* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Because there was a chance the series could be renewed, the ending was deliberately vague. As a result, the series ends with [[spoiler:[[TheHero David]] having just come out of hitting bottom, and proceeded to mostly ignore him and leave him isolated, most likely because there wasn't enough length left to devote to building him back up. In addition, the Ka Anor plot ends up reading like a better foreshadowed, lighter version/prelude to the Animorphs' BolivianArmyEnding.]]
