I knew it was only a matter of time until the new fox show, Terra Nova, would jump the proverbial shark. Only three episodes in and my biggest fears for the show have come true. The first two episodes toed the line between amazing and unrealistic.
This week, a disease has broken loose that forces anyone exposed to it to become disoriented and lose their memory. In a new world in another dimension millions of years in the past, full of rebels and dinosaurs, who would want to watch an entire episode about a disease? There are so many other subjects to touch on and this is the best they could come up with? As early into a series as this show is, you need to come out guns blazing, not with a sad excuse for an episode like this one.
I was extremely disappointed with tonight's episode, which is why my review is so short. Hopefully next week the writing staff will redeem itself and win back my favor.
It seems that every show has some sort of epidemic that could end or alter mankind. I understand it has to do with the current political climate, terror threats and our addiction to consumerism; however, enough is enough. I would like to escape reality and be entertained when I actually get a chance to watch television.
