What I love most about Roxton and Marguerite's relationship is that at first you might think that John Roxton is going to be this macho man, this hunter who sees a beautiful woman as a prize to be won, a rare jewel for him to discover. And you might think "aha, so it's going to be this kind of dynamic, oh boy..."

But then it turns out he is the sweetest, the kindest and the most considerate man in existence, a man who falls head over heels for a woman who is not the easiest person to love - and day after day he teaches her what love and compassion is, he helps her open up, accepts all parts of her, loves her and protects her no matter what. To add to that, he is flirty and playful, but also pretty vulnerable at times.

Marguerite's character adds to the beauty of her relationship with Roxton as much as Roxton's does. When we are introduced to her, we see her as a self-serving, cunning and manipulative person, someone who is driven only by her own desires, who does everything for her own personal gain. However, as the story unfolds, we see that her cold and calculating nature is a carefully crafted façade that she hides behind, and she slowly learns to trust others, starts to share her insecurities with people who little by little become her family.

Make no mistake, at the end of the day Marguerite is still bold, snarky and as morally gray as can be, but she is also softer, kinder to herself and to others, and it adds volumes to the complexity of her character. And the fact that she finds a man who challenges her and argues with her when she is wrong, but who still loves her unconditionally, who helps her heal, who makes her understand that she deserves so much more that she allows herself to have is so utterly beautiful and so important to me.

The Lost World (1925)

This was the first, and arguably the best, film version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel. It was also the first major motion picture to extensively feature stop motion animation, which was brilliantly rendered by Willis O'Brien.

Obie, of course, would find more fame eight years later with his magnum opus, King Kong.

The Lost World was a great success and spurred other dinosaur related productions. Unfortunately, the scene depicted on the poster does NOT occur in the movie. It is not a Tyrannosaurus rex, but instead a brontosaurus (yes, I know that name is incorrect, but that's what it's called in the film) that rampages through (then) modern-day London.

APPEALING TO FANS OF THE LOST WORLD AND TALES OF THE SOUTH SEAS

I am hunting a fanfiction named After The Storm written by author Mary Whimsey. You may also know it as episode 215 of Mary Whimsey and Susan Zell's Second Virtual Season of Tales of the South Seas. I've hunted down every other episode of this series of fanfics (and may I just say they're fucking incredible) via the Wayback Machine but this one continues to elude me. I have a Russian translation of it, of all things, which I've just run through google's auto translate, but you can understand why that's maybe not the best.

If anyone has a copy, or knows any place it might be found I BEG YOU send it my way or give me any clue you can, because I'm at my wits end!

Oh, and you early Lost World fans know why this is directed at you guys too ;)

You know those movies or series where some 19th century or early 20th century scientists accidentally travel back in time or discover an unknown continent where dinosaurs still exist? So they have to fight dinosaurs, the elements and really struggle to survive in this unknown world?

That, only with one of them coming down with the most dreadful cold, or being injured and suffering from a high fever (or both, why not be greedy while I'm at it ^^)...

#snzarios #there was this series that I think is called “Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World” in English from the late 90s early 2000s which I LOVED #kept thinking of sicknarios with characters from there.. or other characters I fancied and just threw into that universe because why not? : #snz and dinosaurs #plus late 19th century fashion because I'm a sucker for this #please don't judge :D #also: I have not watched the above series in 20 years and have no idea if it is actually trash #but it lives as a good adventure filled series with hot whump-worthy characters in my memory :D

Sherlock Holmes in the Lost World

Sherlock Holmes’s latest mystery has somehow brought him and Watson all the way to a remote region of South America. While Holmes has his magnifying glass out to investigate some footprints the local wildlife left behind, Watson realizes that the architect of said tracks is following them in turn…

This is of course my way of uniting Holmes with his creator’s other famous literary legacy. I know his deerstalker hat and cloak may not be the most practical getup for a tropical climate, but given how definitive it has become of Sherlock’s look, I felt he would be all but unrecognizable without it.

Creationism and Early Paleontology

It should come to no surprise to anyone that the field of paleontology has more often than not rubbed shoulders with Creationism, or the belief that the development of species like mankind had divine intervention as opposed to natural selection and evolution. I'm not gonna really go too into detail on Creationism since this isn't really about debunking it (especially since I am a devout Roman Catholic).

It's more about a time in the history of paleontology when Creationism was a widely accepted belief and how it impacted the very beginning of the field.

For hundreds of years, Creationism was THE dominant belief that everything in existence was created to be perfect by God and the world and species themselves were unchanging. Why change what is already perfect after all. George Cuvier would be the first to challenge that assumption, contending that some species could in fact go extinct for one reason or another. To support this claim, he cited fossils of elephants that once lived in Europe as a different species that would've been easy to find if they were still alive. This species would later become known as the Wooly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) by today's paleontologists.

At the time, the ideas of extinction and deep time was practically unheard of, so it was inevitable that details wouldn't exactly age too well with so little evidence to go on. For example, the biblical flood from the story of Noah was often used as an explanation for why fossils from seemingly different parts of the world would end up in places they shouldn't be. In 1821 for instance, Reverend William Buckland examined hyena fossils that were discovered in Kirkdale Cave, England.

Rather than assume that they belonged to an extinct species of hyena, Buckland believed that the bones were washed to Europe by the Flood, citing their shallow deposition within the cave as proof.

Buckland would later go on to describe Megalosaurus, the first dinosaur ever to be described.

It wasn't until around 1859 with the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species that the rift between paleontology and Creationism began to form. Darwin argued that, rather than species being made perfect, they evolved to best survive in their environment over a gradual period of time. He often cited fossils of South American prehistoric mammals about how various species changed over time. Naturally he got in hot water with the Church for his radical ideas.

It's here where dinosaurs would find themselves in the middle of this controversy. Archeopteryx was discovered in 1861, just two years after Darwin published his book, and was often used as a missing link between birds and reptiles. While Darwin himself never studied Archeopteryx, he did remark its existence proved that we had a lot to learn about the denizens of the prehistoric past.

Perhaps the most outstanding example was the widespread belief in the early 20th century that dinosaurs may still exist in some parts of the world. The idea was that since the Earth was believed to have been only a few thousand years old, then chances were there might be living relics somewhere in the unexplored wilderness. In particular the Congo and South America. One of the most notable instances was an account by Percy Fawcett, the famous explorer that went missing for the lost city of Z, remarked on an early expedition in 1906 that he had seen:

“an animal he believed might be Diplodocus, the eighty-foot reptile of twenty-five tons. This animal he though might still be in existence as it was an eater of aquatic plants, which grow profusely in this region. The Diplodocus story is confirmed by many of the tribes east of the Ucayali”.

Obviously, there's a decent chance he may have fabricated these stories as many explorers did, but there was a real effort to find living dinosaurs at the dawn of the 20th century. A concept that was used for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's best selling novel, The Lost World, who directly based the accounts of dinosaurs off of Fawcett's stories.

Nowadays, living dinosaurs is only widely believed by those that adhere to the Creationist theory, along with the belief that the earth was young. But it's important to remember that there was a time that these ideas weren't considered pseudoscience, but practical fact and seriously considered by scientists. It was a fascinating period where knowledge of paleontology was still very young, and how some things that would seem like fiction or farcical were taken seriously. And a reminder of how much time has passed since then and how much information has rewritten how we view the ancient world.

Muppet The Lost World - My Ideas For An Adaptation

A muppet adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyale’s novel, The Lost World would be awesome to me as both a paleo fan and Muppet fan.

Illustrations of the events in the book as reference point for the story: https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/07/vintage-dinosaur-art-lost-world-ladybird.html

For that concept I’d say reuse elements from the cancelled ‘The Natural History Project’: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/The_Natural_History_Project, and possibly the classic show, Dinosaurs. Extra points if they were to 1) use dinosaurs that were actually native to South America in the late Cretaceous period as the ones that make an appearance in the story. Maybe have a few less popular/well known ones thrown in? 2) it’d be great if they get real creative and colourful with the designs based on the new waves of paleo art, discoveries and mindset of the present. Heck, I wouldn’t be against a blend of a retro vibe to it, say, the 80s - 2000’s? I mean, for example, take a loot at these.

Not at all your typical bland and dull colours. https://mobile.twitter.com/delgadosaurus/status/1336366307545993216

As well as the newer stuff too: https://mobile.twitter.com/serpenillus/status/796060690347859968, I mean, does that NOT look like a muppet Jim Henson Co. would make? More of their art too: https://mobile.twitter.com/SerpenIllus

The opening number has an eerie sort of vibe w/ a heavy mysterious aura. Sung by people and animals that live down at the bottom of the plateau/in the area. Telling of the strange noises and shapes they faintly see up there through the mist and fog. Going something like this:

“🎶 All those who go, up on that plateau; death is their fate as such ancient dangers await; a land unchanged and secrets untold from the time of old; great adventures unfurled in this mysterious Lost World. 🎶”.

Now for the casting, I say Miss Piggy as Professor Challenger. In the novel the man is brash, loud and a boxer type. That’s exactly who she is and easily fit into the role.... other than the detail of his great dislike of the press. Piggy is all for showing off. As a change to the story, maybe have it that her dislike of the press is because they printed an image on the news of herself when she had a bad hair day and has since resented them. Or that the laughter, doubt and disbelief of her recent South American expedition has left her extremely jilted and humiliated. Among the crowd are Statler and Waldorf who heckle her. Though deep down she craves for that attention again, but without a good amount of proof and witnesses to back up her claims it seems fruitless. As well as the reputation of her temperament scaring off potential joiners of her travels.

As for Kermit’s role, I’d cast him as Summerlee, a doubter and estranged colleague of Challenger. A rift formed and they split.

Other muppets on the trip would be Gonzo, an publisher/editor-in-chief of the Daily Gazette (re-named Gonzotte). He doesn’t like the stuffiness of the office so he goes to see Challenger to try and get a scoop on her recent expedition to South America, which is clouded with controversy as her claims are unbelievable. Another employee, Edward Malone (the only human for the journey) tags along seeking a dangerous assignment to impress the woman he loves, who wishes for a brave man. At the plateau, as a joke/gag for Gonzo is his sudden interest in one of the feathered dromeosaurs, say a Archaeopteryx or a Microraptor (or other). Be his equivalent to a man having the hots for a cave woman.

Sam Eagle is there as Lord John Roxton.

For their meal that gets stolen by the flying reptile, a pterosaur, it‘d be the same one they bring back to London at the end. Here they meet the little pterosaur when they make it up to the plateau recognizing them as the one that took their meal. They decide to stick around with the group and is later convinced to return to London with them. Promising of stardom and fame. Eventually though, she starts to get homesick and not really liking their cage, so the group, Summerlee, Gonzo and Edward and after some convincing, Challenger too, release her and she flies off. To return to her home, The Lost World.

As a nod to the first film adaptation in 1925, the bad guy is a large sauropod, Goliath. He is a bully to the other dinosaurs and prehistoric animals on the plateau, both herbivore and carnivore alike, because of his great size. It intimidating all the predators and makes them thinks twice about putting him on their menu list. Going as far as to claim that the lost world as his and his alone. He doesn’t like the intruders one bit and the guns they brought as it shifts the tides on his power and reign over everyone on the plateau. His demise is his own great size and mass as he falls to their death as the edge crumbles beneath his feet.

Now, this is about all I got on the matter for the time being. Feel free to critique this and what-not. I’m thinking that later on I’ll make some fan art to illustrate this idea of mine. Probably make changes too in later drafts. Later!

Love the amount of "the boys are being sluts and put us all in danger" plots that get solved with "the girls know the boys are being sluts and tell them for the full episode until they have to jump in and save everyone" resolution. BC there are A LOT. Like, waaaay too many women come out of the jungle half naked and waaaay too many times the boys just go, yeah totally no problem let's make out.

Silly plot tempered by the number of "the girls are being sluts and put us all in danger" that also happen where the boys have to fix everything.

The Lost World is equal opportunity slutville.

#the lost world #my stuff #the whole point of these eps is that the counter party runs around the whole episode super jealous #it's so delightful #sir arthur conan doyle's the lost world

[lanistas]

I kinda forgot how Roxton is super protective of Marguerite from day one.

And not in "oh, the jungle is not a place for a woman" kind of way (even though he did say something like that in a deleted scene from the pilot). Or "I want to make you mine, so I'll be by your side blinding you with my manliness" kind of way either.

No, it's more like "you are a huge pain in my butt, but you're still a part of my team, so I'm not going to let you get eaten by a crocodile" kind of way.

And this is so wonderful to watch. He is just trying not to leave her out of sight, making sure she doesn't get herself into trouble. He is the protector of the group, and that includes protecting her, no matter how difficult she makes that. And yeah, you can already see that there's a certain attraction here and that he finds her intriguing, but mostly I think she just annoys him at this point?

My teenage self chose her first otp well haha.

every female character in recent history (not animated) tries to be Marguerite Krux (multidimentional, allowed to be a real person with real feelings and reactions and, most importantly, flawed, imperfect, and allowed to make mistakes and learn) so hard and yet they miss the target by half the distance between here and the sun, when everyone in studios should just understand that perfect doesn't mean better, quite the contrary

#i a m rewatching sir arthur conan doyle's the lost world and I am always amazed at how constantly selfish she is and how she's in #it for herself and literally sold into marriage the girl who saved them right into the first episode. and kind of unflinchingly sells her #companions almost every other episode to save her hide #she's greedy and will do anything to amass jewels gems and other such things. taunts the people living with her daily. lies every other wor #and thinks first and foremost about herself #but then. then you see her playing the people she was cozying up to to save her friends. plays as summerlee's dead wife while he was out #of it and was almost certain to die of poisoning. puts herself at risk again and again to help her friends becomes more empathetic as the #episodes progress. help literal strangers even though there's nothing in it for her #just. this is amazing. I haven't seen anything like this since the early 2010s and I miss it so badly #also marguerite krux definitely first woman crush ever now that I can look back at my childhood with the right lenses #I mean have you seen her?????? #not double but triple agent. black widow of vienna. heiress. gemmologist literal reincarnation of a goddess??? #poilyglot version of supersayan. certified badass. super mysterious past. orphan just to add that tad of angst and by god #rachel blakely is hot #the lost world #marguerite krux

Beyond Sherlock: The Injustice Done to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

What do you do for the birthday of Sherlock Holmes' creator? You talk about his other great works, of course! Find out what made Sir Arthur Conan Doyle a knight and why he is important for more than just the famous detective he created.

Far from being a popular fiction icon, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a literary figure that belongs on every syllabus for reasons that go beyond Sherlock Holmes. Holmes may be the direct inspiration behind figures such as Lord Peter Wimsey, Albert Campion, and the latent inspiration for James Bond and Jack Reacher, but far too often, Sir Arthur is bound by his own literary creation.

While I enjoy The Lost World, I felt that the "ending" left me "empty", like I wanted some more.

THis is why I have begun writing my own version of the series finale. MY question is: IF I post this, will it be seen as copyright infringement?

I HOPE someone can help me with this.
