Series re-read #44 The Unexpected

The Yeerks are transporting pieces of a crashed blade ship somewhere. The Animorphs want to get the scraps and show them to the world. But a string of bad decisions leaves Cassie stuck on board a plane. It's going to someplace with the letters SYD, but she doesn't know until after she lands where that's at. The controllers catch onto her and in the fight, she ends up bailing out. Now she's alone, in the middle of the Australian outback. And Visser Three is there too.

I know this one is gonna get dumped on, because of the last time around LOL.

I don't like the whole isolating a single character for the whole book thing. It doesn't do much for me not having the whole group involved in the adventure.

And according to one of our Australian fans, there are some not-so-good Aussie depictions or stereotypes in the whole thing.

At least next week's is a book I enjoy a little more.

That Whale Wars show just got a helluva lot more interesting.

the episode where Aftran confronts Cassie on her cheatin' ways will be the two-hour season finale

...There's a Whale Wars show?

It would be like Jerry Springer. With whales!

Whale Wars! (http://animal.discovery.com/tv/whale-wars/)

I bet you anything Cassie breaks up with that guy she hooks up with in 54 and finds Aftran, because Aftran will understand her. He can show up on the boat near the end of another season.

It's alright /pats

And fffffffff "are you willing to risk your life for whales!" You know, I think you are indeed correct. Clearly Whale!Cassie and Whale!Aftran need to be in this show. Or, perhaps Cassie has in fact been having an affair with Aftran the whole time. In fact, Aftran and Cassie have probably been having a tumultuous on-and-off-again secret relationship ever since Aftran sailed off into the seas...

All those solo Cassie books?

Lies. She totally roofied the others and told them later that they had some sort of alien disease/field trip to the Hork Bajir homeworld/whatthefuckever.She was off with Aftran the whole time.

"I missed you too, Jake!"

LIES. >:O

This is clearly the truth of the whole series. Really, all of her moralising was just a concentrated attempt to hide her own wicked, wicked ways!

You know, the best part is that I can totally see this happening, too.

We should all be glad that Edriss never infested Cassie.

Jerry Springer. With whales!

You keep mentioning these things that don't exist, and it hurts my heart that they don't. Damn you with your hilarious scenarios!

...Perhaps I could attempt to draw it? (although you know that stick figures and not-very-good-drawing skills would be involved, as you cans see from above...)

[identity profile] almighty-patsy.livejournal.com 2010-06-01 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
You know what the answer is. (I'm trying to think of some way this whale Jerry Springer could be crossover-y. So far I just have the white whale and Monstro...)

I am compelled to fly to Australia from the US east coast. I think we shall swing by Great Britain first.

IT IS LOGICAL TO ME, AND MY EDITORS FIND MY LOGIC SOUND.
