'Terra Nova' star Stephen Lang plays Commander Taylor, whose son may destroy everything the settlers hold dear in tonight's season finale.
It has been a pivotal first season of the sci-fi drama backdropped in a world where dinosaurs still roam. TERRA NOVA ambitiously set out to show us the story of a family that was willing to travel back in time in order to stay together and have a chance at a better future for humanity.
But paradise is only beautiful on the surface. There have been bumps and bruises along the way as each of the Shannon family members struggled to find their place in this new world and tried to figure out who they could really trust. Utopia is a wonderful ambition, but human beings always bring the element of surprise and unpredictability as their emotions sway their decisions — for better or worse.
For Jim Shannon (Jason O’Mara), the former police narcotics detective turned prison-escapee desperate to keep his family together and to ensure the safe-keeping of his youngest daughter, there was literally no place left on Earth to hide. Fortunately for him, he married the right woman, Dr. Elisabeth Shannon (Shelley Conn), a trauma surgeon who the government recruited for colonization in an experimental settlement comprised of scientists who would safeguard the planet 85 million years in the past. The colony of Terra Nova sounds ideal, but humans rarely can agree on how to best shape the future, let alone protect the planet.

I enjoyed this show.
Not alot of cussing, not alot of nudity.
How many shows are there like that nowadays?
Problem with your droid?
OTOH: They have almost twenty million years to:
1. Move the humans to another planet.
2. Divert or destroy the asteroid.
Time travel loop?
I’ll stick with Primeval.
Gazillions of bucks in the future ~ no risk at all to a nascent technological civilization.
Think about it~the "corporation" that was supposedly selecting people to go back in the past was actually trying to find a reason to go back and GET STUFF to use in their present.
The colonists were suckers who were tricked into creating a base of operations.
Obama and his running dog lackeys wrote SEVERAL SUCH CRITTERS into ObamaKKKare!
No problem.
After all, they’ll have 20 million years to prepare.
I am the only one tired of the endless cop and reality shows?
