why do I have a feeling this might end up being a Lost type deal, where it will mostly be about the humans & their flashbacks... & the dinos will just be scenery(& the occasional nuisance.)
'Terra Nova' dinosaur series on Fox from Spielberg
- Thread starter jefferiestubes8
- Start date
Didn't he write that VOY episode where the dinosaurs made it off Earth, survived the comet, evolved and came back to Earth merely to find it overrun with disgusting mammalian interlopers?Maybe that's how he got the gig.
But how can he frak this up?
That's pretty bulletproof. Run around, avoid being eaten, repeat. Look at the pretty SFX. Then again...ulp! There's time travel in the mix!
And I vote for Kyle Chandler to star. Hew's hot!
If Brannon Braga had been hired to work on Avatar for 2.5 milliseconds, he'd manage to frak it up.
He's Braga, for God's sake. He's got thousands of people probably sitting around, just thinking on how to frak things up.
Space Dino Nazis. Bet on it.
Yeah, we will definitely see the alternate timeline where that asteroid never wiped out the dinos and they evolved a T Rex version of Hitler.
That's absurd.
Ok put the words Law & Order or CSI in the title and it will be a huge hit!
Next week on CSI: Cretaceous
"We found the body this morning, it looks like he was murdered"
"Dont you mean he's been made...*Horatiosaurus puts on sunglasses*...extinct?"
*Yah!!!!!*

The whole thing is funny, but the word "Horatiosarus" makes this hilarious.
13-episode order favored

Maybe this show would just be better as a 13-episode limited series. A lot of TV shows would be remembered better if they lasted only a season (Heroes) or two (Alias).
Re: 'Terra Nova' synopsis
Quick! Hire some of the Lost actors before they get away. Josh Holloway should be first on the list. Yunjin Kim, Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson shoudn't be far behind. I could see Ken Leung, Jeremy Davies and Francois Chau being on the show as well.
Some shows have a limited premise that require only a year to tell (Prison Break for instance) but time travelling to the Jurassic is wide open and a good writing staff could get any number of seasons out of it. If they can't, it's the fault of the writers and not the premise. Cmon! Dino's! You can't make that work, find another profession.

A dinosaur show would require one hell of a budget. That could be an obstacle for the show.
It could also be one hell of a ratings draw. Gotta spend money to make money. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll see this sucker at midseason.

With Braga involved, I think the big plot twist will be: They thought they went to the past. But they actually went to...THE FUTURE! 
BWAHAHAH!
BWAHAHAH!
Maybe the bad guys are time traveling alien Nazis!
Conan Doyle's The Lost World writ a little differently...
Seriously, does anyone think this is gonna last more than a single half-season??

Maybe the dinosaurs are Nazis!
*Tries imagining a brontosaurus giving a Hitler salute to a T-Rex. Both have swastikas tattoos on them.*
Devotion to science is ruining the Earth. So, instead of hopping back to the dawn of science--or maybe some key points in the history of science, like the dawn of the space age--they go visit the dinosaurs. It makes perfect sense. They can carve messages in the bones of dead dinosaurs for paleontologists to find millions of years later.
