S4 Episode 18: Hard Luck

[timekitten offline]

*snickers* Which reminds me incidentally, that I love that he actually brought up Odd's taste in fashion. I think that's the first time any of the adults have bothered to really make an audible comment about it, and possibly only the second time anyone ever has (as I believe Ulrich said something about it in "XANA Awakens" *snerks* ).

...Buuuuurrrrnnnnn... xD

I don't think it's the first time for Jim. lol

Jim: Do you really wanna know what has to be caught, Della Robbia? An idiot in a purple outfit and a dumb, ridiculous haircut and is gonna be in big trouble if he and his toy mouse don't get out of here pronto.

*sniggers* Poor, Poor Odd. Seven years off bad luck...>.<...oh snap. lol. Jim likes pink...^_^ I'm just gonna shut up right now before I start laughing again.
All in all, good ep. Yumi's fans look so cool on earth!!! Like pretty razorblades...O.o....

Did anyone else think that the Kankrelats in the real world seemed... downgraded?

I mean, compare them to the ones in "False Start." The animation was definately changed.

However, I do give them kudos for having the spinny-laser disk for laser charging, which earlier kankrelats did not.

[MewmiC offline]

Yeah the Kankrelats probably looked downgraded because of the animation, probably to show they were teleported and not actually materialized into the real world.

Also halfway through the episode they started calling XANA's supercomputer 'supercalculator'.

The best part of the episode for me was when Yumi crushed William with that large pillar. As much as I like William I can't help but laugh whenver a character gets cruched violently by something huge (that includes Odd and Yumi in Sector Five during season two). And Odd 'There's no such thing as luck!' haha, not only that but it's pretty apparent he's now getting a little desperate for a girlfriend, taking anything as a possibility that a girl might like him.

Hey, it sounds like they remixed the old battle music from seasons 1-3!

[Yumi Ulrich offline]

I have something to say to everyone. Never ever break a mirror! You saw what happened to Odd and everyone else. Not a good thing. I love the episode 10/10!

[Kamekai offline]

I don't know whether or not to post 7/10 or 0/10.

Actually, I'll do 7.5/10, rounded to 8/10. That last scene w/ Jim brought it up a notch.

"Isn't that a little to much?"
"...Probably... but, I'd rather not talk about it." GOLDEN.

Was I the only fan girl who though Ulrich looks hot throwing the fan?

I give this a 9/10. It would have been a 10/10 but uh, I missed it for three days. x\

Heh...no...no you weren't...

*runs off to get a screenshot of that*

Same here. xD

"Super calculator", eh? Haven't heard that since S1.

[JesusFreak offline]

I have to say, Ulrich fights quite differently on Earth. on Lyoko, he woulda just triplicated and diced these bugs.

[Cassius335 offline]

Maybe his triplicate power needs recoding for on Earth use?

Compared to the past episodes and this one not being a filler ('cause another Replika got destroyed), Hard Luck just felt kinda weak to me (but it isn't that bad like Double Take, Replika or IRNTAI). I'll tell you that it has many funny lines, but most of them end up being appealing for a younger audience, which is Moonscoop's target to entertain.

Also, the luck jokes got old real fast.

Cannot be quoted enough times for truth. There's only so far you can take something.

[Taelia offline]

To me, this episode was just AS bad as IRNTAI!

[JesusFreak offline]

Why?

[Taelia offline]

It just was, okay? The luck puns got old really fast, and the fact that Jim has a pink cell phone really makes me shudder. (Originally, he had a more manly mobile phone.)

*blinks* ...When have we ever seen his mobile other than in this episode?

(There's also nothing that says a person can't have a "work" cellphone and a "personal" mobile, for friends, family, etc., each with a different number.)

And for the record, I still find Jim having a pink cellphone hilarious, and quite awesome.

Real men like pink!

[MY85 offline]

Assuming it's really Jim's cellphone, maybe he's secure of his own sexuality.

Then again, maybe it's not Jim's cellphone and it was really Mrs. Hertz's mobile, but Jim pretended it was his only to not let Odd gossip about Jim having a crush on Hertz.

I can picture it, since I am a JimSuzanne supporter.

By the way, sorry to get off-topic but I like your "Jim is a retard" avvie. May I have a copy of it?

Sure... here. And it makes more sense if you wear this sig.

I had that sig once on LF, but since someone complained about their PCs getting slower, I took it down.


Now back to the Jim thing...

Odd: Azra?
Jim: No, it's Jim Morales.
Odd: Oh, sorry Jim. You see, I'm waiting to meet somebody, so if you don't mind...
Jim: It was you who found my cellphone.
Odd: (looks at the pink cellphone with hearts and pink sparkles) You mean it's yours?
Jim: Yeah, that's right. Why?
Odd: Because, I mean it's not your style.
Jim: Well, I'm pink. You got a problem with that? Look at the color that you wear all the time!
Odd:Yeah, but pink with sparkles and a heart charm on it? Isn't that a bit too much?
Jim: Probably.... (snatches the cellphone and walks away from Odd) but I'd rather not talk about it...


Quite funny IMO.

[Taelia offline]

*bursts out laughing* I agree with Odd. Pink is NOT Jim's style AT ALL. That cell phone looks more like it could really be Sissi's.

Nobody in Particular:


And according to the same episode, Suzanne has a redish black not so different from Yumi's phone before S4. But who knows, maybe the mobile broke and Jim replaced it with a pink one.

[Taelia offline]

I like his previous mobile better, to be honest.
