History Headscratchers / CodeLyoko

* Ok this is something thats confused me for awhile. Whenever a Return To The Past, is initiated, Jermie is shown pressing a button on his keyboard to activate it, but several times its been able to be activated while Jermie wasnt at the keyboard, so whats triggering it when he isn't there? and if it does it automatically why does Jermie need to push a button?

** Considering the lip sync issues and whatnot, I think they usually handle it pretty well. The voices in the first episode were awful, but they found their way soon enough. The only big problem is that there seem to be a quite few occasions where Jérémie speaks with Aelita's voice [[TalkingToHimself (they have the same voice actor)]].

** The obvious answer is RuleOfDrama, but there are possible InUniverse explanations. Jeremy's top priority in the first two seasons is severing Aelita's connection to Lyoko, so it wouldn't make sense to spend time and effort improving her avatar's capabilities. Also, some episodes suggest that programming new weapons/powers is a very complex procedure. Jeremy was never able to replicate the improved weapons created by XANA in "Franz Hopper", and when he did try to give Odd a special power in "Triple Troible", the results were disastrous.

* This is something that occurred to me in a rewatch; why did Jeremy never program a weapon for Aelita until season 3? He was shown capable enough of editing the Lyoko avatars and creating new vehicles for him, so why did he never bother to give Aelita a way to defender herself, especially when the Scyphozoa was after her. Heck, even something as simple as duplicating one of Ulrich's katanas for her would have solves a ''lot'' of problems in the early parts of the series.

* Okay. In "Zero-Gravity Zone", Ulrich skips the mission to play in the soccer game. Jérémie and the rest argue over what the right thing to do was, but ''nobody'' thought to suggest to him that he skip the game, join the Lyoko Warriors for the mission, and just play the game after they inevitably Return to the Past. IdiotPlot much?

* This isn't a question, but did anyone else think it was funny in the second last episode when they left William behind (in case he was brainwashed again), but instead he was possessed anyway on Earth and ended up causing more trouble than he would have in Lyoko?
** This doesn't aim so much at funny, but certainly count as [[{{Irony}} ironic]].
** It seemed to this troper like the Lyoko Warrior immunity to XANA comes from making a ''successful'' trip to Lyoko and back, rather than just going into it. Since William was possessed during his first trip, and nobody thought to immunize him afterward by sending him on a quick second trip like they did Jérémie, they really brought his second possession by XANA on themselves.
*** Or more likely, XANA had been in control of William for such a long time that he could use a "backdoor entrance" (to keep with computer analogies) to his mind, able to circumvent the usual immunity of the Lyoko Warriors to specter possession. At least that's how I perceived the event.
*** Huh, I was under the impression that Lyoko Warrior immunity is something that you build up while fighting XANA over time. Jérémie doesn't have it because he only fought XANA once and was scared away. He's aware of this, that's why he said in the episode where they tried to immunize him that instead he'd just "stay away from ghosts for now on." William doesn't have it because he only managed to fight XANA for a short time before he was possessed.
