"What's going on back there?"
"Looks like an cut-scene from a PS3 game, sir!"

I've seen better looking dinosaurs in a Discovery Channel special.
Do people tend to do things like that? How do they know it doesn't open onto the surface of the sun?
Back when JP was made Spielberg et. al. spent a good deal of time and money and resources on making the CGI dinosaurs in that movie.
You'd think now, 20 years later, that fantastic CGI would be economically feasible to use on a TV series. Apparently not.

Unobtanium!
I like stuff like that. One of the reasons why I loved Distant Origin so much while I hated the rest of Voyager.
'You're new. I didn't see you in last cycle's Terra Nova annual, so I would know this instead of assuming I just haven't seen you before given that this colony gets an occasional influx of residents and has a pretty large population."
No offense, but that seems like a small thing to go nuts over. Especially considering that Voyager episode was a big load of bull. But to each his own.
With all i've seen about the budget's for TV show's being super tight, this doesn't look that different.
I've always been interested in the possibility of pre-human intelligence. The idea that dinosaurs were around hundreds of millions of years more than humans and didn't develop intelligence is somewhat improbable.
To be fair, everything but the dinos has been pretty decent.
Still, it doesn't cost money to make CGI look good. Personnel who can do it costs money, sure. But you'd think in this day and age after 20 years of CGI use in movies and a little less than that in TV use that the CGI in TV would look, you know, good.
Rather than like a cut scene from a mediocre video game.
Or any scene with the characters standing against impressive "backgrounds."
"Dude, it's a knife! And you were using it wrong."
It's a notch better than "V" background shots on the space ship. Bleh that was cheap!
