Yeah this is true; I think this is one of the biggest 'suspension of disbelief' points.

How would you even get from the ear to the brain anyway?  You'd have to go through a nerve or something.

I'm not sure, but she needed some way for a Yeerk to get into the brain. The ear seems pretty plausable for kids that don't know enough about anatomy.

Unless I'm mistaken, people use to think that's how earwigs use to get to your brain, but not to wrap around it, but to eat it.  Of course, that's been proven false. . . .

Well, she could have made them go through the nose, but then you'd have to worry about snot in your brain.
Besides, don't the Yeerks drill through something at some point? *Hasn't studied human anatomy in ages*

They don't want to kill him. If they do, he would be replaced by someone more clever, like Visser One. It didn't take her long at all to figure out they were Human.

On the other hand, Visser One is the one pushing for a covert infestation. In a way she would be more dangerous, but on the other hand she can't morph. She also doesn't want to go out in the open with the war.

Better the enemy you know, than the one you don't. Therefore, they don't try too hard to kill Visser Three.

Not to mention the inability to cope Marco may have with fighting his mom.

I think they mention at one point that they kind of move things around. So maybe they're able to push things to the side, and then move them back afterwards?

Heh, when you think about it, Yeerks are really wonders of evolution, aren't they? I wonder how that went...
