Parece que no soy el único que se aburrió con Terra Nova, la nueva serie de (Ambar la) Fox.

Una pena:

Sorry folks, but I know that your gurus tell you character is everything, but this isn’t freaking Ingmar Bergman. I’m not tuning in to delve deep into the psyche of… geez, I watched two hours of that show and already forgot the main character’s name. Whatev. I don’t care about the characters. The concept is cool; if I want a character study, I’ll seek out a story that doesn’t involve time travel to the Jurassic Age. You feel me?

Now, the concept is not just dinosaurs. The idea of starting a civilization over could be really interesting if they started exploring issues like how society was organized, whether they would try communal living or a market, dictatorship versus democracy. The focus on feelings overwhelmed most of it, but there were interesting hints at how this new society was forming. Contributions seem to be made according from the ability of the colonist, while resources appear to be distributed according to his needs. We call that communism; Hollywood people called that “Awesome…for you peasants.”

    It would be nice, though, if those neat-o guns seemed to have any effect on the dinosaurs. The characters get all Scarface on the lizards, firing off long bursts of rounds that have about as much effect as a multi-billion Obama stimulus package.

    Muy bien escritito todo el review, y nos quedamos todos con ganas de conocer a su HotWife latina.

    Mierda.
