I was quite surprised to learn that Safeway is a regional chain, which helps locate the animorphs on the west coast.

The Yeerks are waging a war of annihilation, with their end goal being the complete enslavement of, as far as we know, every other intelligent species in the galaxy. I don't think Elfangor is wrong not to kill them, but but Alloran would still be justified in doing so. Additionally, the only time you can really ever kill a Yeerk without also killing a slave at the same time is when the Yeerk is entirely helpless (excluding the rare chance of capturing one and tying it down for 3 days until it starves to death, which seems like a worse moral act really, since you torture both the Yeerk and the host). The fact that the Taxxon's are willing hosts, doing this to avoid the endless hunger definitely adds a wrinkle, but this is still the Yeerks on the way to arming themselves for battle to conquer every other species.

For some reason the ocean world shark heist chapters are the only ones I can remember from this book. The random controller guard must have really stood out to me.

Okay it turns out I also remembered Marco pretending to be a Controller to his mother. Still not sure why I couldn't remember anything else, like the super sharks. Good book though, drat.

I really didn't expect them to actually get the chance to oatmeal the pool, even 500 yeerks was probably a pretty hefty blow to the war effort.

Why would being in a coma stop a yeerk from controlling you like normal, aren't they already forcing brainwaves and stuff? Do yeerks lose control when you're asleep? Do they lucid dream, unable to control your body? Why can't Ax just morph a fly, fly into the white house and then demorph, why do they need the secret service guy as a go between morph?

freebooter posted:I think (though this is, like, "Harry has to go back to the Dursleys because of maaaaagic" reasoning - the actual answer is that it would disrupt the series) alerting the government would be a bold move that could trigger an all-out war. The Yeerks don't want an all-out war because while they'd eventually win, it would be devastating and kill hundreds of millions or maybe billions of potential hosts, and the Animorphs don't want that either for obvious reasons. Yeah that's the thing, I can buy not wanting to expose the truth but most of the time they seem to forget that and try to expose the truth, like with the water supply ship from earlier, or this plan.

Mind readers would basically negate the biggest advantage of either side of the war. The next book is so wild, I love it, though it's unfair that they don't get to keep their morphs

They should have kept the dino morphs I really like this one, and it has a different tone of grimness to most of the darker books. I guess that's what happens when you have to commit genocide to keep the timeline on track.

Ax is definitely right though. I completely missed this section of the books so I don't know what happens here but adding one member is a massive risk for completely marginal gains. If they were recruiting a bunch of people at once it'd be a different story. They probably should have just not told him about Tobias at first so he could safely watch him for a few days.

I don't think a yeerk president can actually do much more to defend himself against v3 than either the real president or any yeerk under his command. What's he going to do, tell the world about the yeerk invasion? Not go back to the yeerk pool to feed so v3 can't kill him?

I'm surprised the yeerks ever bothered to record or report the hork-bajir names. They'd need to keep track of humans for the stealth invasion but otherwise remembering the personhood of your hosts seems like a loosing idea.

Based on the little snippets at the start of chapters they seem pretty genocidal - maybe they're just attacking everything that moves?

So far the Helmacrons really only did so well against the animorphs because they had the blue box to use as a shrink ray. Without it, how are they going to do anything but annoy Visser Three?
