How would YOU have written Code Lyoko?

I must be thinking of something else when I think 'CSI'. I dunno. _3_

But yeah, what Tom said was what I intended. I just didn't know how to really... put it. ._. *hides*

Good thinking, but what if she decides to crush on Odd?

That would be even better. We've seen lately the length that Odd will go to for a girl he likes. He showed Sissi pen pal the super computer. If Sissi was his girl friend he would probably try to protect her and will make excuses for her if she fouls up, causing friction in the group.

If Sissi and Odd were an item could Odd really be sure that she doesn't still have feelings for Ulrich. She has been crushing on him for years. It would have to stick in his mind that he was second best to Ulrich. And for all that matters how would Ulrich feel when a pretty girl that has always liked him all of a sudden starts up with his best friend. As much as he complained about Sissi, it had to be a real stroke to his ego to know that she wanted him so badly. And its not like he's getting anywhere with Yumi. It might really bother him to see Odd so happy with a girl he could have had.

I do think the show will get Odd and Sissi together one day. We know from the Prequel that Odd thought that Sissi was hot. And lets face it. Lately their bickering has taken on a different tone. I think it a typical grade school relationship where the boy pulls the girls hair and she tells all her friends that he's "icky" and the next thing you know they're boyfriend and girlfriend.
Its a case where both of them "doest protest too much". Neither wants to be the first to admit it but there are feeling there.

Yes, I agree completely.

Also, keep in mind that they, along with Kadic's other students, are still children, which I personally define as "anyobe that is young, up to nineteen".

You're a college age person, aren't you? You sound a lot like my cousin, who is 22...

I personally would have changed season 3 and 4 a bit so we know more about what's going on. In the first two, the progress was gradual, but if you missed an episode it was still viewable, but now if we miss an episode of CL, we have no idea what's going on!

I think I would've made sure I had the plot all together before starting the show. ^^;;;;

It's just that, to me, in the first season...well, I don't think they had the whole Carthage plot figured out. I mean, Aelita had the Key to Lyoko, right? So why the heck was Xana trying to kill her all the time? It wasn't even falling into the digital sea, it was shooting her with his monsters. So I think when Season 2 rolled around with the Scyphozoa - THAT'S when they got the actual plot.

Hrm...what else would I have done? I'm a romantic so Yumi and Ulrich dating would've happened. I mean, people still have drama while they date so why bother letting their dancing friendship be that the entire four seasons?

Honestly, though I wouldn't have changed much. I love all the characters just the way they are. Their unique and FLAWED personalities make them who they are and you can change a plot by just making someone a certain way. I loved the action on Lyoko...I think that's what really attracted me so I would never change that. I think some of the attacks could've been more creative...or less silly (coughTEDDYGODZILLAcoughcough) but even those turned out pretty good in the end.

Xana should of materialized the Network into the real world. Xana should of materialized it into outer space near the sun where all the towers in the Network acquire solar energy in powering the Network. As a result, all the towers in the Network would turn yellow. As for the Replikas (which are holospheres) they will be orbiting holospheres in outer space. Also, since the Network is now in the real world, that means that the Digital Sea is now gone in the virtual world. In addition, since the Network is in front of the sun, that means that on Earth, an eclipse is formed. Therefore, the Lyoko gang must somehow restore the Network back into the virtual world and destroy these Replikas. The Lyoko gang will use the Skidbladnir in the real world in outer space.

Because of the apparent fact that everyone absolutely hates my ideas, I'm just gonna agree with a few.

Jim - OK, he's your comic relief, I'm fine with that. He still needs to occasionally be capable and not fumble over himself so much. Sometimes they managed this, but whenever they didn't, he proceeded to become an impossibly unbeliveable and cliche character. More truth out of him at some point would have helped combat some of this, even if it removed some of the humor.

Teachers/Administrator/Grounds crew - Nobody over the age of the kids had any time in the competence zone of this show. There were times they were close on this, but really the adults needed a lot more credit and seriousness given to them, either to service or hinder the heroes, fine, but not this sort of general irrelevence they fell into.

Herve/Nicholas - God, give them some reason for existance beyond Sissi needed cronies. You don't make characters unless they service the plot, you could have easily given any two random people instead of having these two running around, and I would either give them a reason to exist or take em out.

I do have to agree, in the case of Jim the Jerkface. He acts like Bulk from the early seasons of Mighty MorphinPower Rangers, particularly the first season. And (sorry to say this, David), to tell you the honest truth, the character just isn't funny anymore. His stupidity, pratfalls, constant humiliation, and his "I'd rather not talk about it" line really make me really despise the character. Plus, his strict, GI-Jerkface attitude really make me very angry. That's why some fans, like myself, make the character nicer in our stories.

Some of the other teachers, like Suzanne Hertz, are also just pointless and boring at times. I mean, look at Chardin. Odd's statement about him in "A Space Oddity" showed that he was very boring. And Mr. Fumet hasn't been seen or heard since "Nobody in Particular".

Herve and Nicholas have also become rather pointless in the last two seasons. I mean, at the end of "Echoes", they don't object to Sissi's saying to them to leave her new friends alone.

I would, for starters, make the show a bit more realistic by not using so many "fancy words." For example, the word "energy" is really overused in the show. I'm sure the guys at LTT have figured out what the purpose of "energy" is for, but seriously, a program doesn't need that much energy to run, and virtual energy seems kind of pointless.

I would also make the theatrics better, and have made it a live-action show. There would be no dub; only subtitled versions.

Every episode would contribute somewhat to the plot, and the ending would be a lot more dramatic.

Interesting...

I would only change a few things since the show has a nice formula going.

1. Further develop the characters' relationships (UxY, JxA, OxSi). Sam isn't Odd's girlfriend because she is a minor character and has appeared twice in the series. Sissi is closer and is more of a woman to keep him in line, though he would make her nicer over time.

2. Volcanic Sector would be added.

3. A XANA attack interrupting the characters' dates would be funny

4. Jeremy on Lyoko once in a while.

5. The aborted Mind Swap program from Episode 34 would give Yumi the ability to deactivate towers since she too has the Keys to Lyoko.

6. "What-If" Episodes revealing Dark Futures to all the characters (i.e. XANA enslaving mankind, Jeremy's life after gang is killed by XANA but he shut down the supercomputer to save humanity (S2) ).

Great idea! Ya got any fries with that?
