Something I don't get about Terra Nova

Sep 04, 2011 12:35

So, there's something I don't get about the premise of Terra Nova. Leaving aside the Grandfather Paradox for a moment, if one were to travel back to prehistoric times, to establish a colony with the stated purpose of averting humanity's extinction, why would one do it prior to the K-T Event?

And back to the Grandfather Paradox, they're taking an awful big risk that establishing a modern society on Earth prior to the evolution of humanity isn't going to have an impact on said evolution.

Also, is the name of the colony meant to be ironic, or have they just forgotten how to translate Latin in the future?
