Code Lyoko S3 E11

## Plot

It's just another normal day on Lyoko with the kids having to destroy monsters, deactivate a tower, and save Aelita from the Scyphozoa. Look behind you! At least this time she managed to dodge those stupid tentacles. Odd has been having a rough week. He's mad because all of the others have superpowers like telekinesis, super speed, triplicate, and creativity. His ability to see into the future got wiped out when Jeremie was working on the supercomputer, and it was never reprogrammed because Jeremie thought it was useless. Ouch. You could pin this on his lack of social skills, but Jeremie is kind of a douche sometimes. To cheer him up, Jeremie plans to give Odd the ability to teleport. Because this is Jeremie we're talking about though, something has to go wrong. Sure enough, Odd accidentally creates two clones of himself when he teleports. And when Jeremie rematerializes him, the other two Odds are rematerialized as well. So, I've been thinking: How come Jeremie never tests his experimental programs out on a plant or something? In the prequel, he was originally going to test out the scanner on Kiwi. And plants are technically alive. Anyways, all three Odds have to get into the scanners together to fuse them back into one. But they're all unstable, so any one of them could disappear at any moment, which would make the fusion impossible. And because things could be *so much worse*, XANA activates a tower. It creates a mist that turns people to stone. One of the Odds is turned into stone, because we need to make this as insanely hard as a Rumpelstiltskin riddle in a King's Quest game. The original Odd has to find the other one who skipped class while the others have to go to Lyoko and deactivate the tower. Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! Yumi was devirtualized already? Hey Jeremie! Some *flying vehicles* would be pretty handy right about now! The two Odds retrieve statue Odd and proceed to zip line down the building. That doesn't make up for the stupidity of our heroes, but it's still awesome. Well, at least they're not Swarming Attack levels of bad. Yet. Ulrich is devirtualized by being run over by a Megatank because he's not smart enough to activate his super sprint in time. Are the writers actually *trying* to be as bad as Swarming Attack? Are they trying to be *worse*? Because let me assure you, nothing will ever be worse than Swarming Attack. The day I find something worse is the day I watch that episode again. In fact, if I ever do find something worse from any franchise ever, I will personally record my reaction to that diabolical monstrosity of an episode. Anyways, Odd is back to normal now and on Lyoko to help out Aelita. They save the day, do an RTTP, the usual. Jeremie discovers the problem with the program and offers a bug free one to Odd this time, but he turns it down. Personally, I'd accept it. You never know when it might come in handy. Plus, the ability to teleport is so cool! Who wouldn't want to be like Nightcrawler?

## Review

As mush as I make fun of this show during its dumber moments, I still liked this episode. It had zip lining, teleportation, and a P.O.V. shot of a monster being destroyed, all of which is admittedly pretty cool.
