I watched 10 minutes of the Terra Nova pilot because there was nothing else on and it was awful. This is from someone who loves sci-fi and dinosaurs and shtein.

Same here, stupid plot. Are there really kids dumb enough to go out at night in a place were 90% of whats out there will eat or kill you? Then they all of a sudden turn into sharp shooting Marines when the dinos attacked. The cgi looks good though.

Actually, the majority of dinosaurs were smaller than humans and were herbavors. Larger, carnivorous dinosaurs had a smaller population.

What they do, take the scrapped Lost scripts and put together this crap?  Network TV is as bad as what they're putting up on the big screen.

the ratings for 10 year old random episodes of serialized dramas are going to be horrendous

its about reminding people the show exists so they watch it on demand or buy the dvd
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Breaking Bad is reaching Wire season 4 level. That theory from before is confirmed. The real question is where the hell does the show go from here?

MDS

but good lord that farging scene with gus and tio was disgustingly good. and now we have no clue where its going from here. walt is evil....series ends with mike/jesse killing him. has to be.

that episode was perfection, minus seeing gus walk out without half his face.  i know it was badass and all, but totally unrealistic and against what the show is about.

I agree to an extent, they did it for dramatic effect. They wanted the viewer to think that maybe he survived. It was unrealistic but it didn't ruin that scene which was incredible.

SunMo

i guess, but i knew right away what they were doing by the camera angle you had when Gus came out of the room.

I didn't... I guess they did it for viewers like myself.
