What is Katherine's relationship to Micheal? Siblings?

It's Michael and they're married, lol.

Why do they have different last names, then? Applegate and Grant.

The Michael that the books are dedicated to is actually K.A's husband. Jake (who is later mentioned in all of the books as well) is her son.

Michael's last name isn't actually Grant. That's just a pseudonym he uses for the Gone Series. He did the same thing in Animorphs by using Michael Mates. His real last name is Reynolds. Here's a quote where he explains it himself:

"'Michael Grant' is my pen name for GONE. Michael Reynolds is my actual name. (I've also used Michael Mates, and between us K and I have used a number of other names.) And yes, I am Katherine Applegate's husband and co-author."

Have Marco ever called Jake "Jake the snake" or is it just something in my head?

[morfowt]

I'm quite sure it was just in your head, cuz jake never even morphed a snake...

[Phoenix004]

I can't recall Marco calling him a snake, but he did call him a reptile in #1

I think it was something the Drode said, when Crayak had Rachel. 
That was the most surreal book.  Took me three four times through to understand what happened.

So you mean someone said it?

Isn't he a snake on a book cover?

Nope, that's Marco.

Jake morphs an anaconda in #53 when he visits the Taxxons, and it's on the cover.

Don't recall Marco ever saying that though...

True, I thought they meant when Marco morphed David's cobra.

[morfowt]

oh yeah, I forgot about the anaconda... still I doubt they'd be making jokes like that in the last 2 books...

Hey, you know Marco's mantra, you gotta laugh to keep your sanity.

I was watching Face/Off Part 3, and I was wondering what Marco was saying when he was running around as a ****roach. It's about halfway through in the episode.

Thanks.

Short of watching the episode, I can't seem to find a site that has a script or quotes for that episode. I haven't seen it myself because I didn't like the TV show and stopped watching it. I'm much better with trivia on the books.

How, how, HOW did you manage to stick history, government, and economics (classes I wouldn't go near with a 10ft pole--excluding comaritive politics. That just sounds fun.) into one simple explanation?

And to answer that question: Ax. The Andalite government is kinda...loopie. If you know what I mean by that...Maybe circular would be a better term. And Ax was a big advocate of his people.

I think the Andalite governement, or let's say their whole race is a perfect example of a species who evolved ahead of time, got curious, and started seeking out new life forms and trying to make them as advanced as they were. If a species doesn't have the technology yet, maybe they weren't meant to have it yea..
Who knows, some alien species may have dropped by Earth and given us something that helped us advance, and now look where we are with war and crap. The Andalites shouldn't have given anything to the Yeerks!

What color are Gedds?  Seerowpedia apparently says they're blue, but that doesn't sound right to me, and if anyone can find an actual canon answer, that would be great.  Or just point me to the book you think it might be in, and I can check.
