This world is dedicated to my fav sci fi, live action TV shows. Some are no longer on, and some have ended their run. But I still like them, so they're still included here. Those that are no longer making new episodes contain spoilers for the series, so read at your own discretion. Ratings are provided for those I could find.

Note: Sliders writers used my own term, Kromagg Prime, in the 3rd ep of the 5th Season, said by Rembrendt. I coined that term way back in June 1998, when the 4th season began, and used it both on this page, and on a Sliders Mailing List (before the second episode even aired. The Slider one.). Since then, others on that very same list has used it, and undoubtedly used it on other Sliders lists, as well as the Sliders Message Board. Where, on one of these, the writers of the 5th Season got wind of it and liked it so much, they used it. So remember folks, you read it here first: Kromagg Prime. A Star System exclusive name for an alternate Earth homeworld.

Sliders is about Quinn Mallory, a grad school student who is trying to build an antigravity device. Instead, he stumbles upon the secret to traveling to parallel dimensions (this is done by crossing the Einstein-Rosen-Podowski Bridge, also called Sliding). Joined by Maximillian P. Arturo (his physics professor), Wade Kathleen Welles (his best friend), and accidentally sliding Rembrandt Lee "Crying Man" Brown, the Sliders enter a world that has been devastated by a major calamity. In order to survive, Quinn is forced activate the Timer (a device used to open wormholes between worlds, and uses a timing mechanism to open a return wormhole home) ahead of schedule, which is a major no no. The home coordinates are scrambled, and they end up in yet another parallel dimension. Realizing that is why one should never use the Timer ahead of schedule, the Sliders find themselves lost in the universe. Now, they head from world to world, trying to reach home (known as Earth Prime.) Along the way, they run into trouble by breaking laws they didn't know ever existed, as well as by trying to help someone out. To make matters worse, there are also some very evil beings out among the universe.

For starters, there's the Kromaggs. Kromaggs are a race of evolved killer apes, who have mastered gravity, and are telepathic. They also used to live in peace with Humans, until a war between the species broke out. Using a powerful new weapon, the Voraton KR-17, the humans won, and exiled the Kromaggs to a new Earth, through the use of a Quantum Probability Translocator (QPT), AKA sliding (Quantum Probability predicts that there are parallel Earths, and Translocator means it finds these parallel Earths, and can move someone between them.) The humans then cloak their world, keeping the Kromaggs from ever finding it again. Building their own QPT, the Kromaggs learn to control sliding, and invade the rest of the universe, taking over each world that they come across, in their attempt to find Kromagg Prime (my name for their homeworld).

Then there's Logan, the female double of Quinn. In her world, resources are scarce, and so she invented Sliding as a way to plunder other dimensions. Her only problem is she doesn't know the coordinates back to her world. The Sliders do, but in order to save the rest of the universe, Quinn gives her phony return coordinates, leaving her as lost as they are. However, she now has a reason to despise them.

There was Rickman. His Earth was destroyed by radiation from space. He worked with Quinn to find a new world to live on. However, he decided to save only the most valuable people he knew, kills a scientist working for him (as well as the Professor), and enslaves the savages living on their new world. So the remaining Sliders, and Maggie Beckett (wife of the killed scientist, and Capatain under the Colonel), pursue him through the universe, trying to bring him to justice, and to retrieve their home coordinates from his Timer (during their search for a new world, Quinn and Maggie land on what Quinn believes to be Earth Prime, but isn't.)

Finally, there's Dr. Oberon Gieger. His sliding experiments resulted in the destruction of his Dimensional Anchor (my term based off of explanations from the show.) A Dimensional Anchor is the dimensional eqivalent of gravity. Without it, Dr. Gieger will randomly slide forever. He has developed a force field to keep him anchored in his home dimension, and is now trying to merge all the dimensions into one, so he will no longer be sliding. However, his force field was destroyed, and now he's out there, and none to happy with the Sliders.

Also complicating matters is that Quinn knows his house by the squeaky gate he never got around to fixing. Unfortunately though, the handyman finally fixed it, and the Sliders don't know this. That is how Quinn believes he has finally found Earth Prime, even though it's not. Also causing them trouble is the need to activate the Timer when it reaches zero. Once they learned they were lost, Quinn and the Professor determine that after each slide, there is a time until the next window of opportunity to slide comes gain (they rig the Timer to count down to the next window, though this info was cut from the series.) If a wormhole isn't opened, they must wait 29.7 years for the Timer to recharge again. This happens on an Egyptian ruled world, but they find a new Timer to continue their journey home (also loosing any chance of recovering the coordinates home.)

They have maybe two friends (not including those they meet on the different Earths.) One is an intelligent flame from a world where the Earth never cooled off, and the fires there evolved. He claims that he was able to choose his form, and is able to travel the universe at will, thus returning to his home world through the wormhole. He had promised to help the Sliders return home. Also out there, is a world where an evil Professor tried exchanging places with the Sliders' Professor. No one knows which professor slid with them, but he is dead now. So, either there's a good Professor out there, trying to find his friends and home, or an evil one that if he chooses to slide, will seek vengeance on them (note: this is not definite. The evil Professor might never bother them again.) This also raises the question of meeting evil doubles who want to slide for evil reasons, like Logan. So maybe they might run into trouble with their doubles one day.

During the latest season changes (and station changes form Fox to Sci Fi Channel), Quinn and Maggie become separated from the team, and spend 3 months, and 10 worlds (very long stay overs) trying to repair the timer's tracking capabilities. Finally fixing it, the two arrive on what they believe is Earthprime, only to discover that the Kromaggs have taken over (the Maggs have been redesigned, as has the wormhole, sporting a more CGI look to it.) They learn that Wade has been shipped off world to become a breeder for human/Kromagg hybrids, and Remmy has been captured. Breaking Remmy out, Quinn is captured. Meeting up with his mom, she reveals he was born to sliding duplicates (sliding obviously runs in the blood). She gives him a device left by his real parents, which he uses when he is freed. His folks reveal that he is from Kromagg Prime. It seems that humans and Maggs lived peacefully, until a civil war broke out. The humans devised a weapon to win. Just in case it failed, the Mallory's left Quinn and his older brother Colin on parallel worlds, with foster duplicates. Two years later, the humans have won, but Quinn's foster parents hide him from his real parents. Just in case they had failed, they left the device to explain the truth, and give him the coordinates to his brother's world. So Quinn and the gang decide to slide around, searching for his true home world, so they can find the weapon to use on fake Earth Prime. Quinn also finds his brother Colin living on a preindustrial aged Earth.

New trouble also arises, when the Kromaggs invent a weapon capable of destroying only humans. Though Quinn ruins the first experimental model, the race is clearly on to see which side can get the ultimate weapon first, and destroy their enemies.

Later, Quinn and Colin determine the proper dimensional coordinates to Kromagg Prime (which are 405 134 101 118), but learn that their father has cloaked the dimension to keep the Kromaggs out, thus bouncing anybody trying to enter to yet another dimension. This one is uninhabitable, so a very large complex was built to support anyone who arrives. Here in this "Slide Cage", humans and Kromaggs (both from Kromagg Prime) continue to battle, until Quinn finds a way to send everybody back to the world they last came from. Then he plans to find a way around his own people's defenses, so they can reach the Voraton KR-17.

The Voraton KR-17 is later revealed to have killed the majority of Kromaggs, and made sterile all female Kromaggs. So the breeding camps were formed to create Human/Kromagg hybrids, who the Sliders eventually run into. In the 5th Season, it is learned that the weapon destroyed Kromagg Prime's biosphere, and that that Earth is in one sorry state. So it can't be used against the Kromaggs anymore.

The 5th Season has some new changes. The evil Dr. Gieger has destroyed his Dimensional Anchor, leaving him unstuck and lost in the Multiverse, randomly sliding against his will. He is now trying to merge the Multiverse back into one. Building the Combine, Geiger tested his theories by merging Quinn with a double, creating Mallory (who has Alternate Quinn's consciousness be dominate.) The merging also has destroyed Colin's Dimensional Anchor, leaving him unstuck as well. They also team up with Diana Davies, who was working with Dr. Gieger, and is now trying to rescue Colin, and separate the Quinns. Eventually, Geiger learns he can't merge all the unvierses, and agrees to split the Quinns, but realizes the merger has lasted too long, and to separate them is to kill Mallory. Remmy and Maggie decide Quinn would rather give up his life than cost Mallory his, and so Mallory remains amalgamated.

The series ends on a world where the Sliders are famous for their adventures. A heart attack victim gained the power to see through dimensions, and chronicles their lives. So inspired by the Sliders, the people fought back against the Kromaggs, and created a virus harmful only to them. Remmy is overjoyed at the thought of freeing his supposed home world, but unfortunately, the Seer foresees their deaths on the next slide, and warns them to stay. When they try and slide, they are blocked, and the Timer rests. Turns out, the Seer's daughter Claire wants them to stay, and destroys the Timer. Mrs. Mallory from False Earth Prime (having been held on this world and eventually freed), tells them of a secret stash of Kromagg technology. Diana uses their sliding equipment, but can only create a portal for one. Remmy injects the virus into himself, and tells the others to follow if the Seer says it's OK. He slides out, and the Seer dies of a heart attack, leaving Remmy's fate unknown, and the others unsure if they should stay, or follow and risk death.

A movie is planned, but it is unknown at this time if it will ever happen. Hopefully, it will be.

I also think Colin never got unstuck. During the 5th Season premiere, it shows Colin getting knocked back the way he was sliding, and he obviously took the wrong off ramp. Even Dr. Geiger said he couldn't help Colin, and that he probably is still out there somewhere. Not something you'd say about an unstuck man. Also, twice Diana used a machine to temporarily restick Geiger, and if Colin was unstuck, surely he'd been restuck too, or instead of Dr. Geiger.

Sliders also made many episodes based on movies. Here now is a list of the ones I remember them doing:

Wizard Of Oz

Nightmare On Elm Street

Jurassic Park

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Tremors

Species

Night Of The Living Dead

The Island of Dr. Moreau

Twister

Finally, I will now explain about parallel dimensions. The basis is that every time we make a decision, there then exist a parallel dimension where the other choice (that we didn't choose) occurred. Like if you go left on a path, there then exists a parallel dimension where you chose right, and different things happen to your double. The more choices there are to choose form, the more parallel worlds there are. Sometimes a key moment in history occurs. There then exists a parallel world where things went quite differently, like a different animal evolved (like with the Kromaggs), or the other side won a war. These are also known as an alternate dimension. A parallel dimension is also where things parallel our own, like say a world where animals all evolved (like a Disney cartoon.) So, sometimes the Sliders end up on a world where history took a different course, or on one where mystical ways still rule. In any event, since each decision makes at least one more dimension, plus, every time a decision is made in that new dimension, more parallel dimensions exist, there are an infinite number of dimensions. Meaning it'll take some luck for the Sliders to find there way home without knowing their dimensional coordinates. It's like a roulette wheel, with an infinite number of places for the ball to land. Each slide is a spin of the wheel. Where they end up, no one knows. But it is possible to find their home. It all depends on luck (sure, the probability is against it, but since when does luck have anything to do with probability?)

An important note to make is the theory on whether or not the Sliders ever found Earth Prime. While Fox made it seem like the gate lost it squeak in the second season, the Sci Fi Channel seems to make it be that never happened. The current theory amongst a sliders mailing list is that the second season world wasn't really Earth Prime at all, just another world where a Quinn discovered sliding. So, in the third season, Quinn really does find Earth Prime, and that world is indeed conquered by the Kromaggs. Also, our Quinn really is from another world, and Colin is indeed his brother. Funny thing is, Quinn actually had a device to scan the quantum signatures of a person (since each world has it's own unique signature, and thus everyone living on that world has it too), but he left it behind on the word before Colin's, so there goes any chance to tell if they're from the same world or not. But later, Colin's signature seemed to be slightly different form Quinn's, so maybe you only get one from sliding through the vortex, so it changes each slide, and thus there goes that theory of mine to discover the truth.

Only time will tell for certain whether or not that is really Earth Prime, but until it is clearly established, I'm personally going under the belief that it isn't, and Quinn will never find his true homeworld since he still thinks the gate will squeak, and it won't.

Unfortunately, it's official. Sliders has been canceled. Please contact the Sic Fi Channel, and ask them to renew it, or sell it into syndication, so others can revive it.

Note: The Einstein-Rosen-Podesky Bridge is named after Albert Einstein, Nathan Rosen, and Boris Podolsky.

There are fun games to play for the 4th Season, and it will also let you learn the full history of the Kromaggs.

Happy sliding. : )

Power Rangers is about a group of teenagers who are given powers to become martial arts super heroes. They use their powers, and big robots called Zords, to fight evil space aliens bent on conquering the Earth, and the rest of the universe. The evil space aliens send down a monster to Angel Grove (the Rangers home town), and the Rangers go to stop it. Unable to defeat it, they merge their Zords together into a Mega Zord, and thus defeat the monster.

Over the years, Rangers have come and gone. New enemies try and destroy them. The Rangers get new Cords, and new versions of their powers. They always start with 5 rangers, and get a sixth one later on. Sometimes the sixth one is a robot. Sometimes he is an alien who helps out for a while before returning home. So far, there are 5 or 6 Earth Rangers, and a whole plethora of alien rangers, consisting of 5 Aquitian Rangers, 1 Gold Ranger, 1 Phantom Ranger, and 2 Space Rangers.

This season, the Rangers head out into space. Now down to 4 Rangers, and no powers, they meet Andros, the Space Ranger. Teaming up, he gives them new powers, and together they search for his missing sister Kerone, and the Earth Rangers captured friend Zordon (who gave the original Rangers their powers.) They must fight Astronema, specially chosen by the evil head honcho himself, Dark Specter. Later, they meet Andross' friend Zhane, and discover that Astronema is in fact, Kerone. In the end, all the vilalins form all the series attacked the universe, and nearly conquered it. While the Rangers revealed their identities to help save Earth, Andross made a last ditch effort to save his sister, and thus the whole universe, and won by shattering Zordon's tube. Though Zordon perished, his energy destroyed all evil in the universe, turned several of the different series' main villains into humans, and took away the Rangers powers. With the universe saved, and Astronema turned back into Karone, the Rangers settled down to a peaceful life on Earth.

The new series is Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. Set 5 years in the future, many humans leave Earth aboard the space colony Terra Venture, to find a new world (not much details on the why is made.) But on the distant world Miranoi, in another dimension, the evil Scorpius sets his sites on the five Quasar Swords. When one native escapes through a portal, she ends up on Terra Venture. Befriending several humans, they return with her, and use the swords to become the new Power Rangers. They are later joined by the Magna Defender. Now they must fight a new evil to defend the universe (you didn't think evil was defeated for good {pun intended], now did you?) Eventually, Scorpius is killed, his daughter, Trakeena, takes over with new allies, the Pink Ranger sacrifices herself, and Karone returns to take her place. Then Terra Venture is sent to the Lost Galaxy, where the Rangers must face the evil Captain Mutiny. Once escaping, the Magna Defender's powers are destroyed, and the Rangers face off against a pumped up Trakeena. Finally, Terra Venture lands on Miranoi, meet their original Pink Ranger, alive and well, and the Rangers return their powers for another time.

Next it's Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Evil demons have accidentally been released, and are attacking Mariner Bay, to reclaim their old palace, buried beneath the city. 5 new Rangers are chosen to live on the underwater base Light Speed, and to save the city from destruction. Basically, they just go about rescuing everybody, sort of like Power Rangers meet the Thunder Birds (Who were a family that used special vehicles to rescue people trapped in dangerous situations.)

Eventually, they defeat the Demons, with the help of one of the Demons, restoring peace to Mariner Bay. Not one of the better series.

Next, it's Power Rangers Time Force. In the year 3000, the Time Force (futuristic cops), clean up the streets of crime. Except for the mutant Ransik. He is captured, but his daughter Nadira frees him, and he kills the Red Ranger. Then they grab some prisoners, and escape to the year 2001. The Red Ranger's fiancee grabs her friends (who failed to prevent Ransik's escape), and steals some Chrono Morphers, and takes the Time Ship to follow, which cashes and blows up, stranding them in Silver Hills, in the year 2001. Teaming up with the Red Ranger's ancestor, they become the Power Range's Time Force, and using the Time Force Mega Zords from the future, follow Ransik throughout history, trying to recapture him. This is also the most diverse Ranger team of all, featuring 1 alien mind reader from the planet Zybria, 3 from 3000, and one from 2001. They are also changing history. The show has a very anti-climatic ending, where Ransik realizes the errors of his ways after nearly killing his daughter Nadira, and just surrenders.

Power Rangers Wild Force is next. 5 were predestined to become the Wild Force Rangers, and command the Wild Zords, while fighting to protect Turtle Cove from the evil Org's, an ancient race of monsters that failed to take over the world 3,000 years ago, and so is trying to do so now. Thye are lead by Master Org and his two Duke Org's. This time, there's lots more Zords than the standard 5/6 (5 Rangers originally, joined eventually by a 6th).

This show is about three kids who go into a mansion inhabited by some monsters. They accidentally free Flabber. Being a phasm (so he can do magic), Flabber grants them ones wish. Thinking it's a dream, they ask for the most ridiculous thing they can think of. To become their favorite comic book heroes, the Big Bad Beetle Borgs. Flabber grants their wish, but accidentally releases the Magnavores (the villains) from the comics. Now the kids must become the Beetle Borgs to stop monsters from the Beetle Borg comics from destroying their home town of Charterville.

The second season is the one I really started watching. As the first season ended, the villains head to their creator, Art Fortunes, and find a drawing of a powerful being called Nukus. Bringing Nukus out of the 2 Dimensional world and into the 3D one (everyone is always so happy to be 3D), a plot is formed to destroy the Beetle Borgs once and for all. Nukus has all the comic book monsters merged into the undefeatable Borgslayer. Then he helps the Borgs learn how to stop the monster. Upon doing so, a vortex is created which sucks the Magnavores back into the comics once and for all Then Nukus challenges the Beetle Borgs to a fight. However, not being one of Art's creations, Nukus destroys their powers. Then he learns of his true origins. Art's evil and twisted brother, Les, drew him. So Nukus heads out and releases his creator from jail, and brings to life some of Les' drawings, namely Horribelle and Vilor. Taking over the Magnavores' cemetery hideout, Nukus brings Les' drawings to life, to try and destroy the Beetle Borgs. The Borgs, however, have Art create new, stronger powers for them, and they become the Beetle Borgs Metallix.

Later, Les reveals to Nukus about the first comic he and Art worked on. What results is the releasing of the evil Mantrons and the heroic Astral Borgs. Both sides via for control of the 8 Astral Coins, and the Astral Sword, which when used together can summon the giant Robo Borg. Depending on who summons him, Robo Borg can be good or evil. Eventually the Beetle Borgs get control of him, defeat the Mantrons, and gain a powerful new ally. To combat him, Les creates a device which gives more power to Nukus, turning him into Mega Nukus, and the Astral Ax, which summons Boron, Robo Borgs equal. Robo Borg gives the Borgs new powers, which enable them to become the Mega Spectra Beetle Borgs, with more fire power, and the ability to fly.

The series ends with Nukus merging Les' most powerful creations together with toxic ooze. The result is a giant, unstoppable monster. The Beetle Borgs steal the Astral Ax, and turn Boron good. Using their friends and Mega powers, they defeat the monster, and Les returns to jail. Whether or not the new team of good guys can defeat Nukus and the Crustaceans, and where Mega Nukus will now get his monsters from, is left unresolved.

If you ask me, the show was canceled right when it finally got good. The problem with the first season for me, was that all the comic book monsters brought to life were villains the comic Beetle Borgs had defeated. So how could the kids turned Borg do any less, especially knowing how to defeat each villain that comes their way? At least with Les' drawings, the enemies were new, and the Borgs had no way to know how to defeat them.

This is a show about a teen who accidentally gets sucked into cyberspace. He is transformed into the hero Servo. His friends join him inside cyberspace, but they pilot various vehicles which can become armor for Servo. Together they fight Kilokhan, a rogue Artificial Intelligence who has teamed up with their school mate Malcolm. Malcolm draws Mega Virus Monsters on his computer, and Kilokahn brings them to life, and sends them into the electronic world (a world which exists in all electronics.) Kilokhan hopes to take control of the world through the corruption of electronics, which causes the wackiest things to happen (this show is basically scientifically impossible in everything it does, even for a kids TV show.) Servo and his friends then head into the infected electronic device, to stop the virus, and return everything to normal. The show ends with Kilokhan turning on Malcolm, Malcolm learning the true identity of Servo, and a final showdown between servo and Kilokhan. Though Servo wins, Kilokhan had backed himself up, and Malcolm unwittingly revives him. If you ask me, this show never got the chance it deserved.

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

TNG started the Star Trek phenomenon for a whole new generation (the originals only became popular in syndication, after it had been canceled.) TNG was the adventures of a new crew on board a bigger and better Enterprise, some 80 years after the original one. The crew basically traveled the Alpha Quadrant, protecting its inhabitants, finding new worlds with new civilizations, and keeping the peace. The biggest thing brought out of it, was the eternal question. Who is a better captain? The original series' Kirk, or TNG's Picard (I personally never liked TOS. The sets were cramped, and the effects bad by today's standards. Plus Kirk always tried to have relationships with every alien woman he could. The only thing good about TOS was the aliens. Today's rule of humanoid aliens only (humanoid means looking very much like a human), with no extra eyes or other body parts where humans don't have any, never existed. So different beings were encountered, like a giant lizard guy, with a lizard head, and nothing humanoid about him.

The most popular alien ever encountered was Q. Q was also the most powerful. Q is a being with godlike abilities, hailing from the Q continuum, a place where the Q come from. Q's are aliens who evolved themselves into immortality and omnipotence. This Q, was a trouble maker. He put the human race on trial, and each season always caused trouble. Even after Picard helped him out, Q always caused mischief, even when trying to help.

The most dreaded and feared aliens ever were introduced on TNG. The Borg. The Borg are a collective, with a Queen, and a hive mind. They go about the galaxy assimilating races into their collective. Their slogan "Resistance is futile. Assimilate or be destroyed," says it all. Hailing from the Delta Quadrant (the other side of the galaxy), Q introduced them to the Federation, and they even assimilated Picard once. To make matters worse, the Borg can become immune to whatever you throw at them. They are virtually unstoppable.

Most importantly of note, the Klingons (the most dangerous enemies on TOS), were now allies with the Federation (The Untied Federation Of Planets, is a creation by Earth, where lots of planets work together, sort of like the UN.) One even served aboard the Enterprise.

The show lasted 7 seasons. It ended at the height of it's popularity, in favor of doing movies. It also spun of Deep Space 9.

TVPG

DS9 is about a space station located at the end of the Alpha Quadrant. It was once own by the Cardassians. The Cardassians ruled the nearby planet, Bajour, for 50 years, before being defeated, and forced to give up Terek Nor to the Federation. Terek Nor was then renamed Deeps Space 9. DS9 is also located next to the only known stable wormhole (a shortcut through space). It leads to the Gamma Quadrant (some 50 years away.)

The show was about DS9's personal keeping the peace and helping to defend Bajour. The Cardassians caused problems, and DS9 would have to intervene. Events form TNG lead to a renegade group called the Marquis being formed, to fight the Cardassians who annexed their planets. To make matters worse, a powerful new enemy was discovered. In the Gamma Quadrant, the Dominion rule. They consist of the Founders, changelings who were once hunted down, but who now do the hunting. They are served by Vortas, who lead the Jem'Hardar, a powerful race genetically engineered to fight, and who live on a drug called White. Eventually, the Cardassians join the Dominion, destroy the Marquis, and a war is engaged between the Federation and the Dominion.

A few points of note. The Captain of DS9 started out as a Commander. He is also the Emissary. The Emissary is a religious icon to the Bajoureans. The wormhole is believed by the Bajoureans to be home of the Prophets, the Celestrial Temple. It is eventually learned that the Prophets are beings who live in the wormhole. Being non linear, they can see the past, present, and future. Throughout Bajour's history, they sent visions of what's to come to some Bajoureans. Now Captain Sisko is their basic link to Bajour. Sisko also found a legendary lost city on Bajour. In the series finale, he helps to defeat the evil Prophets, The Pa'Wraiths, and was rewarded by joining the Prophets in the Celestrial Temple. Though he left his son, new wife, and unborn child behind, Sisko will still be helping others in the universe as needed.

DS9's security guard is a changeling. He was sent to learn about the galaxy when he was a baby. He was studied and eventually made head guard on Terek Nor. When it became DS9, he became head of security. Once he learned what his people were doing, he turned against them. In the finale, he returned to his home world, to cure his people of a fatal virus, and teach them to live in peace with the solids (nonchangelings).

Starfleet now has its first Ferangi going to the Academy. They might also be working on a treaty with the Ferangi.

Q has visited the station before. DS9 has also lead to the spin off of Voyager.

DS9 lasted only 7 years, but movies about some of the characters might be made.

TVPG

Voyager is about a new Starfleet ship, that went off after some missing Marquis, and was taken to the Delta Quadrant (the other side of the galaxy.) Teaming up with the Marquis, Voyager is forced to destroy the only means home. Now stranded 70 years from home, Voyager explores the Delta Quadrant, while trying to find a short cut home.

Voyager features new aliens, some friends, some enemies. The first season had the Kazon and Viidians. The Kazon spread word that Voyager was evil, and out to destroy everyone. This made it hard for Voyager to find help when needed. The Viidians were suffering from a deadly disease called the Phage. They would go around harvesting body parts to help them live longer. Both of these aliens were left behind as Voyager headed closer to home. Then trouble arose when Voyager entered Borg space. Fortunately, the Borg inadvertently crossed paths with a species form another dimension, capable of resisting. So Voyager and the Borg entered an agreement. Voyager helped them fight their new enemy, and the Borg wouldn't assimilate Voyager. This agreement also lead to the freeing of one Borg, who joins the crew as they head home, and she tried to recover her lost humanity. 4 Borg Children, three of whom return home, were also freed. The last great enemy faced was the Hirogen. A race of Hunters, Hirogen pursued Voyager as they tried to hunt the crew down. Voyager finally won after one Hirogen decided to use Voyager's holo technology to make a new civilization. Though the Borg stills how up from time to time.

Eventaully, a Starfleet scientist helps establish communications with Voyager (30,000 light years away). At first it's only in messages every 30 days. Then 2 way video conferencing. Finally, a future version of Captain Janeway travels back in time, and helps Voyager destroy a Borg Trans Warp Nexus Point (a gateway to many places throughout the Galaxy), kill the Borg Queen, and finally return Voyager home.

Voyager also feature s a holographic doctor. After the real doctor is killed, the Emergency Medical Hologram doctor is used, and he takes over full time. He now has gone beyond his original programming, constantly improving, and evolving past the usual range and limits of most holograms. He also starts standing up for Hologram Rights.

Q has appeared on Voyager three times, and now has a son, the first Q born in the Q Coninuum.

This is the first Star Trek series not created by the late Gene Rodenberry (who created the franchise.)

Stargate SG1 picks up a few years after the movie left of. The Stargate is in storage when it is sudenly actviated from off world. An army of Go'ould (humans inhabited by snake like aliens) take the soldiers there prisoner. Col. Jack O'Neil is called back to deal with this menace, and 10 SG teams are created to explore the word, using the Stargate to travel to other planets. O'Neil reteams up with Dr. Daniel Jackson, who's wife was taken from his new home world by the Go'ould (Later, she is killed). The SG teams land on planets where humans from various time periods were kidnapped too, and their societies never change. A Jafa (humans who keep developing Go'oulds safe in return for long life and increased healing abilities) revolts form his leader Apopsis, and joins O'Neil and Jackson.

Along their journeys, SG1 learns that the Go'oulds have been posing as ancient Earth gods, kill 2 more Go'oulds (RA was the first, in the movie), stop an invasion of Earth, gain allies, and meet up with an alien race posing as the Asgods (The Roswellians, who in real life crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.) The Asgods are also fighting the Go'ould, along with 4 other races. Unfortunately, all of Sg1's meddling has made the Go'ould very angry, and an agreement is reached that allows humans to continue exploring the universe, though any Go'oulds who catch them will kill them. Also, there's the Tokra, good Go'ould who have joined with humans, the Nox, a peaceful race, and the Tolen, who have advanced technology.

Stargate is currently in it's 4th season, and will have completed it's 88th episode by the time it's contract runs out.

VR.5 is about a woman, Sydney, who finds she can enter people's subconscious through virtual reality, and influence them. Her friend Duncan also possesses this power. Sydney also finds herself forced to join a mysterious organization, out to learn the secret of VR.5 (VR.5 is the fifth level of virtual reality, supposedly capable of simulating reality perfectly.)

As time goes on, Sydney learns that her father figured out how to achieve VR.5, and long ago did something to her, her sister and mother, and Duncan, to enable them to enter VR.5. Sydney also learns the truth behind her haunting nightmare of the night her sister and dad were killed, and her mom overdoses on something. It seems that her dad had to destroy all evidence of VR.5, and so erased the kids' memories of it all. One night, some men came, and kidnapped the father and sister. So her mom tried to replace these horrific memories with happy ones, but something goes horribly wrong. Her mom's consciousness is trapped in the computer, and a horrible memory of Sydney's dad and sister being killed is implanted in her mind.

Sydney also finds her dad (who gets killed), and her sister, Samantha. Samantha tells a different story of that fateful night (and believes her mom and sister were killed), and together with Duncan, they all go into VR.5, and learn the full story of what really happened. The series ends with Sydney going into the computer to rescue her mother. She succeeds, but at the cost of trapping herself inside VR.5.

The X-Files is about two FBI agents who investigate cases that were deemed unsolvable. These cases involve the paranormal. They also stumble upon the government's conspiracy about aliens.

The two good guys consist of:

Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder - He is a believer in aliens and the paranormal. He got this belief many years ago, when he was just a kid. One night, his sister, Samantha, was abducted by aliens. Ever since then, he has been a believer, and has tried to track her down. Mulder is also trying to uncover the alien conspiracy, so he can tell the world the truth.

Agent Dana Scully - She is was assigned to work with Mulder to brief the head honchos on his activities, and to try and debunk all the paranormal goings on. She is a doctor, and was abducted by aliens, who implanted a device into her neck, which, when removed, gave her an incurable cancer. Not a believer, she has come around a bit on the paranormal.

Director Skinner - Mulder and Scully's boss. He gives them assignments, and tries to figure out the rational explanation to explain tot he power that be. he also knows one of the chief bad guys.

The Lone Gunmen - 3 computer experts who are Mulder's friends, and secret weapon. They help analyze evidence and find info on people. They were formed in 1990, when they first met Mulder, and stumbled onto a government conspiracy. They are in it to learn the truth, and to tell it to the world.

The bad guys consist of:

The Cigarette Smoking Man - AKA CSM, the Cancer Man, CGB Spender. He is working for the Syndicate. He knows all about the conspiracy, and is part of it. He is dying of lung cancer, and is actually a good friend of the Mulders (well, the parents anyway.) CSM also knows the true whereabouts of Samantha. He is also the one who shot President Kennedy.

Alex Krycek - Mulders partner when Scully was abducted. He has turned against the FBI, and is now working for the Syndicate.

The Syndicate - The head bad guys. They are the ones who started the whole alien conspiracy, to protect the truth. Not much is known about them. One guys is called the Well Manicured Man. These are the guys who sit in dark, smoke filled rooms, and determine what should be covered up. They are working with the alien colonists, and create UFO abductions as part of their plan to help the Alien Colonists out, and to cover up the truth, by creating misinformation, and making UFO believers seem crazy. They are secretly working against the Aliens to save the human race from extinction.

The Alien Colonists - Aliens who want to colonize the Earth. They are working with the Syndicate, and are causing the whole conspiracy. They have never been shown, except possibly in small, quick glimpses, looking much like the Roswellians. They have been wanting to colonize Earth for years, but the Ice Age and the Roswell Incident have prevented this so far. They use the Black Oil to conquer other races. They have agreed to let the Syndicate try and create human/alien hybrids to use as slave labor.

The Black Oil - AKA Purity. The essence of the Alien Colonists, which they use to conquer other worlds. It arrived on Earth millions of years ago, even before the dinosaurs rose to dominate the Earth. Surviving until the Ice Age, it could infect a host body, and take over it, showing itself only as a black fog over their eyes. Once the Ice Age came, it went into hibernation under what would one day become northern Texas. But in the present, it has mutated, and now once inside a host, it gestates into a new alien life form, which kills it's host. So instead of turning everyone into a slave race, it will destroy everyone. What's worse, the attempts to find a cure have lead to an easy mass spreading of the Black Oil. Since it is the essence of the Alien Colonists, the mutation seems to have caused the essence to clone itself into an alien (my theory).

The Alien Rebels - A group of aliens who resisting the Alien Colonists.

Besides the usual dealings with headless men who come to life, killer dolls, vampires, rogue AI computers, etc. there is an ongoing story line dealing with the alien conspiracy. Each season ender deals with a bit more of the story. Here now is what I have pieced together from what has been revealed about that story line:

There are alien colonists working with a secret branch of the government (The Syndicte). They need clones and bees for something (Chris Carter, the creator of X-Files, says the bees will be used in an unsuspecting way. I think they are clones bees.) They also plan on killing off the human race before colonization begins. Meanwhile, the government has been abducting people and implanting small metal things in the back of their necks. They pretend to be aliens to cover this up, and have hypnotized people to believe they were seeing aliens the whole time. If the metal devices are removed, an incurable cancer is released (though the gov does have the cure.) If it remains, the gov can control the abductees, and bring them anywhere they want. I think it has something to do with mind control. When abducting women, they remove some of their eggs. This resulted in Scully finding out she has a daughter (since the cancer prevented her from having children.) Unfortunately, the girl was very sick, and died. On top of all that, some aliens are against the plan, and have killed the people the government gathered through the metal devices.

To make things even more confusing, it turns out that Samantha was abducted by the government, and her own father. Adding to Mulder's misery besides learning that his own dad helped the gov abduct Samantha, is the fact that Mulder was the original choice. Of course, to keep Mulder at a loss, he has run into many people claiming to be his sister. Most were clones. Some where child versions of her. And once, CSM claimed to have the real deal. Worse yet, Mulder's dad was killed by the people he worked for, so everything he knew will remain a secret until Mulder can find someone else involved with his sister's abduction. Whatever the real fate of Samantha is, I get the impression it has to do with the alien colonists, and their need for clones.

There are more aliens out there. The Syndicate, while working with other countries, have a policy to kill all live aliens on the planet (except the colonists.) plus, there is some sort of alien disease thing too. It was first shown as an alien stranded on Earth, and trying to return to its ship to go home. It was a black, oil like thing, that could posses people. You could only tell it inhabited someone by the black cloud that ran over their eyes occasionally. Nowadays, it is a diseases that humans have just found a cure for. The Russians have a lot of it, and run experiments on people, and more of the stuff is lying all over the planet.

The fifth season ended with the Agents involved in a case of a 12 year old chess player, who can read people's minds. Besides the fact that people want him dead, tests have lead Scully and Mulder to the conclusion that he holds the secret to all of the X-Files (something to do with an area of the brain humans are first beginning to understand), and that he is proof that humans are descended from alien astronauts. This has lead to talks of closing down the X-Files (which happened once already), and something far worse. The bad guys now have the boy, and CSM has burned down Mulder's office, destroying all of the X-Files, and stealing the one on Samantha. This story line was continued in the 6th season.

Between the 5th and 6th season was the X-Files movie: The X-Files: Fight The Future. It revealed the whole alien conspiracy. It began with Mulder and Scully now on the bomb squad, investigating a bomb sighting in Dallas, Texas. Mulder discovers the bomb in a different building, and the bomb squad leader does nothing to stop the explosion, which kills him, a firefighter, and a little boy. While the blame is being passed to Scully and Mulder, the Syndicate learns their plan is in jeopardy. A scientist contacts Mulder, and alerts him to the fact that the bombing was part of a conspiracy to cover up the fact that the firefighter ad boy were already dead. This facts leads Scully and Mulder back to Dallas, Texas, where they discover a lab, much like the one Mulder once went to, that was filled with clones of his missing sister. There, they are attacked by bees, and chased through a corn field. Escaping and returning home, Scully is stung by a stowaway bee, and becomes gravely ill. Strange men take her, and shoot Mulder. Escaping from the hospital, Mulder meets up with The Well Manicured Man, a member of the Syndicate. He reveals what is going on.

Apparently, an alien life form came to Earth millions of years ago. It was the black oil. It lasted until the ice age, when alien colonists came to Earth. Since the black oil was like a virus to them, they spent millennia's trying to find a cure, while the virus went into stasis to survive the ice age. Eventually, the colonists teamed up with a group of humans, who became the Syndicate. Together, they learned that the only hope of survival for both races was to make human/alien clones. These hybrids alone are immune to the black oil. Having learned this, Mulder's dad kidnapped Samantha to use as a clone, in order to help everyone survive.

Unfortunately, the virus has not only revived, but mutated. Instead of enslaving it's host, it now gestates inside the host, and in only a short while becomes a whole new life form, which bursts out of it's host (thus killing the host), and still continues to develop. Now, the Syndicate is in big trouble. If the alien colonists learn there's a cure, the Syndicate will be destroyed, as their usefulness is at an end. Also, the mutant oil can now destroy all life on the planet. It would become the plague to end all plagues. Mainly since it is grown in corn, to help find the cure, and can easily be spread by bees or the blowing wind. The Well Manicured Man also gives Mulder a cure for Scully, tells him where she is, then blows himself up in his car.

So now Mulder has to find a way to stop all this. But first, he must head to Antarctica, to rescue Scully. Once there, he stumbles into an alien space ship hidden beneath the ice, where Scully and many others are held captive. Giving Scully the cure, she expels the oil before it turns into an alien, but in doing so, the Syndicate members inside are alerted to their whereabouts. So, Mulder and Scully escape, just as the space ship takes off to parts unknown. The movie ends with the FBI not believing a word of what had happened, and the Cigarette Smoking Man receiving a telegram, saying the X-Files have been reopened.

The sixth season begins like how the movie ended, with the FBI reviewing Mulder and Scully's findings, and not believing them. So, they are reassigned while others get put on the X-Files. Mulder and Scully then track down the kidnapped 12 year old chess player, and rescue him, only to have a recently gestated Black Oil Alien capture him. And for the rest of the shown series, Mulder basically breaks the FBI rules and goes off on one X-File case after another, dragging Scully along, and getting them both into trouble with their new boss.

Then came the two part episode, Full Disclosure, where we learned the truth to the whole alien conspiracy. It also means that the Well Manicured Man lied to Mulder in the movie. Apparently back in 1947 evil aliens landed. They were bent on universal domination, and planned to wipe out humanity, and colonize the Earth. To this end, they use the source of their own life to infect others. This is called Purity, but is known to us as the Black Oil. So the Syndicate decided to work with them to produce human/alien hybrids to be used as slaves to the colonists. But it was secretly a delay tactic, thought up by Bill Mulder (Fox Mulder's dad). In reality, they planned to find a cure to Puirty. However, in order to do so, they had to sue the Alien's DNA. So a deal was made. The Syndictae gave up their wives and daughters in exchange for an Alien embryo, to work on creating the hybrids. When they hybrids were created, the Syndicate would receive the altered DNA, be safe form Purity, and be united with their loved ones. The Syndicate planning to find a cure, and use that knowledge to somehow retrieve their loved ones. Meanwhile, alien rebels also arrived, bent on stopping the colonists. In order to withstand the effects of the Black Oil, they scarred their eyes, nose, and mouth. This kept them from being infected, and gave rise to their description as the Faceless Alien Rebels. Once they offered an alliance tot he Syndicate. Some of them wanted to join, such as Bill Mulder. Others realized that resistance was futile, and so they continued to stall. Meanwhile, Purity was kept in the cornstalks to be spread by bees. Once the virus was spread, a State of Emergency would be declared, then the invasion would begin. And so the years went by, with the Syndictae abducting more people to experiment on, under the guise of aliens, until three major events happened in the late 1990's.

First, the Syndicate found a cure. Which meant big trouble if the Colonists ever found out. Secondly, the virus then mutated, making the cure useless. Finally, the Sydicate accidentally succeeded in making an alien/human hybrid. Realizing that there was nothing more they could do, they resigned themselves to the fact that colonization was ready to begin. Fortunately, the Rebels learned of this development too. They stole the Alien Embryo, and killed the people waiting to be merged. Seemingly, the Syndicate was destroyed too, save for CSM and Krycek.

Also, some of what the Well Manicured Man revealed was true. The Colonists had been on Earth before. In my opinion, they arrived shortly before the Ice Age, and spread Purity around to enslave the cavemen, who were around at that time, and then kill them. But the Ice Age caused them to abandon the Earth, and the Black Oil went into hibernation. Then, in 1947, they returned, and humans learned the truth in the Roswell Incident. They apparently were given 26 years to decide what to do, in which time the Rebels also offered their help. And after choosing to make hybrid slaves, the Colonists patiently waited for the clones to be made, while Black Oil appeared here and there during the search for a cure. And the Rebels would stop any progress made on hybrids by killing the abductees occasionally. Also, in the Movie, the hibernating Purity is revived, and mutates under the hot Texan sun. As for the sunken ship with Black Oil in it, that is still unknown. As is why the Syndicate makes clones of people.

Now that the only successful hybrid is dead, as is the Syndicate, and the Alien Embryo taken by the Rebels, no one knows what will happen next, or when the Colonists will invade.

The season ends with a strange alien relic having an even stranger attraction to the Bible. Though supposedly a fake, Mulder begins to be affected by it, slowly going insane. Scully gets a translation, and learns the alien artifact contains a passage from the Bible. Meaning aliens gave us the Bible (more evidence of aliens creating humans.) She travels to Africa (One piece was found in South America, the other in Africa, and that makes sense since the two continents were once connected), and discovers a spaceship under the water.

The seventh season begins with Scully trying to translate the strange writing found on the alien spaceship. She discovers it contains prophecies and other religious text, proving more and more that aliens created humans, and gave us our religions. She also discovers a complete listing of every chromosome of the human body, i.e., the Human Genome. Even more proof. Unfortunately, strange happenings result from her meddling, such as boiling water, and swarming locusts. Scully also sees a mysterious man who suddenly appears and disappears. He tells her that this truth is not for her.

Meanwhile, Mulder recognizes his insanity, and asks Skinner to bring the one man who can help him. It appears that aliens have given him psychic powers, ESP really, and this has caused a side affect discovered in humans given the same powers. He gets treatment, but the doctors catch him, and put a stop to it. And refuse to treat him because they don't know what's wrong with him.

The Cigarette Smoking Man shows up, and tells Mulder he's his father. He injects Mulder, curing him, and takes him away. It turns out, Mulder got infected by an alien virus years ago, and the artifact reactivated it. However, it seems to offer him an immunity to Purity. So the Syndicate (still around after all) transfers some of this immunity to CSM. Meanwhile, Mulder is dreaming of a more happier life, a very long and fulfilling one. Scully gets a book that seems to explain the alien writing, and is also told where to find Mulder. She arrives, and tries to wake Mulder, while in his dream, she tells him that the threat is still real. In fact, while dream Mulder lays dying, the alien invasion is well underway. It's really his mind trying to bring him back, and finally he wakes up, and goes home, unaware of what really happened.

Nov. 28, 1999: Mulder and Scully finally kiss. Woo Hoo!

Mulder also finally learns what happened to his sister. A police psychic helps him find out that she was living with the Cigarette Smoking Man, and eventually she ran away, at age 14, to avoid experiments done to her. Ending up at a hospital, walk in spirits take her, and transform her into a ghost. In the end, Samantha and Mulder hug, and he finally lays his greatest trouble to rest.

So, putting this together with everything else, apparently, the mystery of Samantha's abduction is as follows: Aliens plan to colonize Earth, and destroy humans, using their deadly life essence, known as Purity. A group of humans known as the Syndicate, strike a deal to create hybrids of the two races, while secretly trying to develop a cure. The aliens demand the Syndicate's women folk be used in the process, and Bill Mulder kidnaps Samantha. Eventually, she goes to live with Bills good friend GBC Spender (CSM). Still being experimented on (And eventually cloned), she runs away at age 14, and in a hospital, is rescued by spirits who take kids out of deadly situations, and make em ghosts. She's been happily after living with other youths ever since.)

Why she never returned home is a mystery. I think Bill wanted Mulder to try and find her, so he could blow the whole alien invasion story big time, which he eventually does, and stops the invasion. For now. It is unknown if a new invasion is planned.

The 7th Season ends with lots of abductees form a small town being taken aboard an alien ship, and Mulder goes with them. Scully, meanwhile, is pregnant, though she's supposed to be barren.

The 8th season finds Scully partnered with John Dogget, who was assigned to Mulder's disapearance case, then reassigned to the X-Files. Scully has become the new believer (and she sucks at it, trying to be Mulder), and Dogget refuses to believe any of it. Even that Mulder was abducted, despite Assistant Director Skinner's eyewitness account. Mulder is eventually returned, seemingly dead, but Scully saves him.

Scully's baby might or might not be Mulder's, or might or might not be an alien child. The season will cliffhanger, and resume either next season, or in a new movie if The X-Files is not renewed. This season also tends to be more on the paranormal events (metal men, beings who can take your sickness away, mind masters who can make you see what they want, etc), and not just aliens. A good idea.

Mulder is found, and dies. But the aliens are reviving their dead abductees, and they are reborn as alien replacements. Scully figures this out, and saves Mulder from a similar fate. Alive again, Mulder is kicked off the X-Files, but still joins in on the cases. In the end, the alien replacements are after Scully's baby, who is supposedly a super human, and was somehow implanted with the tracking device during her abduction (the one that gave her the cancer, though still no clear, final word on the father). Skinner kills Krychek, and Scully delivers a healthy baby boy, named William (after Mulder's dad). She and Mulder kiss again. Mulder is also the dad.

The ninth and final season just plain sucked. Scully's on maternity leave, and so Dogget is partnered with Monica Reyes. Mulder has uncharacteristically fled DC to save his life. Yeah right! Interestingly, William Scully is revealed to be an alien human hybrid, and he seems to have telekinetic powers. Though CSM's son, and Mulder's half brother Jeffry Spender injects him with soemthing that's supposed to stop his alien side, Scully gives William up for adoption to keep him forever safe, and prevent him from leading the aliens.

The series end with Mulder on trial for killing a super soldier, which are alien replacements for humans. After tying together the whole alien agenda, it is revealed they plan to invade on Dec. 22, 2012 (the year the Mayans have predicted the end of the world), and Mulder is a fugitive, still clinging to hope.

Finally, I'd like to reveal the origin of the name, The X-Files. Long ago (before Mulder was even born, and when his dad worked for the gov), any case deemed unsolvable (not to be confused with was unsolvable), was stored in the U's, for unsolved. Eventually, it got so filled up with cases, that they ran out of room. However, there was plenty of room in the X's. Quite frankly, I find this a big let down for the name. The show was about mysterious stuff, so you'd think the name implies mystery too. Not because the cases were filed under U for unsolved, and they ran out of room.

This is a British sci fi comedy. It is about David Lister, the last survivor of a mining ship, who, because of smuggling his cat aboard the ship Red Dwarf, was put into stasis for a while (stasis blocks time like lead blocks X-rays, so he didn't age.) Unfortunately, a radiation leak kills the other crew members, which results in his being kept in stasis for 3 Million years. Reawakened, he is joined by Holly, the ship's computer; Arnold Rimmer, a hologram of his dead roommate; The Cat, the last evolved descendant of his cat, Frankenstien; and Kryton, an android picked up from another ship. Together, they travel back towards Earth, not knowing if it's even there, or if humanity still rules. Along the way, they run into trouble from aliens.

The show lasted 6 seasons, at 6 episodes a piece. The series ended with the Red Dwarf entering this cloud thingie, that made the worse things imaginable come true. Having left it, they meet up with another Red Dwarf, this one claiming to be from the future, and in dire need of their help. Refusing, Red Dwarf comes under attack by it's future self, and the future ship seems to blow up it's past self. I feel that most likely, they never left the cloud, and that whole ending never really happened. It was all because of the cloud (plus their future selves weren't in the best shape, either).

There was supposed to be a seventh season (hence proving my theory on the last of the sixth), but I think that never happened. The American version (featuring two guys, and two girls, instead of four guys) never made it out either. Also, the actor playing Holly eventually left (I heard he got married and moved away), and was replaced by a women. Since Holly had many faces programmed into itself, it is quite easy for the image to go from a man to a woman, and for the voice to follow suit.

Voyagers is about a group of people who help keep history on track. They use a small device called an Omni to travel through time, and detect any problems in history. A red light means their help is needed, a green light means everything is as it should be. The latest recruit is Phineas Bogg, a pirate. A malfunction in his watch lands him in 1982, in the home of 12 year old Jeffrey Jones. Jeffrey's dog destroys Phineas's instruction manual, and Jeffrey accidentally falls out the window. The only way to save him is for Phineas to take him through time. However, without his manual, they become lost in time. They continue to keep history right on track, while searching for a way to return to 1982.

In one episode, they arrive back at Voyagers headquarters, where Phineas is given a new instruction manual. Returning to 1982, Jeffrey's dog once again gets a hold of the instructions, falls out the window himself, and the two become lost in time once more.

TVY7

Animporphs is about 5 teens who are given the ability to morph into animals by the alien Elfangore. He gave them the powers to stop the evil, parasitic, bug like Yeerks, an alien race who crawls into the ears of others, and takes over their minds. This makes the host a Controller. You can't tell them apart from free beings. Posing as a free being, the Yeerks then slowly take over the planet. Only by morphing do the Animorphs stand a chance against the Yeerks.

However, there are rules to the morphs. You can't morph from one animal to the next. And you must not stay morphed for more than 2 hours. Or else you'll remain stuck in the morph forever. So naturally, one Animorph gets stuck as a hawk. However, he does eventually gain the ability to temporarily regain his human form. He also learns that he is actually the son of Elfangor.

Fortunately, Elfangor's younger brother Aximili Essgarouth Isthill (conveniently called Ax for obvious reasons of course), comes to Earth, and teams up with the Animorphs. He helps teach them about morphing, and the problems that come with it, i.e., having an allergic reaction to an animal's DNA recently acquired for a morph. They also learn that Elfangor broke his people's most scared rule by giving them the power to morph. An Andalite must never reveal too much about themselves, or their people to others. But most importantly, they must never give out their technology. This is the Law Of Seero's Kindness. This was created after Prince Seero caused major trouble by taking pity on a technologically unadvanced race. Feeling sorry for them, he gave them the secret to space flight. This race was the Yeerks! Now they're trying to conquer the universe, and the Andalites' forces are spread to thin. The Animorphs also learn that the Andalites won't reach Earth until after it's been conquered. So they have no choice but to stop the Yeerks themselves.

Fortunately, the Animorphs have some advantages. The Yeerks do not know their really human. They think the Animorphs are Andalites trying to stop them. This makes them a bit more cautious and fearful. And as time goes on, the Animorphs learn the Yeerks' few weaknesses. They must leave their host after 3 days, to re-energize in special pools. Or else die. Also, Oatmeal breaks their hold over their hosts. The Animorphs also meet an alien with holographic capabilities, and he assumes a human form and the name Erek.

But the Yeerks hold some advantages too. Like control of the vicious Hork-Bajir, and very powerful alien animal morphs. They have paranoia on their side, as you never know who's a Yeerk, and who isn't. Plus, several Controllers are family to the Animorphs. Seeing their loved ones every day, but knowing they have been taken over by the Yeerks is heart wrenching. Especially for one Animorph, who recently discovered that not only is his dead mother actually alive, but she is now the Yeerk leader.
