Terra Nova on Fox is a show that has a lot of hype behind it even before it has even aired. There are already lots of sites dedicated to the show like this column, and there is still a lot of the story not fully known.
One element to the storyline is the separatist group called the Sixers. They are the bad guys who live outside the Terra Nova compound and refuse to be part of the new society held together by Stephen Lang’s character Commander Taylor.
But are they truly the bad guys in the story arc? Not including the dinosaurs of course who work on instinct, the biggest question one should be asking, is why has this group separated itself from the colony? It appears that the Shannon family will be the audience’s way into the society, so every new detail they learn, so will the audience.
The next question I have is how did they come up with the name Sixers? Does it have some type of significance from the future they left or the past they now inhabit?
Also from the pilot shown at Comic-Con, the Sixers are stealing as well as trying to kill Taylor. From this alone you can assume that they are truly the bad guys, but one thing that is known for certain is that there is always a hidden agenda or underlining reason as to why a group such as this has turned away from the colony to form their own.
Whatever the reason, this makes the storyline that much more juicer, even with the added bonus of dinosaurs.
What do you think of the element being presented here with the Sixers?
The series centers on theShannonfamily as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land. JIM SHANNON (Jason O’Mara), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Jim’s wife, ELISABETH SHANNON (Shelley Conn), is a trauma surgeon and the newest addition to TERRA NOVA’s medical team. JOSH SHANNON (Landon Liboiron) is their 17-year-old son who is angry to leave life as he knows it behind; upon arriving at the settlement, he finds himself instantly drawn to the beautiful and rule-breaking SKYE(Allison Miller). MADDY SHANNON (Naomi Scott), Josh’s endearingly awkward 15-year-old sister, hopes TERRA NOVAwill give her a new chance to reinvent herself. Although Elisabeth’s medical training secured the family a spot on the pilgrimage, a secret involving their five-year-old daughter, ZOE (Alana Mansour), soon endangers their place in this utopia.
Terra Nova will air on Mondays starting this fall at 8e/p
