Serendipity. I wasn't trying to turn the thread that way, but it sure validates my point about meatier story lines giving us more fresh meat to chew on here. All I did was just suggest slightly retuning the one plot device concerning the nature of the opposition in the bush. Instead of the formulaic exploitive capitalists bulldozing paradise*, it's people with sincere beliefs, albeit if you're on the other side of them, misguided, acting honorably in their minds.
(*--"exploitive capitalists bulldozing paradise" is formulaic because it's true, and thus sadly not entertaining. But your mileage may differ. And I digress)
With hindsight, the fact that Terra Nova didn't generate some kind of environmental thread is a reflection on the show. It should have; it's the basic premise, but we took it for unremarkable and focused on the show's production values. Damning.
