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? Are only children sort of their own middle sibling?

We talk about the David trilogy as a whole, from Rachel's character development to Marco's early suspicion of David to whatever was going on with that whole arc about Yeerking the world leaders. Then we make a wish list for what we want to see in the coming books of the series and clean out the mailbag before next week's "oops all David trilogy" mailbag ep!

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? And who is coming to dinner?

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? Is violence really what Rachel is addicted to, or is it adrenaline? And is one person's description another's descrippy-ippy?

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? And who even is Stanley Tucci?

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? Is Rachel's ease with using violent a problem, or does it make complete sense given that the world always seems out to get her?

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?

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? How the hell are the Animorphs going to solve this??

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? Should Visser 3 and Dealin' Dan just kiss?

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? How is anyone in the fandom so critical of Cassie when she has amazing moments like saving Marco from his flea morph? What the hell is going on in this book with holograms and force fields?
