The Ellimist is back on his bullshit, and so are we! We debate the difficult questions in this one—like whether or not a capitalist society whose inhabitants are happy is inherently exploitive and whether Jake might be competent.

AKA, The Fault in Mother Sky’s Flowers

 

Would you believe that there are aliens more aloof than Andalites? Yeah, we know it's hard to fathom. But our plucky heroes have found them. And a genocidal Andalite War-Prince. And maybe even love in a hopeless place.

The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, Part 1

June 25, 2019 by Alex LaVelle
 

Two things that we never thought would happen finally do: we meet a female Andalite, and we solve the Yeerk invasion problem. All this, and we get philosophical (but keep it Platonic).
