Who is your favorite kid in the Jurassic Park franchise? This is not limited to the movies; it can be the movies, the books, and games (Jurassic Park builder --Kelly). Name which kid of the five (Lex, TIm, Kelly, Arby, or Eric) is your favorite, some likeable character traits, and if it is Lex, Tim, or Kelly, which version of the kid you like best.

I'd say the book version of Tim. He's a dino-nut like me, and half the people here at that, haha

I'm in between Tim and Eric. Lets go with Eric. Frankly, I want to see Tim, Lex, and Eric get stranded in Nublar and have to survive.

I have two favorites - Kelly from the Lost World [i]movie[/i], and Eric from JPIII. I like Kelly's easy-going nature and her ability to conform to a situation. She is loyal to Sarah and Malcolm, she doesn't get in the way or cause trouble like Lex and Tim, and her awesome acrobatic abilities come in handy to injure a raptor and save her dad. I like Eric because of his genuine interest in dinosaurs, his resourcefulness in surviving the horrors of Sorna for eight weeks, and his accumulated knowledge he has gained to help his family survive and save Grant.

@ Rex Fan -- So you prefer TIm older and more mature than Lex. I agree. Tim is too much of a hinderance in the movie. @Delta -- Is that Eric vs. movie Tim, or vs. book Tim?

If the kids were split into teams, which team do you guys think would survive longest on Nublar, if the teams were: Team 1: Eric Team 2: Lex and Tim Team 3: Kelly and Arby

Lex and Tim. They've been there before.

Ok, put them all on another island in the five deaths that no one has been on before. Which team then?

Assuming one of the other islands has dinosaurs too, not sure. It's hard to say. Probably between Lex/Tim and Eric. Kelly and Arby don't know as much about dinosaurs as the others.

I personally think Eric. He has all of Tim's advantages and knowledge, he survived eight weeks without help from anyone, and he doesn't have another person to take care of / get in the way. Why do you say Lex and Tim Delta?

Brother and sister. That combination can do great things. They could look after each other. If a raptor kills Eric, then he's dead, if a raptor kills Tim, then Lex is still there to live longer.

I think the book versions of Lex and Tim would do better. Tim is the one with the smarts and he is more mature. When Lex gets freaked out she tends to listen better. They might just beat Eric. On the other hand, the movie Lex and Tim would be dead quick. Tim is smart, but younger and less capable. Lex is a hacker, but that doesn't get you far in the wild. Plus, without other people helping, besides the kitchen scene, they don't tend to do very well alone. I think Eric is the best bet because he is independent. Yes, take away his supplies and he's in trouble, but he is resourceful.

I'm gonna say Tim for me from both the book and movie versions being how he reminded me as a kid when I was all nut crazy about dinosaurs, still am now of course haha. I also like Lex as well, pretty much Lex and Tim are my only favorites of the JP franchise, probably because they spent time with Dr. Grant and how in the movie version they changed his mind about liking kids or not.

I think Eric because he doesn't have a girl screaming and giving away his hiding position. Plus, he was there the longest and had survival skills

I agree. Eric has the experience and he doesn't have anyone getting in his way. He'd survive the longest.
