my name is -
There are things I should have been doing this week. Instead I've been rereading the Animorphs series *points to icon* It's been maybe 15 years since I first got into it, and the rereads have been glorious fun (and somewhat depressing, since I have vague recollections of what's to come for the different characters). I finished #24 this afternoon (just another bloody thirty to go!).
I've also been building a list of Questions that canon has left unanswered, and more general 'huh' moments. They may be answered in the form of fic. I haven't decided yet ;)
- What happened to the woman the team rescued from the pool at the end of #1? Was she tracked down and either killed or recaptured, a la the starvation victims from #8? Or did the Animorphs follow through and properly get her to safety?
- Jake and Galuit meeting post-war. Needs to happen.
- Ax' characterisation is wildly inconsistent. He just reads as played too much for comedy.
- In #19; how did Aftran leave Karen and nobody notice a formerly important Controller was no more?!?! There wasn't even an attempt at an explanation for that one. Just an attempt at a cutesy moment between a little kid and a self-important ex-butterfly.
- General observation. If there were rumbles of the Animorphs being human as early as #19, why not roll out the blood drive then? Yes, it would have taken resources, but a) pre-#19 they had a Controller with access to daddy's millions and b) instead of a lollipop, they hand out parasitic alien brain slugs. Up the freaking ante!! And on a related note, after #21 VISSER THREE KNEW THERE WAS A HUMAN ANIMORPH. HOW BIG A STRETCH WOULD IT HAVE BEEN TO ASSUME THERE WERE MORE!?!?
- After reading the David arc: His parents, post-war, meeting Marco. I vaguely remember what happens to David as of #48, but presumably his parents are still Controllers. And once they're freed... they'll still be looking for their dangerous psychopath kid.
- Gump. Whatever happened to Gump??
...I don't know if I'm brave enough to dive back into the TV series. Maybe just the one based on The Capture. Visser Three's an Observer, though. I read an Animorphs/Avengers crossover earlier - how freaky/awesome would an Animorphs/Fringe crossover be :D
