You know why the dinosaurs are extinct? Because nobody could pronounce their names. They were doomed from the beginning with names like Piatnitzkysaurus, Micropachycephalosaurus, and Colepiocephale it is no wonder Fred, Barney, Captain Caveman, and that huge asteroid from Armageddon did you in. Nobody wanted to continually stumble over your name. Especially Quiz Masters.
Also, you and your mythic, mysterious lives have made way for so many terrible sci-fi movies. Dinoroc v. Supergator? Talibannasaurus Rex? A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell? Well, that last one was not actually bad. But you get where I am going? Dinosaurs have unpronounceable names and have fueled the wet dreams of Geek boys everywhere to create some absolute garbage that is called the Sci-Fi channel. Hey, Dish, how about leaving AMC alone and taking down the Sci-Fi network. No one will miss that channel at all. True story.
What many people did miss was an absolutely beautiful play by Dino Squad. They went T-Rex on all the little velociraptors that tried to come close. It was a just executed with the precision of Spielberg and the intensity of a Michael Crichton novel. They were dropped of at Jurassic Park, fed Jeff Goldblum and Newman to the spitters, and took off on a Pterodactyl with the Brit Belt in hand. Congratulations to Dino Squad for being Dino-Mite.
