Sci-Fi Terra Nova

[Kevin]

Doesn't look good for Terra Nova. Talks with Netflix have apparently gone no where beyond the initial interest stage and now Jason O'Mara has been picked up in a new series for CBS, Vegas.

The network’s most intriguing-sounding new drama is Vegas, a period piece set in the 1960s centered around the true story of Ralph Lamb: rodeo cowboy turned longtime sheriff of Las Vegas. On paper, this one seemed like a long shot given the way fellow recent ’60s-set dramas Pan Am and Playboy Club fared in the ratings. But if you’re going to dip into the past on CBS, you can’t get much safer than doing a Vegas-set crime drama — you could almost call it a CSI prequel. Plus the cast is great: Dennis Quaid is the sheriff, Michael Chiklis is a mob fixer, plus there’s Jason O’Mara and Carrie-Ann Moss.

So, with the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, what is your theory on the show?

Here's mine... the reason they never found the probe that they sent through the portal was because the portal was not actually to the past but to the future. This would explain them finding that ship's bow section and the portal. It'd also explain the tagline that they were fighting for humanity's future. It is why the soldier at the end of the season/series finale went into the badlands after the portal was destroyed; because they knew what they might be able to find in that region.

TMZ is reporting that the vehicles used in the show are now up for auction. Photos can be viewed here.

Hey, you ... the one person who watched "Terra Nova" .... wanna buy the super-ugly vehicles from the show? They're SUPER cheap ...

TMZ has learned ... the production company behind Steven Spielberg's dinosaur fighting TV flop is auctioning off all of the vehicles used on the show ... since it was mercifully canceled in March.

The vehicles are modified Land Cruisers and Range Rovers from the early 1980's and 1990's ... and all of the rides include a warning that reads, "Has been modified by MovieWorld Studios for a popular TV show, NOT for road use. Inspection recommended."

The auction, taking place in Australia, is set to end in a few hours ... and, shocker, the asking prices on the cars are still incredibly low -- $2,409 for a 1985 Range Rover and $6,059 for a 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Pretty sweet deal .. if they were actually drivable ... and not hideous ... and not from a terrible television show.

I thought we'd got past the intermingling of soft porn and scifi in the dark 1950's
