Book review:
Stranded in the Arctic, the international crew of an illegal whaler find themselves in a race for survival. Can they survive the cold, the sea, and, most of all, each other?
Pushed to desperation in a bleak world ravaged by climate change, Lora M’Bandi flees her homeland to join a group of unlikely outcasts aboard the whaling ship Livyatan. When an explosion rips through the vessel, the crew become shipwrecked deep inside the Arctic Circle—sabotaged by one of their own. Now, they must trek across the treacherous sea ice to reach dry land before the ice retreats—all the while with a traitor in their midst and fearsome predators stalking their every move.
Thank you, dearly, for tuning in to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast, the Jurassic Park podcast where we talk about the novel Jurassic Park, and also not that, too. Until next time!

Gennaro is forced down the rabbit hole where they land in the raptor nest. It’s filled with dozens of raptors, of various ages. Grant supposes there have been multiple generations born on the island, and then they get to counting the eggs, the egg shells, but are ultimately distracted by the animals’ conspicuous and unusual behaviour: why are they all lining up in this unusual northeast-southwest formation? Then, the raptors are sprint out of the nest and “into the darkness beyond.”

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.
In this episode, terrific guest Dr. Jingmai O'Connor joins to the show to chat with me about:
tunnelling, antipodes, When Dinosaurs Conquered the Skies, The Field Museum of Natural History's new spinosaurus exhibit, entering into vertebrate paleontology, inspiration from Donald Prothero, transitioning to the "dinosaur dark side," enantiornithines, moving to Beijing, assisstant professor Alida Bailleul, the origins of birds, the "multiple origins of dinosaurian flight hypothesis," the Berlin Specimen of Archaeopteryx, feathers and caudipteryx, a lack in the data of the origins of wings, but wings co-inciding with nesting, coloured eggs, and changes in reproductive behaviour, dinosaur eggs, Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight, are dromaeosaurs secondarily flightless?, why birds survived the end-Cretaceous extinction event and Dr. Daniel Field, Elsornis, baby enantiornithine bird's having costly energy demands leading to their extinction, the problematic gastric mills among enantiornithines, Green River fossil avifauna, specimens trapped in amber, Alida Bailleuls' exceptionally well preserved hyparcosaurus cells, , extracting more information from specimens in amber, comparing feathers in amber to lithic specimens, microraptor stomach contents, and much more!
Jingmai is the author of which is a non-fiction book for kids and teens in the Incredible Evolution series about what birds are, where they come from, and other fascinating facts about their evolution.
The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable movie franchises of all time — an entire generation of people has never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. The movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records, pioneered special effects, and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol, and now it has also been re-envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling.
In Clever Girl, Hannah McGregor argues that the female-only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand-ins for monstrous women, engineered by men to be intelligent, violent, and adaptive, and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison, a profit-driven theme park, they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power, showing the audience what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls, indeed.
Intro: Chinese Cafe, and the Outro: Death of a Dream.
The Text:
Nothing this time.
Then:
Jurassic Park (1993): Sc. 7 "It's a Dinosaur!"
David Koepp's first draft, and Malia Scotch-Marmo's rewrite of Michael Crichton's draft of the script.
Corrections:
To be very clear, Hannah McGregor is one author in the Pop Culture series, in which there are many authors. I was unclear on that, but you don't have to be unclear on it, thanks to this correction!
Side effects:
May cause you to become a mainstream science denier, and definitely someone who doesn't believe everything they read!

#JurassicPark #MichaelCrichton
This week’s text is The Beach, spanning from pages 393 – 395.
Synopsis:
The nest invaders, Gennaro, Grant and Sattler, follow the velociraptors through subterranean tunnels, out a beach, and upon observing their strange behaviour, Grant is struck with an epiphany, that they are instinctually driven to migrate!

This week’s text is Almost Paradigm, spanning from pages 380 – 384.
Synopsis:
Hammond is uncomfortable with Malcolm’s sepsis, and leaves for a walk believing that the park is under control now, and is safe. On his walk back to his bungalow, he stews over how unfit everyone he’d hired to work at Jurassic Park had been, blaming them all for its downfall – and taking no responsibility of his own. Then he hears the roar of the juvenile tyrannosaurus, and panics. Out of fear and anger, he winds up falling down a ravine, landing in a river below, with a broken ankle. It turns out the tyrannosaur roar is just a recording being broadcast over loud speakers, as Tim and Lex are playing around on the computer in the control room, and there was no danger after all.
Discussions surround:
Dramatic Irony, Responsibility and Safety, Considering whether or not you should, and Almost Paradise v. Almost Paradigm.
Corrections:
I said that Nedry didn't turn off the fences in the movie - when, of course he did. Arnold also turns off the power, but Nedry did it first. My mistake. Sorry.
Thank you, dearly, for tuning in to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast, the Jurassic Park podcast where we talk about the novel Jurassic Park, and also not that, too. Until next time!
This week’s text is Under Control, spanning from pages 369 – 379.
Synopsis:
Things are back under control. The computer’s functioning properly, the Visitor Center and Safari Lodge are secure, there aren’t any dinosaurs in the norther sector, and the authorities are on their way. Even the air-conditioning is working again! And a medic is coming for Malcolm.
The carnage has been measured: out of 24 people on the island, eight were dead and six were missing (p. 269). The National Guard is on its way – and the Costa Rican guard is surely speaking with Washington D.C., to discuss what these Americans are doing out on Isla Nublar. This international conversation may be slowing down the medical response, the novel suggests (p. 369).
Grant recruits Muldoon, Sattler and Gennaro to investigate the velociraptor nests, to inspect them and estimate how many animals have been born in Jurassic Park. Before they go, they discover a secret bunker at the maintenance shed equipping them with nerve gas for defense against the raptors.
They travel to the southern fields and follow a juvenile velociraptor to the nest.
Discussions surround:
The Dinosaurs, Equilibrium, Shipping News, Damned Gennaro, Timeline, Contrivances in Plot, and Big Questions.
Corrections:
I incorrectly correlated “rediscovered” animals with cryptid animals – they are categorically different. A rediscovered animal would be a known animal, if from nothing else, at least fossil evidence – cryptids on the other hand, are known anecdotally or only by witness accounts – not from verified evidence. So – that was not a correct line of thought, though I’m glad we were able to talk a bit about cryptids!
Side effects:

The Seventh Iteration, “Increasingly, the mathematics will demand the courage to face its implications.”
This week’s text is Destroying The World, spanning from pages 367– 369.
Synopsis:
Hammond believes they’ve saved the world by stopping the raptors from reaching the mainland, but Malcolm says that “life” would survive – that life finds a way to overcome all odds. “Life” is the greatest power; Hammond is deluded if he thinks otherwise.
Discussions surround:
Life Finds a Way, Semantics, Power is Magic, Crichton Tropes
Corrections:
I said Ernst Stromer was a paleontologist from the 1800s – which isn’t quite correct. Yes, he was born in 1886, but his work on Spinosaurus and his career as a paleontologist was spent almost entirely in the 1900s, including the famous trip the Bahariya Formation in 1910. So, he was a 20th century paleontologist whose magnum opus was certainly in the 1900s. I was incorrect in describing him as a paleontologist from the 1800s.
Also, I wondered if the expression “Crocodile Tears” may have come from crocodiles excreeting excess salt via tear ducts, and, upon looking into it, saltwater crocodiles are known to have tears which help rid them of the excess salt that they take in with their food.
Thank you, dearly, for tuning in to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast, the Jurassic Park podcast where we talk about the novel Jurassic Park, and also not that, too. Until next time!
This week’s text is Lodge, spanning from pages 350 – 359.
Synopsis:
Tim, Lex, Grant and Gennaro rush to the Control room to get the power back on! Tim takes control of the computer, racing and struggling with the system, while guided with information from Gennaro, to switch to main power, restore power and contact the Anne B.
Discussions surround:
Show, Don't Tell, Uniform Maritime Law, Contrivances in Plot, and Cliff Hangers.
Corrections:
Side effects:
May cause voices to sound like they're coming through a tin-can telephone.

Intro: Do You Want To Leave Me, Or Do You Want To Stay. Outro: Maybe Days.
The Text:
This week’s text is Lodge, spanning from pages 350 – 359.
Synopsis:
Malcolm relates the importance of showing humility before nature, as the raptors gnaw through the bars. Meanwhile, Lex and Tim escape the raptors into the nursery – sacrificing the infant raptor to the three other raptors pursuing them; before being reunited with Grant and Gennaro.
Grant weaponizes his knowledge of dinosaurs, and the toxins in Wu’s lab, to defeat the three raptors, before racing to the Control room.
Discussions surround:
The Sword of Damocles, Show, Don't Tell, Crichton Tropes, Narrative Juxtaposition?, Control is a Hoax, Timeline, Doing the Math, Park Management, God Complex, and Rule of Threes.
Corrections:
Side effects:
