S4 Episode 13: "Lab Rat"

[Mewberries151]

Now that this is finally available for viewing (What's this? Kabillion came through on something? )... I suppose it's time for an official thread to discuss it on.

So post your comments, fangasms, and criticisms here.

Oh, and for those who haven't seen the link yet, Lab Rat can be viewed here.

Enjoy guys!

I think that that was one of my favorite episodes of Season Four.

Too bad it's all over now...

Liked the "Gift," subplot. Nice without being too cheesy.

The combat on Lyoko was amazing. Truly top-notch!

We again see Code: XANA. However, this time it's not being used for sector destruction, but instead for the possession of XANA's towers.

In all, I'm glad to have finally seen it.

Aww, Aelita let Jeremie pick her birthday! You can't tell me that's not adorable.

YAY! Soo adorable!Too bad it wasn't solved in the rest of season 4...
Anyway - interesting episode, can't wait to see it in English!(unfortunately I'm not from the US )
EDIT: I finally watched it. Amazing. I can rest in peace now
Odd: "Don't look at me with that tone of voice" ?

I watched this episode in French before this, so it was nothing new.
But I really liked this one anyways =) I think everyone looks cute in their Earth/Lyoko suits.
I wasn't really sure why they banned it in the first place...

[Carth]

They didn't ban it. It was just next before they changed CL's timeslot, so maybe it got lost in the shuffle. We may never know. O.O

I also saw this in...uh, I think it was Hebrew...but it was great to finally see it in English. Sadly enough for its delay, it's one of S4's best. It had romantic tension (the Ulrich/Yumi subplot was adorable!), lulz (Odd seems like just the type to throw fish at people), and the Replika action didn't look as fake or pasted on as it does in other episodes (like the space one). Awesome in a can. A can that's finally been opened.

Well, we've seen it all. Some time or another, I'd like to watch all the episodes in a row, just to get a refresher on what happened, and see how the series itself has progressed. That'd be a sight.

Did anyone find it amusing when Kiwi ended up getting a beautiful necklace, and Yumi unwrapped her gift to fine a rubber dog bone?? You could see in her face that she was a little confused. The flying sole was awesome! The lyoko sequences were superb!!!! Encore!

That was teh funnahest part.

At least there wasn't any actual cursing in this episode, because I saw a lot of cursing in both the Hebrew and French fansubbed versions of this episode. :/

This is definitely by far my favorite episode of Season 4. Except the whole "Energizing" vs. "Translation" thing is a little...confusing, because in French it's Translation (which I think it should be), but in English it's Energizing/Teleportation. Which I think they already used for the teleportation into the Skidbladnir from the Transporter Spots in the Hangar. =/

One of the best CL episodes of Season 4.
It was awesome to watch a "new" CL episode after all this time-- felt like old times again.

Jeremy picking Aelita's birthday? Hehehe..

And all of us can't forget the awesome screen shot of-- *shot by Carth*

[JesusFreak offline]

Carth was in Lab Rat?! O.o



Um...yeah.

What really got across to me was the Tower Music with guitars. Yes.

[TB3]

Ah, to know what Aelita's birthday was (you'd think though that since they threw her a party with cake on October 10th 2005 that that date was as good as any, but it seems Master Belpois has other ideas...I just wish he'd share them with the rest of us! )

They released it in English??? Finally!! *runs to watch, fights with Kabillion, then heads over to Youtube*

Odd: "Spiders don't attack unless you sit on them."

Aelita: "XANA's got an activated tower. That means he's up to something around the supercomputer." THIS is actually useful info for me now. I never picked it up in any of the subs. For a long time I wondered why XANA didn't use a replica tower to attack the kids at Kadic to make it even harder for them to deactivate. Now I know. This is why you don't <s>dump</s> lose on of the key S4 episodes, CN.

Anyway, good action, good story, good plot (Ulrich begging after Yumi >:-D Mwahahahaaa!). Nice dosage of William, nice dosage of William pwning the gang, and Code XANA. How often does that happened? It was a great episode.

TL...? Nice to see you too, JesusFreak. :3

She sounds like a smart girl.

I like this episode. Even though i saw it in Hebrew back on LOD (for those of you who've never ben to Tech Links, Lyoko on Demand), and in French on Youtube, it isn't old.
I really liked when Yumi got a dog bone and Kiwi got a necklace XP.
Also, when William was coming, the third tarantula sounded... strange. Almost as if XANA fed it helium.

[MewmiC offline]

Finally it's in English! Yay!

Well I have to say that was really good, I haven't watched an episode since it ended so it was nice to have a reason to watch it again . I missed the VAs and there performances. Odd's just as funny as ever and the gift subplot was well done without being to overbearing.

Action on Lyoko was really nice and I liked how Yumi was animated while dodging William's sword. You'd think he'd get tired swinging that thing around like that

I really wished that this episode aired sooner, now if only CartoonNetwork would air this one and the last seven

Just watched this after a long, long, long time.

At the time, I remember thinking that the unofficial Hebrew translation made watching CL silghtly more entertaining with the cursing added there, lol.

The episode was kinda boring during the first half, but the second half was actually pretty good. The final scene with Yumi's present was actually funny.

Pancakes.

[Stonecreek]

Pancakes.

It's been so long; I can neither verify or deny that "pancakes" have anything to do with this episode.

[drpdrp97 offline]

Kiwi ate pancakes for breakfast.
