Am I really aggravated because of this? Yes, I am!!...kind of ticked off because I was really looking forward to coming home tonight to watch it tonight. Next week, I'm going to be totally lost, I don't even know why they're there, or what's going on. Can somone please fill me in or tell me where I can go to get filled in? I don't even know who the characters are or what their roles are.

Doh! I haven't checked to see if my Tivo was smart enough to record it correctly last night. Hopefully they will air it online or something.

aggravation! I've got On Demand and those rat-finks don't let you fast forward commercials! I'll have to resort to recording the shows! So far it's entertaining, and it's something I can put on that doesn't aggravate my hubby! (project runway???)

I've seen the first two episodes so far, will probably watch #3 tonight. Steven Spielberg, along with many of the others who are involved with Terra Nova, also has another new series out called Falling Skies. Falling Skies seems a lot more interesting to me, at least at this point. Terra Nova should develop more of their storyline related to all the rock drawings near the stream outside of the camp. I was hoping that they were somehow connected to all the theories about aliens visiting Earth in the past, etc. We shall see...

I watched it on OnDemand last night. Yes, not being able to FF through commercials is lame, but it's still a good backup if you forget to DVR it. This week, the baseball game threw me off and for some reason I thought it wasn't even on at all.
I think it's hilarious that by the 2nd episode, both the teenage son & daughter have love interests and the wife has an old boyfriend back in the picture!

John, thank you so much for this. I'm going to watch these as soon as I get home from work. Then I'll be caught up.

My tivo still managed to record it completely. Although I was not very impressed by this episode.

I watched the first 2 episodes and was not impressed. By the 3rd, I got bored & switched it off. No more watching Terra Nova for me.
The premise is interesting but the show itself is just blah.

Thanks to John, I was able to watch the 1st episode so far. I still have to watch two and three before Monday. So far this is the best tv series ever. It's all of my interests and hobbies all tied into one tv series. It's also pretty accurate, too. I mean, 80 myo-65 myo would have been like mid-Cretaceous, but that "Slasher" dinosaur looked like a Cryolophosaurus or a therapod similar to that species, to me. As far I can remember I think they lived like during the early Jurassic period, so they wouldn't have been around in Terra Nova. If those were Cryos, I don't recall them having tails like that, either. I could be wrong, it's just that it looked like a Cryo to me. Oh, and I loved how they showed what the moon would have looked like at that time, and where some of the stars would have been. I haven't watched the other episodes yet, but that would be really cool if they put the Spinosaurus in some of the episodes if they haven't already -one of my favorite species of dinosaurs.
Thanks again, John.

What did people think about Mondays episode? I thought it was a little better but still on the fence about the show.

^^^I'll probably watch it this weekend. I started dozing off during the third episode. I'm starting not to like it. It's just that it's getting boring and the acting isn't very convincing.

OMG! I just watched last nights episode and that might be the last time I watch it. I could not get over the "fixing" of the broken dinosaur egg and keeping it as a pet. Really?!

Totally agree... SO cheesy.
And I don't get the head guy being judge, jury, executioner and overall dictator. Doesn't seem like something that people would tolerate.

I could almost see that just because it seems to be run like a military operation more than anything else.
