CLE Episode Eight: Virus

[aelitaxwilliam]

So! What did you guys think of it? I think CLE's really picking up steam, and I'm actually getting SOSOSO EXCITED for what's to come next. I'll post more thoughts later after I finish giffing, but yeah, I thought it was the best episode yet by far.

One image describes my feelings for this episode



Great job Jeremie and Aelita, you've taught us all not to infect our computers with a virus to achieve our own personal gain.

It appears as if Jeremie and Aelita have redesigned Carthage so that you don't have to go through the celestial dome.

I loved William's Earth performance.

This episode makes me feel sorry for Laura. I mean, they're using her. Jeremie and Aelita screwed up, they bring Laura in, she works for hours to fix it, and then they go back in time so she doesn't remember it. But she does remember. I kind of like that it came back to bite them hard. But it also adds a new element of uncertainty to the once-reliable RTTP: how many other people could potentially remember on different occurrences of RTTPs? It's happened before to William in e64 from e59, but perhaps they didn't put so much thought on it then because William didn't act upon it immediately whereas this time Laura did. And this time they had to bring Laura into the group because she found the place on her own from her visions. And if they didn't go away after one RTTP, then what's to say they wouldn't go away after more?

Laura sabotaged the RTTP when she was working on the virus. I'm not sure if she just programmed herself into the computer so that she alone would be immune (then why not just delete her profile?); it's more likely she wrecked the whole thing, meaning anyone who finds the lab can't have their memory fully erased by the RTTP until it's fixed, and will have flashbacks like Laura did.

.....
Well then!

Sabotage is a bit more interesting than accident. Not understanding French myself (besides sayings like "excuse me" and "what the hell was that?"), I had no idea that's what she'd done, though I guess it makes sense that with all the time she took with the virus she'd had plenty of time to pork-barrel some RTTP sabotage as well. As well as time to figure out how it worked so that she would know just how to sabotage it.

This makes me want to take back what I said about feeling sorry for Laura, though it's a good form of payback. "You want my help with no payment and so you can erase my memory later? Well pfft. I'm gonna make it so you can't erase my memory!"

This makes me even more excited for when the English subs/dubs come out. 8D (More the subs because, unless they get the same kids to do the English dubbing, I'm going to have a problem with the new voices because I'm used to what they sound like now.)

Well I did actually feel bad for Laura for a second...not anymore. Though, regardless of whether or not she sabotaged the RTTP, the Lyoko gang didn't win any brownie points with me in this episode by using her to get what they needed and then trying to wipe her memory with a RTTP. Not cool guys; either she's in the group or she's not. I don't like them using her to further a goal.

But even before then, I found my inherit uncertainty about my feelings toward her grow into suspicion and dislike. I'm trying to like her - I really am - but there's something about her that's really bugging me.

William the spy was pretty funny though. Ah, espionage is not your thing my dear little Willy. XD

And the Ninjas were completely awesome and, to me, probably the creepiest monster on Lyoko! I can't wait to see them again!

After marathonning, the actors are starting to grow on me. And I'm excited to see where the plot is going!

[Snickie]

I rewatched the episode today with English subtitles. And it made me so mad.

One thing was the Lauremie arm!grab/lead. And the looks Laura gave Jeremie at the end, the "Look at me, I'm so clever." And it helps too that the Lyoko warriors felt badly about using Laura the way they were going to (before the RTTP failed).

This series makes me empathize more and more with Jeremie than before simply because of Laura. I would elaborate, but I am tired and am going to bed now.

[Smartguy5000]

You should elaborate on your opinions snickie, for they are valued by the community.

I think what I like about her is that she’s a wild card. If things were to get really bad, she might be a great help or she might makes things even worse (by accident or on purpose. After all, we don’t know much about her)…
