Sometimes I think Terra Nova exists to disappoint me with its lack of dinosaurs. I really wanted to like it, but there's just so much wasted potential in a dystopian future/past, and they spend it all on dumb teenagers going on dates and family drama that could have worked anywhere.
That's why I felt I had to apologize for liking it. I mean, it really is Jason's abs that have me there, because otherwise, it is soooooo dumb. It's too Disney!
Also, WTF with the POC's being all "tribal" and evil and shit? That is just... GAH.
Like I said, Jason. Abs. Sometimes dinos. (Similar to my H5-O rationale). Alex O'Loughlin. Abs. Funny Danno. Chin&Kono. Sometimes dinos. I mean, sharks.
Warning: A large amount of feelings about Terra Nova incoming!
A:JKLLDKFJL Why is everyone on that show so stupid? You have giant dinosaurs walking around the place, and you build tiny wooden fences that can't keep anything out! I love drinking as much as the next person, but not even the nectar of the gods could have me drinking outside where I could become dinosaur food.
And the Sixers... They do have technology. Why do they look like their idea of a shower or a bath is to roll in the mud? If the main military guy is so evil, why don't they try to recruit and spread dissent rather than randomly drive around threatening to shoot people?
Jewel rocks, no matter what. I want her in everything. Okay, that might be too much to see, but I want her in lots of stuff. Another meaty, great role that suits her, somewhere. I want that for a lot of people from Firefly and SGA, as it happens. Only with fewer crime procedurals written by monkeys.
Oh right, non-consensual mind wipe. That's a trope I'd like to be mind-wiped of.
I figured Secret Circle would be diluted VampDi so I didn't bother. Revenge is like chocolate-covered pretzels. I mean, not *artisanal* chocolate-covered pretzels but lots of salt! and saturated fat! and chocolate!

Also, everything is so CLEEEEEAAAAAN. WHYYYYYY? (Except for the Sixers, o'course.)

I've always thought Jewel Staite looked more conventionally pretty in photos, but she has a quirkiness onscreen that I find more appealing.
Ben and Lisa are fine as far as I know, but Dean asked Cas to memory-wipe them (without their consent).

Also, I only watched about two minutes of it because I could tell it wasn't my thing, but Green Wing is online and Tamsin Greig is the star.
