This episode can be titled "How to put spookiness and humor in one episode'
Odd was being dumb an thought putting them in a shut room would be less risky then running out in the forest where they could be caught.LaserArrow wrote:Well, I enjoyed the humor in this episode.
I laughed when the spectre was frozen and Odd walked in front of him only to get run into a second later.
Also, Odd singing Frère Jacques on the loudspeaker cracked me up. Crazy as well as I had just been thinking about that song the day before o.O
However, yaaaah, when the spectre was frozen and Ulrich and Aelita just stood there, that was really lame.
It was their chance to run and they just stood there. Come ooon.
And also, why does the group think it's smart to lock them up in the gym? I mean - why not have them play it safe with Jeremy in the factory, so if there is an emergency, they can go to Lyoko immediately? :s
The thing with the Xanafied William also felt dumb to me. Like, it could have been a cool idea buuut it felt so out of character for William to even seem like he was questioning what it was saying to him. William never was okay with being on Xana's side and he, even though in the original show made an arrogant mistake, wants the best for the group. But instead they run off from the tower, and aaahh I won't continue ranting. I did enjoy watching this episode, I swear I really did xD But the scriptwriting could use some polishing.

Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that.Strangely_Scott wrote:It is increasingly tiring when the writers use William as a crutch to cause tension.
Interesting. Is that song known in the US?LaserArrow wrote:Also, Odd singing Frère Jacques on the loudspeaker cracked me up. Crazy as well as I had just been thinking about that song the day before
Yes, actually. It's appeared in a lot of pop-culture and is a common nursery rhyme even in the US.Olivier wrote:Interesting.

Yeah, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't know it or at least the tune. This is how it goes in English (it's pretty much identical to french):Olivier wrote:Interesting.

It depends on whether or not you learned it as a kid. I remember it being in all the nursery rhyme books/videos and singing it in school. I bet if I asked anyone they'd be able to sing the beginning in English (and then na the rest like you said lol).LaserArrow wrote:We never sing it in English though. Or do we?
