lazypadawanI watched the season premiere of "TerraNova" last night, a pricey show with Frieda Pinto, she of "Slumdog Millionaire" fame. The premiere seemed to be a pop culture pastiche, with elements of "Blade Runner" (or AOTC for that matter), "Avatar," "Lost," CW teen dramas, and most especially "Jurassic Park."
The effects were pretty good and I've seen far duller shows than this one. But one thing gets me.
If you could live some time in the past, WHY WOULD YOU LIVE AMONG BIG DINOSAURS THAT COULD EAT YOU?!

I thought the production values and FX were really good and Stephen Lang can take a cliched role and make it good. But the annoying brat son bothered the hell out of me.
That was Frieda Pinto? I'm glad she had more to do here than her thankless role in (the awesome) Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
