I think Nick isn't thinking this time thing through properly.
He's so concerned about changing the timeline that he never lets Stephen kill anything that crosses a rift into our time, yet he leaves tons of modern crap back in the permian all the time. I keep picturing some poor archaeologist out on a dinosaur dig coming up with the remains of Helen's camera, or human remains with modern dental work, or a bowling ball or something. I'd think that would be a lot more damaging to the timeline than one less raptor.
Speaking of timelines, I'm having trouble trying to figure out how invested to be in this one. There's no way to know if Nick is going to be able to restore the previous course of events or how long it will take him if he does, so I'm not sure if I should let myself get attached to the way things are now. I don't want to accept current events as reality only to have the rug pulled out from under me when the timeline (and reality) shifts again and it turns out that nothing I'm watching ever happened.
