Apparently it’s going with the “man destroyed the Earth by not being environmentally friendly enough” plot for why we decide to colonize the past, so long they don’t hammer that message every episode I think it will be good.
"If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you." —Don MarquisDoes anyone else see the potential problem of humanity living in the past with the dinosaurs? I mean, there was some sort of extinction level event that killed them all off. Isn't going that far into the past a death sentence for the human race in it's own right?

Wasn't humans living with dinosaurs basically the Sir Arthur Conan Doyles The Lost World show's plot?

I bring this back up since we're about two months away from the show's premier. I for one am excited. Horrified that its Fox doing it, but still excited and hoping it can dodge the Fox curse.
"Tyyr's a necessary evil. " SpiritThe problem with the shi-tzu theory is that it makes contamination of the time line more likely. A T-rex here or there isn't too bad, since they're going to be extinct anyway and the line is going to die off. As long as they avoid eating the small mammals, they'll be fine.
Fight smart, not fair.Except that it's hard to know that anything you kill could have an effect. After all, kill off the wrong dinosaur, too many of rodent type X survives and drives rodent type Y to extinction. The only problem is that type Y could survive the KT boundary while X is pretty much fucked.
As an explanation for why they choose to go back to dinosaur times I actually like it. "They're all dead in a million years anyways so what's the big deal?" It still has issues but it sort of works. Frankly I'd rather them just say that time travel creates alternate time lines so while you might change the course of history the history that produced your time travel capable species is fine.
"Tyyr's a necessary evil. " SpiritMy first impression was Jurassic Park meets Lost. HELL YES. I'm so excited for this show, you have no idea. Terra Nova and Once Upon A Time are the only new shows I'm looking forward to. I have a feeling Fox will screw it over, but I'm still going to watch.
We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.You know this movie has inspired an insane theory of mine. Since the show involves time travel obviously there are multiple Quartichs running around!
Therefore he can return for the Avatar sequel...in the mech suit....riding a T-Rex that he made his bitch.
I wish they had showed the pilot episode in May when they had said they would. Oh well still looking forward to this. Either is going to be good...or so bad its good. Regardless Fox will probably kill it pretty quickly since you know their Fox and the root of all evil.

You will never love a women as much as George Lucas hates his fans.Oh come on with time travel involved you just KNOW at some point they will be able to go back to the future.
Anyway the Dinosaur hunt thing would be cool, but I think sci-fi channel already did that as the plot of a shitty B movie. Also I think I read a book like that in early high school.

...The pollution thing is possibly Fridge Brilliance. The KT event basically caused an ecological Reboot, so it doesn't actually matter if we pollute 66 million years ago, since 66 million years of evolution will deal with it.

New poster. Colonel Badass looks like he is having fun
Also a new trailer as well. Which got me thinking
A.) Future were we have to wear gasmasks on earth? And its set around the 2150's...obviously the time machine is powered by Unobtanium!
B.) The main character is an excop....and the Colonel is helping him get his badge back. Is it his real badge?
I have a feeling this show is going to be a fountain of memes.

Okay there is only one trailer for this show, but it has me HOOKED. Dinosaurs, Spielberg, and Stephen Lang? Dear God yes. Sadly the graphics look...subpar, and its Sci-fi on fox, so it will probably get canceled almost immediately.
Your thoughts? For some reason I see this show causing many Paleontologists to cry many, many, manly tears.
