There's something hiding in the wake of the Enterprise, cloaked
and invisible. Fortunately the occupants of the mystery craft,
the Xyrillian, are friendly and they were just using Star
Fleet's finest for a tow as their engines have failed. Chief
engineer Trip Tucker offers to go help and makes a new friend
during his stay on the Xyrillian ship. Unfortunately, a little
harmless hand-holding ends up being something more serious
- Tucker gets pregnant.
In
Unexpected
we
get to see that Trip is no
ordinary guy, oh no. Faced with pregnancy he just shrugs it
off and looks a bit sheepish which is exactly how the script
writer should feel for penning such mindless pap.
Seventy
years after disappearing off in trace of Terra Nova - a new
home-from-home planet not unlike Earth - the children of the
original colonists are found by Captain Archer and his crew.
Unfortunately, things have gone very wrong - the planet is
poisoned and the human descendants have turned into cave-dwelling
savages. And to make matters worse, they're all going to die
because of a nasty toxin in the soil deposited by a passing
asteroid. Unwilling to enforce a mass evacuation of Terra
Nova and unable to tell the planet's inhabitants what's going
on - they're savages remember - Archer has to find a plan
to save the last remnants of one of Earth's earliest attempts
at colonisation..
Slow,
badly paced and generally overloaded with cod moralising,
Terra Nova feels like an early Next Gen episode
- that's right, dull.
