Intro: T-Shirt.  Outro: Death of a Dream.
The Text:
This week’s text is Return, spanning from pages 191 – 193. 
Synopsis:
Driving in the gas-powered jeep, Harding, Gennaro and Sattler are impeded by a large, fallen tree. The radios are down, and they can’t report the damage back to control. Meanwhile Arnold and Muldoon can’t find Nedry, nor the jeep. 
Discussions surround:
Problems with the narration, and the Island Layout.
Corrections:
Donald Gennaro has a background in investment banking (p. 49), and he may have been the type of lawyer who helps set up Limited Liability Partnerships and articles of incorporation, that sort of stuff. So, not "just a finance lawyer," though it's not entirely specified what types of law he practices. We're told their high-tech clients frequently need capitalization, and Gennaro aided with that, and specifically in the fundraising for InGen (p. 50).
And as we were a bit confused on the compy venom, possibly because there is the source text, then the expanded cinematic universe and what's canon in the film ... there's too much to keep straight! In th enovel, on page 26, we're told, the compy venom "seemed to be a neurotoxic poison related to cobra venom, although more primitive in structure." 
The predator to prey ratio said earlier in the novel (p. 43) is 1:400 based upon African and Indian game park models. For example, 10,000 hadrosaurs, therefore, yield only 25 tyrannosaurs, according to that math. Jurassic Park, has more than one carnivore, and less than 400 total animals, therefore, both sides of that 1:400 ratio, so ... it's WAY out of equilibrium, and the foodweb would surely collapse in a matter of a few feeding cycles, probably in a month or something.
The actual ratio is (if you factor out the compys and pterosaurs, because they're not quite preying on the other herbivores) the ratio is 46:175.
That's 2 tyrannosaurs, 7 dilophosaurs and 37 raptors preying on the rest of the island - in fact, I might put the compys in the "prey" category as the raptors would probably eat those, especially as meals became more scarce. So that readjusts to 46: 240.
Side effects: 
May cause confusion.

The Text:
Fourth Iteration
“Inevitably, underlying instabilities begin to appear” (p. 179).
This week’s text is The Main Road, spanning from pages 181-191.
Synopsis:
Big Rex knocks down the fences in the storm, and ominously directs her terrifying attention upon everyone in the Land Cruisers. Ed Regis wets his pants and runs away, but everyone else is left in the tyrannosaur’s devastating path. Lex’s screams are cut off by the lowering of the tyrannosaur’s head, Malcolm is flung like a rag doll, Tim is trapped in the Land Cruiser, which the tyrannosaur throws into the top of a tree, and Grant has a moment of discovery, realizing that if he remains absolutely still, the tyrannosaur can’t see him – but then it kicks at him, and he blacks out upon hitting the ground. 
Discussions surround:
Movie adaptations, The Dinosaurs, Believe me, I know! and The Iterations.
Corrections:
For an upcoming “Allusions” section I was reviewing one of the fundamental biotech companies that Crichton references – and I realized I’ve been saying and spelling it totally wrong – because I can’t see or something? What I’ve been calling “Genetech” all this time is actually Genentech with a second N stuck in the middle!

Park officials believe the eggshells are avian, whereas Grant and Malcolm agree, they are dinosaur eggshells. To prove his point, Malcolm leads Wu through a series of data like procompsognathus height charts and an overall animal count, to demonstrate conclusively that multiple species are breeding in the park and have been for ages.
Wu can’t believe it – and is terrified: if the animals are breeding, it calls into question every security measure they’ve put in place! Grant concludes there are seven nesting sites on the island.

The Text:
This week’s text is Stegosaur, spanning from pages 154 - 157. 
Synopsis:
The tour continues to the stegosaurus paddock, where the vet is tending to a sick stego, which Grant rushes to inspect. The stegos are “always getting sick,” but Sattler cracks the case! While consuming gizzard stones, the stegos were inadvertently also consuming toxic berries – explaining why there is no trace of the west Indian lilac bushes being eaten, nor in the stego spoors. Because it’s not the plants, it’s the berries. They find this evidence in a discarded pile of gizzard stones … as well as something else even more shocking!
Meanwhile, Gennaro quizzes Malcolm on why Chaos theory predicts that Jurassic Park is unsafe for people – or put differently, will have “very large consequences for human life.” Animal welfare and animal containment are predicted to fail at Jurassic Park – and no sooner has he said that, Grant and Ellie reveal their consequential discovery – a raptor eggshell, proving that dinosaurs are breeding in Jurassic Park.

The Text:
This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 149 - 154. 
Synopsis:
Wu, Hammond and Arnold begin to feel some anxieties of the consultants actually recommending that the park be closed for safety reasons, and become leery of Malcolm and Gennaro in particular – while our consultants tour through the sauropod paddock, enjoying the view of Triceratops, Apatosaurus and Hadrosaurs.
Muldoon, on the other hand, has anxieties of the consultants’ actual safety, and preps his Jeep with a rocket launcher just in case – which isn’t much of a vouch of confidence for the park’s safety is it?
At the same time, a large storm coming in jeopardizes the safety of the big supply ship, the Anne B, and since Hammond spared the expense of installing a storm barrier at the docks, this ship must depart early.
Oh, and unbelievably, contrary to everything they’ve been told so far on this tour, Tim spots a rogue velociraptor running amongst the hadrosaurs, and it’s so unbelievable everyone scrambles to find an explanation.

The Text:
 
This week’s text is Control, spanning from pages 138 - 143.
 
Synopsis:
 
Arnold and  Hammond quarrel over the difficulties the park must overcome to have Jurassic Park ready for its grand opening, because they have all the problems of a major theme park, all the problems of a major zoo, and the added difficulties of caring for animals nobody’s ever observed before. It’s revealed that Dennis Nedry is here to fix the bugs in the system this weekend. On the tour, the guests visit the venomous dilophosaurus
Discussions surround:
Tension, Contrivances in the plot, Timeline, The Dinosaurs, Voice Acting, Park Management, Errors, and the Island's Layout.
Side effects: 
May cause you to have trouble removing venomous sacs from anesthetized dilophosauruses.
