Here we are,
going far,
to write long analyses of a children's show...

:3. Yeah I'm nuts. Anyway. Code: Earth. The only title with that format, despite fanfic insistence, and also a pretty awesome episode/two parter/what have you. I hope it's as awesome as I remember, or I will be a sad Carth. I've enjoyed what I've rewatched so far, I dun wanna be disappoint.

<s>FIND THESE AND MORE AT TEC.XEMOC.NET</s>

Midnight at Kadic, and we come to Jeremie's room to find that the plot has paid a visit! Hi, plot! Green Plus Sign does not often come to this party. I'm glad he's here.

Yumi, stop being so naked all the time. But yay that the plot has paid her a visit as well.

Wow, Jeremie's so happy with his progress that he actually gets to sleep! This dream is so cute...he wants to meet Aelita again.

I love how he's so innocent and desperate to have contact with her that a single touch is enough to have sexy dreams about. Kinda like me and my boyfriend. D:

I love the romance music...HI TAKEO ISHIYAMA'S MOUTH AN' NOODLES. HOW YA DOIN? Is that extra shot of noodles supposed to convince us that this scene wasn't reused from Rock Bottom?(?)

And the first of Aelita's many names is made- miss Aelita Lyoko. "Is she Japanese?" Clearly not! Unless the natural pink hair makes her an anime character. "They work with computers." Hey, that wasn't totally wrong after all.

And now we get the other side of the story. Odd, you might regret that cousin thing when you snog her in a year or so. "She's from...Holland." Whatever happened to Canada? (On another note, it's just so strange to think of them just taking Aelita to Earth. She's been there so long now it's almost like she was always there.)

Ulrich and Odd's slapfest is hilarious. Jim's being a nosey-nose. "What do you think I am, huh, an idiot?" Oh Jim, you have no idea. I kinda like his involvement in this ep. Develops his character a little.

Why does it seem like every season someone's out to get them? Here it's Jim, then it's Sissi, then William...then Sissi again...

Yay things are going well. Question is, why can't they just have her board like they did later? I guess they wanted her to be with friends the first night to get her acclimated...

Plot-important Sissi presence. Ooooh.

Aaaannnnddd...Green Plus Sign! WEWT!!! Jeremie is positively beside himself. GROUP HUG!

Sissi you little sneak. Jim you crazy-fish. Still kind of hilarious how he pushed Nicolas and Herb out of the way... he's so determined he's forgetting himself.

"The materialization's gonna work?" YES IT IS, AELITA! COME OUT AND BE A CHARACTER NOW! They're all so happy. They think they're done with Lyoko. Oh what poor, poor souls they are.

Okay, now, as we noted in the livestream, note where Jeremie is setting the disc, in the middle of the desk... I just realized that Jeremie's voice is now at Season 2 depth. He must be so proud of himself. Oh what a poor, poor soul he is. Flesh and blood for the first time? Oh REALLY?

"We'll be five for dinner tonight!" Awww. How happy they all are. How happy. And how doomed.

And there he goes, taking the wrong disk from his desk. And here them all go, crashing into each other as Jim decides to be a nosey-nose.

Why does Jim say "my foot" when he's pulling his eyelid down? Odd. Good thing JPD is a more sensible disciplinarian...sometimes anyway. Poor Jim. He was so determined...and now he feels inadequate. JPD is poking Jim's fat. That's gross.

Why is Aelita running for an activated tower? And Jeremie's so impatient...how cute. Bloks.

I wish I had a big enough desk to open up a laptop under it. Why is Hertz pointing at her y=mx+b when she's explaining biology? Strange woman indeed.

Hertz, I think Jeremie is a little too excited by the prospect of a girlfriend to be smart today. Sorry. Did I just hear a kid say "It's about time Jeremie gets a wrong answer?" WIN.

This, too, is like my fanvid that I love. Cause it's a reused scene. Gotta love them scenes. TO THE INFIRMARY!

Sneaky freak Jim is sneaky freak. Good thing he didn't see the sewer opening. Oh, forgot to mention they're running for Lyoko cause XANA doesn't want to die and will kill Aelita instead <s>despite the fact that he needs her memories to escape. God, XANA.</s>

Skateboard go "MYUH". Odd go "YEAAH." That jump can't be very safe. Factory factory.

"Get to the tower, and I'll launch the program." I forgot that for Season 2 Aelita could only be revirtualized through the tower. After Season 3 it isn't an issue if I recall. Virtualizations. Why are they reusing Routine's angry scans?

Wind on Lyoko? Huh.

Materialization program...or...hold on, guys, I'll be right back. *puts on sunglasses*

BREAK BREAK BREAKDANCE
BREAK BREAK BREAKDANCE
BREAK BREAK BREAKDANCE HERE WE GOOOO!

Oh Odd ilu. Some strange things about the video- Jeremie's, Yumi's, and Sissi's heads are floating in it. And that's just what I can see. Odd can't sing. How did Odd get two girls he knew to talk to both him and each other long enough to do a butt-bump? And funniest of all...for all his talk of dancing, Odd doesn't even dance here.

"You made a video?"
"Yeah, it's pretty good, too."
"What's it called?"
"BREAK BREAK BREAKDANCE"

"SIR YES SIR" Aww, the boys know their place already! And some neat flying jumping monster destroying is done as Jim is a nosey-nose again and runs after a running Jeremie.

"This could be the last tower." Yeaah. No.

And now it's Jeremie versus guy that's far taller and heavier than he is. Not an especially fair fight! "Since the beginning of the year?" I'm just not going to consider a timeline anymore...

how Jeremie tilts his glasses a little, as if as a challenge. Not lovin' the off-white overlays, though. Kinda tacky. AND THEY'RE OFF

And...Jeremie gets hurt! Noo! I don't get it, though. How did he break his ankle if he fell on his arse? Well, it must not have been that bad of an injury anyway. Moving on...his ankle is hurt. Hoo boy, Jim, you just hurt a student...as the sympathetic nearby girls are just rubbing in...

Kids be chillin' in the tower. "45 minutes is a long time to pick up a CD." But it is an okay amount of time to have been chased by Jim and have your ankle sprained. Hoo boy. Oh, crap, Megatank.

Hi, <s>Yolande</s> Dorothy! Doing well in your last appearance under your old name. What's funny here is that Jeremie has such short pants, they don't need to be rolled up that much.

A week? Then how did he ever get up and walk around just fine after oh never mind.

Funny how <s>Yolande</s> Dorothy also perked up when she heard the business going on outside. Looks like Jim's been...let go. D: And now he's gonna fall through the floor. Because CL totally has dramatizations like this. Totally not unusual. But if being fired is the end of the world for him...he must not have had much else to live for. D:

Megatank do bad things.

"May I go to the bathroom?" "The doctor insists you stay off your feet! I'll go get you a basin." EEEEWWWW. At least it gets <s>Yolande</s> Dorothy out of the room.

Yay, Jim trying to make amends! Though still funny how Jeremie just tries to ignore him...except now that he has plans. He will get his girlfriend no matter what it takes. Damn, now I wanna give Jim a hug.

"My friends and I, we do have a secret." And all of a sudden all Jim's guilt is gone as he gets all happy. And so begins Jim's two-day stint as a Lyoko Warrior! Whee.

Megatank does more evil.

"I've got your basin." Once again, EEEEWWW. But tis okay, because the plot is going on! LOL at the window being open. Did they seriously jump out? Seriously?

Jimbo-back ride! "I was right, I was right!" You were right, you were right! Now get Aelita out of Lyoko already.

Megatank Megatank.

With Jim, I find there is a sliding scale between disciplinarian and goofball. Here, it's sliding toward goofball. Finger guns = lolarious. Sometimes the elevator has a code, sometimes it does not. I don't think Jim was quite expecting THIS kind of secret, ne?

Anyway, here we go. Jeremie puts the correct disc in...more Megatanking happens...Yumi go bye-bye...Odd tries to devirtualize the Megatank and fails. Ulrich has to do it now. Jim is a motivational speaker. Quite a thing to come home to see, like a walrus at the dinner table that everyone else accepts. Oh, and the Megatank is dead. But here comes another one. Just virtualize Aelita already!

Nail biter minute is under Jeremie's control now. And here it goes...

I always thought this face overlay was neat...Ulrich go ded...Aelita go up...Aelita disappear. Oooooh.

And we run down to the scanners to find...

Ulrich and Yumi hugging! No, really, we find...

"Welcome to Earth, Aelita."

PROS-
- Um. AELITA CAME TO EARTH.
- Well-executed and entertaining
- BREAK BREAK BREAK DANCE
- Some good screentime for Jim
- Aelita came to Earth.

CONS-
- Jeremie's magically vanishing injury
- Basins.
- Taking all these illustrative screencaps is making me realize what a crappy copy of this episode I have...

So, um, yeah. On to False Start, then...83
