blatantninja & Drithius ….

Hell , point is when you make a TV show even with alternative timelines and try to make the dinos look believable have at least consult a specialist on the subject so existing species do not live side by side with their long extinct ancestors !

It is like making turbine using crafts in space , or non gay sex in ME3 …it doesnt exist , it is impossible to happen .

this is not true. it had plenty of people watching it and it made a profit.

the problem was it was too expensive. it had to distribute the pilot's cost through the series which in a strange way guaranteed it a series.

it was a good show that had an international cast and you felt was ok to watch with your kids. it had a healthy amount of action for the guys, intrigue for the adults, and human interaction for female viewers.

but, like most sci-fi, it was just way, way too expensive.

Netflix thought about picking it up but they dropped out. There's still a small chance someone else will but if its cable the budgets would be seriously slashed - look what happened to Sliders.

This is the big thing tho - UI can't seem to watch television any more - there's not enough decent shows. The airwaves are reality garbage.

The first episode caught my attention, but the rest of the series was quite the letdown. It's unfortunate. So much potential to go to waste.

Another sci fi show bites the dust. I didn't watch it but it's depressing how few sci fi series are on TV these days. Still pissed about Fox destroying Firefly!

Sorta funny that the very people who should have been fans didn't like the show at all.

Eh the series had its moments but I stopped watching after episode 6 "Nightfall."
Spoiler


At the end I was thinking "so in the future we'll be able to make a time portal, but too stupid to make anything else right." Also the trope used by scifi writers when they get lazy - make something low-tech "future-ish" with the only apparent change being colorful lights and being prone to break for the convenience of plot.
