One tihng I would say, they'll need to use the dinosaur effects sparingly. Much more effective as a looming threat than something we see a lot of every week.

They did a good job of putting doubt in your mind about Stephen Lang's character, seems like a good guy, but clearly has ulterior motives.

I agree. Too much green screen and fake animation would be the downfall of this show. Keep it about the two different factions and the dynamics between and within the two groups and limit the animation.

This show does have a lot of Lost characteristics which I like.

yep between the men watching football and the women DWTS, it's a tough slot.

more likely the men are watching Phineas and Ferb

Man, these kids need to watch more movies. Stay in the damn vehicle!

And flesh and blood dinosaurs that cannot be killed with bullets? What are they, freakin’ vampire dinosaurs?

I am probably going to invoke my standard scfi guidance, “Bad science fiction is better than no science fiction at all”.

So, your telling me when you watched Land of the Lost as a kid, you weren't terrified by the claymation Tyranasaurus slowly chasing after them each and every week?

Your right of course, if the show turns into a weekly dinosaur shoot em up, it would get boring real quick.

Hopefully they'll take from battlestar galactica, which had that lesson learned, not about dinosaurs, but about scifi\spaceships and such: have a good story with good characters and character development, that just happens to take place in an extraordinary setting, and dont make the show about that setting.

And yes, I am suggesting that bioengineer dinosaurs may have done this.

Well, if theyre not using the right bullets, the thick hides on the dinos may prevent the bullet from penetrating. They did mention, i believe, that the hide on the top side of the dinos was too thick, and to aim for their underside. Though they had a couple shots they couldve taken at their eyes or into their mouth..

I like sci-fi more along the lines of Farscape and Firefly but thatwon’t fly in this timeslot on network TV (too quirky for mass appeal). I think this is going to go the sci-fi opera meets Lost route. I’ll keep watching unless it turns into John Boy Walton and the family meets dino.

It was a travesty what they did to Firefly. That had potential.

I watched this last night and enjoyed it. I'll be watching until it inevitably gets canceled.

Okay...so finally watching premiere tonight. Since there is dinosaurs are there that means this whole re-humanizing of earth can only end in them getting killed when the meteor hits.
