Things you expected the Animorphs- and others- to say...

[Andalite_Shorm]

There's been times throughout the books when I expected the Animorphs to say something at a certain situation but whatever it was was never said.
Has anyone else ever had those?

I think my most memrobly one was in book 34 when the Arn said, "You have many interesting langauges but your biology is not at all remarkble, I'm afraid. Two arms, two legs, a most unstable platform. And entirely lacking in physical innovation: simple bilateral symmetry for the most part." Despite Ax's hate of the Arn, when I turned the page to see someone's reply I expected it to be Ax saying "Tell me about it..." or something 
There were many Rachel moments when I expected her to give comments on whatever but they never happened.

Anyone else get this or...?

Not trying to shoot you down, but we kind of all ready explore this in the Things They'd Never Say thread. The idea being that some of those are things most of us would have said or believe we'd say when we first read the scenes the first time around.

Sort of like, "Why did the Arn needed to go all the way to Earth to clone a new army of free Hork-Bajir when he lived on the home planet where he had plenty to choose from. It's like driving to some obscure shop in Southern California for a bottle of Vermont Maple Syrup when you live in Vermont on your very own maple syrup farm."

All the HB on the homeplanet were under the control of the Yeerks.  It could be that the Arn thought it was easier to deal with free HB than enslaved HB.

Hmm, this thread is similar to the 'things they would never say' thread, but I must note that it isn't quite the same.

I actually have an example that I was looking to post somewhere, but couldn't quite post it in ttwns because it is TOTALLY a thing that would be said.

Ax: <Let me see if I understand this correctly.  You humans all have a machine, in your homes, whose sole purpose is to make your artificial skins wet.  But then, next to that machine, in the same room, is another machine, whose sole purpose is to make your artificial skins dry again?  Humans!>
