You could be right. However, I still think we have to be open to the possibility that the first season will end with an ominous close-up of a grinning dinosaur, and we will realise that the dinosaurs, dismissed in episode 8 as a red herring, were behind it all along, so even though the obscure South American parasite has been defeated (with much rejoicing) in the season finale, far worse danger and doom lies ahead in the second season.

I do rather fancy playing Left4Fossils, a Left4Dead spin-off in which the intrepid players fight off the Dinosaur Apocalypse. The hopping hadrosaurs could be one of the special baddies. Merchandising idea, d'you think?
