What was that?
« on: March 29, 2010, 01:27:33 AM »
I forget which book this is, but it's the one where Jake wakes up as an adult in a world where yeerks have taken over. My question is, how did he get there? And how does he get back to his own timeline? It doesn't seem to be the workings of Crayak or the Ellimist, rather some other all powerful being. In all caps there is something that says INTERESTING REACTION. WE WILL CONTINUE THIS STUDY. Or something to that effect. But what in the world was that?

It must have been Q. That's something he'd do, right? Either that, or Jake's on something very strong...

KA said it wasn't, and we have no evidence that it was, so it wasn't the One. But if you write a fanfic where it is the One, I don't think many people will flame you for it.

When/where'd she say that? I'm not doubting it (I didn't think it was him anyway XD) but I want to know what I missed.

coincidentally, i'm reading that book as we speak.

i have no answers for you. looks like another job by katmike to create a potential plot-twister for later... that never panned out.

thank goodness. how many ultimate beings does one series need? D: i call it a fluke.

you know, in my own way, i see this as being some weird skrit na experiment; little green men kidnapping jake and inducing some weird alternate universe scenario-dream... clearly, this isn't. but it amuses me to think it might be. ;)

Yeah, drugs, that the answer to everything! Marco probably slipped some acid into Jake's dinner just to be funny.

She didn't specifically say that the One wasn't the voice in the Familiar.  What she did say was that the One was a completely new character, and was not part of the backstory.

Ok, yeah that's what she said. i kind of wish it was the Skrit na. They don't even make an appearance in the main books, do they?

XD I had never even thought of it being the Skrit Na.

To tell you the truth, in my head the voice was pretty much God. A voice both male and female commenting on the nature of Jake's moral choice that induces a scenario where he'd have to make one? It just seemed like the kind of thing the guy would do to test Jake's mettle as a leader. But this is coming from a person who thinks of there being a God. : )

I loved that book, if only because I love even twisted acid trip dream dystopias. It sounded a lot like any number of dreams I've had in the past actually, except more detailed. XD

haha, well.... i figure that an omniscient god wouldn't test jake looking for a reaction; he'd already know what it would be. ^^ so...

that, AND katmike tend to stay away from most religious references... i mean, for all that strict atheists/confused agnostics aren't all THAT common, the animorphs were. O___o

Good point, although I figure it'd be a test for Jake and less an experiment the creature didn't know the outcome of. But then again it did say "Interesting choice," which brings the omniscience of interdimensional beings into question anyway. Ohhh Katmike, you create such conundrums with your unanswered questions! XD
