Maybe. If the Yeerks consider themselves already the owners of Earth, then it could make sense.

Of all the things I took from my shattered dreams last night, this is what stands out most clearly to me.

Ax should NOT be teaching Andalites how to roll cigars.

And I'm sorry, but the inside cover of 24 just screams "token black guy to me" Only time, come on. It's just blatant
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I just got my 12 year old niece hooked on reading Animorphs. :)

She was over for the weekend and saw my Andalite chronicle book siting on the counter. She was instantly interested in the cool looking creature on the cover. I loaned her book one and she has been going on and on about how much she loves that book and how cool it is and she can't wait to read the next book. LOL :)

... what? what does the inside cover of #24 have to do with cigars?

nevermind morf....

onto the new:
I'm now aware of 4 hanson references in the series.
This is unacceptable
MM2 where Marco suggest altering time to remove hanson from history (which if anyone can do, you have my support)
Suggesting they sing MMM-bop at David's initiation
A guy in 27 wearing a Hanson shirt (what GUY wears a Hanson shirt!?)
And of course the appearance in 35

Why Hanson KAA? I just can't understand.

Maybe she's just a Hanson fan. I don't know who he is, so that's all I've got.

I love Hanson. I'm glad they referenced Hanson. :P


I don't get the Hanson hating. They were a HUGE group at the time the books were being written, and most teenagers were listening to them.. It makes perfect sense.

Christopher Ralph is gradually cementing himself as the image of Tobias in my brain  :-\

I thought he made a great Tobias. I like the looks of show Tobias a lot more then the book description of Tobias!

The show's Tobias doesn't fit the outcast bully magnet that the real Tobias is meant to be. No. I picture him more like my friend Patrick. Short, skinny, and blond.

What only blonds can be bully magnets? ;)

To me the show Tobias did fit the outcast, socially awkward profile if not totally in looks then in the acting

His hair was originally somewhat blond. Not to say only blonds can be bully magnets, but he is supposed to be blond. Or dirty blond. Not black haired.

I noticed that. It's like in the frickin' Harry Potter movies. Harry is black haired and green eyed, while Daniel Radcliffe if BROWN haired and BLUE eyed.
A random thought popped into my head a while back:

The Ellimist smiled, all gravity and grace.

It's weird. I was just thinking about re reading number 40, and that popped into my head. :P

I see a little silhouette of a man SCARAMOUCH SCARAMOUCH will you do the fandango?
You can laugh or you can cry. Personally? I do both. At the same time.
Animorphs: The first 10 were light, funny, still innocent. But slowly, it got darker, more moral, passionate and mature. And then it was messy, bloody. It was chaos. It was the end.
