on TV worth watching
Apr. 15th, 2012 01:54 pmJust finished up with a couple seasons' of sf/f shows that you may have missed! Neither are perfect or amazing television, but they both bring something that the genre could use more of.
Show: Terra Nova
The idea: Humans from a dying future earth go back in time to 85 million years BC (with the help of a convenient alternate-stream time rift to prevent unmaking-one's-own-existence paradox shenanigans) to start a colony that may be humanity's only hope for survival.
( the bad: scifi cliches and cheesy dinosaurs; the good: families and DINOSAURS!!! )
Show: Lost Girl
The idea: A young succubus discovers what she really is and is inducted into the wild and wacky world of the Fae, often to her dismay.
( not fantastic but better (and different) than it sounds - and female friendship (and female creators) ftw! )
