The Power and the Peril! is the fifth episode of the miniseries, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, after Pteranodon't!. It premiered on telesvision on October 12, 2019 and was followed by Spit Take!.
Plot[]
Dr. Ian Malcolm returns to Isla Nublar to give a lecture and promote his new book. Masrani makes poor modifications to the park's power plant to handle the extra tourists who will be visiting the island to see Malcolm. Subsequent power surges cause issues at the park while Owen and Claire are giving Malcolm a tour. Later, they accompany Malcolm on a monorail to the amphitheater where he will give his lecture. Hudson, a fan of Malcolm, also joins them. Owen becomes jealous as Claire seems to become infatuated with Malcolm. Because of a power surge, the monorail speeds out of control, but Malcolm rips out several wires which halt the monorail. At the power plant, Owen uses his raptors to bypass electrical hazards and reach a control panel to resolve the power issue. Claire reveals to Owen that she had only been complimenting Malcolm earlier in order to boost his ego ahead of his lecture. She also tells Hudson that Owen saved the park, prompting Hudson to admire him and convince his parents to extend their stay at Jurassic World. Meanwhile, unable to obtain the VHS tape, Danny instead hypnotizes Sinjin to help him remember footage of the tape that he had briefly viewed when Masrani previously played the tape in Dennis Nedry's trailer. However, Sinjin is unable to recall the footage.
Trivia[]
- This episode takes place on June 29, 2012.
- This episode marks the return of Larson Mitchell from Episode 1.
- According to Hudson, Charlie has the longest arms.
- Sinjin is revealed to be of English nationality.
- The interior of the monorail has a different design: it does not have a cockpit like in Juarssic World: Camp Cretaceous, but has a dashboard, visibly accessible to everyone, which is not present in the monorail of Jurassic World.
- Cartoon Physics:
- Compsognathus could easily get under barriers or between bars to escape.
- The Compsognathus is strong enough to drag Hudson.
- Danny sinks in quicksand up to his head in seconds. In reality, it is very difficult for a human to sink into quicksand, let alone that quickly.
- Although the current from the power plant seems very powerful, Owen and Charlie take a electrical shock but escape unscathed.
References[]
- Jurassic Park : Ian refers to the events of the first film when he mentions "a man being devoured while sitting on the toilet". He adds that he saw it.
- He makes a second reference to it when he explains that sitting in the back of a jeep in a theme park with the word "Jurassic" is not an experience he enjoys.
- He makes a third and final reference when he comments that he's sitting in a jeep, being chased by carnivores, and that it reminds him of something.
Errors[]
- Four Compsognathus are seen circling Dr. Wu and Allison, but there are five when the raptors chase them away. They are then four again when Owen captures them, although this is intentional, since the fifth Compy has gone into hiding.
- Ian and Wu do not exchange any dialogue despite knowing each other.
- In the monorail, Owen and Ian throw the access hatch panel, but it disappears in all subsequent shots.
- When Claire hugs Owen, he looks noticeably taller than her, whereas all Lego figures are normally the same height.
