I watched the premiere of Terra Nova on Hulu on my iPhone today and i thought it was pretty good.

I was not a fan of the premise of Lost (smoke beings???), but it has that kind of feel. A 'brave new world' kind of thing. Jumping from the current crappy world to a new arena to survive. In the same breath I could describe it as similar to Pandora. An almost 'alien' world.

I don't want to ruin the plot, so did anybody else like it?

I kind of liked it. It's sort of like Stargate. >_<"

Yep, moved up near the top of my list of shows to watch.

FREE - in case you don't know - the 1st episode is currently a free download on iTunes - in HD.

I thought it was ok. I'm not convinced I'm a huge fan of it yet, going to give it a few episodes. It has potential. I still have trouble looking at the guy running the camp as anything but the Colonel from Avatar (hopefully his path in Terra Nova won't follow a similar style of story line to his in Avatar, but I can see where it might).

LOL. I always see Stephen Lang as Ike Clanton from Tombstone.
