I watched tonight’s series premiere and it was pretty much as I imagined it would be.

However, did you happen to catch a glimpse of the Obama money in the first half of the show? Yes indeed...it seems that by 2149 Obama has made it onto US currency. You can see him in all his monetary glory when the Jim character pays the bribe to get his baby daughter who is being hidden in a backpack.

This show just begged for mutlichannel audio so I could turn off the @#($(@ background music. During the scene at the Stargate time rift thingy, I had to turn on closed captioning so I could see what the actors were saying. Apparently the sound director gets paid per decibel.

My overall rating: meh!

The special effects were good, but I just really didn't get into the characters. I had the same feeling I did when watching Jurassic Park: the the dinosaurs were more three dimensional than the people. I would have probably thrown my shoe at the TV if I had seen the Obama money.

A book series of similar topic with one way time travel into the past which I would love to see filmed is Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile.

Now I've gotta go back and check that - figures Obama would be on money that's worthless.

Since one of my grandsons is crazy about dinosaurs I had to watch it to keep up with him.

Leader of the pack (why is he only a Colonel?) talking to the ex-cop, "We were sent back to get it right."

Had to smile at this line as it is a favorite opener for me whenever I encounter a reincarnation believer who says, "We keep getting re-incarnated until we get it right." My questions, "OK. Sounds good. But, who decides what "it" is? And who decides when we get "it" right?

So, no mention of what "it" is in Terra Nova or when they will get "it" right.

And apparently, they are off on the wrong foot as there are the evil "Sixers" who are the non-conformists, antagonists, warring, faction that managed to get through the portal. It explained what a "Sixer" was, something about the sixth group or travelers, but it didn't quite make sense. So, I'll just call them "climate change deniers."

And speaking of getting off on the wrong foot, the ex-cop "married to a woman" doctor(how refreshing that traditional marriage is still the norm in the year 2149) , is despised by his 16 year old son for having a third, unauthorized child. But same son is OK with his Mom who might have had a small part in that family planning decision.

Basic review from me is that the brief, infrequent, action scenes with the dinosaurs were quite good.

However, the story line sucks more than a 440Volt Industrial Strength Dyson vacuum on steroids.

Only two ways this can go. New writers or some fossil fuel and a match.
