She could have literally just been home with THEIR kids.

But then how would she have the connection to have the military rescue dr. grant and the Kirby’s in Jurassic park 3?

Home with the kids during the adventure in the 3rd movie doesn't mean stay at home mom with no job. Just home instead of helping Alan with the current dinosaur crisis.

I know but how is Ellie supposed to call in a rescue to the island without a military connection?

Here’s my pitch, have Ian be a politician, maybe a congressman or senator, hell, maybe a governor, then when the kid tells mom about dad being “on site B” Ellie calls Ian claiming an emergency and he sends out the call to rescue them

She could work for or with the military. As well as be a mother

I'm in. How do we fix the timeline and make this happen.

Listen. I'm not saying I finished 20,000 words of Grantler fic on Friday. But I'm not NOT saying that.

ETA: a word

Mark is her brother instead of her husband, and he and Alan get along great. Problem solved.

u/Mrwright96 4d ago

That or make Ian a politician (what’s more chaotic than politics, has experience “working”
With “dinosaurs” and let’s be real, the man who stood up to a t-Rex and won is a shoe in for popular vote)

I also accept this answer.

They could have just written a different ending without the military.

The military already was quarantining the island and we know INGEN satellites have been monitoring the island from JP2. So the military launches a rescue mission to get the plane survivors while tracking them to the beach (they already tracked them to the beach in the movie so that isn't really a change).

Or it could be as simple as Ellie calling Hammond who in turn calls the State Department.

Meh. Ellie doesn't strike me as a stay-at-home mom. That said, they could have said that she had recently given birth and wasn't up to fighting dinosaurs.

u/rhuiz92 3d ago

When her son answers the phone, he tells her 'it's the dinosaur man' calling. Doesn't sound like something a kid would call his dad.

This reply is so stupid.
You obviously didn't read what I was replying to.

I KNOW her kid isn't his. This is about how the movie could have kept them together without her being with there on the island with him.
