The many unresolved "loose ends" of Animorphs...

[dolphin4077]

I want to know what happened to Alloran after the war.  What was the reunion like with his wife and kids?

[Kitulean]

All of these things, such as never seeing Tobias tell the others about his family, not seeing what happened to Alloran, not getting answers to half the questions raised leads me to the conclusion that as good as Animorphs was at setting things up, it was terrible at resolving them.

Maybe if more time had been put toward resolving unanswered questions and less toward how best to destroy every relationship, accomplishment (other than ending the war), and goal in the series, that wouldn't have happened.

I would have liked to see what everyone thought of Alloran too. His wife and whatever family he had. All the soldiers who had seen his face and had been told that this guy was Visser Three. You just know he would walk into a room, and any soldier who had seen Visser Three would flinch.

KA was great at coming up with an idea, but bad at resolving it.

I really want to know how Tobias told the others. I imagine they were all shocked!

-What ever came of the Hork-Bajir colony?  It was NEVER mentioned again, was it?
-What was Jake’s decision at the end of #41?  (INTERESTING CHOICE…)
-What did Rachel do with David the rat? (“I’m one of the good guys.”)
-What ever came of the Iskoort?  Why were they never mentioned again?  Their existence proved so huge to the Animorphs, but nothing ever came of it.

Also, can anyone explain why Cassie said “Thanks, James,” when a red-tailed hawk flew by the train in Ax’s last book?  Was that a mistake or did she recruit him to pose as a hawk to spy on Ax?
K.A  MUST have been pressured to get those last few books done quickly.  I hadn’t realized just how many unanswered questions there were.

I can answer your first question it mentions in the last book that the Hork-Bajir were given refuge at Yellowstone Park (I know cheesy). That's also where Jake asks Cassie about the suicidal rescue mission.

[Chad32]

You know James has a Red Tailed Hawk morph, right? I think he swooped by to help out some way, then flew off to help elsewhere, and Cassie said thanks. Ax thought it was Tobias, and questioned to himself why Tobias came by and didn't say anything. Then Cassie mentioned James.

Why was that red tailed hawk James instead of Tobias? 

[adamjared]

The One was definitely the biggest unresolved plot point for me.  Him, and the Kelbrid race.  I think that book would have been so much more meaningful if its cliffhanger had been a face-off against some known enemy.  Bringing in new baddies right before the end just feels . . . anticlimactic.  You know?  KA could have at least given us more than simply the name "Kelbrid" and a brief look at the One.

I've never bought the idea that the One had anything to do with Ellimist and Crayak's game.  If he did, don't you think he would have had a stronger influence on them before this?  Besides just a (possible) mention in #41 (if that was even him)?

Lol, nice pic, anijen.

WHO were the Ellimist's Andalite descendants? Was this important?

To be honest, I've never even thought about the fruits of the Ellimist's stay on the Andalite homeworld.  But that is a very interesting question.  I'd be willing to put some money down that Elfangor, Ax, and Seerow were all part of the Ellimist's bloodline.  Which would explain why he had such an interest in Elfangor, Tobias, and Jara Hamee and his family (who is descended from Seerow, let's not forget).

Somebody needs to write a fanfic about this.

Well, I sorta did/am doing that... I'll find the link then put it here.

I don't know. I believe it ties in with the current plot/subplot, but I don't remember the book too well.

[Elfangor Sirinial Shamtul]

omg! i have got to read that story! thanx peepos!

[Azguard]

I too have never thought of the One as anything to do with Crayak or Ellimist. I thought maybe the One was another powerful single entity who is somehow allied with the Kelbrid.

BTW, wouldn't it be interesting if somehow, the Crayak began as a parasitic species?

[Chad32]

That would seem like overdoing it, I think.

[Gumby]

Also, how effective was the arn made Hork-bajir resistance in book 34?

[Chad32]

That's a big question for me. What about the resistance? Did Toby just forget about it, or did any of the Earth Horks do anything else about it? Is Earth really a suitable place for a species designed to groom thousand foot tall trees?
