I think I might be the only New Yorker that says the word "dude" at all. :P

Personally, I like MM4 the best. 3 was good, but I prefer the slightly more lighthearted nature of 4.

Lighthearted?  That was the one where everyone died brutally in a Job-esque scenario, and the character dynamics we'd grown to love had no reason to exist so everyone was driven apart as a natural consequence before aliens attacked and vaporized a ton of innocent people.

All that is true, but you're forgetting one thing. Ax eats Oreos, and that automatically makes this book comedy gold.

MM3 had too much action and not enough plot for me. Then again, I s'pose 4 had a lot too...
yeah

You've ALL clearly forgotten the part in MM2 where they MORPH DINOSAURS.  That tops everything.

I'm with Dino on this one. But the question is: did they morph predator dinosaurs or scavengers? ;)

Rachel and Tobias might have morphed scavengers.  I can only assume that is what you were referring to.

Yeah. But they only morphed two types of dinosaurs. If I went back in time, I'd be acquiring every thing I see.

Are you sure the others didn't morph scavengers? :P

Oh heck definitely.  But, keep in mind, the Animorphs had a pretty good track record of not acquiring every thing they see, which let's face it is really what any sensible person with morphing abilities should do all the time everywhere.  :P

And don't forget, they didn't get to keep the morphs

What, and just deus-ex-machina the crap out of the entire rest of the series?  I, for one, am glad they didn't do that.  :P

Oh, wait, you mean when they morphed dolphins?  Nah, I'm pretty sure dolphins are predators, but I understand the confusion.  Common mistake.  ;)

Holy ****. What a sendoff to a great series, I gotta say. There's really nothing I can add to your analysis of this book, since you pretty much covered all the bases that I can think of. The character vignettes were a great addition, too. I'll admit, I almost cried a little bit when this ended. No more checking my email to see a new OABG is up. No more waiting to see your insight on this series that I love so much. No more waiting for you to say that Cassie is a moron or tell us that Visser Three is always there. It's a little heartbreaking, but personally, I don't think that you could have ended it any better.

Greg, I'd just like to say, thank you for making the OABG. It may not seem like much, but the book and episode guides inspired me to make my own Animorphs parody series (and for that matter, I know I've said it multiple times, but I seriously cannot thank you enough for guest starring in it), and every time I saw a new episode, if just made my ****ing day. You're seriously the man.

May I now demorph?
