"Oh, my God. What is this, Jurassic Park?"

It's been ages since I read this particular book, but I was surprised that I remembered it pretty well. The story is actually a lot simpler than the other Megamorphs books when you think about it. I think if it wasn't for Rachel and Tobias being split off from the group, it could've easily been a regular book. I still think of the Mercora whenever I see broccoli--anyone else? Also, what do you think happened to the Nesk, seeing as they left Earth to be annihilated? Do you think Tobias was right to make the call about disabling the nuke they gave to the Mercora? Was anyone else kind of disappointed when the Animorphs couldn't use their dino morphs anymore?

And, most importantly--which color cover did you end up with? I'm a crazy person and I actually bought one of each back in the day, plus an additional one that had all of them.


Next time: #19 The Departure--Butterfly in the skyyyyy...

I was thinking about In the Time of the Dinosaurs, when they cook and eat the T-Rex meat. Jake reports it tasted like a mild fish, like swordfish. I got curious, so I googled it to see if anybody had actually thought about it. This speculates it would taste more like a carnivorous bird such as a hawk. Like...well...Tobias.

tWe could blame everything that happened on Marco. He was the one who heard about the downed submarine. He was the one who thought we should check it out. And everyone knows that if Marco's up to a challenge, I'm definately there.
Everything was going fine until the explosion. An explosion that blows us millions of years back in time. Back to the age of dinosaurs. Now Tobias, Cassie, Marco, Ax, Jake and I are fighting for our lives with every step we take. But that's not our biggest problem. Our biggest problem is that we have no idea how to get back to our own time...

The thing people often remember about this book is the KASU with Tobias's wing it seems.

I can see why Applegate did this one, so many kids like dinosaurs and all that stuff.

I think a couple other fandoms did ideas like the Nesk...like Sanctuary last Friday. Well, sort of.

Does anyone have any comments on how this Sario Rip differed from the one in The Forgotten? They didn't have any of those flashes and they didn't forget this time. Wierd.

The gang tries to help the crew of a nuclear submarine that had an accident. There's an explosion,and another Sario Rip is opened up. When the dust clears, they find themselves amongst dinosaurs and prehistoric aliens.

I can see why KAA did something like this, a lot of kids like dinosaurs, and I can also see how the rip negating the morphs worked out better. Dinosaurs running around would be totally conspicuous. Although a T-rex would be a perfect Rachel morph lol

Sadly I've been thinking and thinking but have been able to generate any good prompts or questions for this one...anyone got any ideas?

Anyone else find the Nesk kinda creepy? Like Marco said about ants being bad whether they're earth ants or alien ones.

Love Ax saying Andalites only use...what was it, fusion? for toys.

This book makes me want to write a crossover with CBS's Dino Squad cartoon lol. I know I'm a little old for cartoons but I can't quit watching. There are similarities to Animorphs which is why...but the teens can only morph one dino each and they aren't fighting aliens, they're fighting a shapeshifting Velociraptor (though he's big enough to make me think 'Utahraptor' actually)

Another thing this reminds me of is Scott Ciencin's Dinoverse...it was about a group of kids who got sent back in time by one kid's science project, only they wound up inside the dinosaur bodies rather than morphing them.

Is it me or was there a conflict between The Forgotten and In The Time of Dinosaurs? How come they forgot the stuff in The Forgotten but seemed to remember the MM 2 sario rip?
