Come on, let go of your inner critic, man! This show was cool! I really wish there were shows like this today, for my own kids to watch. No cynicism, no meanness, just good clean fun! I especially liked the Dorse and the Chickephant. This giant half-chicken, half elephant thing that lumbered along and pecked at the UFO? Inspired and surreal. Just plain silliness.

In retrospect, the plot is very similar to that of Doctor Who... Time travelers pick up young people and then can't get them back home. Somehow that makes it even cooler.

"Oh no, it's the Chickephant!"

As a major fan of the original Land of the Lost, I was excited to hear there would be a remake. I was unsure whether it would be a retelling of the original story, or something new. I was disappointed by it initially, but it grew on me over time. It would have benefited by having better writing! Having missed the first episode, I was confused by Christa at first. I thought maybe she was supposed to be Holly, years later! Even though it turned out to be an "alternate universe", and not the original Land, I still enjoyed it. Christa was great, with her pet triceratops. The Sleestak were OK, but I felt like they should have been called something else - they were more like orcs than Sleestak. The one part that bothered me the most was that the family never ran out of batteries or fuel! Maybe it was some mysterious unknown quality of the Land... batteries never die!
