Don’t get me wrong. I do like Terra Nova but I think it can do better. I’m talking about the most recent episode from Monday, October 17. To talk about all the plot holes I’d have to watch all the episodes over again but I have a lot of other things to watch and pages to write.

So, where to begin? Let’s talk about how they knew the little girl was even out there. The thermal imaging scan. It can pick up a little girl but not a militia?

Okay, fine, they found the girl. She gave a sob story about being lost. They took her in. The leader of the Sixers arrived with a team of men to get the girl back. How lame was Commander Nathaniel Taylor’s threat? I hope the dialogue gets better. Fast forward to the girl saying she wants to stay and the Sixers leaving. Why didn’t anyone follow them? There would have been tracks. At least there should have been tracks.

The little girl said they moved around a lot but they’re living in trees and looked pretty settled to me. Of course she could have been lying. But let’s talk about the trees. No one noticed trees that look different? They would have looked different if they had homes built into them. And that’s another thing. Wouldn’t some of the leaves be dying in places?

The top two contenders for the spy are still (in my opinion) the scientist (the wife’s ex) and the guy courting Maddy. Please, writers, don’t make it either of those two. They’re so obvious.

With such potential it’s disappointing the writers haven’t done more. I know a lot of sci fi shows have plots that are similar. It would be nice though if the writers gave us some twists we’re not expecting. And some dialogue I can’t recite before the characters even speak it. I’d love to see some fresh writing in future episodes.

What do you think of the show? Do you love it? Hate it?

I’m testing a new Twitter app with this blog post so I hope it shows up!

Until next time…
