blood and…. culture?
where is the none option?
Have to go with Terra Nova but I’m prepared to be disappointed. Awake actually looks kind of good but “paranormal” is just so not my thing so it has to be really good to get over my distaste for the genre. I’m slightly intrigued with the fairy tale based shows but they have to be better then the novelty of the idea. Blood and Chrome I will only watch if it gets a 3rd season and lots and lots of people say it’s good. My disgust with the final episode of new BSG still hangs over anything battlestar like a sulfur cloud plus Syfy is dead to me. I think anything in the Ghost Hunters realm is an insult to the genre and doesn’t belong.
BSG ran into problems when they were shorted on the fifth season. I think Moore and crew would have delivered a solid, thought provoking ending if they’d been given the time.
After rewatching Terra Nova, I think the writers blew it from the outset. You have all of the paranormal chicanery of “Lost” melded with the alternate universe trappings of “Fringe” but with none of the forethought of either series. Fringe conquered the parallel-world impossibility with the introduction of a technological nexus (plotonium) that makes it possible, while Lost just ignored the physical impossibilities and just went for “magic”. Fringe can be excused because of their understanding of modern day physics and the invention of an unexplainable device to advance the story (see: Heisenberg Compensator of Star Trek fame), while Lost melded metaphysical and standard physics well enough to have the viewers engage enough in the story to ignore, or debate, any holes.
Terra Nova, in contrast, seems lost between the impossible parallel universe and causality-violating “change the past” ignorance. If they’d engineered a good-enough-to-advance-the-story piece of technology from the outset, I think it might have worked. But for hard SciFi adherents like me, it seems like “Heroes” with dinosaurs every other episode.
I like Terra Nova, it’s got a cool story. With a great back drop for the show. The only thing I would like to see is something people are not expecting. Like an “alien force” or some kind of “intelligent species” we’ve never seen. Something to GRAB the viewer were it would keep us guessing
