Thing is I already knew Sky was the traitor from the early episode where the sixers let her into their vehicle to escape the hungry dinosaurs.
Was Sky being the spy supposed to be a surprise? Like you, i figured it out from very early on. I thought it was an accepted fact by now that she was the spy.
Speaking of which, that scene where he "declared his intentions" for Maddie was probably the most cringeworthy thing i've seen on this show, and that's saying something. He's known her for what? A month?:eek::rolleyes:
PS: I know i said i'd quit watching this last week, but i forgot to delete the series link and it recorded it anyway, so while i was bored with nothing to watch i figured i'd just watch it, there's only 3 episodes left now anyway, might as well see it out. It's like watching a car crash, it's terrible, but i can't take my eyes away from it:p

Definately. If someone ever comes up to me like that if i ever have a daughter, He will get a punch in the face.
Which is exactly what i want to do with him.
All his scenes get a nice fast forwarding on my sky plus
Agree it would be good to have some non "Terra Nova" episodes. There's a great series here just begging to break out.

I can't even remember that scene! I was saddened that it was her though. It just seemed implausible. I suppose it doesn't matter though as the whole show is pretty implausible!

Episode 2 - after the moonshine, and the attack by the slashers - when they race toward the seemingly abandoned vehicle. The slasher dinosaur is getting closer. Skye opens the door to find a Sixer inside. She convinces the man to let the teens inside. I had her pinned as a spy or a sixer then.
With you on the implausibility of the whole show...
Just watched last weeks episode. Great start - then went downhill. I've quite taken to Taylors character. The rest should be replaced for the good of the series. I agree the family stuff is cliched and makes me cringe (fast forward). Interesting ethical issues from the future though - clearly identified at the end - but probably not intentional.
TV doesn't have much on offer in the way of different at the moment so I'll happily continue watching despite all it's faults.
So the Sixer Leader is only evil because some bad guys have her daughter.
And the girl spy/traitor is only doing it because the Sixers have medicine for her 'mom'.
Way to make your characters morally grey Terra Nova writers...
Boylan doesn't really seem to give a monkey's about the political situation and is only trading with the Sixers for money etc.

I don't think the writers even knew at that point!

Yeah of course they did. It really looked like she was in with the sixers at the time. I'll watch it again when it's repeated - errrh on second thoughts I probably won't...:D
watching the first two episodes, Outcasts popped in my head. This new series reminds me of Outcasts - with the two 'warring' factions, one on the inside and the others on the outer. fighting against each other.
I'm now wondering will we see bones on a beach at some point?!
I started watching for the first time yesterday and it seemed exactly the same: grey haired commander. Female lead a doctor. Separate colonists who arrived earlier and are engaged in an unending power struggle with those on the compound. Compound itself relatively easy for people to slip in and out of illicitly. Some big secret back on Earth that the colonists have not been told about which has dire consequences for their future. Being an American series the only difference is that all the cast have impossibly dazzlingly white teeth, which is amazing given that they have come from an environmentally compromised planet with little access to real fruit and vegetables and probably cheese too.
You do have to admit it's surprising the English scientist guy wasn't the spy - after all the English are normally the bad guys
It really annoyed me when the cop started smashing up his laboratory: the medical supplies must be in short supply and the English guy might have been in the midst of crucial experiments but yet the cop doesn't care.

Two reasons for that:
1. Hero Cop doesn't like English Doctor cos he knows that he still has a thing for his wife
2. Hero Cop always thinks with his fists and therfore looks down on anyone like English Doctor who thinks with his brains.
How long before Soldier Boy gets killed saving the life of Hero Cop's Daughter??
Even if "rated" means "watched" (as opposed to hyped ), it's probably not that relevant as Sky is continually increasing the size of its customer base. So with more people who could watch, it's inevitable their audience numbers (but not necessarily proportion) will grow with every year.
However that will have no bearing whatsoever on whether it gets a second series or becomes as extinct as its dinosaurs.
Fortunately I didn't need either satellite or cable to watch it thanks to a site like Sidereel.It was free too and best of all NO adverts during the programme.
wow shocked at all the hate in this thread lol I sky + the series and have now caught up, while i have to admit the series has been disappointing and some of the cast very wooden i have still on the whole quite enjoyed it. I had not been expecting a new wonder series to be honest as i had missed a lot of the hype, i had hoped it would be a bit more original but still i like the concept Lost / Jurassic Park / Stargate all mixed into one, i just think they need to concentrate less on dopey cop and more on Taylor.
I was expecting more dinosaurs...........I thought it might be like a Bear Gryllis survival type show.........plucky humans fighting against an alien world of monsters and exploring their new world
But it's not really turned out like that after the first few episodes when they were fighting raptors all the time
Hardly ever see a dino now...........
It's not been memorable but it's OK to pass an hour

I agree with that, im assuming budget would not allow, but ye more dinos please
I really enjoy this series. It has its flaws, but unfortunatly no program these days doesn't, and i'm sure when we take off our rose tinted specs, and look back, we quickly realise that every show has its flaws. This weeks Ep was excellant in setting up the finale on Boxing Day, i find the son's hate of his father a little silly, would you really punish your father by wiping out a whole planet and all its people, probably not, but still a good vehicle to bring the two way gate.

I expect they are saving him to be eaten by a very hungry dinosaur.

Can we keep Boylan as well??
Boylan doesn't really seem to give a monkey's about the political situation and is only trading with the Sixers for money etc.
I don't think the writers even knew at that point!

We might have been supposed to but I certainly didn't.
It could be seen as karmic comeback for him smashing the lab
All set up for an action packed double episode on Boxing Day.......
Watched it and enjoyed it....

I hope it gets renewed.
It seemed to me that Boylan and Wheelchair Guy didn't seem too happy about Commander Hardcase's "We shall fight them on the beaches" type speech
