Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom And Character Growth
Spoiler Alert: This post will talk about scenes from Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. If you haven’t seen these two movies, you might wish to avoid this post.
I love reading or hearing about genetic engineering. I also love dinosaurs. So I greatly enjoyed both Jurassic World movies.
I didn’t expect to see character growth yet I did…in ONE of the characters. Owen’s character arc was a mess. I didn’t find it at all logical. The relationship arc was also a mess. The break up between the two movies didn’t fit with either of their characters and it felt like lazy writing.
But Claire’s character arc? WOW. It was impressive.
At the beginning of Jurassic World, the first movie, Claire is completely corporate. She likes to be in total control, prefers things neat and tidy and organized, views the dinosaurs as assets, rather than living beings. Facts and logic are valued by her. She wears suits and high heels, has a short neat hairstyle, perfect makeup, perfect nails.
Her relationships with her subordinates are cool and emotionless. When her nephews come to visit, she puts the job first. Her main goal is to advance in her career. She is living for herself.
Then the Indominus rex, a newly genetically designed dinosaur, breaks loose. This disaster forces her to realize she never truly had control. It was an illusion. The more she tries to regain the control she thought she had, the more danger they are all placed into. She finally relents, accepting the chaos.
As Claire works with Owen to help save the people in the park, the situation gets messier and messier. Her clothing and physical state gets messier also. This outward change reflects her inward growth. She sees the dinosaurs as living beings. She puts people first. She is willing to sacrifice everything, including her life, for others.
In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we see how much the experience in the first movie changed her. Claire has founded a charity to help protect the dinosaurs. She owns practical shoes/boots, dresses neatly but more casually, has grown her hair long. Her relationship with her subordinates is much warmer. She brings them coffee, thinks of them. One of her first acts is to appeal to a politician’s emotions, something she would have never done before the disaster.
Claire shows yet again she’s willing to sacrifice everything for others. She is more in charge in the second movie, more confident, more protective, and more ready to take on the permanent care of other people (like Maisie).
Over these two movies, Claire’s character has progressed from someone not many people would cheer for or like to a character who is very much a heroine we can rally behind. That’s great character building.
This is SO notable that she went from not even appearing on the first movie’s poster to appearing as though she’s saving Owen in the poster for the second movie.

Doc’s Orders
She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.
A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.
Doc isn’t fully functional.
The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.
Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.
Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.
That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.
Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.

The Apollo 11 Moon Landing Party At The Ontario Science Centre
Last weekend, I attended a celebration of the 50 year anniversary of the first moon landing, the Apollo 11 mission. This party was held at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. I took notes, of course. (grins) And I thought maybe you might be interested in some of my highlights.
Dr. Robert Thirsk, Canadian Astronaut
Dr. Robert Thirsk, a Canadian Astronaut who was part of the STS-78, and Soyuz TMA-15 (Expedition 20/21) missions, who had flown on the space shuttle Columbia and also spent 6 months on board the International Space Station, shared his experiences in space.
He stressed that accomplishments in space have benefited us here on Earth. The technology used for the Canadarm, for example, form the basis for robotics being utilized today for neurosurgery. This science is saving lives.
Astronauts are expected to perform at a high level but they’re also expected to have fun. Being in space should be a joy. It is a special experience. Yet there are important tasks to accomplish.
He says his body’s reaction to takeoffs took some getting accustomed to. There’s a rush of bodily fluids rising up in his body. He could feel his intestines lift.
It takes 2 to 3 days to adjust to being in space. After 3 to 5 days, he felt like he was born there. Once he returned to space, there was another 2 to 3 day adjustment period. He couldn’t get out of his seat by himself when they landed on Earth. He had to be assisted.
Dr. Robert Thirsk spoke about how watching the Apollo 11 Moon Landing made him want to become an astronaut. However, there were no Canadian astronauts at the time. They were all Americans or Russians. So he didn’t think that was possible for him. I thought it was interesting how this lack of representation impacted him.
He is excited about the future of space exploration. He’s certain we’ll visit an asteroid in 10 years or less and we’ll be walking on Mars in 15 to 20 years. Those Mars astronauts are alive today, which is a fascinating fact. If you’re a teacher, you could be teaching the first being who steps on Mars.
Dr. Robert Thirsk talked about how being an astronaut is a lifelong role. He’ll be a spokesperson for the space program for life. It will always be part of him.
Cailin Gallinger, Planetary Geophysicist
Cailin Gallinger, a planetary geophysicist and a member of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s (LRO) Diviner instrument science team, relayed some interesting facts about the moon.
The same side of the moon always faces us (which is why folks talk about the dark side of the moon). The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth. It is also shrinking as it emits heat.
That’s one of the reasons why eclipses are so special. Many years ago, the moon would have appeared much larger than the sun. Many years from now, the moon won’t cover our view of the sun. It is only during this special slice of time that the moon perfectly covers the sun during an eclipse.
The surface of the moon can be either extremely hot or extremely cold, depending on what we perceive here on Earth as its fullness (the amount of its illuminated surface). Below the moon’s surface, the temperature is moderate, however. This makes me suspect that any future settlements on the moon will be situated at least partially below the surface.
One of the missions of LRO was to search for water. Water can be used for rocket fuel. They did detect water in the South Pole of the Moon. Cailin Gallinger believes that will be the site for a future permanent base on the Moon.
Wilfred Buck, Science Facilitator For The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre
Wilfred Buck, Science Facilitator for the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre and a member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, talked about First Nations’ contributions to astronomy.
He stressed that every group of people on Earth has names for the stars and an interest in science. They experimented, tested theories, used science in everyday life and it factors in their beliefs about themselves.
The Cree, for example, believe themselves to be star people, spirits learning to be human. Their origin stories are very similar to wormhole theory (based on the theory of relativity). They believe their people traveled through holes in space to reach Earth.
One of the Crees’ constellations, that of a bear, is also rooted in a story about how the bear went around the Earth four times, picking up the momentum necessary to fly into the sky. That’s the slingshot effect, something astronauts use today.
Wilfred Buck shared that members of the First Nations were extremely interested in the Apollo 11 moon landing. The astronauts landed on terrain that was special to his people. They weren’t surprised that water was eventually found there. Their stories foretold there would be.

Talking Medics In Space With Delilah Devlin
I’m at Delilah Devlin’s online home, talking about Doc’s Orders and medics in space.
Here is a snippet…
“I’ve also written quite a few equally awesome medic characters. Why? Because every ship, every team, every settlement usually has at least one medic. It is an essential role. Warriors often become injured and require healing. Beings might visit a settlement for the sole purpose of seeing a medic. If a ship crashes, a medic is likely to be one of the first beings arriving at the site.
Medics in SciFi Romances see plenty of action.”

How I First Became Interested In Evolutionary Biology
I love evolutionary biology. It is the science most prevalent in my stories. I’m fascinated by how beings and creatures change and adapt to survive and thrive in different climates and terrains.
Why do ducks have webbed feet and chickens don’t? (Ducks have evolved for water. Their webbed feet help them swim.) Why do people living in hotter climates have darker skin than people living in cooler climates? (Melanin protects humans from harmful ultraviolet radiation.)
These questions interest me. Greatly.
Fjord Horse
I first became intrigued by evolutionary biology when I was a child. I didn’t know that was what it was called. I didn’t even know I was actively pursuing a science.
I LOVED horses (or hay burners, as my farming Granddad would call them – grins) and studied them thoroughly, taking out books from the library, learning every little detail about them.
When my family got our first computer (a Commodore 64), I crafted a program to input all of my horse facts. This database listed the different horse breeds with every detail I could find about them—their average heights, their common colorings, their origins, etc.
I noted, for example, how all thoroughbreds could trace their origins to three stallions, how they’d derived some of their characteristics from these stallions and some from the English mares.
Breeding is human-assisted evolutionary biology. Horses are selected to breed based on certain characteristics. In a thoroughbred’s case, the primary characteristic is speed.
Why horses have hooves also interested me. I completed a separate project, tracing the evolution of paws to hooves and the advantages hooves give horses in their terrain.
Paint Horse
I invested every spare moment I had into this research. When a teacher offered extra credit to students entering the science fair, I didn’t want to divert my efforts so I entered my database and the associated research projects.
I encountered a tiny snippet of the bias evolutionary biologists today endure. The judges didn’t know what to do with my project. One (male) judge told me pompously that it wasn’t ‘real’ science. There wasn’t an experiment he could touch or see. All I had done was gather information and test theories.
The science fair judges considered disqualifying me but, in the end, they relented, relaying that the massive amounts of programming I’d completed for the database deserved SOME recognition. I earned my extra credit and returned happily to my work on the database. (grins) I knew what I was trying to accomplish and who I was trying to accomplish it for—myself.
I didn’t realize that many years later, my fascination with evolutionary biology would lead to me writing hot and sexy romances featuring cyborgs and aliens.

Mary Shelley – The Movie – Writing Insights
Spoiler Warning: This post will contain some spoilers for the movie – Mary Shelley. If you haven’t watched this movie, you might wish to stop reading now.
Mary Shelley is, of course, a movie about Mary Shelley, the writer of Frankenstein, the book that started the science fiction genre. She was a teenager when she wrote that book and that’s the part of her life the movie dwells on.
This is NOT a documentary. Some artistic liberties have been taken as should be expected with any movie based on real people/events.
I tend to dread movies about writers because, if they’re realistic, they’re deadly boring (staring at blank pages isn’t very exciting – grins), and, if they’re fantasy, they make writing far more action-packed than it is.
This movie, however, gets so much right; I had no choice but love it.
One of the first moments that got my attention was how Mary’s father criticized her writing for being derivative. She was copying other writers’ voices, as many of us do when we first start writing. Her father tells her to find her own voice, to write stories in a way only she can.
It took me quite a while to find my own voice. Like Mary, I copied other writers’ voices. But that feels like wearing someone else’s clothes. It is awkward and unsustainable. Once I found my own voice, writing became much easier and more natural.
I now tell stories only I can. Even if another writer followed the same plot, her story would be different than mine because our voices are different.
I loved how we’re shown how Mary gathered the inspiration for Frankenstein. It isn’t a flash of genius as many movies depict it to be. She picks up bits and pieces throughout her life.
Mary’s mother died soon after childbirth. That prompts a fascination with death, with science, with medical knowledge, with the human body.
Mary is an outcast. She doesn’t fit into society. Frankenstein’s monster is an outcast also. He doesn’t fit into society. The situation might be fictional but the emotions are real. They are Mary’s emotions.
Dr. Frankenstein brings his monster to life. Mary gives birth to a daughter. She creates life.
Mary attends a demonstration showing how electricity can ‘reanimate’ a dead frog. That was the missing piece, the ‘science’ she needed for her story.
She collects bits of her story from her experiences and from the world around her. And then all of those pieces fall into place to create Frankenstein.
Once she has written the story, she hands it to her first critic—her husband. He reads it, praises it, and then asks her to change the story to one that is more ‘hopeful.’ What if the being Dr. Frankenstein created was an angel, a perfect being, and not a monster?
Oh my goodness. I think every writer has received critiques like that, critiques from people who might be talented but who don’t understand what we’re trying to achieve, the story we want to tell. Mary, to her credit, doesn’t take this terrible advice and leaves the being as the monster he was meant to be.
This movie covers other female and writer-related issues. Before she is published, for example, she struggles with her identity as a writer. Can she call herself a writer if she hasn’t published anything? After she has written Frankenstein, she receives rejection after rejection after rejection. People (i.e. male publishers) question that a young woman could write a story like Frankenstein.
I enjoyed Mary Shelley. I wished I had seen it in the theater, surrounded by other writers. That would have been an awesome experience.

The Common Ancestor Theory And Interbreeding With Other Humanoids
I adhere to the common ancestor theory for my alien species.
As a lover of evolutionary biology, I enjoy starting with a common form for all beings and then showing how that form changes or evolves when a being is placed in a different environment. A humanoid living on a wet planet might evolve to have webbed feet, for example.
I also adhere to the common ancestor theory because genetically two species have to be very similar to have viable offspring. I LOVE babies. I want many of my characters to have babies. And, of course, I’m fascinated about how these babies will look and act. Will the baby have his daddy’s wings? Will he have his mommy’s curiosity?
How close genetically do two humanoid species have to be to have viable offspring? Well, if we look at our own human history, our ancestors (homos sapiens) interbred with Neanderthals and the Denisovans, taking traits from both of these species.
See the entire video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdYwMLSNHnU
Knowing this, I do think it is plausible that humanoids with a common ancestor could evolve on two very different planets and still be able to have beautiful babies.

The Creatures In Doc’s Orders
Khambalia 5, the planet the cyborgs explore in Doc’s Orders, is home to some interesting and dangerous alien creatures.
Pahas
Stock art crafted by Likozor
The pahas are wolf-like creatures. They run in packs, see anything that moves as prey, sport sharp claws and teeth. Their coloring allows them to blend into the grayness of the planet’s landscape.
They aren’t the most intelligent creatures, however. Eating and breeding is about all they know and their language is primitive, consisting of barks and growls. They can’t be reasoned with.
Miljoonasuuts
Stock photo taken by dba87
The most dangerous creature on Khambalia 5 is the miljoonasuut, a creature that from the top or side looks like a giant pill bug (also known as a roly-poly, doodle bug or wood shrimp). The miljoonasuut’s exoskeleton is extremely tough. The cyborgs believe it can repel projectiles.
Miljoonasuuts have more in common with pill bugs than merely their appearance. Pill bugs, like miljoonasuuts, eat almost everything, including heavy metals.
Pill bugs can also thrive in places where other Earth species can’t. Miljoonasuuts live on Khambalia 5, a planet barely suitable for sustaining life.
Miljoonasuuts, however, have a few other adaptations. They’re large, bad-tempered, and fairly intelligent. They have multiple mouths with extremely sharp teeth on their undersides.
Miljoonasuuts have evolved to be some of the most dangerous predators in the universe. No one, excluding the cyborgs, mess with them.

Doc’s Orders
She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.
A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.
Doc isn’t fully functional.
The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.
Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.
Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.
That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.
Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.
