Terra Nova Braces for Explosive Season Finale

Jason O'Mara, Stephen Lang Pricier the growing season finale of Fox's Terra Nova to finish in an instant - it begins with one! Airing December 19, the 2-hour episode begins using the colonists warily waiting for the appearance from the eleventh Pilgrimage. They are unsure if this sounds like great news or bad. Wager around the latter. "Our evil men, the Phoenix Group, will be sending somebody with the portal having a explosive device, also it explodes," states professional producer René Echevarria. "Jim Shannon [Jason O'Mara] is hit through the blast and awakens 72 hours later to some very surreal scene - Phoenix soldiers took command from the colony." This can eventually pressure Shannon and Cmdr. Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang) to complete the unthinkable. "We now have supercharged the premise in our show in an exceedingly chilling way," states professional producer Brannon Braga. "Everything changes." The jam-packed closer includes an unpredicted go back to 2149 along with a mind-itching discovery which will leave the colonists - and also the audience - rethinking the area-time fracture that connects the near future using the past. And get ready for the demise of two notable figures, including one that is becoming a significant fan favorite. Hints Braga: "An individual who is without family will voluntarily visit [their dying to be able to assist the Shannons survive." Also expect the turmoil between Taylor and the boy, Lucas (Ashley Zukerman), hitting full boil. "We all know Lucas continues to be enhancing the Sixers and also the Phoenix Group, and we have taunted that something bad happened between your two males in Somalia, but we do not yet know why Lucas so intensely hates his father," states Echevarria. "Which will all emerge within the finale. It's Shakespeare meets Sophie's Choice."
