[Terenia]

Seven parts? Daaang. Top of my to-do list for tomorrow, for sure!

I still come on RAF just to check this thread

Yeah, at the rate of one review a month or so, it will be a few more years before this is complete. So I'll be around at least that long, I hope poparena is too.

Alas, it may be a while before I get to enjoy it. Wish me luck and a brand new laptop.

To play devil's advocate, you could sort of justify Tobias' actions by assuming he truly believed that you couldn't change the timeline by going into the past, and would doom everyone if he didn't make the choices he did. Sort of how Darth Vader is evil but honestly thought he was being the good person. It may be selfish to damn everything on the planet for the reason to "normalize" the timeline, but then again, to go off what Marco says, it's all about survival.

It's not that the idea of Tobias doing this is totally irredeemable from a storytelling standpoint, it's the fact that this should be the biggest weight on Tobias' shoulders through out the entire series, and when he learns first-hand that you can change the timeline in things like Megamorphs #3, he should have a moment of realization of just what he did. But that never happens, it's never brought up again. Tobias is more mournful and depressed over killing a goddamn RABBIT than he is an entire innocent alien race.

Yeah, at the rate of one review a month or so, it will be a few more years before this is complete. So I'll be around at least that long, I hope poparena is too.

Barring computer failure, getting kidnapped by Somali pirates or armageddon, I have no intentions to quit this project until it's completed.

Watched all 7 parts. You are the funniest man alive!

Yay, I love it, even though I wish the book had been better...dinosaurs plus Animorphs?  It was supposed to have been my pre-teen heaven!

I'm glad my little spiel was able to help!

I only recently got into watching these reviews and have literally just caught up. I now officially love these videos and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Despite the fact that you raised some valid points about problems with Megamorphs#2 (and did so in quite a hilarious manner) I'm afraid I still really like that book. What can I say? I'm a sucker for dinosaurs and time travel.

Oh, and it was a surprise to see you in the latest review Tara, nice work.

these are great. If the first two I have listened to are any indication of how the rest are I can't wait.

You can rest assured I will watch this!

Ahh, this makes my day. I check this thread almost daily, so I'm frequently disappointed when there's not an update, but when there is one, it totally makes up for it. I'm also excited because it's book 19, one of my favorites, and because the David trilogy is coming up...

Thanks for the update and I hope you keep making these!

Ever thought of moving your stuff over to blip.tv?

Awesome review!  

This is seriously the best thing about animorphs.  Better then ebooks, better then the reprint.
Having someone seriously dissect the series highlighting its flaws, awesomness, themes and etc is much more beneficial to fans then anything I've experienced so far.  Props to you. Keep it up. :]

cant wait for your review of the David trilogy. Its cool you are going to upload them all at once.
