Time Travel to the Past...
So I am currently watching Terra Nova...
So I am loving this show. For starters, the future at that is shown to be at the beginning of the 22nd Century is actually a real posibility in some cases and the way that they show it with the breathers and the dirty air is totally realizable. In some cases, some could argue the idea behind the future that we see for the first twenty minutes of the show could make for it's very own series, but that is not what this show is to be about.
The idea is simple. We messed up and now, due to a small gap in the time-space continuum, what they refer to as a tear in space, they are able to travel back in time, they are able to travel towards the past (the era unknown at first) to make a fresh start. The first part is understandable, however, once they make it though, breaking the law in order to do so, the next part is a little unbelievable. Due to having a third child, and thus breaking population laws, the Father is thrown in jail. He breaks out and they do find out in the new colony. Once it is determined that they can't do anything about it, the chaff is soon shown.
The brother is soon shown to be suffering from what I call "daddy issues". As if they couldn't make his character three dimensional. That however is not to be the best part in the first half hour. A few moments after the issues are shown to be the problem. A few moments later, the youngest child Zoey is shown to be meeting the first of the original denizens:
Dinosaurs.
They could be Brontosaurus, but I believe the original name for them is to be Brachiosaurus.
The rest could be a strange and slightly underwhelming ordeal, if not somewhat predictable. I must say, the faction reminds me a little of the Fifth column from the original "V" series. I'm a little disappointed, but even with the "Jurassic Park" sentiments, it should turn out better I hope.

The Hiatus to Continue...
Yes yes yes... I know that it sounds rediculous. I am almsot done with the new site of the blog and everything. This will be fine. No worries. In the meantime, I have a picture and an article to show you:
I had a question not but two days ago in which a person liked the way that I described how Amaretto traveled and was curious about the bending of space-time-dimensional rifts and was curious as to how it looked. Today, I by pure chance came across a photo of what I partioally imagine sometimes as she travels. Here it is:

The article that I got this picture from is here.
That's really all today.
