Mind-Blowing Logical Inconsistencies in Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's Secret

[EscafilDevice]

You would think SOMEONE would think to use the TM to bring Rachel back. Tobias, Cassie, Jake, anyone.

My official theory is that Cassie uses it right as Jake crashes the ship into The One and they sort of get a reset.

I mean, it IS canon-compliant.

Maybe they did, but somehow they affected the timeline in a bad way and they/Ellimist had to set it right. Or maybe they just didn't want to mess around with super-high-tech quasi-divine technology. Or maybe they never considered it. Or maybe Ellimist somehow secured the TM after MM3.

That was once my belief as to why Cassie was left behind.

[Estelore]

As a tyke reading #54, I speculated that Ellimist could've at some point made a nonlive clone of Rachel, a genetic body double, and then replaced real-Rachel with the clone at the moment of her death, causing the double to be found drifting in space and enabling her to stay alive. If she had been put into stasis or simply pulled outside the timeline, it would justify her conversation with Ellimist and the piece-of-spacetime-coiling-and-going-dark bit. Maybe she's "on reserve" for a nasty situation later?

I watch too much Doctor Who. *wince*

[Galladerotom]

Butterfly effect: another host would most likley have another identity that wouldn't allow the time matrix to be discovered.

By the way they need to destroy it some how it is far to dangerous.

[Chad32]

I believe it's stated that it can't be destroyed.

didn't someone make a Fanfic of everyone on the Blade Ship dying when they collide with the One, and then Cassie using the Time Matrix to bring them all back?

[Adrian Malacoda]

Correct. It can't be destroyed, or else Elfangor would have done so. He hid it because it was the best he could do.

I really think it's within the bounds of Ellimist's power to somehow prevent people from using the matrix. Maybe seal it within a block of unobtainium or something. I mean, he and Crayak were working together to retrieve the thing, so Ellimist logically wouldn't be bound by the rules of his game in that regard.

Haven't seen it, but the premise of "One Least Likely" is that Cassie brings David back using the Time Matrix. It isn't as awesome as I thought it was when I first read it - it's kind of evolved into something with an elaborate sub-plot with elaborate OC's I don't really care about - but I think people should read it. It's one of, if not the longest Animorphs fanfics out there.

[voodooqueen126]

one least likely-started off interesting but is basically going nowhere.
That whole book was dumb:
Killing George Washington would make jack difference he was just a general who could've easily been replaced, if you wanted to get rid of freedom and all the thing that george washington fought  for you would have to kill:
Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Rousseau and Thomas Paine.
Or if you wanted to make it really easy for yourself and keep Earth in the middle ages you could just kill martin luther in his cradle, according to Max Weber Europe would never have developed without him.

[Chad32]

How is Martin Luther any more important to Europe than Washington is to America?

[EscafilDevice]

Loads more, actually.

German and Scandinavian rulers adopted Lutheranism to consolidate their own power. It changed the balance of power in Europe. The Pope controls significantly less land than he used to and he doesn't lead armies into battle anymore.

Among many other things, obviously.

Washington's only notable achievement outside of war was surrendering the presidency after two terms.

[voodooqueen126]

It"s more than the Pope losing his power though this was significant and useful to the human race.
Whilst I hate to offend, Max Weber called it the Protestant Work Ethic, basically Martin Luther=Enlightenment=Industrial Revolution.
History is not about battles, but ideas.

[Tim Bruening]

I propose dumping the Time Matrix in the sun!

[Dylan]

But the time matrix is indestructible. Dumping it into the sun won't help.
