The writing is clunky. You're in prehistoric times. The episodes should reflect this. We should see the beauty as well as the danger of this situation. Use the past as the arena and bring it to life. Instead, we could be in Hawaii in present day dealing with a swarm of bats as far as this episode in concerned. There's nothing about the past that causes a unique danger.
The problem is, the colony is too high-tech. There isn't any hardship to be found. So this dangerous condition stops being dangerous. Instead, we should have a problem finding medical supplies. We should have a problem finding a food source. Maybe an unforseen virus hits the camp. Maybe weather conditions couldn't be predicted and are treacherous and dire. Maybe the heat causes their equipment to fail. You have to use the past to bring about conflict.
Instead, we're given a former flame of the wife's is responsible for getting her transported here. That's the big conflict. That's childish. The conflict has got to be upgraded in a hurry. As it stands, this series is in danger of becoming extinct.
