TB3 wrote:JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA!

To convey the image that this is the season of Goodwill, let's start in the factory. The kids are in the control room talking about XANA and the anitvirus, but they don't mention Christmas.

They rattle up in the elevator and as they begin to walk through the Factory's Cathedral Room first Odd, then the others beging to sing a carol which echoes beautifully through the massive building. Slowly musical backing begins to creep in.

As they sing the camera pulls back through the wall to reveal the factory island covered lightly in snow, and then pan over to the city at night, snow falling and decoration lights gleaming. The kids' singing continues but as they reach the chorus the whole cast (and maybe some of them taping it twice) begins to sing over this image of the city.

Fade to a warmly burning bonfire in one of the Kadic courtyards - all of the school and most of the students' parents (who have come to pick them up for the holidays) are around it singing the carol as part of the end-of-term service. As it ends Principal Delmas steps up and officially ends the semester, and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.

How's that then?


Sounds Awesome.

One plot niggle: Aelita. Arrangements would need to be made.

what do you mean "arrangements need to be made" ? it has been shown before back on code: earth and false start that yumi's parents dont have a problem with Aelita staying with them. dont see why the holiday's would make it any different. just say that her parents dont live close enough to go home for the holiday's.

Which carol would they use, TB3, that would echo in the factory?

My personal favourite for that scene would be 'Oh Come All Ye Faithfull'

ODD (starting):
O come all ye faithful,
Joyful, and triumphant,
OTHERS (joining in with echoes as musical backing begins)
O come ye, O come ye
To Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels!

(Pull back to reveal the factory and the city as the whole cast begins to filter in)
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him,
O COME LET US ADORE HIM!
CHRIST THE LORD!

(Fade down to Kadic)

EVERYONE (staff students and parents):
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
O sing, all ye bright hosts
Of heav'n above!
Glory to God,
All glory in the highest!

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him,
O COME LET US ADORE HIM!
CHRIST THE LORD!

END

As you can probably see I cut out the last verse for time intervals, but I think this would work.

Tell me what you think :)

Beautiful. :*D I am sure Matt and the others would love to sing this. But I dunno how Jimbo (David G.) would sing.

That's the thing. They shouldn't be able to sing a note. It's funny that way.

I can imagine Jeremie singing that with Aelita and the others.

I agree with Taelia. It's no patch on the original parody, revolving around Batman. Erika has just tried to modify that... badly

"Herb laid an egg" doesn't make sense and IIRC the Overbike is ALL wheel...

Anyway, back on topic: What do we have so far?

A lot of cool ideas, that's what! =D I like TB3's idea the best. I'd suggest doing it at the end of the special when it's all over. Or in the middle, and use the song "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" at the end like in most Christmas specials.

Anyone got enough Net time to list the idea's so far?

As for TB3's Carol service, I think It'd be better at the start, just to set the Christmas tone.

Another thought, while I'm posting: What if Odd's parents couldn't make it (for whatever reason) and he end's up spending Christmas with Ulrich?

Jeremie's do make it, however, mainly to get him out of the country for plot purposes. Maybe they're even going to Lapland...

Already suggested. It's more a question of whether it's the real thing (which I'd prefer, myself; more scope for mayhem.) or a department store one (which was Taelia's suggestion, I think).

Speaking of which, this was in today's edition of The Sun

URL Removed

If we do go down that route, could "Claus For Concern" be the ep title?

EDIT: On second thoughts, better not to link to the Sun's website...

[quote]BARMY education chiefs have warned teachers that Santa Claus TERRIFIES kids.
They said nervous pupils must be near a door when he visits — so they can run away.

The advice appeared on the Government website www.teachernet.gov.uk.

It said: “If you are planning a visit from Santa you’ll need to make sure that fearful children are near an exit.â€

Just a point that Aelita will know who Santa is (this would be her second Christmas since the team turned the computer back on) and possibly not believe in him, even if you set this before she gets her memories back - plot potential!

I agree! Especially since this will be the first Christmas she'll have with Jeremie, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi.

'Free-Range-XANA'

LOL - I know what you mean but that sounds like something you'd find printed on a box of eggs.
