So they travel back in time to "have a second chance to do things right" yet they bring gas powered automobiles, guns and other weaponry, and kill the dinosaurs....how is this "doing it right" when it's more like "doing it exactly the same, only much faster"? Only ironically, they are using petrol fuel yet killing the source at the same time.

And that dude from Avatar...typecast much? He's playing the exact same character.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I thought the show looked incredibly stupid when I first saw the commercials for it and am predicting it won't make it beyond the pilot.

Except Prison Break was unique and didn't require as many horribly rendered CG effects.

Haven't watched it so I couldn't tell you about the acting. I was also referring to the tattoos or whatever the plot driver was. In regards to the "keeping it on the air" bit, I forgot this is Fox so it may survive a season or two regardless of how bad it is.

IIRC, the tatoos were a map of the prison. Now I never actually saw the show, but it seems to me that at some point someone at this prison would have noticed this enormous and elaborate tatoo for what it was, or at least called it to the attention of someone. But what happens then? No show lol

why didn't they just travelled back in time AFTER the dino's were extinct?

wouldn't that be more logical? (but not interesting as a TV show)

Because then there wouldn't be Dinosaurs!

I mean, you can't just go back in time and not see some dinosaurs, that would be a tragic waste of a time machine.

meh, you guys are over-thinking it. It's entertainment, not a documentary, sheesh.

Yeah I saw the previews to that one last night. It looked like it had potential.
I told my wife that that looks like one of those shows that will either be surprisingly good or will totally suck, no in-between..
we'll see

So what did you guys think?

I'm liking it. It's not phenomenal or anything but decent. I'll definitely catch next week's episode.

Where did you get your 3D glasses? The ones I saved from The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl didn't work all that well.
