Other mistake: Taylor stated that when he arrived in terra Nova, it seemed like the blink of an eye for the people behind him, but he was alone for 118 days due to time dilation. In episode 12, when they welcome the 11th pilgrimage, 5 people walk through the portal within seconds of one another, whereas it should take 118 days for each person to arrive.
Terra Nova (2011)
1 other mistake in Season 1 generally
Starring: Jason O'Mara, Allison Miller, Christine Adams, Shelley Conn
Genres: Sci-fi
Continuity mistake: After removing their rebreathers, they are again with them at 12:48, and then are sans the rebreathers and their jackets at 13:19.
Question: Is there any reason they have to go to that particular time to start their colony? Why not say 64 million years ago? Since it's after the dinosaurs, but before the evolution of sabertooths and mammoths? It'd be a lot safer.

Chosen answer: Because that's where the rift led. They don't have a time-travel machine, capable of taking them wherever they please - all they have is a hole in time leading to one single time period.
