Title: Paradox
Post by: kamikaze on November 16, 2008, 09:17:26 PM
:o   I've noticed something very strange: In the absolutely
 
FIRST boook, Jake talks to Tobias in thought-speak without being in a morph, and yat, later it's

stated that thought-speak is only possible in morph... I do not get it. Which is true, the fact

stated in the first book, or the ones stated in all the others?

The simple answer, a KASU (KA screw up)

more detailed answer: at first KA was gonna make thought-speaking possible in human form, but later changed her mind and forgot to edit that part.

u mean this part?


<I did not know I could send thoughts like this,> Tobias said. <Just like the Andalite.>
"I guess it only works when you're . . . morphed."
I am talking to a cat! I realized. And I thought Tobias was crazy?
I wondered if Tobias had heard my thought. I concentrated. Tobias, can you hear me?
<Yeah,> he said. <I hear you.>
"Did you hear my thoughts before that?" I asked.
<No. I don't think it works that way. You have to think at me for me to hear.

Yeah it was just a KASU (Katherine Applegate Screw Up). Basically she just changed her mind about it in later books.

Welcome to RAF by the way. Feel free to introduce yourself in the Introductions board!  :)

Ok, to use this topi, how are these for a Paradox:
Did Jake save Cassie or the World, in a choice that made the mysterious aliens at the end of The Familiar say [...Interesting choice...]?!
Did Rachel kill or not kill David/rat in that final moment of The Return?!
Why would KA opt to leave it to our imaginations to finish these stories?

Yeah, it kinda sucks D:

I'd like to think that he saved Cassie though, and Rachel ended up putting David out of his misery XD

Welcome to RAF btw! :)

I think Rachel killed David. But she (Rachel) couldn't write it. ;)
And about the choice of Jake. Don't know but I think he'd save Cassie. Love love love... make people stupid ;)
And Katherine does that to let us write more fanfictions and become good writers for the next children ^^

You gotta thank the writers for these forgotten things and screw ups. There is so much material for whoever wants to pick up the series, huh?!
We should do a list of open plots that were left hanging in the series...

Yeah! Reckon he would have better chances at surviving than Homer. I always think about those two.
