TV SHOW INFO
-------------------------
We don’t have a review of the third episode this weel, but I do have a opinion,
keep reading below.
In other news, the official TV web page has been updated!! It’s got new pictures
on episodes 2, 3 and 4. And a complete summary of episodes 1-4 including the
titles:
Episode 1. "MY NAME IS JAKE" - PART ONE
Episode 2. "MY NAME IS JAKE" - PART TWO
EPISODE 3 "THE UNDERGROUND"
EPISODE 4 "ON THE RUN"
EXCLUSIVE:
EPISODE 5 “TRAPPED (I think)”
Here is the official plot of episode 4: After a terrifying close call in the
Yeerk Pool, the Animorphs decide to split up and gather more information. While
Rachel and Cassie find out about The Sharing and look for the missing Tobias,
Jake and Marco make a startling discovery about Elfangor's disk…!
Here is an opinion on episode 3:
“The third TV show was pretty good. That is, until the yeerk pool. Is it just
me or is the yeerk pool suposed to be grey? Not pink. Jake morphs a white
tiger in 3.5 seconds and Rachel morphes a lion. What dose that leave David
with? Will they even have a David? Is it me or is this show wrong? It ends
with everyone walking down the street yelling, "Tobias! Tobias!" I really
liked the music but the theme song isn't.....Animorphie. It just dosn't sound
right to me. Anyway, all and all the music is good, the morphs can use work,
and they could at least TRY to get the yeerk pool right. I suggest you buy the
soundtrack when it comes out and ditch this show.”
That’s all the TV show info this week.
-------------------------
FORUM
-------------------------
Last week's forum topic was the same as two weeks ago: If you were to make a new
Animorph character, to be with the Animorphs, what personalities and traits
would you give him/her? Would he/she be an Alien? Human?
I still got people who sent in their stories!!
“My newest Animorph is Nera. She became an Animorph when she caught Cassie
morphing in the woods. She followed the Animorphs around for a few days until
Tobias caught her spying on them. They had to make her an Animorph. She has
brown hair and black eyes. She is around Cassie's highth with Rachel's skin
and Marco's sence of humor. Though she seems right on the outside she is
messed up on the inside. Not bad, just depressed. She's like Tobias, her mom
and dad died and ever since she'd been taking care of herself. She is
independednt will a strong will. When she learns of the yeerks she hates them.
She wants to kill them. And word is, she and Tobias have a thing for
each other.”
“If I had a new Animorph, she would definitly be a girl. On the tall
side, hispanic, and an Exchange student from Mexico. She and Marco
would have this thing going. Her name would be Maria. Plus, she and
Rachel are competing for the "Xena" title.”
- Aphrodite (Kelsey Mayer)
This week's forum topic is, free. Write in and tell me anything!!
Recently in the official forum, opinions have been posted for Cassie and Jake’s
date. Here are some highlights, read them they are god:
First, they would go to a movie. Like normal teens they would probably kiss a
few times too. Then they would morph their birds and fly to an island somewhere.
There they would take a walk and talk about stuff. They would probably kiss a
lot there. Then they would morph dolphins and swim for a while. After that they
would fly back to the land. Then walk home and kiss on their front porch
goodnight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake'd probably go to Cassie's barn to get her, then they'd go to a movie or
something, have a bite to eat, then.... then Rachel tells them by thought speak
that the others are in trouble! Jake and Cassie must stop their date, morph into
tiger & wolf, kick some Hork Bajir bee-hind, and Taxxon, uhh, {sweating} well,
they beat 'em. They'll probably have to fight Visser Three, and win. Jake and
Cassie continue their dinner, then Jake drops Cassie home. Then, (my ABSOLUTE
FAVORITE PART!!!!!!!!!!!!) the GOODNIGHT KISS!!!
--Animorph Lover
I don’t see why, people have to automatically say that since they are teens they
HAVE to kiss. What is the big deal? I mean sure it’s great but . . . .
-------------------------
SHOUT OUT! POLL
-------------------------
Last week's poll question was: Do you think there are too many web pages that
look like Jeff’s (Pam’s new page)? It’s a tie.

GOSSIP
-----------
Not a lot of info this week.
- Here is a really cool question found on Ask KA that KA answered:
“Will the Animorphs ever morph Yeerks?”
“Yes. And fairly soon.”
--KAA
- The cover of the Hork-Bajir Chronicles is availiable at this address:
http://www.amazon.com/covers/0/59/038/198/0590381989.l.gif
More information on the H-B Chronicles: It’s 240 pages and will be sold for a
cost of $9.06. The price is higher than normal because it’s a hardcover. We find
out all about Seerows Kindness and the war on the Hork Bajir home world. And
even that Quantum Virus!
- Info on up-coming books: Book #27 has something to do with a giant squid (duh,
like you did not know that), The Visser Chronicles will do with how Visser One
enslaved Marco's mother and how she started the Yeerk invasion on earth. It’ll
come out, sometime in 1999. The cover may show Marco's mom, or maybe some
Yeerks. Also, this book may be narrated by a Yeerk! Even more of the history of
the Animorphs universe will be revealed, in The Taxxon Chronicles!!
- For #26 The Attack (or any book for that matter) David Mattingly, looks
hopefully at AM's cover artist.
- Only a couple days left until the Official Animorphs site updates with info on
Animorphs #24 The Suspision!! We already know that the book revolves a new,
idiotic and humorous alien race called Helmacrons, who get really angry at
Cassie when she donates their ship to a toy drive. What you might not know is
that these aliens are only 1/16th of an inch tall! A new anteater morph (which
is also the cover morph of the book) will be featured!
- Believe it or not, COMPLETE list of morphs for Cassie, Rachel and Jake (not
including books 20-23!!

Animorphs: Lost In Time #2 The Morph continues!! After I lost it (a disk
wouldn’t let me open it) Al Fangor came to the rescue. Thanks to Al Fangor!! On
with the story!!
It worked! I was now safe. The T-rex came over tried to bite me,
sniffed then turned back. When I thought he was gone, I stuck my head.
Nothing in site. No T-rex. No friends.
To be continued...
Chapter 5
I demorphed. "Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, Ax? Anybody?" I yelled. I
was lost. Lost for good.
Chapter 6
I walked and walked, and walked. I couldn't find my friends.
Thump!
"Not again,"I said.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Then through the trees, a T-rex appeared. Followed by a tiger, a
triceretops, and a osprey, who swooped down from the sky. "This is
like a crazy mix and match game,"I said."Okay, umm, let's start with
who I know. Jake is the tiger, Rachel, the elephant, Cassie, the
osprey, no Tobias the t-rex, aand ax the triceretop?"
<I beleive I am called a Tyrannasauraus rex,> Ax said.
"Oh,"I said and they started to demorph, except Jake and Rachel. Again
we climbed on Rachel and again we started to ride. Then all of the
sudden everything went white.
Chapter 7
I woke up. I was FREEZING. I looked around, everything was frozen.
And I mean EVERYTHING.
"Wwaawawawawaaaawhere aaaaaare wweeeee,"Rachel asked.
"Iiiiieiieee don't knooooow,"Jake said.
"I reeemember seeing a paaainting that looked aaaaaalot like
thiiiiis,"I said
"What wazzzz it calllled?"Cassie asked.
"The Ice Age"
To be continued...
Al Fangor has not emailed me #3 so I don’t know if I will post it next week.
