Character discussion Elimist and Crayak

Sep 25, 2011 20:53

I am sorry for the confusion, I really thought Edriss was Visser One. Who was he then? And this forces me to alter my Bones cross, because I thought I was making up Essam(though spelled Essom) for one of my Yeerks. Darn.

anyway, onto this week.

What I want to know is the state of the universe when it's all over between the two of them.

Also, how much time passes for them? Are they both sitting and constantly watching Earth as the Human/Yeerk/Andalite war rages, or do they have other planets to ravish and just check in periodically? (My perception always kinda leaned toward the latter.)

honestly their whole extra-dimensionality stops making sense when you realize that their focus is solely our galaxy

or maybe crayak went back and revenged against who ever kicked him out of his home...

ugh idk, too many spaces left, too many unanswered questions, but honestly, I'm okay with not knowing. I think the mysticism adds to the plausibility. Kind of like how ~*~the force is mysterious~*~ is the last-ditch answer to any star wars plot hole, the ellimist and crayak being incomprehensible is kind of necessary for everything to work out.

Except the Force is caused by little bacteria in your blood. And the Ellimist is a space-bird who got sucked into a black hole.

...Sigh.

lol space bird

you know I don't know what it is, because it is a pretty stupid explanation, but I never had a problem with the ellimist's *ascendance*. Maybe it's because it actually happened during a plot, as a part of the climax, where the conflict between the protagonist and antagonist was at its head, and not a pointless excessive piece of pointless excessive exposition, but like, idk, I dug it. His consciousness was fragmented and all of those little pieces ended up in different realms of the universe, and the way the universe resolved all that was to let him hack or whatever.

IDK! Ellimist Chronicles is probably ranked #4 but it's still a chronicles book so I'm going to defend it :(
