LORDY that was good. I'm getting nervous about the deadline for a love triangle. It really looks like T and Rach are solid along with Jake and Cassie. So does that leave..... Marco and Ax? (yes, weird. but interesting?)

here's the thing -- never underestimate the power of a late-game triangle!! while i don't think romance is at the forefront of applegate's mind, it's at the forefront of ours. i could get behind marco and ax.

I have to say, I'm absolutely enamored with these real-life lore plugs. Like the creation of dogs with ancient erek and the chee was one thing, but the animorphs being the sole deciding factor in the extinction of dinosaurs is the greatest thing to ever happen to YA. lots of good ToRach in this one and i have a feeling in my deepest of hearts that something terrible is going to happen to them before they can get together. I have a good feeling that jake and cassie will get together soon, tho-- matt's prediction might be right.

(as an aside, i had to double check if chee had one e or two and came across the fact that erek is played by Dov Tiefenbach in the 1999 TV series of Animorphs and googling what he looks like now and imagining him as ancient erek is absolutely sending me into the stratosphere) (bootleg boy george as ancient erek, confirmed)

it brings me JOY. not only was applegate like, dinosaurs were real and god is dead, but these six youths are responsible for evolution. i am anticipating jake and cassie's status to move to Official soon, probably after another brush with death? but you're right, i don't think anything can happen with ToRach until something Terrible happens.

oh my ggggOOOOOOOODDDDD
