We go through the Anibase Q+A archives with K.A. Applegate from June 1998. Using the incredible power of the Time Matrix, a young K.A. Applegate is able to assist us in answering questions from young readers about the series, including how many Animorphs books there will be, K.A.'s writing process, and the truth about K.A.'s kids.

It's our second special retrospective episode, in which we recap the second "season" of the Animorphs book series, comprised of Animorphs #14-22, Megamorphs #2, and The Hork-Bajir Chronicles. We rank each book of the series, dissect new theories of Yeerk evolution, and fret over the word 'neotenous'.
