oh poo,the video won't load. arggg. =/

Mine loaded, but I got an error message. Where's a supercomputer when you need one?

Hmmm...if you haven't yet, try using the "right click > Save Target As" procedure, and use the link provided at the forum page I linked to. That's what worked for me.

Also, make sure you have a program that can view AVI files, as that's what this one is.

I hope this helps. ^^

So....I have nothing better to do than waste my time on the computer,

How was your days Lyoko Freaks?

*shot again*

Anyway, Based on the posts of Mews, I suppose "Aelita" will be a good episode.
(I wonder if they switched writers, because when shows switch writers, the sohw goes down hill. I hope this is not the case. I'm still trying to get over the Garbage thing....)

[Evil Ulrich offline]

Good.

Ditto, but I have some problems with the audio. Other than that, the video works fine to me. Brilliant quality image.

The episode got me intrigued with the Aelita/Franz scenes, but the real life scenes were a bit stale. Odd's feet stinking... well, more material for all the Odd haters out there. I would have cracked up if Aelita would have told Odd something about his smell at the old house.

Lyoko scenes were good. All the flashback scenes were good, but I don't feel that happy about watching this episode. I'll give this episode another shot when it airs in English.

OHSNAP. You have to download it? That shucks- I can't download stuff. DDx

Looking at posts here, it seems like a decent episode. But it has an... uninteresting feel, though. (Probably because I just watched Princess Mononoke and didn't like how it ended xD;;)

Or something like that.

[TB3]

I myself was very pleased with this ep for it's sheer Aelita-ness - she showed such variety in this - her normal behaviour, anger, vulnerability, smug confidence (when she was able to put the SCIPIO prompt on a timer) and her new badassedity

And I am intrigued by the Franz scenes - based on what we saw I think there's still more to be told here, because although that tower probably is the same one she woke up in, the episode doesn't explain how she lost her memory or how Franz became a prisoner.

I reckon these scenes will be seen again at some point and extended...hopefully.

And yay! Some lines for Paul Bandey - I eagerly look forward to more technobabble from Lyoko's creator

I also note (though it took the cl.net forums to alert me beforehand) the class lecture was on 'Ragnarok' - the Norse tale of the downfall of the old gods and the end of the world - I like this new habit of putting a degree of thematic exposition in the staff's mouths (Hertz on the forest and now a metaphor for the events in Lyoko of June 6th 1994).

Also note, now that we know avatars are derived from the user's mind - why does Franz have such a...devine-looking form on Lyoko? - the one explanation I have is that his encroaching insanity, coupled with the fact that he had created an entire world, lead him to think he was Lyoko's God - hence his appearance.

Glad Odd and Emily don't get together, the only ones I can see him with are Aelita or Sissy (of course, either way there's going to be an angry nerd coming after him, Jeremy or Herve! )

Yes! Hopper's alive...he's aliiiiiiive! Can't wait to see more of him!

[Rail Runner offline]

I always love seeing Franz...its just the mysteriousness of him. I cant wait to see how the mystery is solved though.

I was just trying to help the members load episode 57 Blue

[Darkborn offline]

Yes, I can see that. But it is considered rude to barge into a conversation. I would just like to ask you to post a Newbie topic so we can get to know you.

O I see, sorry for barging ! please please!! continue with the episode 57 conversation.

Now this may be the entire language barrier acting up, but did Aelita seem to be acting more on impulse and emotion than usual? From what I could infer based upon the visuals and tone of voice, just seemed like she got upset about something most likely relating to her father, than storms off and gets Odd to run with her a secret mission behind the rest of the gang's back. The scene just before the they jumped on the elevator seemed like it was Jeremie playing the voice of reason, to bring her down to Earth, which is I find interesting because usually its the other way around. I guess it surprises me a bit more, because I've been reviewing Season 1 episodes, and sometimes the difference between the two Aelitas is astonishing and sometimes frightening.

But then again, I can be completely off base and should be ignored entirely, because I can't speak French nor familiar with it. My high school language arts elective was Spanish. Although it does bring up my previous suggestion for a partial season-wide rift between Jeremie and Aelita. Eh, I'll know by Tuesday.

[Rail Runner offline]

If thats the case, this will be the first incident of Aelita not acting logical and just doing something on impulse...from what I can gather from your statement. This should be interesting.

[animenologist offline]

Actually, there have been multiple times where she acted out on emotion or impulse, instead of patient logic and reason. Unchartered Territory, Missing Link, Deja Vu, and The Key. I just thought this episode was a bit more, what word do I want to use ... extreme? compared to the other times. Guessing its a continuation of her feeling like a normal emotional human, instead of a logic-driven mechanical AI.

[Rail Runner offline]

Thats what I was trying to say, that it was more extreme than her previous actions.

Franz, God of Lyoko? I kinda like it. I think so far it just falls into another one of those "We'll never really know" moments. The fact that Franz shut off the computer though is the first new real backstory information in a while, and I'm glad to have it. As for Odd dating Emily, if it happened I seem to have missed it. I thought I caught him just being rejected by gals. I'm one of those holding out irrationally for OddxSissi anyway, so I hope I didn't miss something. Episode ended on a strange note. They found Hopper's vDNA? Wonder where they go with that.

I said it over on TL already, but whoever provided this rip is amazing, such quality in a small package for an avi.

Actually, this is a genuine case of Aelita being emotional when she honestly has every right to.

I've been able to catch most of the conversation, and with LyokoCode's synopsis help, the reason why Aelita gets so upset and storms off is perfectly justified in my opinion.

See, during the conversation in the cafeteria, Aelita asks Jeremie something to the extent if he's been able to find any trace of her father on Lyoko.

Jeremie responds to the extent that he hasn't and that he doesn't think they will.

Aelita is shocked by this and Jeremie explains that because Franz Hopper used all of his energy and power to revive her and Lyoko, he likely sacrificed his existence there as well (a sort of "life for a life", if you will).

He can see that Aelita's clearly getting upset at this, so in a desperate attempt to placate her...he says the wrong thing. ^^

What he says is that she shouldn't get upset. Franz wanted her to live. She can't live in the past, and she should look to the future instead.

Aelita responds with something that roughly translates to, "Easy for you to say. You weren't trapped in a computer program for years and years. I can't forget that."

True words...Jeremie hasn't even been to Lyoko. I know he meant well, but, it's kind of a bad idea to tell someone not to be upset...directly after you've just told them it's more than likely there father's gone for good. *sweatdrop*

So, Aelita's being emotional and upset in this scenario, isn't a sign of her impulsiveness...more just her humanity.

Plus, from the flashbacks, her father clearly asks her "Never to forget". So obviously, being asked to do the opposite will make her a bit touchy.

She goes to Lyoko to try and check Sector 5's database, since if there's anywhere Franz Hopper will be able to be found, it's through there. It ends up being a good thing that they checked anyway, since XANA attacks Lyoko's heart again.

And...at the end of the episode, it looks like they do find a trace of Franz Hopper's genetic code.
