Memory Blank

Episode Summary

Danny and Sam get into a fight, and when Sam utters the words, "I sometimes wish I'd never met you," she finds herself in a world in which she and Danny are strangers, courtesy of an escaped, vindictive, and more powerful Desiree. Worse than that, since it was Sam who encouraged Danny to check out the Fenton Portal the night he got his ghost powers, Danny doesn't have any powers! Now, Sam must convince Danny that they share a friendship and a history, and lead him back to the Fenton Portal for a second "accident" so he can again become Danny Phantom, but with a permanent change to his suit.

OMG, Is Sam nuts? the world needed Danny Phantom! And it STILL needs him!! ( Can i get "Whoop , whoop"!?!? ). Anyway, more importantly, Sam really,REALLY needs him, and she can't deny it! This notes one of the episodes that would have ended the series, thank GOODNESS it didn't! Anywho,this episode was great! the price to pay for having Danny not remembering who the crap Sam Manson is, she had to convince him and wear pink. yes everyone, PINK, the one thing she hates other than anything cute. It might have been humiliating for her, but funny to us.moreless

We find out what Danny and Sam's Life is with never to meet each other.

I think this episode is awesome! now that desiree is back, she is there to grant every wish she hears and she becomes more powerful. We see a glimpse on how Danny got his powers and stuff. The action of this episode is Kick @$$ too! and The fact that it's very funny! "or she's nuts...really really NUTS"

"She surrendered her individuality for a boy! I'm so proud of her!"

I admit, Danny was selfish in this ep. but it is all changed at the end of the episode! I love Danny and Sam.moreless

This was the VERY first episode of Danny Phantom that I EVER saw! My friend told me to watch it because she thought it was good, I didnt really want to because I thought it would be stupid, but I watched it and fell in love with it! The episode is really funny! The ending is what really made me laugh! When Danny is attempting to fight Deseray (I cant spell) and doesnt know how to control his powers. This is one of my favorites, just cause it was because of this episode that I watch DP! I love DP!moreless

This episdoe was so amazing, I'm not even sure how to start this review. Okay... Umm... There were a whole ton of major Danny and Sam moments in this episode!!!

Sam and Danny are constantly arguing because Paulina's birthday is coming up, and to go, Danny is going to break his promise to watch a movie with Sam (and Tucker. Why do I always forget him?). Finally, unable to take it anymore, Sam wishes she had never met Danny. Desiree overhears this wish, and happily grants it. Unfortunately, Sam was the reason Danny got his ghost powers, and without them, Desiree can easily grant as many wishes as she wants to, as freely as she wants to. It's up to Sam, who luckily still remembers the incident, to try and restore Danny's memory.

Now that was a good summary. Hear that, Literature teachers! MUHAHAHAHA! :)

Moving on, I liked how obvious it was made that if Danny and Sam hadn't been best friends, they would have been undoubtedly attracted to each other, and would have most likely been dating. If you're wondering where I got this from, I'm just basing it on how cool Danny had thought Sam was, and how he had been staring at her with a dazed expression.

Then there was that fake-out make-out. *sighs* That, I can easily admit, was my favorite part of the episode. Danny was the leader this time, and if you looked closely, when they were in Danny's basement, the floating green stuff in the ghost portal forms a heart around them as they 'pretended' to kiss. If that isn't proof that they were meant to be together, then I don't know what is.

I also liked how Sam played an even bigger role in Danny's ghost life when she changed his costume to fit the way she liked it. That 'D' was a great change to the costume. :) And to think, she made up the idea all by herself.

Oh, and there were also some funny moments in this episode. I couldn't stop laughing when the ghost-ray fired from Danny's butt instead of his hand. And when he was so surprised that he could fly ("Where'd my legs go?"), when his legs came back, I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that his arms were the squiggly lines. And I'm laughing now, at that memory.

The very end held the final DxS moment, when Danny skipped going to Paulina's party to hang out with Sam (Oh, wait, I forgot Tucker... Never mind. He's not too important in this episode anyway.) Then in the movie theater, they were staring at each other like the two lovebirds they are... And Tucker ruined that moment, causing them both to blush. It was cute anyway. Go DxS!!!!!!!!!

I think I forgot to mention some more things I like about this episode, but I wrote a little too much about this eppie. I'll be tempted to write more, but I won't. I'm over five times the minimum amount of words here! That's not a good sign! Go DxS!!! (Again.)moreless

- Title: Memory Blank The title of the episode, "Memory Blank" is referring to the memory bank in the human mind, which stores the majority of a person's memories. Edit
- Gi-Normo 6000: Appearance The Gi-Normo 6000 seems to be a parody of the Hummer, a very large SUV that gets only nine miles to the gallon. Edit
- Mr. Lancer: War of the Worlds creature, get away from my youthful charges! Lancer refers to the Femalien as a "War of the Worlds creature." War of the Worlds was originally a novel written by H.G.

Coincidentally, there was a remake of the movie released on June 29, 2005, just five days after this episode premiered. It starred Tom Cruise and was directed by Steven Spielberg. Edit
