We’re watching Jurassic Park (Holy Crap. _18_ years old!) The kids are in the kitchen, the raptor follows the kidlet into the freezer, and they lock the critter in and _PIN_ the door. ugh, starvation. Bummer way to go. ☹ ---

Bummer way to go. ☹ Oh, maybe not…she might freeze to death, or go into a coma from the Lysine deficiency, or maybe die of thirst, before she starves. Or maybe start to panic, and shred up her claws and mouth trying desperately to claw her way out through the metal, and bleed out. Bleeding to death’s actually one of the nicer ways to go, from what I’ve heard. ---

> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > Yeah, she’ll die of this or that in that freezer\*…unless she learns how to open doors…!\* They put a locking pin in the door. Unless she telepathically communicates with one of the Raptors on the other sode of that door, she’s not getting out. Holy F\*ck…telepathic Velociraptors…that’s some nightmare fuel! ---

I bet there’s some ventilation ducts that are accessible through the fridge. She probably crawled through there to safety. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > I don’t know…those kids were pretty darn annoying. You think that was annoying? Try the book. Tim was all right, but the little girl should have been left with the goat for the Rex to gobble out. She added nothing! Actually I really liked the kids in the first one. By the third one, the child prodigy was getting old. ---

Bummer way to go. ☹ I officially do not give a damn how genetically engineered monsters which have been feasting on living humans die, so long as the means are not “choking on the flesh of a human being.” Even if someone had come up with a completely safe means of freeing the beastie, I’d vote for leaving it to die. ---
