Eh... not my favorite episode.

"Mediocre"

By NitaAries327, Sep 22, 2008 Report Abuse

I fairly didn't like the fact that Danny was dating Paulina. For one, I really hate her and for two: I support DXS. We do find out later that Kitty is overshadowing her to make Johnny jealous because he rarely seems to pay attention to her. It hasn't aired on TV in a long time, so I haven't seen it in a while. But, they finally work something out, Sam's jealous and breaks things (lol) and the popularity chain is broken and screwed up. Yeah.... I didn't care for it plus why haven't they played it on TV? It wasn't unpopular, was it?moreless

There were a lot of Danny and Paulina moments (sad for me). But if you squint really closely, there were mini 'Sam has a crush on Danny' moments too.

Okay, where do I start? This episode showed how much Sam really cared for Danny, becasue she was jealous enough to punch a dent in a locker, rip the flag off of a mailbox, and crush a napkin holder. I've tried it, and people, it isn't as easy as it looks. So this episode shows that Sam definitely has a crush on Danny.

But what about Paulina and Danny? I don't really support this couple, but for those of you that do, I hope I'm not offending you in any way. Well, anyway, Danny likes her and Paulina seems to like him. Until of course, Danny realizes that she had been overshadowed by Kitty the entire time. So there's a love triangle now. I love love (Cool, I said love two times in a row!) triangles as long as the couple I like ends up together.

In the end, Paulina is back to normal, but now she has a crush on Danny Phantom (not Fenton), Star and Kwan end up together, and the trio of Danny, Sam, and Tucker are back to the way that they were in the beginning.

I only review episodes with DxS moments in them, but DxS thoughts do count, too. I love how Sam's jealousy was shown, and I love how Kitty knew how Danny felt about her. Those moments are totally considered DxS. I don't care if you disagree, they ARE! YAY DXS!!!moreless

The absolute greatest part was seeing Sam get so jealous! XD I loved when she beat the locker up the most! Lucky in Love proves that Sam has feelings for Danny, and shallow as she is, at least Paulina has great taste in ghosts. It looks like Danny wasn't so clueless, either.

"I was going to overshadow your friend, the spooky chic in black. You like her, don't you?"

"Sam? Well...I, uh..."

Plus, Danny was awesome at fighting Jhonny. Danny beating ghosts up never fails to amuse me. ^_^

"Ow! I thought this was supposed to be a pretend fight!"

"Then pretend that didn't hurt!" Go, Danny!moreless

Eh, I don't know, but something about this episode wasn't as great as the others...

"Great"

By TheCandeh, Jan 30, 2007 Report Abuse

Eh, I don't know, but someting about this episode wasn't as great as the others. Nonetheless, I liked seeing Kitty and Johnny 13 again. I liked the end scene with Danny and Johnny 13, and I like Kitty's character a lot. The part with Kwan at Sam's goth poetry club was really funny as well. I don't know, but the scene with Danny and Paulina to me were really boring and I couldn't help but loose a bit of intrest. Other than that, Danny was, as always, adorable, and I liked the ending with Kitty and Johnny. Eh, I'm still somewhat undecided, but I appreciate this episode greatly.moreless

When Paulina discovers Danny's secret identity, she ends up going out with him, but Danny soon learns that Paulina also has a secret.

This episode isn't my favorite, but it was still pretty good. No offense to anyone, but I don't care too much for Paulina. I would prefer that Danny and Sam go out. My favorite parts would have to be when Tucker, Sam, and Kwan were spending time together and someone (usually Tucker or Sam) would end up getting hurt. I also thought it was funny when Sam called Kwan 'The enemy of fun' I started busting out laughing when I heard her say that. I would have to give this episode a 9.7 because I don't care too much for Johnny 13 or Kitty, no offense to anyone who likes them.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- How did Danny know who Kitty was? He didn't even know about her in "13". Edit
- We learn that Kitty suspects Danny of having a crush on Sam, who she was planning to overshadow. In a later episode, it is revealed that her boyfriend Jonny also thinks Danny and Sam have a thing together. Edit
- In the end when Tucker looks at Danny's hallpass, he says he was only one more stamp away from getting a free frozen yogurt. If you look closely, it has only been stamped eight times, but in the beginning Dash says it has to be punched ten times. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Paulina indirectly saved Sam from being possessed by Kitty, by pushing and ticking Sam off. Edit
- Apparently, Sam is pretty strong since she was able to mak a dent in a locker and crush a napkin holder. Edit
- Insight Digital Description: In exchange for Paulina's pledge of silence in regards to Danny's secret alias, Danny becomes her boyfriend, a role that he cherishes until he discovers that Paulina also has something to hide. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Paulina: Oh Danny, I am so embarrassing myself, could you give me a bit of invisible help? Danny: But, thats cheating. (Paulina kisses Danny on the cheek) Danny:...or creative point scoring! I'll be right back after your strike! Edit
- Star: (After she and Kwan have "dumped" Sam and Tucker and the two had gone speeding off out the door) That was easy. Kwan: They're in denial. I learned about that last night at the bookstore! Edit
- Tucker: (After he and Sam have been "dumped" by Kwan and Star) That was easy! Now everything's back to normal! Sam: Almost. We still don't have Danny, who's having a WONDERFUL time- (Tears flag off a nearby mailbox)- with Paulina, I'm sure. (Next Scene) Danny: I'm losing my mind. I mean, Paulina's fairly high maintainance. Sam: Really? (Sarcastically) I hadn't noticed. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Sam: Bathing Suit & Lunch Box Sam's bathing suit looks very similar to Batman's costume, especially the batwings on her bathing suit. Also, in the scene where Danny says, "I'm losing my mind!," Sam's purple lunchbox is shown and it has the Batman logo on it. More Info Edit
- Title Screen: Appearance The title screen of the episode is modeled after the poster for the very famous 1939 movie, Gone with the Wind. Danny is holding Paulina the same way Rhett Butler was holding Scarlett O'Hara. Edit
- Danny & Paulina: Clark Kent/Superman & Lois Lane
  Perhaps the relation between Danny & Paulina is taken from Superman. Clark Kent/Danny Fenton is in love with Lois Lane/Paulina who has a crush on Superman/Inviso-Bill. But Lois/Paulina doesn't know that Clark Kent/Danny Fenton is the same superhero that they love. Edit
