![]() ![]() ![]() There’s a thrill in seeing the snarky tweets piling up in Tweetdeck, or finally piecing together what critics who had seen the pilot (in multiple different iterations) have been talking about for weeks. Having screened so many of the pilots earlier in the summer, the sense of “instant reaction” was missing over the course of the past week, which was something that Terra Nova was able to deliver. What draws me to Terra Nova, then, is simply that until tonight I had not seen it. I’d also suggest that Terra Nova is not the worst network pilot by a sizable margin, as regardless of its many flaws it is definitely going out of its way to make a major impact (which is more than we can say for a show like Charlie’s Angels). It isn’t the best network pilot I’ve seen, or my favorite: I those crowns would probably go to ABC’s Pan Am, a show that I thought understood its purpose and communicated it more effectively (if not necessarily more subtly) than any other series. The player assumes the role of such a person attempting to earn that rank who must go through training and combat situations to prove their abilities.Considering that I haven’t written about a single fall pilot, it might seem unfortunate that I’m choosing Terra Nova. Now taking place in 2120, the prospect of earning the highest combat ranking for a Heavy D.O.L.L, the rank of Heavy Nova, has become a long desired military rank. The robots were favored as Earth's primary line of defense and were dubbed the Heavy D.O.L.L's (Defensive Offensive Lethal Liberator). The primary machines for Earth' s victory came from original Akirovian designed machines: giant remote controlled robots first used to design and repair Earth's satellite and colony structures. ![]() Eight years later, the Akirovians lost and left the Solar System. ![]() Ten years later, a plot to enslave mankind was discovered to be a part of the Akirovian's plans and a war waged between the two. By the year 2102, mankind was finally at peace thanks to the Akirovians. With their technological help, Earth's environment was replenished and Human's were able to travel deeper into space. Hailing from the planet Akirov, the aliens had been observing Earth for centuries and arrived in order to save it. Suddenly, an alien race appeared in the Solar System. Sometime in Earth's future, it came to mankind's realization that the Earth's natural resources were starting to decline, but despite every nation's attempts, the Earth's environment and resources continued thin. ![]()
