"Hurricane"
01:27 Big Alice (the Allosaur) is eating bloody bones and
meat from a dead carcass.
01:55 Will refers to the `carrot patch' being just ahead.
But Spike (the Triceratops) is in the way.
02:17 Holly mention that it is lucky that Spike is so
nearsighted. Will mentions that it is lucky that Holly has
run out of her perfume.
02:33: Holly refers to Wills "famous explorations" when Will
has an idea of a place where there are no dinosaurs.
02:36 Will mentions seeing a "gold gleam" on a mountaintop.
Holly reminds will that the "last time you saw a gleam on
the hilltop, Dad got shocked by those two blue crystals.".
Holly reminds Will that she is afraid of heights. Will says
that it is one place they will not run into Grumpy and
company.
03:30 After some difficulty in climbing rocks, Will and
Holly rest. Holly notes that it is a long way down, and that
it is some view from up here. They continue to climb
(without ropes).
04:30 After they are high enough to be surrounded by
snow-capped mountains they find a Pylon. Will wonders why
they would put a pylon so high before using the `doorknob'
to open the pylon,. Holly asks Will to beware of the
Skylons. Will surmises that they must have put it way up
here for a reason.
05:16 Will makes lightning occur accidentally. Will says
there is a matrix similar to Enik's, the one that controls
the Time Doorway.
05:46 Will has caused a glowing green Time Doorway in the
sky. A bright red shimmering light comes from it. Will
notices that it is just like the river and goes all the way
around.
06:17 A parachute descends from the sky. Will surmises that
this is a time doorway. Will believes they can go home, but
Holly wonders how they can get as high as Time Doorway.
07:04 Will finds a white parachute on the ground along with
an orange duffle bag.
07:14 The man in the parachute is up a tree being harassed
by Spot (the Celophysis, Not a compsognathus) . He appears
to be tangled up with a smaller red and white striped
parachute. He has white goggles hanging around his neck.
Will mentions that it is omnivorous. He introduces himself
as Beauregard Jackson of Fort Worth, Texas. He is dressed in
a bright red jumpsuit, yellow boots and matching red helmet.
Will mentions that they will be able to get back to High
Bluff before dark.
08:22 The Time Doorway still floats across the sky.
08:41 Rick in the cave over the fire pit is cutting potatoes
with a stainless steel kitchen knife. He cuts them into
slices over a steel camping pot with a wooden spoon sticking
out of it. It sits on the camping grating over the
rock-lined fire pit.
08:47 Will asks the Will and Holly if they brought home
anything edible. Apparently they were on a search for food.
09:05 Beauregard mentions that "Mission Control" won't be
too happy with his accident. Rick tries to explain the Land
of the Lost to him. "The nearest telephone is light years
away. This is another world, a closed universe. Uh, it's not
quite like Earth. I mean this place is filled with dinosaurs
and monkey-like people that we call Pakuni. In fact it was
built by the ancestors of some giant insect-like creatures
that we call Sleestaks."
09:46 Will and Rick use the flyswatter on Grumpy (the
Tyrannosaur) .
10:10 The bamboo table with three placemats, silverware
settings and three gourd-bowls is already laid out.
10:22 A large moon is over high bluff.
10:27 Beauregard Jackson tells his story. "So there I was
making reentry over Ecuador. The plasma field was building
up over the heat shields so I couldn't see too much of what
was going on." Will mentions that he has never heard of a
glider like that. Beauregard Jackson tells Will that it was
a Hypersonic Glider, the same as he's been flying for the
past six years between Phoenix Port and Space Station 5.
Holly calls it a spaceship and Beauregard Jackson corrects
her by telling her that it's not a real spaceship because
the gliders don't go to other planets like the Pulse Ships,
but they are fun to fly and safe enough. He says that
something cut the tail off of his glider. Next thing he knew
he was hanging from his parachute in that tree. He remembers
that there is a radio in his glider, but it wouldn't do him
much good here.
11:16 When Will explains to Beauregard Jackson about Enik,
he doesn't understand that Enik is not human (indicating
that in his time no aliens have been discovered). Will
explains that Enik was one of the people who helped build
this place. He got trapped here when he fell through one of
the time doorways. When Beauregard Jackson asks if Enik ever
got out, Rick says that they never found out.
11:22 Will thinks that the pylons have something to do with
the time doorways. There's so many of them and each one
seems to lead to a different world or different time (Will
passes a guilty look to Holly). Will tells Beauregard
Jackson that he must be from the future because they don't
have any space shuttles yet.
11:53 Rick thinks he has an extra blanket for Beauregard
Jackson.
12:10 Will mentions that he doesn't think that he has every
heard it so windy.
12:23 Beauregard Jackson asks what the green glowing Time
Doorway is. Rick has never seen it before. Will admits he
was touching some of the crystals on the matrix tables
trying to open a time doorway home. He didn't want to close
it because he thought it would make it worse.
13:09 Rick asks if Will remembers the crystals that he
touched to open to doorway. Since Will does, Rick thinks
this might be enough information to undo the damage.
Beauregard Jackson surmises that since the green glowing
doorway is the one he came through, they might be able to go
back through it. Beauregard Jackson asks if Rick minds
coming back about twenty years after they started and Ricks
says that they don't mind, they just want to get back.
13:24 Rick says the time doorway is 50-60 meters up and
there are a lot of hills around here that are a lot higher.
Maybe they could jump into it.
13:43 Beauregard Jackson says that there are things they are
going to need from his survival kit. Monofilament line,
binoculars, parachute. He spends a half our rolling up his
parachute. Beauregard Jackson asks the Marshalls if they
notice the wind. His glider was 15 miles up and still moving
at a half a mile a second when that thing grabbed me. If the
other side of the gateway is still moving through the
earth's atmosphere, 15 miles up , ½ mile a second. That's
where the wind is coming from because it's moving. Once he
goes through the gate he can freefall all the way down to
where he can breathe the air, but after that he's still
going need his parachute. He is wearing his large grey
parachute harness (though there still is a white parachute
behind his orange survival kit).
14:22 Rick points out that the Marshals don't have
parachutes, but Beauregard Jackson says that once he gets
through and he gets back to a ship he promises he will come
back for them.
14:40 They all climb the mountain again to the pylon there.
Will warns Beauregard Jackson not to touch anything in the
pylon, but Beauregard Jackson says that eventually they will
have to because that gateway doesn't go near any high points
except one and that's a long way away. But maybe it does
pass close enough. Beauregard Jackson uses his binoculars to
look. He gives the binoculars to Rick who says that's it's
one thing to know about it but seeing it… When Will looks
through the binoculars he exclaims "It's like the river".
Finally Holly looks through the binoculars where she sees
the backs of the Marshals and Beauregard Jackson. Holly
exclaims "It's us! It's us on that hill. That hill is this
hill isn't it?". Beauregard Jackson "It's like looking all
the way around the world". Rick says "I told you this is
like a small, closed universe." Rick takes Beauregard
Jackson aside and says that he is not going to be able to
help them. But Beauregard Jackson says that he can fly a
glider through that gateway, it'll be just like docking at a
space station." Rick explains that the other side of that
doorway is moving. The winds pouring through it right into
our side. And at a half mile per second, nobody can dock
with that. If we don't close that doorway, sooner or later
that winds gonna turn into a hurricane. And it won't start
rising, until all of the air in this valley is moving at a
half a mile per second.
16:29 Holly sees Skylons in the air. She explains that they
are friendly sometimes. We had a problem with the weather
once and they told us how to fix it. Rick elaborates that
they are kind of living machines, there the watchdog over
the environment. They are signaling "green yellow red blue
yellow red". Rick notes that it is a long sequenced of
colors. He goes into the pylon to try it. Beauregard Jackson
notes that it is bigger on the inside than it is on the
outside. Rick says that is something else they haven't been
able to figure out yet.
17:18 Rick tries the colors on the matrix table. "Green,
Yellow, Red. Blue,, Yellow, Red. Red, Yellow, Red.". Will
and Holly says that something is happened to the wind and
that the Skylons are still flashing. Will says that the
sequence is now "Green, Yellow, Green. Blue, Yellow, Greed.
Red, Yellow, Green." Rick tries to repeat it. "Green Yellow,
Green. Blue, Yellow, Greed. Red, Yellow, Green.". Holly says
that this is making it worse. Will and Holly come into the
pylon and tell him that the Shimmer is still there and that
the gateway is still open. Beauregard Jackson wonders what's
wrong because "I thought you said they control the weather?"
Rick realizes that the Skylons have nothing to do with the
time doorways. They are telling them how to stop the natural
wind – but since it's not a natural wind so their signals
just made it worse.
18:45 Holly watches a Skylon go right through the gateway.
The wind starts to build up again. Rick says that there is
nothing anyone can do as long as that one and only time
doorway is acting as a giant hurricane. They're going to
have to slow or shut it down. Beauregard Jackson notes that
they'd be cutting off his only way out. He will only have
one chance to make it through while they experiment in
shutting down the doorway.
19:56 Rick experiments with the matrix table and causes
lightning. Some more twists and the shimmer takes off "like
a bat out of Philadelphia" . Beauregard Jackson asks Rick to
slow it down and see if he can make it turn. Rick seems to
be managing that. Beauregard Jackson asks him to angle it
towards the ground and try to level it off some. It's rising
a little." Rick still hasn't made it turn yet and it is
still too far away. Rick finally succeeds in making a right
turn, which sends it into the cliff below them, shaking them
all. It came right outside of the mountain below them. Rick
has made it turn right, but now he has to turn left, but
Rick isn't sure he can remember how to do it.
21:15 The Shimmer is coming right at them now. The wind is
also less know. Rick must have slowed it down. But the
shimmer is coming right down their throats. Beauregard
Jackson tells Rick to get his kids out of there. The
Marshalls retreat down the mountain and duck behind some
rocks while the shimmer goes right to the cliff and
Beauregard Jackson jumps into it.
22:04 The wind immediately stops. Will wonders if he made
it, but Rick says they'll never know. The gateway is gone
and it destroyed the pylon. He guess they will never be able
to open up that gateway again. Will says they'll just have
to find another pylon, but Rick admonishes him, that if he
ever catches him fooling around with another pylon.....they'
re be no television for a week.
