Trashy sci-fi (in a bad way). Writing, acting, special effects - they all disappointed. I caught the pilot last night, but I'll not watch any other episodes.

It had some good moments, but I thought it could have been better. I'll probably watch a couple more, but they better pull me in quick.

I was hoping some Lost TV show vibes would have been envoked into the show: interesting characters, cool music, interesting storylines, but I was also disappointed. Storylines 101, so far. There is something of a mystery concerning the rock drawings, so there is some hope, I suppose. I'll keep watching; I didn't get into Lost until ep 4.

Also, I want a beard just like the camp leader chap.

I thought the 1st episode was boring. I didn't watch the 2nd episode.

Caught a little bit of the first ep--looked like a poor attempt to mimic Legend...no interest
fall far and well Pilots!

I gave up on it as well. About halfway through the 2nd episode. It had such promise...

I have 3 episodes on my dvr at present. I've watched only the first 1/2 hour of the pilot and have been left with a "meh" feeling. There is a chance that I may simply delete what I have and leave it at that. Depends on my mood I guess.

Saw all of episode 1, and thanks to the MLB playoffs, a lot of episode 3. It's just not good.

If you hadn't heard... cancelled. It may come back on Netflix, but I doubt it.

Really, no surprise. Better shows got axed sooner, though I was hoping it would get better.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I think the list of TV shows about dinosaurs that have flopped is quite long. Ever since The Land of the Lost, it seems like any TV series with dinosaurs is fated to fail.

I don't get it though. I like dinosaurs on TV.

It tried to have something for everyone. I didn't like the family orientation, myself. That family stuff is good for other shows, but not in a SciFi-Action-Dino-TimeTravel show.
