Who the CRAP wrote or thought of this episode? i ran into the bath room when Danny and Val were on the ferris wheel! i'm not joking... i could see a little ( or a lot ) of jelousy when Danny and Valerie were together. anyway, Jack gives Danny the ring that he was going to give to Valerie. what if that happened?

Valerie: um, Danny? why is "Sam" engraved on this ring?

Danny: yeah ... ummm, my dad engraved it...

That would be weird. i'm glad that didn't happen and it reappeared in the series finale for the fact that it was actually made for Sam and not Valerie.moreless

Pretty darn good episode, I can't get over how much better Technus' new form looks compared to his rubbish old one. Honstly he looked really wierd.

Anyway, the whole Danny and Valerie thing is thought of as being wierd and unexpected. I don't find it wierd in particular, at that age your kinda nuts so you do things that you don't particularly mean. I do that alot now and always have done but still. Danny has a cool battle with Technus in space and the fights with Valerie are quite interesting and exiting.

Overall this episode isn't terrible but it's not exactly top notch either.moreless

Valerie comes after Danny Phantom harder than ever.

It was awesome to see Sam getting so jealous she had to spy on Danny and Valerie. I loved it when Technus said:

"I wonder who'll miss you more; the angry ghost hunter or the frustrated little goth girl who can't admit her feelings!"

Lol! Even the ghosts can work out why Danny's so clueless! The fight between Valerie and her suit/Technus was cool and I'm glad she said she liked Danny "maybe even enough to give up ghost hunting." She was only breaking up with him to protect him. Danny should have been the one to break up with her. Either way, emotional episode, awesome fighting, phantastic animation, and proof Danny needs to notice Sam's feelings and Sam needs to get out of denial.moreless

Danny and Valerie pursue their interest in each other, but can two ghost hunters make a relationship work?

This isn't one of my favorite episodes, but I still enjoyed it. As I've said before, I can't stand Technus; that's one reason why I don't like this episode. I do like Valerie's new ghost hunting suit though. It looks a lot better than the one she had before it was destroyed. My favorite parts include: Valerie's dad telling Danny he looks nervous (because he noticed Vlad's picture above him, lol), Valerie fighting her suit (with Technus controlling it), Technus asking Danny who would miss him most, and when Danny says 'oh darn it' when Valerie and her dad discover him in the lab with the jet pack.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- This is the first (and only) time Danny foiled Technus' plan by himself. The other times, he needed the help of Sam and Tucker. Edit
- When Danny enters Axiom Labs to find Technus, he is not wearing his Fenton Phones. Then when we see him inside the labs, he is clearly wearing the Fenton Phones. Edit
- During the scene where Danny and Valerie are at the sports game, we first see Danny holding a green flag and Valerie with a foam finger. There is also a tub of popcorn between them. When we see them again, all of those things are gone. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Nicktoons Network premiere date: Friday, June 27, 2008. Edit
- Title Picture: Valerie's ghost-hunting head and upper chest on the top left to bottom left with Danny in ghost mode that looks like he's trying to escape with the "Technus Satellite" in the background. Edit
- We learn by the end of this episode that there is at least one girl that Danny has no apparent interest in who has a crush on him. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Sam: (Gives Danny the ring) Here you go. Tucker: You sure about this? Danny: Well, she said she'd give up ghost hunting. For me. Besides, I like her and she likes me back. Isn't it supposed to be that simple? Sam & Tucker: Clueless. (Valerie appears) Valerie: Danny. Danny: Wow. I'm glad you're here. I wanted to ask you something. Valerie: Actually, me first. (Sam & Tucker leave them alone) Danny, I've had a lot of fun these last few days. But my life's way too complicated right now or us to be anything other than...friends. Danny: Just friends? But I thought... Valerie: I thought too. But there's something important I have to do and I don't want you to get hurt because of it. Besides, it's not like you were gonna give me some lame class ring, right (Kisses Danny on the cheek) Danny: (Chuckles) Yeah. Right. Edit
- Danny: (After Sam tells him Technus is trying to hook him and Valerie up) Sam was probably being paranoid...(Turns around and sees Technus in Valerie's suit)...but that doesn't mean she's not right. Valerie's... not in there, is she? Technus: No. She's not. (Points to Valerie) She's over there. In full view. (Valerie waves; Danny waves back nervously) Technus: You should run now. Edit
- Danny: You're telling me that Technus is trying to hook me up? Come on! Technus hates emotions! Sam: And hello? He's using yours against you. Tucker: Dim lights, stalled ferris wheels... you think the universe wants you two to be together? Danny: Well, maybe, but, I don't know... I might. Edit

- Cybertron Mainframe: Name The name of Axion Labs' super computer is an homage to the planet of the Autobots and Decepticons from the various Transformers incarnations. Edit
- Technus Satellite: (After swallowed the overloaded rocket jet pack by accident and explodes) An allusion from the movie "Hot Shots! Part Deux". The enemy accidentally swallowed Topper Harley's grenade while laughing and the enemy ship exploded. This was seen after the Technus Satellite accidentally swallowed the overloaded rocket jet pack that Danny gave it to him. Edit
- Flirting With Disaster: (The Storyline Itself) Actually, the storyline has some allusions from Superman 3. The examples are: (1)The blackout scene due to the Ultimate Computer's malfunction. On Technus 2.0, he was doing it for Danny and Valerie. (2)One of (The Villain)Ross Webster's Henchmen, Vera Ross, was caught by the ultimate computer's suction beam and transforms into Fembot 2.0. On Valerie, it gave her a new suit from the Technus Possessed supercomputer. Edit
