The Runaway

Ok, we are into the 4th episode, and for another week of indifference in story telling, Terra Nova is just becoming boring family fare. Leah, the little girl runaway immediately screams ripoff Newt from Aliens, but soon devolves into nothing nearly as  interesting.

As mentioned before, the stories are not gripping. There’s no sense of urgency. The pieces of bait they throw us has gone past ‘I don’t really care now’. And especially true in last nights show, the whole idea of complexities of  time travel, starting a new civilization, dinosaurs, etc, has become pushed into background… so much so, the stories can be told in any point of history. I’ll give it a few more watches, but I’m becoming deeply disappointed in this show.
