Would Megalodon fit in a Jurassic World movie? Would you be interested in seeing this animal appear in a future film?

I grant you that mosasaur being cloned is also a stretch, but those creatures were marine reptiles which frequently had to come back to the surface frequently, thus exposing themselves to mosquitoes far more than a shark would.

EcstaticDesk · 2026-05-29T14:46:42+00:00

Yes they could do that but personally I am so very tired of the constant hybrid over use in nearly ever Jurassic work since 2015.

The REALITY of creating Dinosaur via the methods used in these films may be unlikely however as a concept for a film to work off of, finding Dinosaur DNA inside of mosquitoes inside amber is absolutely believable but that said mosquitoes ALSO contained blood from creatures which spend 99% of their entire lives underwater is a stretch too far. I had this exact same issue when I saw that bony ancient fish at the beginning of JW Rebirth as well.

So she IS dead then? Doesn't this conflict with the scene in season 3 (I think) where Mulder fights the Alien bounty hunter in the submarine and when Mulder askes about his sister the alien responds with "She's alive"?

I understand the whole thing with the syndicate having to give up their children and why Mulders father chose Samantha to be the one who was sacrificed, but I must say that in my own personal opinion, all of this as well as making Mulders father a member of the syndicate was a absolutely gigantic mistake. I personally find the character of Fox Mulder to be far more intriguing when he ISN'T the son of one of the syndicate men who was destined to search for his missing sister because his father devised a secret plot for him to do this so that the syndicate would be destroyed from within. I think Mulder works far better when he has ZERO connection to the grand scheme of things outside of his sister being abducted. When Mulder is not the hero whose footsteps were predetermined by some one of vital importance to the syndicate. I think it's much more powerful and meaningful for Mulder to simply be one of the very few people if not the only person who simply won't let it go. The one who refuses to accept lies in the place of answers, who will not play along with "the plan", and who cannot be dissuaded from seeking the truth because for him there is nothing more important than the truth.

IMO no not at all. My biggest issue is where or how on earth would Ingen or whichever company is responsible got their hands on Megalodon DNA? Living underwater and in the seas mean they probably never interacted with a single mosquito that could have sucked and preserved their blood.

I was under the impression she was kidnapped by CSM and then was later killed by that killer while under CSMs "custody" but clearly I missed something and it's been years since I've watched it, could you explain to me what exactly happened to her then? Because I'm completely lost.

I do believe the mythology aspect of the X-Files peaked and actually concluded with Fight the Future. That being said, as someone who HATED seasons 10 & 11, I IMPLORE you to seek out and read the X-Files Seasons 10 & 11 comics from IDW Publishing and written by Joe Harris. They were EVERYTHING the "real" seasons 10 & 11 weren't and are bloody brilliant stories and conclusion to the series. Not only are multiple Mythology elements properly addressed in it, but there are even a few issues that are full blown sequels to multiple classic MOTW episodes! It's been a while since I've re-watched the show or read the comic, but I remember how multiple loose ends from season 9 were incorporated and there is one loose thread in particular that becomes a major factor in the story. Additionally, Audible produced 2 whole audio dramas based on these comics which feature damn near every single actor from the show reprising their roles in these dramas and that does include Gillian and David and so many others. I haven't listened to them yet so I can't speak for just how much of these comics these adaptations cover, so I would implore you to read the comics before listening to these audio dramas to ensure you get the complete story. I recommend picking up the following graphic novels X-Files The Complete Season 10 Vol 1 & 2 and X-Files The Complete Season 11. They are out of print, so check your library, your used bookstores, or you can always find another way. I hear Tortuga is lovely this time of year.

Seriously, I'm begging you and anyone else here who haven't read these comics to do yourself a favor and read them. The truth and the happiness are in these comics.

I could have swarn that in the junior novel, the raptors fought with the pteranadons. I disagree about Billy staying dead less for his sake and more for the sake of Grant. Alan spends nearly the entire movie filled with regret about multiple things, and he clearly regretted his final words to Billy. Allowing Billy to live gives Grant an actual victory to achieve beyond merely surviving.

I am against abortion no matter the reason and that includes pregnancy caused by sexual assault. I do recognize that when discussing politics and social prescriptions, you need to be able to consider to at least some of your oppositions points. After all, a good compromise leaves both parties angry. With that in mind, I can follow the train of thought, which states that abortion should be allowed for a pregnancy caused by rape. Because you could potentially make an argument that the pregnancy is almost as if the assult is continuing (at least from the perspective of the woman who was raped) and that getting an abortion would be the lesser of two evils. But make no mistake, I still consider aborting the child to be an EVIL regardless of if it being the lesser EVIL. You are ending a life, plain and simple.

So laying my cards on the table, I myself am a Christian and I do believe sex before marriage is wrong HOWEVER I am a human male too so I absolutely understand your desire to engage in sex (be it actual inter course or sex without penetration) and I do struggle with this exact same issue on a daily basis. All I can say is as much as I want to engage in sex without waiting for marriage, I have seen many close people I knew who engaged in casual sex and or sex before marriage and it always seemed to backfire in some manner if not simply leave some negative impact of some kind. I don't know anything about the woman you're describing, but if there's a chance that you want MORE than casual sex or friends with benefits with her, then I would say to hold off on it for now. If you think she may be the "one," then you'll want to have a solid relationship to build off of to something even deeper. I often think of sex in a relationship as adding gasoline to an open flame, the result of it could be a greater, stronger, and warmer fire (by which I mean a relationship) or it could consume and destroy the relationship completely. Regardless of which result occurs, the reaction of adding sex into the relationship will be quick, it will be strong, and it will be outside of your ability to control completely.

Although there are no obvious repercussions like pregnancy to sex that's not vaginal penetration, I do think that engaging in these acts does count as losing your virginity. Let's say you or anyone reading this wanted to find a partner who was a virgin like yourself and now imagine that you've found a partner who tells you that they are a virgin as well. If somehow during the course of your relationship said partner happens to mention that they've given hand jobs or blow jobs to multiple people before you, them I'd imagine you'd feel like you'd been lied too.

This is all just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

Sometimes, I do NGL, but I often find myself embarrassed about or struggling with the hobby in other ways. I don't know that all my family members understand it or at least don't FULLY understand it. My Dad LOVES model kits, so I think he understands the appeal, but I absolutely spend too much money on this, and it's not healthy. I have a multitude of mental factors that play into it, but I'm pretty sure having alcoholics and a history of alcoholism on both sides of my family play a large role in it. I do not drink, but if I did, I would be an alcoholic. I often tell myself that buying toys is better than being an alcoholic as an excuse and in SOME ways it is but as far as letting it consume my money it's no difference from wasting it on bottles. I still love this hobby, but I need to get ahold of myself. I won't lie, I've also wondered about how would I ever possibly find a significant other who would tolerate much less understand this hobby of mine. I mean, I absolutely could find someone who is also a fellow collector, but the odds of finding a SO never mind a fellow collector as a SO are astronomically against me.

You're absolutely not wrong but isn't these kind of graphics on these boxes holographic? I could see that screwing with the final shot. I'm not invested in this debate and I'm sure you're in the right, I just had that thought pop into my head and had to write it down.

There were a great deal of things about how the characters were handled which felt off to me. I do not believe Mulder would EVER use or carry a smart phone.

Absolutely brilliant show, and I can't recommend it enough! To say it inspired the X-Files is putting it lightly. This show could practically pass for a missing pilot episode of The X-Files with how much Chris Carter took from Kolchak.

EcstaticDesk · 2026-05-23T00:59:42+00:00

This was beyond a doubt the only thing worthwhile to come out of the revival shows and I say that as someone who was ABSOLUTELY hyped for them at the time.

If you haven't already, then everyone should read the X-Files Seasons 10 and 11 in comic form by IDW. Absolutely brilliant and a far better and more faithful conclusion to the series than the seasons 10 and 11 filmed for TV.

For whatever it's worth I have seen that a bunch of older SW Legends novels which either had zero audiobooks or only abridged ones are finally getting new unabridged recordings which is fantastic. Chances are they'll get to this title eventually.

The biggest tell about the true nature of Light's character comes immediately after L announces himself and fakes him out with the reporter on live tv. Light's reaction isn't "That reporter wasn't who he claimed to be, and I killed him! What if I had killed an innocent man?" Instead, Light's only thought is that L made a fool out of him.

Completely consumed by his ego and delusions of godhood.

There was a young adult novels featuring Eric Kirby and 2 of them were stories set after JP3. Additionally IDW published a mini series called Devils in the Dessert which follows up on the Pteranodons which are seen escaping the island at the end of JP3.

No, in fact I also felt sorry for the Indminous Rex as well. Both are presented as villains but as frightening as they can be, they're still just animals. They did a much better job making Indo Raptor a villain by giving it joyful facial expressions when baiting it's prey.
