CHUNK THE FOURTH: Last one I promise Okay now I'm just going through my notes...yes I take notes djmp...lol there are SO MANY INCONSISTENCIES here I will just name a few:
All right so the Dome connects to a shaft that is the main part of the ship, right? And they can detach, like the saucer section can detach from the battle bridge of the Enterprise D. It would make the most sense for the Dome to connect at the center, right? BUT THERE'S A FUCKING LAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOME. So how do they get from the Dome to the ship?
...is this too pedantic? Hold on let me find something else.
I just don't buy this: "We would have defeated the Pool Ship and its fighters. But there was a Blade Ship in orbit as well." xii Okay, let me remind you of the scale we're dealing with here. I drew this from the description in #5:
Now, the tentacles on the Pool Ship are a quarter mile, so there's our scale. Dome Ships are between 1/3 of a mile and 1/2 mile across. So a Blade Ship making a difference in that fight is like half a David versus two Goliaths to me. I don't know that I buy it.
Ooh here's one: "We had shoved the Taxxons and the badly wounded Hork-Bajir into the cargo hold of the ship." 77 Wow, there's some fresh, live Hork-Bajir DNA you could have acquired and avoided getting anyone stuck in Taxxon morph.
Idk just stuff like this too: "I felt sick down to my bones" 98 He says this while in Taxxon morph. It is my understanding that Taxxons have no bones. Especially since, four pages later, he says "I heard bones growing inside of me." 102 lol
LOL IK I'M BEING VERY PEDANTIC but you have to be critical to find this good stuff too :')
Okay I have a project in mind now: The lifetime of the Time Matrix.
"It had been hidden on the planet called Earth. It had been buried deep in the ground in a desolate-looking area of blowing sand. And a huge stone pyramid had been raised over it." 57 So it sits there for a while.
Shit I can't find when (or if) the Ellimist makes it in the Ellimist Chronicles...but I think he...no...I really should look harder...I really don't think he does. I read the part where he makes the Pemalites and he doesn't mention giving it to them...whatever let's just start our timelines from the pyramids
I think it's safe to assume that the Chee put it there. I have no idea what book it is but I'm about 80% sure Erek says at one point that he worked on the pyramids.
So Elfangor and co. take it out, use it, and then he buries it at the future site of his death...
...The Animorphs chase Visser Four around and then undo his timeline, so it ends up back at the construction site because technically it was never used, and that's where it died, right? I mean not DIED but that's where it was at the end of the series, right? That issue doesn't get any closure, does it?
that was a lot less cool than I thought it would be. Whatever. Let me just flip through the rest of my notes real quick...
Oh I really like this line: <Aren't lost causes sometimes the best causes, Elfangor?> 154 ILU ARBRON
idk I think I really picked everything out of this book.
I'll shut up now. I think I'll need a week off. 14 is pretty innocuous anyway.
