatar: science/military working 'together' on a foreign land, large creatures which pose a threat, future tech...etc. Maybe that's part of the reason I like it so much?! Anyway, this is a show you need to watch, if you can't fit it into your schedule, at least watch the premeire below...if you can swing it, it will be on Monday nights at 8pm right before House...yes, Monday's are a great night of TV again!
