T-Rex: Utahraptor.
Utahraptor: T-Rex! That's not "in medias res"!!
Utahraptor: In medias res is when you join a story mid-way through, not just before the end! It's Latin for "in the MIDDLE of things"? What you're doing is a different literary technique, known only as "Bad Storytelling".
T-Rex: Oh yeah? Well I've got a literary technique for YOU, my friend! It's called TELLING OFF UTAHRAPTOR!!
