RTTP #37 - Common Interest, or, There Are Three Entire Guns in this Episode

 


More than any other episode, Common Interest really hammers home
how BOLD Code Lyoko was willing to be. Even after 13 years we're
still stunned that we saw Aelita almost succumb to heart failure
three times in one day, or Jeremie handling raw uranium as he
struggled to keep the supercomputer alive, or XANA facing off
against a military transport armed with very present and
realistic guns. Still not sure how that one got on Cartoon
Network in the days when cops shot laser beams and heroes never
said die.  


Which makes it all the more disappointing when we go back to it
after 13 years and discover all the weird pacing in the Lyoko
bits, plus the glaring plot holes that we never noticed as kids.
But darn it all if it isn't still good!


It's also been a long week for Mary, David, and Ben, which means
that they're SUPER excited but also super distracted. But that
means you'll get to hear Ben explain the history of Juggalos,
David highlight the world's stealthiest Back to the Future
reference, and Mary rant and rave about the EXTREMELY WRONG
PLACEMENT of the Ultimate Impostor on the Dangan Ronpa 2
McDonald's Triangle. 


Apologies for this episode's lateness, as well!
