Normally I am not much a fan of "Jurrasic park" or "Stargate", but this show cached my attention although it promised to be like this shows. It has a little bit of everything: Jurrasic Park (dinosaurs), Stargate (travelling to a strange place), Lost (the others = the sixers), Star Trek (go where no men has gone before), Avatar (like on a strange planet), Star Wars (the general atmosphere) and Jeremiah (Post-apocalytic-world). Terra Nova has a little bit of all these great series and I only wish that it will survive the first season and not die early like "Flash Forward, "V" and other projects. Outstanding acting for "Stephen Lang (Commander Tyler)" I must say that he is the show-maker! The special-effects (dinosaurs) look a little bit outdated and could need a little improvement. I will follow this show until the end and hope it will last many seasons.
