CODE LYOKO: RETURN TO THE PAST NOW! EPISODE 74-75: PUSHING LIMITS

 "I Rather Not Talk About It", the 74th episode, Is off Course A Jim Centred Episode. Jeremy, Concerned about the fighting fitness of his team, Convinces Jim to train them on his day off in a Boot Camp.

One may ask What 5 teenagers, (3 With no Martial Arts Training) Can possibly Learn from a Former (Possibly Discharged) Drill Sargent turned High school Groundskeeper (Keep that in mind, as Jim's lives on campus!), 



But keep in mind we now live In a world where there is a video game where eating giant burgers and running a treadmill with a cat is all the training you need to shoot God in the face!

The 5 are Subjected to Boot Camp Level Exercise, and Drill Sargent Nasties, most of them Directed towards Jeremy. Heroes take a Break and Yumi asks Jim about his past. Jim recants the stories that he can talk about. such as his times as a lifeguard, a scuba driver and Bodyguard for the President. Though Jeremy Thinks Jim is a liar and sees Jim in his head as a Lifeguard at a Kiddie Pool, A pool Cleaner and a Custodian at the Secret Service. In the Forest Zone, Xana Activates a Tower. The Heroes are attacked by a wild boar. Jim proves to be the real deal fighting the animal, But when Xana possesses it, it's a different story. XANA/WILDBOAR charges Jeremy, But Jim is Laid Out and Knocked Silly. Ulrich causes a Distraction for the Boar as Aelita, Yumi and Odd head to the factory, Jeremy Staying Behind to tend to Jim, whose leg is Broken.

Because Jeremy and Franz rebuilt Lyoko from scratch, it would stand to reason A new Source Sphere was Made...What makes NO SENSE is having it in the EXACT same Place it was for Xana to attack it and possibly destroy it!

On Real World, Jeremy has used Some plants to camouflage the cave he found as shelter, as well as created a rudimentary splint for Jim's leg. However Jim points out via smell the fronds are Peppermint and Boars hunt by smell, Jeremy needs to Disguise there scents somehow!

Yumi and Odd engage William in Carthage, while Ulrich and Aelita head to the forest sector. The Solution to the scent problem is also the Problem itself: they rub the peppermint on themselves. It now dark so hopefully the boar has terrible eyesight!

On the Forest Zone, Xana has manipulated the terrain again to make the Tower invisible. The Boar chases Jeremie to the boot camps obstacle course. With Odd Defeated, Yumi Attacks and Destroys William. Aelita Deactivates the tower as Jim rescues Jeremy and so the episode ends With Jim on A Crutch, But Jeremy didn't use a Return Trip to erase Jim's Memories. Jeremy and Jim now respect each other and they will need his training in the future!

Hot Shower (Celestial Body in French!) Sees a Comet making it's path to Earth. While the Skid is in the Digital sea searching for William or Franz using it's new Sonar, Yumi's 9th Grade class (THIS IS A CONTINUITY ERROR, SHE'S IN 10TH!) is stuck with Hiroki and Johnny's 5th grade in a diorama contest about the Solar System, Johnny asks to be teamed with Yumi, much to her embarrassment!

In the Factory, Jeremy is watching Exposistion News,(Exposistion News! Plot Details on the hour, every hour!) Tell us that if the comet passing earth today would hit Earth it would cause an Extinction Event, however We finally have an explanation to why there is a Satellite with a DEATH LASER IN SPACE in episode 9: it's for blasting Meteorite!

As you May except. XANA rehacks the Death Laser to aim at the comet, changing it's Trajectory to France, with it's point of impact being the factory, Jeremy plans to Majora's Mask the situation, ie: use the return to the past as many times until the problem is solved.

The skid is stuck in a firewall, meaning heroes can't return to Lyoko, The government has covered up the comet's landing so well, that no-one believes her! Even Jim says something racist! ("I told you Eating Raw Fish is not good for your Brain!" ACTUAL FUCKING QUOTE!) It's only when the meteorites are visible is when action is taken. Aelita Breaks the Firewall with the Computer Science skill of running at it really hard! Jeremy casually Hacks a NATO Satellite as KADIC academy is evacuated, under the guise of a Fire Drill. Jeremy Phones Yumi for her to retrieve his laptop, As Authorization requires two remote sources to for control over the Death laser, of course 2 episodes go by and once again, side characters follow one of the Warriors, this time Hiroki and Johnny.

The Skid Accelerates thorugh Broadband to the Desert Zone, Yumi is told to Connect the laptop to the satellite dish on the roof of the school! But  the door is locked. Turns out Hiroki and Johnny are expert Lock-pickers..... somehow, and Yumi gets to the roof, Jeremy gets through but XANA is pushing them back. XANA's one trick mind in destroying earth so Aelita can't escape Costs It, as Aelita is no targeted for attacks. When she Realises this the others Devirtualizes her. causing Xana's forces to retreat and XANA to Destroy the Meteor Itself, Now XANA does not have the satisfaction of killing Aelita! A return to the past erases the boys involvement in todays adventure, Though Yumi realsies that having a lock on her bedroom is now useless!

CL:RTP,N! Returns in July For Bastille Day and the water Theme Continues With The Lake and Lost at Sea! Keep it here for my review for Lay the Favourite, As normal Service resumes before All my focus is Put Towards Wrestlemania!

But Join me in July, When we....
