The Text:

This week’s text is Aviary, spanning from pages 276 – 287.

Synopsis:

Arnold and Malcolm suppose that Grant and the kids are having challenging navigating the park, because they’ve yet to successfully trigger a motion sensor, and Malcolm shows that the 92 per cent coverage of the motion sensors has decidedly insufficient, to Arnold. Arnold hopes that nobody has gone into the aviary, because the pterosaurs are too dangerous.

Then, Grant and the kids enter the aviary and find that the pterosaurs are too dangerous, and escape with their lives – thanks to Lex’s baseball glove.

Meanwhile, Malcolm waxes philosophical with Sattler over the way of the world, and how misdirected we as a civilization have become.

Finally, Grant and the kids find themselves with nowhere to turn as two dilophosaurs are at the riverside where they’d like to pass. The tyrannosaur distracts them, as the raft slips by unnoticed. 

Discussions surround:

Show Don't Tell, The Dinosaurs, Control is a Hoax, Timeline, Feminism, Contrivances in the Plot, Park Management, Movie Adaptation, The Murphys at Home, Crichton Tropes, Thintelligence, Hammond's Dream, Almost Paradigm, Jurassic World Dominion and Island Layout.
