For those who've been patient to stick with 'Terra Nova' (Mon., 8PM ET on FOX) through its awkward and meandering first several episodes, things are really starting to come together and get interesting. In fact, I dare say if this keeps up, we may be worrying about a second season pick-up come the inevitable cliffhanger finale in about a month.

This week, Taylor tracked the man who'd been banished from Terra Nova for murder, and implemented a brilliant espionage assignment. It could help earn the man entry back into the colony, but more importantly it could help Taylor find out who the spy is inside Terra Nova. That's a brilliant tactician taking advantage of a situation that was out of his control.

Taylor is a brave man, as seen when he faced down a gigantic lizard single-handedly, but he's also savvy and clever. Apparently, some of that genius he admitted his son has this week came from him. The idea that his son may have developed a way to talk to the future could well be a game-changer for Terra Nova. They'll just have to take on the Sixers, probably, to get their hands on it.
