The dinosaurs still look like they should be chasing Will Ferrell in THE LAND OF THE LOST.
Episode deals with a pathogen that makes you suffer short-term memory loss which grows progressively worse.
This kicks into high gear when Commander Taylor is infected. He no longer knows he's on Terra Nova and since he's a complete killing machine, he can do some serious damage to the colony if they're unable to get him under control. This angle could have been exploited fully, lasting over multiple episodes. Just think, the guy they depend on most suddenly becomes their worst enemy.
Of course, this being TERRA NOVA though, Taylor is easily subdued and a cure is found five minutes later. Crisis averted. This is another example of the shoddy writing found throughout the series.
What's the point of this episode? It focuses on this one element. The memory loss. There isn't a bigger message inherent in this.
Show's terrible.
