Anyone watch the premiere episode of the new Fox program?
This is the premise:
The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction due to dwindling worldwide air quality and overpopulation. At Hope Plaza, a massive ring shaped structure in Chicago, scientists discover a rift in space-time that allows people to travel 85 million years back in time to the late Cretaceous period on the prehistoric Earth of an alternate reality, offering a chance to save humanity. The Shannon family (father Jim, his wife Elisabeth, and their three children Josh, Maddy, and Zoe) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.
The Shannon Family starts a new life in Terra Nova while having to deal with carnivorous dinosaurs and the Sixers (a splinter faction that has been opposed to Terra Nova ever since arriving in prehistoric times during the sixth pilgrimage).
When the Shannons arrive in Terra Nova colony, the colony leader, Taylor, gives a speech about how earth was destroyed by greed, corruption and short-sightedness.
This is the perfect irony because if you look at the actions of the Shannons throughout this episode, they're EXACTLY the kind of people who destroyed the earth - greedy, corrupt and selfish.
Show sucks really bad.
