The sickest one for me is when Dak and Aldrea wake up and they cant find the canister for the Quatum virus and they find there friend with the lip open.
-
oh man that was a good scene, so tragic
i liked when aldrea found out about the virus and sided with the HB, i dno maybe that was over a few scenes, good stuff tho
-
The climactic battle between Espilin and Aldrea was also good, when Aldrea was almost infested by the soon-to-be Visser Three.
-
that was a good one, it was a great book, another awesome scene is where the yeerks killed aldreas family
-
When Dak says to Aldrea "These are my people. This is my planet..." and the rest of that little speech.
-
The beginning of the battle when Aldrea and Dak attack with the "monsters of the deep". It's in Esplins POV and he sees her coming up from the mist and he talks about how beautiful that image is and how he'll tell her that, when she is his host.
Also, Dak's amazing speech. I can't remember the whole thing but it ends with: "No, we're too simple for that. We're too stupid to lie and manipulate. We're too stupid to be ruthless. We're too stupid to know how to build powerful weapons designed to annihilate our enemies. Until you came, Andalite, we were too stupid to know how to kill."
Oh! and the end of the first big battle where the Hork-Bajir drop from the trees crying out "Do as HE does" and kill for the first time. It's just so epic and horrifying and I get goosebumps every time I read it.
Now I have to go reread HBC...

You thought that was awesome! wow. I thought it was tragic. Awesome doesnt describe how it feels to lose your family. I can still remember Aldrea painfully calling "BARAFIN! BARAFIN!"
Lol....im sorry. That actually was awesome..

Ironically I just started reading this book the other day. Its intense. And i love that speech by Dak. While i was reading it i kept thinking man, how does KA come up with this stuff? With these characters and their amazing rhetoric. Hell, HER rhetoric. She's brilliant and really knows how to move her readers.
Except for that last book. Sorry. But i will forever hate the rushed ending.

told you it was awesome, but more awesome in a terrible chilling kind of way.
-
oh man i forgot about that do as he does scene, that was tragic
seeing a gentle peace lovin race kill because you told them too, and knowing they dont even know what they're doing, ouch
man that whole book was awesome. Aldrea is totally using dak for her own species then they turn around and use her and everyone screws everyone over, and it still ends up being a love story all the way through lol
-
Yeah, I really think that HBC is the most epic of the Chronicles. It's just....amazingly intense.
-
BARAFIN!
Barafin, lol.... I'm sorry, it's just that name...
-
Kind of sounds like "barfing"....
In fact, the first time I read HBC I think I thought that's what it was.
-
its not funny he died!
but his name is funny.
I thought seerow was an idiot but thats just me.

I agree. :)

I liked seeing Aldrea's opinions of Dak (and the Hork-Bajir as a whole) change as the story progressed. Originally she was only interested in Dak for his impressive (for a Hork-Bajir) intelligence, but as it goes on she starts to respect him more and treat him as an equal. I especially like the scene where she decides to go against her own people by stopping the virus.
In hindsight Seerow seems like an idiot, but hindsight makes everybody look stupid. At the time, he was simply helping a less fortunate species. That's not much different from humans looking after animals. He was a man of peace, and the Yeerks took advantage of his kind nature. I think it's a rather accurate parallel of real life, the way that nice people are often taken advantage of.

Why couldn't the Andalites develop a "Quantum" virus that would kill Yeerks, and ONLY Yeerks? After all, the Andalites would have had plenty of opportunity to collect Yeerk DNA samples during the years they were studying the Yeerks before their big breakout!
IIRC, the Andalites blockaded the Yeerk homeworld after the big breakout. They could have landed personnel on the Yeerk homeworld to collect DNA samples.
