Preston Ward Condra Watches Code Lyoko

by Preston Ward Condra

I binge watch through the entire series of Code Lyoko. Aside from seeing 1-2 episodes, I'm going in completely blind to this series. It's a show, I would never see anyone say anything good or bad about at all. I'm confused to as to whether or not, it's an anime or a cartoon. Cartoon Network never even aired the finale back in 2007. A smorgasbord of a project. Let's do this.

5. Episode 4: Log Book

Episode 4 - Log Book

Odd: ULRICH! WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR!?

Ulrich: You go have breakfast. There's something I have to find.

Odd: ...Okay.

Why keep it secret?

Jeremy likes skipping gym class and he's done it before, numerous times.

Yumi gets jealous of Ulrich talking to Sissy.

Dramatic close-up of the two talkng to each another, like it's some kind of vow being made.

Sissy: It's hard to say no, to a pretty little girl like me. And second of all-

Atrocious lip-syncing. My God.

Ulrich has a diary. And Sissy found out about him and stole it from his room.

You think this was a college dormitory but, again it's a middle school.

I bet you Sissy failed a grade. She's taller than ALL of the boys in this cartoon. Foreshadowing, maybe?

Odd, Ulrich and Sissy are going on a field trip to a swimming pool.

While Jeremy and Yumi stay behind...why?

Yumi uses a hairpin to break into Sissy's room.

Yumi finds Sissy's dairy. Not Ulrich's. Oh no.

Wow. Revenge blackmail.

Looks like Yumi faked being sick to the school nurse. That's why she didn't go to the field trip.

Well, at least that's cleared up.

Xana takes control over the school bus.

Ulrich: The bus was working fine before you changed the batteries, right?

A BUS DOES NOT RUN ON BATTERIES.

Odd throws himself out of the school bus.

The bus suddenly speeds up to 120 mph.

Aelita spots the tower that Xana activated.

Why is he activating these towers?

Jeremy warns Ulrich that Xana plans to blow the bus up - crashing it into a chemical plant.

A monster chases after Yumi and Aelita.

Just a "monster"

No clever nickname was given to the monster chasing after the girls.

Aelita gets to the tower and deactivates it.

Jeremy activates "Return To The Past Now" and everything is back to normal.

I'm not sure how Jeremy programmed or how the "Return To The Past Now" button came to be but, whatever.

End episode.

Overall: 5.0/10 - Very mediocre episode. Nothing but total filler. I knew the outcome, with what was going to happen two minutes into the program. Nothing really wrong with it but, nothing stood out about it at all.
