Well, yeah, but since the theme is "living" dinosaurs, aren't we already

depicted in the dino sets.

Especially when the fiction is one of a lost island rather than time travel.
If something can survive hidden an extra 65 million years then why not an
extra 165 million years?  This setup gives TLC the freedom to pick and choose
prehistoric beasts from any era they like (and think will be the most
marketable.)

Hopefully these will be popular enough to generate a 2001 line and a new
selection of dinos.
