Dethroning Moment of Suck

[Darth Zakryn]

Two words: Kandrona starvation. He didn't even want to try it.

And then what? What to do with Karen with groups of controllers trying to track her down?

EDIT: Whoops. Just noticed there's a specific thread about this now. Moving my post to there.

I just remembered this last night for some reason

Revealing that the Ellimist "stacked the deck"

That nearly dethroningly sucked the whole series in my eyes

Jake <- Flushing 17,000 unslaved Yeerks

Edit:

Actually, I sympathized with him, and even thought it was completely justified. I also thought he had every right to enjoy it. It's amazing, but I can't really think of a Dethroning Moment of Suck for Jake.

For me that was the most disgusted I ever got with Jake. How many Yeerks in that pool were with the Yeerk Peace Movement? Sure he regrets the decision later but 17,000 unarmed lives were lost on a whim. Do you know how many 17,000 is? 9/11 cost 3000 lives? That's more than 5, 9/11s for a distraction!!

I only wrote the one line (unedited) because for the others nothing stands out quite as much as Jake's decision.

Another Jake moment of suck: The Conspiracy: Jake failing to take advantage of a golden opportunity to free his brother Tom, who was going to be alone with him and his parents for FOUR DAYS!  I gather that the Yeerks were expecting Tom to die, so Jake could have arranged for Tom to be sent to the Hork-Bajir valley for de-Yeerking, and faked his death!  When Tom's leg got broken, the Animorphs did a suck moment when they had the Chee take Tom back to town when they could have had Tom taken to the HB valley, and had the Chee fake a medivac helicopter crash.

Cassie suck: Allowing Tom to take the morphing cube.
