To me, this kind of news actually should be bad news for Terra Nova.
It might, however, be good news for us Fringe fans.
Why?
Well, Terra Nova and Alcatraz and the Finder are all shows new this season... if Terra Nova was on the bubble, it stands to reason that all the new shows being on the bubble would be on equal footing.
Fringe has been lower in ratings too... but this is season 5... so like NBC did with Chuck, I could see FOX bringing back Fringe for a 6th season to wrap up the story IF many of their other new shows crap out.
But Alcatraz and the Finder aren't shows that would give Terra Nova the boot. These are time-sharing shows that really aren't taking a slot away from each other...
I actually like Alcatraz so far (only the pilot and next episode watched so far)... Terra Nova grew on me but I wouldn't cry if it went away... and honestly I'm not looking forward to the Finder even though I have it on my DVR.
