Episode 42 - Control

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. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 42 - Control.

In this episode, my terrific guests Garret and Sabrina of I Know Dino join the show to chat with me about:

cool musuems around the world, visiting Canada, the ROM's Dawn of Life Gallery, reporting on SVP, podcasting, pronouncing dinosaur names, enjoying Jurassic Park the novel and the film, raptors in the kitchen, gallimimus stampeding, Alan Grant's character development, the resounding presence of the film, dinosaurs news!, enantiornithines and siledesauridae and ... seriously, check out Tom Holtz Jr.'s Twitter feed for dinosaur news - it's authoritative!, but also, visit and enjoy I Know Dino, Stegouros elengassen, soft tissues and gut contents, paleopathologies, the Crystal Park Dinosaurs, and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

• Early Evolution of Modern Birds Structured by Global Forest Collapse at the End-Cretaceous Mass Extinction

• New materials of the Early Cretaceous spinosaurid (Theropoda) teeth of Napai Basin, Fusui County, Guangxi

The Text:

This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 228 – 233.

Synopsis:

John Arnold and Henry Wu search through the computer system to figure out what Dennis Nedry has done to the operating systems at Jurassic Park. They discover wht_rbt.obj, a command disguised as an object, that was Nedry’s trap door that links the security and perimeter systems and then turns them off, giving him complete access to every place in the park. 

Discussions surround:

Show Don't Tell; Timeline; and Similarities and Differences with the film; 

Corrections:

KPg stands for the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, not the Cretaceous-Cenozoic boundary. 

Side effects: 

May cause a severe case of wanderlust to explore museums both near and far.
