Intro: Grow Old or Don't.  Outro: Centipede.

The Text:

This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 138 - 143.

Synopsis:

Arnold and  Hammond quarrel over the difficulties the park must overcome to have Jurassic Park ready for its grand opening, because they have all the problems of a major theme park, all the problems of a major zoo, and the added difficulties of caring for animals nobody’s ever observed before. It’s revealed that Dennis Nedry is here to fix the bugs in the system this weekend. On the tour, the guests visit the venomous dilophosaurus

Discussions surround:

Tension, Contrivances in the plot, Timeline, The Dinosaurs, Voice Acting, Park Management, Errors, and the Island's Layout.

Side effects: 

May cause you to have trouble removing venomous sacs from anesthetized dilophosauruses.
