The Animorphs stage a trap within a trap. Tobias learns the truth about his father. Rachel throws a birthday party. Was Elfangor's letter more for him than it was for Tobias? Were Visser 3 and Elfangor madly in love? How much did the Ellimist in terms of getting this letter to Tobias? Did Elfangor broadcast his dying screams to the whole neighborhood? And can Eddy, Miranda, and Chris make it through this cursed episode before the heat completely melts their brains? Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Tobias and Rachel clear the air. Aria saves a kid. Toby chooses to fight back. Is the character of Tobias liminal all the way down? What is the correct way to approach a child playing in traffic? Just how many layers are there to this conversation between Tobias and Rachel? Does Toby have too much power as a seer? And is being a werewolf a good enough excuse to get out of jury duty?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Tobias visits the free Hork-Bajir and learns that their longterm goals do not necessarily align with those of the Animorphs. Then he and Rachel hitch a ride on the roof of a cop car. Will the Animorphs ever become more reluctant to kill Hork Bajir Controllers?  Is this the most hormonal book this far in the series? Does anyone refer to George Washington as a liberator? Can a bird be a little spoon?

Hungry Tobias feuds with another hawk attempting to seize his meadow. Then Tobias has to figure out how to pass as himself in order to meet with a lawyer who claims to have knowledge about his past. Is Book 23 the most queer-coded book yet? Why is it so difficult for Tobias to ask for help? Would Marco respect Tobias' hunting method of sparing the mother rabbit and feasting on her babies? Is Tobias inherently not human because his father is Elfangor? And is Miranda correct that this book secretly about accepting oneself as a bottom? Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

We discuss the news of a possible Ryan Cooler-produced Animorphs series and do a very special David trilogy edition of a mailbag episode to dig into listener thoughts and questions about the worst Animorph ever.Is morphing clothes always a conscious act? Will we ever get a prom book? What about a spooky book? Why is Rachel asked to endure so much more suffering than the other Animorphs? How do siblings even work?

David tries to humiliate Rachel in a Taco Bell. Then the gang dunks on him in the abandoned construction site. Is there another character the Animorphs could recruit in David's place? Why does Jake struggle so much to address the moment after trapping David in rat morph? Is this really David's final appearance in the series? Why doesn't morphing treat a Yeerk like an infection and expel it from a Controller's body?

Rachel shows up for her sister while David lurks. Saddler miraculously recovers— or does he? What the hell did David do with Saddler? What the hell was Jake's father thinking when he compared his hospitalized nephew to raw meat? What the hell was KA Applegate thinking when devised this book?

The Great Yeerking is cancelled. David returns as an orca and exposes Rachel to her friends. What does success look like for the raid on the Marriott-- destroying the Marriott, getting the conference cancelled? When the kids morph into animals, and are able to experience animal instincts, does that mean that the morph holds both the human consciousness and the animal consciousness? And if so, is morphing for combat sort of cruel to the morphed animal? How do we even begin to talk about the horrible dynamic between Rachel and David?

Tobias returns. Rachel jams a fork into David's ear.What is David's longterm plan, if he even has one? Where did Tobias go between losing David and rescuing Rachel? Are middle children always the most talented, or is that only the case with Taylor in the band Hanson?

David picks the Animorphs off one by one. Or does he? Marco is in the closet. Does Rachel referencing South Park give us a clue to when this book takes place? Would the police really call an exotic animal vet upon finding a wounded tiger? When Rachel privately thought-speaks to Marco in his bedroom, why does she reach David, disguised as Marco, and not the real Marco trapped in the closet? (After all, the Animorphs have previously contacted each other via thought-speak without being able to see one another.) Is David’s primary goal truly to kill the Animorphs, given that he never finishes the job, or is he more concerned with terrorizing them?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Jake, Ax, and Tobias stake out the barn. David breaks bad. Did David really kill Tobias, or did David just kill another hawk to mess with Jake's head?? Would the Ellimist even allow David to kill Tobias?! Doesn't everyone suck the ketchup out of those single-serve packets? When is David just a scared kid behaving terribly, and when is he a opportunistic little worm? Who would be the Animorphs' designated "executioner": Rachel because of her capacity for violence, or Ax because of his experience as a soldier?

The kids learn to tie a tie. Visser 3 goes big. Marco slithers. Can we count on the ghostwriters to pay off this storyline of Cassie becoming more and more comfortable with violence? Can weak Andalite arms even do uppies? Does Visser 3 have too much time on his hands? Do human Controllers carry pistols as well as dracon beams?

Cassie nearly dies and then talks Marco down from being stuck as a giant flea. David the Lion behaves badly beneath a fancy table. Something something force field enforced holograms.  How sanitary are Yeerk pools if they're always exposed to the open air? We’ve already seen Rachel the bat fall into one in a cave and now there's one beneath a gaping hole in a roof! Is saying "bite me" to someone antagonistic or flirtatious?

Aldrea asks to speak to the Arn's manager. Was Aldrea the first “unlikable” narrator for many young readers— or at least the first narrator who behaved in such unlikable ways? Is Dak really the first Hork-Bajir to make it through the blue mists of the Arn's Zone, or are the Arn just pushing the others into planet's fiery core? How is the interspecies relationship between Tobias and Rachel similar and different to the relationship between Aldrea and Dak?

Will we ever meet an Andalite who isn’t a jock? Why haven’t the Animorphs questioned whether the Ellimist is interfering in this book yet? And what might the Animorphs have learned if they uncovered some genuinely juicy secrets during the Leeran mind-meld....?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Ax finds himself more torn than ever between his allegiance to the Animorphs and to his own people. A traitor is revealed aboard the Ascalin and the kids are forced to seek out possibly the most tragic Andalite of all. What might be the translation for the Andalite curse “yaolin”? Why are the Yeerks so determined to take the only landmass on a planet inhabited by a species that lives underwater? Is anyone's backstory in this series as much of a bummer as Prince Galuit?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Sometimes you have to close a door to open a window, yes, but sometimes you have to open a window to Hulk-smash out of another. The Animorphs morph into mosquitoes and develop a lust for blood. The kids go to Z-space. Is it rude  to ask an Andalite to lift their hoof to reveal what exactly is going on down there? Does Eddy know how to say the word “irreparably”? (Answer: no!!!) Do any of the Anidorks know how to say “Carnegie”? (Our working theory: the pronunciation is a PA thing!) What the hell is the Animorphs’ plan for absorbing the blood after they’ve consumed it as mosquitoes? Are they going to squash each other? Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!

Ax tries to get a part-time job and fights Visser 3 on top of a McDonalds. Chapman hits a guy with a minivan. Who is Jane Carnegie and where is she?! If every Aristh gets a kafit morph, why is Ax so suspicious that Visser 3 has one? Where we robbed of an entire book of the Animorphs trying to prove that Chapman hit a Secret Service agent with a minivan? And isn’t the roof of a McDonalds the perfect location for a one on one brawl to the death?Support the showSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks@anidorkspod on twitter! Send questions to [email protected]!
