EPTIt also bagged 1.3 mill in the 19-49 which makes it the best premiere the network has gotten in 7 years. hopefully it stays for a while and makes real sci fi a thing again.

The kinaesthetics are mediocre, definitely not to WoW smoothness levels, the combat is better than normal MMO combat but waaay worse than most shooters, so you're marketing to a group who don't exist- people who play MMOs tend not to care about combat mechanics. People who don't do, so you're not selling anything that group A desperately wants, and you're not selling it hard enough to convince group B. The interface is horribly designed, the game flow feels around MMO typical and in general it's just not standing out in any regard at all. If you want to make a successful MMO, you HAVE to stand out, preferably in some aspect of gameplay. Ain't saying it won't be fun, but it won't be fun enough. Supporting an expensive TV show AND an MMO development is going to ruin their coffers. They're all in on this one and if it doesn't work very, very well, I think they may not survive it. | ||

Most, if not all the characters seem very predictable and boring. I was surprised that there were actually a few "famous" actors in the cast but i don't think they can save this show. Sad thing is that it's probably the best scifi going on atm atleast it is better than that dinosaur show which isn't saying much  | ||

Ok low budget is a bad term.What i should have wrote is B production. Terra nova was 5-10 mill per episode,had better graphics and not that bad story and it still failed. Scifi channel is known for making bad tv shows and movies so my hope for this is low.Remember Stargate universe?It was much better visually made but first season had too much drama and by the time they remembered its a scifi show in second season it was already too late,no one was watching it anymore. It is heartbreaking how scifi genre on tv went to hell. | ||

It is heartbreaking how scifi genre on tv went to hell. Terra Nova had pretty terrible story. That is why it failed. And too much focus on teen drama. When are these story writers going to figure out that putting kids in SF stories is a big fail!! BGS had 0 kid main characters = Good. Star Wars older movies = no kids = good! Star Wars new movies = kid main char = terrible! Star Trek = kid characters always least liked but luckily none were important = great show! Firefly = no kid characters = great show! Farscape = no kid characters = great show! Falling Skies = kids everywhere = terrible show! Revolution = kids again ((and their mothers) = bad show! V (new) = too much focus on kids (and mothers) = terrible show! . . . | ||
