S4 Episode 17: Distant Memory

[Tangent128 offline]

And uh... great episode. One of those with a great combination of emotion, action and plot. Though I do wonder... if everyone was going home during the holidays, does that mean the William clone had to spend the time with the original William's family? And what would that be like? One can only imagine...

One can only...

Nice review, TB3. But where's my cookie?

I loved it! I was basicly crying when aelita was pushed into the digital sea. I was like omg Franz Hopper is contacting aelita! I think it was also funny when everyone came back, but I would do that too if it was my girlfriend. ( I'm basiclly Jereme and Aelita is Alyson my. (GF^_^) But overall I just loved it!I thought aelita was gone forever. 10/10

Looks like Kiwi was playing with mister Puck...

Aww, man, best episode in the season and I just happened to miss THAT one?! The reason is because it was my sister's birthday... Dagnabit! Now I have to resort to YouTube (I tried getting a Tech Links account, but I never received the email verification).

CN Video is okay, if you have a decent PC to run it.

May the Force be with you-Woo boy, MegaJesusMan's gonna love this episode.

[UltimaHedgie offline]

Ah, thanks, JesusFreak.

Anyway, I'd have to agree... that was TOTALLY awesome. This episode solves quite a few realizations--such as why XANA is still after Aelita. Obviously, if Franz is still around, the kids still have a fighting chance, but as Franz is whom has helped them all this time, without him, XANA can win.

Personally, I give it a 10. First time I'd ever do that. It is also definitely the most revealing episode all season, though every episode has added bits and pieces to the puzzle.

xD Priceless episode. I thought it would break my little heart to see such...BETRAYEL...but alas...*dramatic gasp* I loved the episode after watching it on Tuesday...(curse CN for making it on Saturdays) but great thankies to Teklinks...

I said to myself Carth would have a field day with this one (cause of William's awesomness)...meh. They didn't. *gonk*

Anyhow aside from my useless chat, I give this episode a 10/10. I would have given a nine but William chattiness and my fan girly side taking over Will and Ulrich...

This episode was GREAT. Seriously. :O I hope the rest of the season is like this one.

Am I the only one who got a hint of innuendo from the 'does your laptop happen to have pink hair' part...? Um. xD;; Go Mr Belpois! >_> <_<

Uggggh Ulrich's mom is nothing like how I write her in my stories. D: I dun care. Mrs Stern will have her own Tekicanon persona. (how I write her is a surprise *kukuku* >3)

The scene with Aelita trying to prove Franzy was fake was pretty well done. I love scenes like that in almost anything. :P

Zomgwheee @ the end where Ulrich was like 'No thanks and btw I'm totally not doing this to make you like me srsly' at the presents. x3 U/Y is starting to make its appearence again. Couldn't catch the reference everyone was talking about though... I might go watch the subbed Lab Rat nowbecause I'm starting to think it's become another Temptation. :\

And seeing Franz again in bubble form was coolio. This episode... = yay. x3

Wish this ep was on YouTube.

Awesome, awesome episode!! Yay for more Aelita-pastness. And for bringing her mom back into the picture. Poor girl...
and poor Ulrich! I know he feels...(only with me, my mom is like his dad, and visa versa) hehehe, it wsa cute when Jeremie got teased about Aelita. Parents are good at that...
Did anyone else think that inside that big energy bubble was a evil Aelita? I did!!! (before Jeremie explained what it was, of course) I thought XANA had summonded it or something...

[Tekirai offline]

Wish this ep was on YouTube.

It is. Like, 5 times. xD

Yep...(you got to it before me. xp )

[JesusFreak offline]

I have one more thing to say about this ep (that I can think of)...DUCKY!


Seriously, is it a rule that every show rated for 7 year olds or under has to have at least one reference to a rubber duck?

[Taelia offline]

Eerily but awesomely, Antea sounds like Suzanne.

[Malkmusian offline]

What do the Men In Black want with Antea Hopper, for God's sake? Is she behind the Zappa Case?

Oh, wait. I'm just being sarcastic because we still don't know why the Men in Black have some grudge against the Hopper.

[Rail Runner offline]

This episode was great, the family issues, the evil plots, the flashbacks, all the good stuff that we have come to know and love from CL.

The flashback of Aelita's past was a pretty emotional point. I dont remember feeling that way since Cold War. The writing was very very top notch for this episode.

I loved the Franz Hopper appearance, that was just downright awesome.

Great episode.

[Taelia offline]

Yumi pronounced Millie's last name wrong.

IT'S SO-LA-VEE-EFF!! Remember that next time, Mirabelle.

[Ghost Guest offline]

That was rather rude, wasn't it?

[JesusFreak offline]

Uh-huh.

[LadyLucy offline]

Antea? When did any one say that's Aelita's mom's name? Or did I miss it....O.o....I need to pay better attention.

[timekitten offline]

Part of some spoilers that also said William's ship was called the Rorok.

I'm watchin' this right now on CNVideo, relaxing on the chair with my laptop. Turns out that WLAN is streaming faster than LAN. :S

"May the force be with you!" ^^ OMG this so raised up my image of Odd. little details like this really can show a lot about a person's character, you know what I mean? i.e., the Scene w/ Ulrich & Co. in the car showed that Ulrich is distant, possibly lost in thought. It shows that he thinks his dad is wrong, but he doesn't feel like proving it, and... slightly emo. Well, on to part 2! =D

EDIT: Wait a minute. Jeremie said that he can't virtualize Yumi in the sim bubble. Yet he did it himself back in S1 when he was a n00b! Mkay, maybe not a n00b in general, but a n00b compared to his current self. Nontheless, I am confused. =/ Oh, and nice, NICE job on your review, Teebs. No, really, keep the cookie. You deserve it.

Well, XANA's gotten better, too... plus, XANA didn't seem surprised when Jeremie virtualized in "Ghost Channel", so maybe XANA allowed Jeremie in as part of its trap.

<ltt> Also, this simulation bubble was far smaller than the one in "Ghost Channel"; according to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, at small scales locations become harder to pinpoint; the spatial compression in this bubble (bigger on the inside than the outside) probably exaggerates that effect. </ltt>

I agree with young Aelita looking a little bit strange, but I'm sure if she had been designed in the same way as regular Aelita, she would have looked much better, and besides, we all see how beautiful she became... right? Anyway, about this episode, all I really have to say is that Aelita should have known better than to respond to a Hopperian call that arrives just as everyone else is gone and when she is at her most exposed. Xana's farce was pretty sophisticated this time, and Aelita might have been very excited at the possibility of finally seeing her father, so I guess we can't blame her naivité.

Besides, Jeremie is so lucky to have both Aelita and such an understanding father...

[yumi_yemimah offline]

Aelita is so cute when she is little and her mom is very beautiful. I wish I had pink hair.
