Remnants/Headscratchers


 * Mother was much bigger than the Rock, so why didn't it affect anything when it crashed? And why wasn't it later discovered in recorded history? Was it somehow hidden until after the Rock hit?
 * This Troper might need to go and recheck the books, but I thought that Mother crashed sometime after the Rock hit---in the centuries between the Earth's destruction and when everybody gets back. So, all sorts of stuff could have happened that wouldn't affect "modern" people.
 * The end of book 13 says "the Rock wouldn't hit Earth for centuries to come."
 * It could have to do with the speed. Mother wasn't traveling as fast as the Rock was when it hit Earth.
 * What happened to D-Caf? The epilogue didn't say a thing about him.
 * YES! He was This Troper's favorite character, but he was barely used at all...
 * What the heck is with all the plot holes?! Everybody gets superpowers, because...? There's something called the Ancient Enemy, which is...? Is This Troper the only one who suspects The Chris Carter Effect here?
 * Intentional Kudzu Plot, I think. Like A Series of Unfortunate Events.
 * So, they watched the earth get destroyed and shattered into small pieces, and later return to visit, and it got better, sorta. What happened?
