If you follow us on Twitter, odds are fairly certain that you already know our feelings with regards last night’s fantastic episode of TERRA NOVA. What you may not know is that in response to last night’s tweet that went a little something like so — “Super solid episode of #TerraNova, although it would be nice if poor Allison Miller was given something, heck anything, to do.” — actress Allison Miller took it upon herself to respond, “@theTVaddict thanks – stick around for the next few 😉 ” And since it’s not exactly everyday that an actor goes out of their way to respond one of our 140 character gems, it suddenly dawned on us: Miller’s Skye is totally the TERRA NOVA mole that Commander Taylor has been so desperately searching for! But hey, don’t take our word for it, check out the irrefutable evidence we’ve compiled in our case against Skye, after the jump. [Read more…]

NYCC Live Blog: TERRA NOVA
11:59PM: The Q&A portion of the panel kicked off following a screening of tonight’s fantastic episode that sheds some much-needed light on Sixer leader Mira’s motivations while building the beginnings of a very-welcome wedge between Jim Shannon and Commander Taylor. In attendance were executive producer Brannon Braga, Stephen Lang (Commander Taylor) and Jason O’Mara (Jim Shannon).

12:02PM: According to O’Mara, hanging from a wire for three hours while a dinosaur attempts to bite your head off is not nearly as much fun as the script makes it seem! [Read more…]

Recap: We Have a Good “Instinct” About TERRA NOVA’s Second Trip 85 Million Years Back in Time
The real litmus test for any new television series isn’t so much the pilot episode — which in the case of TERRA NOVA was a showcase that afforded the Fox Television Network the better part of a year to finesse the series to their liking — but rather, episode two.
So just how did the cast and creative team follow up last week’s 14 million dollar dino-epic? By cleverly tapping into the cultural phenomenon that is angry birds and delivering an episode that wasn’t so much Avatar meets Jurassic Park but rather reminiscent of your classic STAR TREK adventure.
