Like sci time travel, That's why you're here right?
Like Dystopian future and Prehistoric Past, uh huh me too.
cool now that we established all that, buy it. Sadly don't get your hopes TOO up, it basically ends of a cliff hanger because network executive do NOT like dinosaurs.
Extras include
Disk 1
- Deleted scenes from the pilot. Shows the dark path the show could've traveled down and fortunately didn't.
- Director's video diary. Pretty good and no ego self-stroking I've seen in others.
Disk 3
- Deleted scene from Vs., single, that really doesn't add anything.
Disk 4
- Occupation/Resistance are run together, for a two hour finale, sweet. Click to Episodes to select "View with Extended Scenes." The first is heartwarming, the second a mild wrench at the heart, next is glimpse of Lucas' dark side (like you would need anymore clues). If you're like me and always thought Malcolm was also a bit tipsy, you'll know what a drunk Malcolmus really looks like. There's a couple Shannon "farewells" scattered toward the end.
- Commentary (broadcast version) Stephen Lang, Rene Echevarria and Brannon Braga was easy to listen to. No excessive fawning. Balanced between production, story and cast.
- Quick series synopsis by select episode
- Dino discussion.
The Show
On the surface it looks like something new and fresh. But if you've been watching or reading sci-fi as long as I have see you can see behind the curtain back to the 50s and 60s, maybe even the 40s movie serials. The science isn't that complicated; the weapons are sonic, and it's not a shockwave but a "sonic-wave" that results in when the meteor crashes into the colony. That's old school. Pick one simple element as the basis for the technology.
Then you start to see slightly over the top character of Taylor in perspective; larger than life, hard to believe human. It's hard to tell if it was written that way or Stephan Lang's performance.
But more than that, give it that western feel also from the same era. Anybody else recalling episodes of Bonanza while watching this? Who else began to see the colony's marines as cowboys? I kept expecting someone to break out an artificially grown horse or two.
When viewed from this perspective, the series works. Drop two bits on the counter and spend Saturday afternoon watching the latest installment of a serial.
Now take into consideration the "darker path" that the show could've gone as indicated by the removed scenes from the Pilot. This explains the "lighter" back tracking and listening to the commentary you begin to know what you suspected all along it was redone to be that Saturday morning show but sophisticated enough to hold a reminiscent adult's attention.
Does the show succeed at this level, yes. Is it trivial, not really. It had some bones and muscle to it. Cudos go to the cast for all being on the same page, had one of the regular cast missed the point and played it as camp (as it could've easily have lended itself too) it would've been lost from the beginning. But they played it straight.
Cudos also to the producers, I'm sure there was big cost consideration in this, but for making it more about the story and the characters then the science and the special effects. My second favorite line is Cmdr Taylor taking a metaphorical step back from Jim Shannon say, "you're not to ask to explain how all this works, are you?"
Why three stars?
I liked the show enough to by the DVDs even though I have it recorded, the stories were tight with an interesting arc. Some of the characters (Malcolmus became a guilty favorite) were just plain fun to watch and I often thought "Taylor's posing" should become a drinking game. Thank you for the eye candy (most the men were in tight fitting clothes, interestingly all the women were not). They didn't go Battlestar Galactica dark side.
However the buildup indicated it would be for a more mature audience, not kids specifically. All the touting of groundbreaking was misleading there was no new ground broken take a family and place them in primitive time, Swiss Family Robinson did that and this show has that feel; but most importantly ...
...they killed Wash.
Top reviews from other countries
From the start, there's never any real sense that they're in a world requiring an urgency to survive or to adapt to a hostile environment. Their base is built and they've all got an endless supply of hi-tech equipment from the start. This becomes more nonsensical in the stories where the tech inevitably breaks down and they wonder why they're in the... without a clue. Even the first season of The 100 did a far better job.
The main family are amicable and decently acted. But they are a bit generic and don't really have the spark to make the stories interesting. The rest of the cast are okay, but again no standout characters except one. I think they would have been in real trouble had they not cast Stephen Lang as Commander Taylor.
The sets are good though and even the dinosaurs are too, despite looking a bit rubbery by today's standards. Apparently, this blew their budget though, which may partially explain the weak writing, which in turn inevitably led to dropped ratings then the show's cancellation after one season.
The main question now is does this work as a standalone season to watch? Ironically, because the writing is so limited the answer is yes. There aren't many loose ends and, while the ending does hint at a second season, it finishes at a satisfactory point for an average show.
Largely British and Australian actors with the odd American thrown in and filmed in Australia ----- why is it I'm thinking of 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' ?
English language and English subtitles. Loads of bonus features which are fun.
