OctaviusBeaver posted:So this is really nitpicky but since we already discussed plot holes a little, I had never noticed this: It is a little bit of a plot hole but I think that’s just because K. A. was still working out the rules of morphing in this book. It’s like when minor stuff changes from the pilot of a tv show. Another example is Jake being able to thought-speak to Tobias our of morph, which as far as I know doesn’t happen again in this book or series.

The Mighty Moltres posted:For those who don't know or remember, each book had a page-flip animation in the bottom right corner, of the narrator morphing. It was always fun to flip through the book when you first got it to watch the morph happen but after that these always vaguely annoyed me as a kid because they show a smooth transitional morph and that is not accurate to the books at all.

When the kids were feeding fish to the dolphins...could they have acquired the fish’s DNA? I read these as a kid and I can’t remember if they ever absorb DNA from a dead animal. Does the animal have to be alive to acquire it? I don’t think it’s ever addressed.

I only watched a couple of the tv show episodes because I realized it was hot garbage but one thing I thought was cool is that Shawn Ashmore, who played Jake, has an actual identical twin brother irl so when they did this book on the show they had the twins act as Jake and Ax-in-Jake-morph rather than using camera trickery.

I thought it was strange at first that Ax would be so surprised by the alarm bell going off at school. I assumed there would be alarms of all sort on an Andalite Dome ship. But I re-read the prologue and at no point - not through coming out of Z-space, or ambushed by Yeerks, being attacked or detaching the Dome - does it ever mention alarms going off, just shouted orders and thought-speech announcements. We know Andalites have ears but I never thought about how a telepathic species would relate to various sounds. Pretty cool detail, which I think was mostly for comic relief.

quote:We’d called a meeting, and now everyone except Ax was in Cassie’s barn. Has anyone else noticed this editing error? In every book we get an introduction to Cassie’s barn but sometimes it’s called the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center (Book3, MM, and here in Book 10) and sometimes it called the Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic (books 1,2,4,5,6,7 and 9, I couldn’t find it mentioned by Ax in book 8 though). Glad you’re feeling better Epicurius, it’s good having this thread moving again! I loved this series as a kid and still have my original full set of books. It’s fun revisiting them!

Two things that struck me in this chapter: 1) Aren’t they be in their morphing outfits? I was weirded out by the mental image of Jake walking through the Amazon rainforest barefoot in bike shorts and a tight t-shirt but the narrative just glossed over it. If I were him I would have morphed tiger as soon as I realized I was in a jungle. 2) why did Cassie tear her shirt to make a bandage for a cut on her hand? She could have just quickly morphed anything and demorphed to heal herself. And she should know this.

I feel bad for Tobias in the new timeline. He discovered the crashed bug fighter, did the recon, got the whole team together....just for Jake to say, “nah let’s not”.
