Episode 44 - 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.

Intro: Death of a Dream.  Outro: Sleepyhead.

The Text:

This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 238 – 243.

Synopsis:

Arnold returns control to the island, and Muldoon wrangles a team to begin cleaning up after the storm. Gennaro then goes to recruit Harding for the cleanup mission, and finds Malcolm high on morphine, relating his memories of being attacked by the Tyrannosaur. Despite Malcolm putting on a brave face, Sattler makes it clear – he must get to a hospital as soon as possible if he’s to survive his injuries. 

Discussions surround:

The Dinosaurs, Timeline, Feminism, Plotting the Book and Park Management. 

Corrections:

I supposed that The Lost World was released in 1997, but of course, it was released in 1995. I must have got my copy in 1995 on a trip to ... Washington, D.C.? I stand by my story - I just don't remember all the details!
