Character discussion: Erek

Late post is late. I somehow forgot last night :(

I'm still fascinated by the holographic stuff with the Chee, and how they can hologram the feel of skin.

I can see some debate over the whole nonviolence thing...I've heard some fans say that giving info still is fighting, or facilitating violence...IDK myself. What do you think?

But I am contesting your assertion that the Chee are "on the side of good" because I don't think any character or group of characters in this series is that clear-cut in terms of morality. For "good" people the Chee do some terrible things, like locking up the Yeerks in their heads, or allowing Rachel to die (because if Erek hadn't drained power from the Pool Ship's weapons, the Blade Ship disaster would not have occurred.)

I will agree with that- I say "good" in loose terms for lack of a better one. I guess...Chaotic Lawful Good with the Chee? I dunno.

I also had forgotten that Erek had drained the weapons of power- it's been a while since i read the last 5 books. ><;
