Do people really not like Dr Wu? Like I like his as a character. He's so fucked up in the movies lmao. But also I really like the book version. But I don't see many fics with him where he isn't an asshole or the bad guy because the fic needed someone to blame?

It’s crazy to me that Michael Chrichton’s widow hates The Pitt and is suing Noah Wyle & Co. in an effort to get it canceled because she thinks it’s a rip off of her husband’s work (E.R.), but she is totally fine with what Hollywood has done to the integrity of the Jurassic Park franchise.

Wanted to draw that scene from the book, except that I can't draw dinosaurs

Dragon Teeth was written in 1974, but not published until May 23, 2017. It was the third Michael Crichton novel published after his passing. The story took place in 1876 in the Old West and was historical fiction, featuring real life people like Edward Drinker Cope, Othniel Charles Marsh, Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, Charles Hazelius Sternberg, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Collis Huntington, and Robert Louis Stevenson interacting with his fictional William Johnson. The novel focussed on the rivalry between dinosaur bone hunters Cope and Marsh. ("Dragon Teeth", Michael Crichton Book Event)

“Reptiles are abhorrent because of their cold body, pale color, cartilaginous skeleton, filthy skin, fierce aspect, calculating eye, offensive smell, harsh voice, squalid habitation, and terrible venom; wherefore their Creator has not exerted his powers to make many of them.”

- Carl Linnaeus, Systema Naturae

Linnaeus lived in Sweden. If he had the fortune to travel to the tropics he would see that the Creator does indeed make a great many reptiles
