It emerges from the egg fully functional with all of its adult capabilities. It was genetically designed to only eat dumb tourists. It can not be detected by any human devices.

I'm kind of fuzzy but I thought the explanation was "we spliced in so much external DNA that who fuckin' knows what they're biologically capable of" Maybe that was the explanation for how they were breeding?

They were breeding because of frog DNA or something. When there are two many female frogs, some will mutate into males, or so the book claims.

It's never followed up on in the Lost World because Crichton was never going to write a sequel to JP until the movie blew up. The Lost World is the first book I ever read where I could tell it was rushed out and written with a movie already in mind.

In the book it's 2 kids who were the expedition tech guy's lab assistants who stow away onto the island, they changed it to 1 kid (who is also Malcolm's adopted daughter??) in the movie for uhhh focus testing reasons maybe?

marktheando posted:I only half remember that episode. Why did they leave earth and go to the other side of the galaxy? Well probably earth getting smacked by an asteroid and extincting everything didn't help. They were a totally spaceborne civilisation after that, and they were on the other side of the galaxy in Voyager because I dunno but they're transwarp capable so jetting around the galaxy is trivial and over the millions of years they forgot their origin. They're probably the most advanced species ever seen in trek that's not an energy blob, actually. They have transwarp, they could just fold space to teleport their ships hundreds of light years instantly as well, their capital city is a dozen or so kilometre long city ship, they cloak and go out of phase casually, they beamed the whole of Voyager into a cargo bay of their city and just turned the ship off and suppressed all power and batteries without a problem.

Are we to assume this is some sort of magical gravity plating that causes objects to fall in a such a way that there is no acceleration and objects fall at a constant speed? I hope someone was fired over that blunder.

Is there any canonical difference between phasers and disruptors or does Starfleet just have strong branding on what's basically the same deal? e: If a Starfleet officer picks up a Romulan weapon, is it now a phaser?
