Offtopic but was anyone else disappointed with Terra Nova?

The production values were lavish but I couldn't help feeling exasperated at the sheer amount of glaring plot idiocy in the pilot, let alone future episodes. As an example, the part where the Sixers crashed the colony and Taylor does a deal for iron was so dumb I thought my eyes would roll right out of my head. Hey I'm sitting a bloody time portal that shits weapons, ammunition, people and futuristic metals but sure terrorists, let's do a deal for some raw iron ore. How would the other camp survive? They lost what, 4 people in the pilot alone? I think the count was something like 100 per pilgrimage so surely attrition must be wearing them down.

I heard the pilot cost something like 40mil when it was all said and done. I don't know what the ratings were like but they better have been good to last long if production is ~2mil an episode.
