Wifi In The Sky

Wifi In the Sky

    This episode doesn't have a listed episode number on the website I'm watching these on and I can't be bothered to just figure it out myself, so I'm writing on this episode next, because I don't think I've seen this one and if my entire life is going to waste away I might as well put some variety into it.

  Alright the episode opens with Tori and Trina being probably the most nightmarish people to have on a plane. In the first 4 minutes they complain about the food, become angered at the speed of the plane, yell at a child, and talk at full volume to a skype call without headphones on. It should also be noted that this plane has maybe 50% of the seats filled, with Tori and Trina just haphazardly putting a pile of luggage on a vacant seat.

   Anyway the plot is just the group trying to create a homework assignment in skype so I can essentially write the entirety of the story in side notes. That being said, this is a surprisingly good episode. The cast all shares a lot of screentime, Cat isn't too dumb, Jade isn't too mean, and the major conflict makes sense and feels right for anyone who has worked on group projects with friends in the past. I never laughed out loud or anything because this is still a childrens show I haven't completely lost my mind yet, but there are some funny parts that seem wittier than normal. 

Ultimately I would say it's a contender for one of the best episodes, and would give it an 8/10.

Side notes:

• The background of Tori's computer has a few jokes in it. Most of the groups usernames are references or jokes, and Rex has his own 'skype' account (RexAndTheCity).
• Additionally, we see parts of everyone's house. Cat has large framed photos of bunnies, Andre lives in a fairly typical older home, Beck has a kind of avant-garde teens room, Jade's room is hilariously dark and gloomy with dead animals in jars on the shelf, a sign that simply says "Revenge", and a computer background that is just a picture of a raven.
• This is the first time someone says "KK", which ends up being a running joke later on in this show and Sam and Cat I think. 
• Robbie is treated strangely as an outcast of the group in this episode. He requests to join the call (which he can see all of his friends are having without him) and everyone groans in annoyance before permitting him to join.
• Robbie is also strangely crippled in this episode. Normally there is some distinction that Rex is being controlled (more or less) by Robbie but his entire premise for calling the group is to complain that his puppet bailed on his plans to see a movie. 
• Their group project is writing a seven page script that night. I'm not saying that's a terribly easy assignment, but it's not like every minute counts. Despite this, the script they come up with is garbage.
• I'm pretty sure Beck drinks a Jarritos orange soda during this. I love Jarritos orange soda.
• Beck and Andre are terrified of seeing Trina's butt as she walks across the field of vision of the camera, for some reason a lot of nick shows do this where annoying character=hideous to everyone around them.
• At one point in the episode, Jade kicks open a door inwards.
• Sinjin, who is normally just kind of creepy presumably to make Robbie not look too much like a completely broken outcast- breaks into Jade's house just to sit in her chair and then video chat her. It's funny in context, but at the same time is frighteningly close to being an actual rapist.
• Andre's grandma punches the computer screen, which for some reason gives everyone else a cracked view of Andre when it should be the other way around. 
• Parez Hilton was somehow convinced to do a cameo in this episode. If this seems weird, wait for the Ke$ha episode.
