    Ulrich is really good at soccer. I think it's funny how the goalie gave up trying to catch the balls and he stood at the side of the goal instead and watched the balls go into the net. Seeing Sissie cheering with her batton was just sad. It was funny seeing her batton fly away when she threw it into the air. Her reaction was hilarious! The comment some girls said to her at lunch was funny too: "Hurry up and eat your steak and french fries before they fly away." I think this is the first time I've ever seen Jeremie get mad at Ulrich. Ulrich is my favorite character, but I'm with Jeremie on this one because it was pretty selfish of Ulrich to refuse to help Aelita on Lyoko because of the soccer game. I feel sorry for Ulrich because of his dad's wanting him to be first in everything. My dad used to be like that too, so I know what a burden it can be. I liked the news broadcast Millie and Tamia were doing of the soccer game. It was funny when Tamia focused the camera on Ulrich and commented on how cute he looks when he runs. I think it's unfair how everyone depends on Ulrich to score the goals and stop the other team from scoring. What's the point of having a team then? I know this another mean thing to say, but that was awesome how Ulrich, Sissie, and Mrs. Hertz were flying around the hallways. I've always wanted to fly. I absolutely loved the part where Jeremie told Ulrich to stay inside no matter what. His voice, the music, and the lights flickering seemed so eerie and scary. I can't believe Ulrich jumped out that window! That had to hurt. That trick Aelita performed was awesome! I really thought she had killed herself when she fell off that ledge she conjured. Jeremie's reaction to what Aelita did was hilarious! I thought it was sweet and brave when Ulrich saved his parents from falling into space. I'm suprised he was able to hold onto them. That was sweet how Ulrich's dad told Ulrich he was proud of him before he let go and fell. It was kind of sad though; especially with the background music.moreless

    One of the best episodes of the season. We find out a ot about Ulrich's character and the relationship that he has with his father. Xana is getting more creative with every attack and thats a good thing. No Ulrich/Yumi moments in this episode, and thats what kept this from getting a perfect score. I adore Ulrich and the way his character is written.He is mysterious and yet a strong guy. This is one of my favorite episodes. Also, I loved the way Sissi's baton went up into space ad never came down and everybody laughed. Again, it was a terrific episodemoreless

    I understand Ulrich's trouble with his decision. Kadic's soccer team can't win without him, but on the very day of the big game X.A.N.A. launches an attack that could send the school into orbit! Helping Team Lyoko would seem like a no-brainer, but it's not that simple. Ulrich's Dad wants him to be great at everything, but Ulrich's grades aren't so good. As a result, the only way for Ulrich to impress his father is when he plays soccer. The rest of the gang has trouble in Lyoko without him. Ulrich is caught by a really tough decision- should he make his father proud if it may endanger their chance of saving the world?
     I think this was a great episode. Some have been better, but this episode was a real tearjerker and also pretty funny at some parts. I was totally cracking up when Sissy threw her baton into the air...and it just kept going! That was hilarious! Odd's sarcastic answer when Aelita asked if there was anything out of the ordinary was extremely funny, too.
     Later on, I was glad that Ulrich decided to help the gang with the gravity problem instead, and, in the end, we learn that his Dad is truly proud of him after all.moreless

  • XANA attempts to send Kadic into orbit during an important soccer game for Ulrich... it just screams entertainment!

    This episode is one of my favourites. The plot is interesting with Ulrich leaving his friends to go to Lyoko alone when he wants to impress his parents at his soccer game. I thought it was so good of him to leave the pitch to save his teacher in the building. That scene was so funny when they were flying all over the place with the zero gravity. I loved Odd and Yumi's attack on the biggest ever swarm of hornets, when Odd had his laser arrows to attack with Yumi using her telekinesis to protect him with boulders. That was awesome and showed real teamwork. Overall this episode was tension filled with the small disagreements between Ulrich and Jeremie, action packed with the Lyoko battles, and funny with the soccer match. Definitely one not to miss!moreless

    • People start being pulled upwards by the zero gravity zone a good two minutes onscreen before the tower is deactivated. By this time, they would have ended up in space and met a very unfortunate death due to its hostile conditions. It is mentioned later in the episode, "False Start" that going back in time doesn't bring back the dead, yet all the people who ended up in space are alive and well after the return to the past.

    • When Odd talks about Ulrich's father, his left eye is smaller and higher up on his face than his right one.

    • Milly says that the game is for 9th graders, but Ulrich was in 8th grade at the time of this episode.

    • Odd: Lets back Ulrich! Come on world champion! Jeremie: Yeah, but which world? Odd: Why both of them Jeremie, both of them!

    • Aelita: As soon as you're finished crying, just let me know!

    • Sissi: Ulrich! Do you mind telling me exactly what's going on? Ulrich: Yeah, I do mind. So keep quiet!

    • Aelita: Have you noticed anything strange going on in the real world? Odd: Oh, just the usual things. Batons that fly into the air and don't come back and Yumi's suddenly airborne.

    • Girl 1: Look, it's the mysterious baton twirler. Girl 2: Hey, Sissi. Eat your steak and French fries fast, before they fly away. Jeremie: Uh, oh. (Yumi arrives) We gotta talk.... Yumi and Jeremie: (together) right now!
