History WMG / TerraNova

Each portal is located in a different part of ''Terra Nova'', and each one could land you in a different show. You could find yourself in the Tower of ''Series/{{Revolution}}''. You could find yourself in a meth-producing lab in ''Series/BreakingBad''. You could be going through a magical portal created by an angel or demon in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''. The possibilities are endless.

The Phoenix guys were just trying to get home.

Possibly locations are the far future, an alternate Earth that didn't evolve life (or that life was superseded by the "alien" life from the portals), or another planet altogether (less likely, since that moon sure ''looks'' like ours, despite being larger).

His behavior and mannerisms are very similar to Jack's, and if you weren't watching the screen and only heard his voice, you'd swear it was the same man. Jim grew up hearing stories about Jack's adventures in the sweet little town where the future began, before it went bad, and went into law enforcement as a result.

We know several things about Boylan and his relationship with Taylor. First, they served together. Second, they use to be good friends. Third, Boylan caught Taylor in the aftermath of the General's murder at Taylor's hand. Fourth, Taylor bribed Boylan to both not report the death (and turn Taylor in, effectively) as well as bury the body and keep everything a secret. Given other signs within the show about the relationship Taylor cultivates with his men (especially those loyal to him), scenes involving Boylan (Boylan being the one to shoot the Sixer in the infirmary, Boylan helping with the murderer), and so forth, it seems as if, from Boylan's perspective this is what happened: he, like the others, idolized and respected Taylor tremendously. However, when he sees his mentor and do-no-evil leader do something ignoble and force him to do the same, his faith in the idea of a BigGood is shattered - that everyone then must have some evil or ignoble part of them. He simply can not fully mesh the BigGood image of Taylor with the first hand experience of the coverup. And so Boylan becomes very cynical over the years and such. Taylor for his part comes to view Boylan as 'weak' and 'cowardly' and not so much evil for Boylan's situation; for Taylor, things are pretty much black and white and pretty straight forward. So for Taylor, he dislikes Boylan's percieved lack of mental fortitude and ability to cope. However, he allows Boylan's little den of gambling out of loyalty and perhaps out of a little guilt over the matter; Boylan's bar and Boylan himself (especially when he called out Taylor that his was the only place people could get away) are a uncomfortable reminder to Taylor (as we know Taylor isn't exactly one to deal with uncomfortable social situations too well). All this is also how Boylan can reconcile his dealings with the Sixers - if his idol Taylor can do a little bad deed that doesn't get anyone hurt, why can't he? After all, Boylan was only trading for supplies really - something he could justify as harmless.

I know EVERY fan of this show insists this is not Avatar with dinosaurs but C'MON, the [[{{SpaceMarines}} Space/Time Travel Marines]] carry the same weapons and (mostly) the same gear as their motion picture counterparts. Use a small amount of the same military jargon, HELL the SAME ColonelBadAss from Avatar is in this Frickin thing.

The wooden figurehead that appeared at the end of the Season Finale has the potential to explain all of the history breaks that the show has caused. My friend came up with the theorem that, perhaps they're not in the past, but -very far into the future-, which would explain unseen dinosaurs, why the moon is ridiculously close, why the continents are wrong (They could be re-aligning differently.) why some dinosaurs are evolved differently, etc.. Because, who would think it's a great idea to bring a random 18th century wooden boat figurehead into the future? Not I. The only explanation I can come up with is that something in the 18th century secretly discovered time travel, which is completely implausible. But hey, it's just a theory, and there's likely holes.

She herself said the job was only supposed to take a few months. A few years later, Taylor's still alive and the portal's still one-way. The Sixers' backers probably decided the Sixers had failed and liquidated the hostages they were using as leverage. Of course, when the Sixers established communications with the future this fact was kept from them, with all requests for communication with their loved ones refused with a "You can talk to them once Taylor is terminated." or somesuch line.

* Lets see a group of people with highly advanced technology living on a continent that is unknown of in the future. Can we just all it Atlantis already?

Rather than trying to loot Terra Nova for quick profits, they ought to be looking into ways to create ''more terminus links'', so as to open up '''trillions''' of other alternate worlds for colonization, resource acquisition, or any other purpose imaginable. What are one lone planet's resources worth, compared to that?
