Retroactive Continuity

Noun: the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction, commonly refered to as "retcon"; known in RPGs as a "reality shift"

That's what happens between Jurassic Park and The Lost World. The latter I really hope someone has somewhere, Id really like to read it.

So I wonder if I can add Malcolm to my list of favorite characters who die or not, seeing how his death is retconned for the sequel?

Small world. John Michael Crichton, a man I've never even heard of before, is as unanimous as Tara Strong, except for totally different works. He was the screenwriter for the series E.R. I never knew.

And he just might be one of my favorite authors ever. So I really wanna get more of his books - luckily they're all old, so I can buy them pretty cheap.

But Ill wait and see if I like his other works just as much as this one, or if Im biased because I love the movies so much - which, unlike most other movies I've seen, was actually incredibly accurate when compared with the book, minus a few slight details.

I agree with the Malcolm Effect. I believe in the Chaos Theory. The Butterfly Effect. It makes sense to me - I dont know if that makes me logical or not.

Life's life. It keeps moving. Some things are altered, and you go back to how things were before, and everything just falls into place again after being shook up momentarily.

That's because it's all a nonlinear equation, science and physics cant really explain it, but there are many theories, a plethora of theories, none of which can be proved or disproved. But oh well.

Kelly Clarkson's playing, and I have to paint a hallway before writing my three english essays, so I cant be philosophical for a while now. Time to get to work.

"But if you look at it from retrospec, the graph of one day is the same as the graph for a year. Each day is the same as a year."
~Ian Malcolm (Michael Chrichton)
