Reboot

[Zerlina]

I used to love this show, and just recently got back into it (when I realized every episode is on youtube ). Given the high level of geek-dom involved (come on, there's a scene where a guy does standup in binary)

There's been news for some time of three new movies, but from what I've heard, they're not going to finish off the cliffhanger, they're juts going to start a new story...

(from Reboot.com)

"Season 4 of ReBoot ended on a famous cliffhanger. While some aspects of that cliffhanger were resolved in a three-part web comic series, the theatrical feature film will be a departure from the series in this regard. It is our intention to create a new ReBoot adventure that seasoned fans will enjoy exploring while simultaneously introducing the rich world of Mainframe to a whole new audience"


Anyway, with that bad news I thought I'd ask around here to see if anyone else watched it/has any good memories of Reboot, or if anyone followed the comics etc.



For those of you who don't know, Reboot was an awesome show (the first fully computer animated TV show)...the first season and a half are very episodic, but when the plot gets real, it gets real. Even though the animation's a bit dated now, I highly suggest watching Reboot since it's really well written, and isn't short on geek jokes.

Reboot was so awesome.

Did it end on a cliffhanger? I remember that the kid and the memaid chick went out onto teh internets to find Bob and bring him back to the city to save it. And I'm pretty sure they did. Yay! I think. Isn't that how it ended?

Nope, not how it ended at all.

[spoiler]
After they save the city from Megabyte, Mainframe goes to war with the Guardians who are infected by Daemon. After she infects all the main characters (except Frisket and young Enzo), she initiates a command that forces the whole net to go through a process which will basically delete everything. Hexidecimal (now a benign virus) sacrifices herself by splitting her data through the net along with the cure for the infection.

Afterward, Dot proposes to Bob, but after he accepts, a portal to the web opens and The Surfer shows up with another Bob. After some time, Dot decides to marry the other Bob (not "Glitch-Bob") but right when they're about to get married, Bob turns into Megabyte, whose now become a Trojan horse. He infects the principal office, and takes young Enzo hostage.

And that's where it ends.

Really? I don't remember any of that at all. Huh. Maybe something happened to the channel that was airing it my area and I never saw the final episodes.

Are you from the UK? I heard that the network that was airing it there thought that the end of the series was too dark so they pulled the plug. I think in the states, they also ended it early...

Reboot is one of my favorite animated series. I do kinda look forward to the movies, and I hope they don't stray too far from the original style. Like I hope they don't get live actors for instance, that usually messes things up. And I hope they accurately portray the characters.

I loved it.

[Red Giant]

I never heard of it :/

I loved it.

NO EXCUSE

[Zerlina]

Wikipedia says it started airing at like, 1994. I dont think I could even walk back then.

I feel old.

[Archem]

Me, too.

****ing 2.5D, am I right?

[Darkfox]

What're you guys talking about? I AM old.

As for favorite characters... I liked Hack and Slash, as well as Hex.
