Four things that might have happened in Terra Nova by now

Is anyone still watching Terra Nova? What's happening? How many of them have been eaten by dinosaurs yet? Let me guess, the main characters tend to narrowly escape every time, right?

I watched the first episode of Terra Nova in order to give it a review, swiftly decided it was rubbish, and didn't bother carrying on with it. Since when there have been seven episodes on Sky1 in total, and frankly anything could've happened.

Now, I have no intention at all of catching up by actually watching it, but I am kind of intrigued as to which direction it's heading in. This is a group of people rebuilding the human race from scratch, after all. The possibilities are endless. Here's a few I hope they've considered.
They've started building Starbucks all over the place



These people are children of capitalism. It's in their blood. You can't tell me they're going to head off to some verdant, unspoilt utopia then not start itching for a double vente frappemochalattechino with a white chocolate and banana muffin as soon as they get there. Soon as someone figures out how to make that milk-steaming machine it's BOOM! Instant globalisation.
The dinosaurs have all started wearing burkhas



As any regular contributor to the comments boards under articles on the Daily Mail website will tell you, the global imposition of Sharia law is inevitable. In Terra Nova, the dinosaurs have realised this and submitted to it within weeks, adopting the burkha as a way to demonstrate their modesty before Allah.

Obviously I realise this makes little sense. Mainly I just liked the idea of dinosaurs wearing burkhas, thought it would look funny, knocked up a ham-fisted Photoshop then tried to write some sort of flimsy justification around it.
They've evolved to the stage at which they need to introduce Clubcard points



The early bartering system favoured by Terra Novans eventually gives way to a primitive currency, which comes to be used by default for all trades after the first twenty years or so.

But after that they collectively realise that one currency isn't enough: they need a system that rewards regular trading with certain vendors by awarding tokens that are of no material worth, but that the customer decides he wants to earn as many of as possible because the very act of accumulating them gives him a misguided sense of accomplishment.
Snooker has become the dominant leisure activity


It has long been my belief that, if presented fairly as an option alongside all other major sports, snooker would prove the most popular to a nascent culture. My attempts to demonstrate this on a South American tribe hitherto uncontacted by Western civilisation were described as 'reckless and without purpose' by several respected anthropologists, but I'm convinced that the Terra Novans will have proved my theory by now.

In all likelihood it has become so popular that they have dispensed with any notion of living as a secular society and started worshipping Tony Drago as a god.
Much - well, all - of this is speculation, of course. I can't possibly imagine what will have happened in Terra Nova so far. Why, if I were able to come up with ideas worthy of a four-million-dollar-an-episode thinly-veiled ecological morality play I'd be Steven Spielberg, and I'd be off making some movie about a horse instead of writing sentences about being someone who was off making some movie about a horse.
