Episode 2 asks: How many loud birds does it take to ruin sex with your wife?
The second episode ofPretty Prehistoric Peoplesidelined the shows budding mythology questions Whats going on with the Sixers?
Whats the deal with Taylors son?
What are those gold markings?
We start with a rover breaking down on a jungle road in a rainstorm.
Wait: Theres something above them, in the trees.Ahh!The red shirts the men are attacked.
Next morning at Terra Nova compound, the kids get survival training.
They learn which way is North, that worms are food and that fire scares animals.
Amazingly, he says yes.
Perhaps Jims judgement is off because hes focused on trying to get his wife Elizabeth into bed.
The man appears to have, like, a 12 pack, which Im not certain is biologically possible.
But sadly his romance with Elisabeth is interrupted by a creature screeching outside.
She insists he somehowmake the wildlife quiet.
Cmon, theyre not staying at the Maui Sheraton.
Theyre living in some wild prehistoric militant-hippy jungle commune.
They were kept apart for years.
Is she really going to let one bird derail this moment?
She needed a cuddle, Elizabeth explains.
I wanted Jim to snap: Well Daddy needs more than a cuddle!
NEXT:Jim denied again;Farmers market bird attack!
Med lab: The bodies of the soldiers from the opening attack are found.
Dr. Wallace (Tudorsactor Rod Hallett) shows up all and knows Elizabeth from school.
We immediately get the sense that these two share some history.
Later, Taylor reveals Wallace actually recommended Jims wife.
Shared a table during speed dating?
Drunken make-out in a bar?
Jim and Elizabeth attempt to fool around again.
She struts into the bedroom acting all enticing while wearing a truly unsexy-looking negligee.
But, darn it, it seems once again she cant possibly have sex with those noisy birds around.
Jim goes outside again and this time is joined by Josh.
They spot a few of the birds on the fence and Josh chucks a rock at them.
Suddenly they swoop down and attack.
This will hopefully teach Josh not to throw rocks at birds.
Um, how about the farmers market again?).
Suddenly the birds attack the marketplace and theres a lot of frantic running and arm waving and panic.
None of the civilians gets seriously injured despite the birds managing to kill three armed soldiers the other night.
I mean, its perfect for preventing, say, cow-sized animals from wandering into camp.
What would help is if there was a giant domed cage over the camp.
Almost like an aviary.
I hope Im wrong about you Malcolm!
Naturally masculine Commander Taylor, grizzled he-man of the oiled biceps, volunteers.
Leave that to me, Taylor declares, confident in his ability to disperse pheromones wherever he goes.
Again, this must have been hilarious to watch during shooting.
Later: Having twice been denied sex, Jim returns home triumphant.
Hes relocated thousands of birds so you can give his wife the dead silence she needs to get aroused.
Was the bird attack episode ofTerra Novasomething to tweet about?
Did you like the stand-alone dino-of-the-week format?
Or did you want more answers to the premieres mysteries?
And is it fair that only Jim and Elizabeth seem to be having sex on this show?
