Nothin' but Net

"How fast is the speed of light?"
Ralphie

Nothin' but Net (Internet) is the fourth episode of the second season of The Magic School Bus Rides Again. It first released on Netflix worldwide on April 13, 2018.

Ms. Frizzle’s outfit[]

In this episode, Ms. Frizzle’s dress has a circuit board pattern. Her necklace pendant is a PCB.

  • This time, Ms. Frizzle's skirt is not 86CEEF blue, which is typically included in the design. Instead, the blue is darker.

Descriptions[]

  • Netflix: Ms. Frizzle and the class race across the internet to recover a digitized Arnold before Jyoti's grandmother accidentally deletes him.
  • Scholastic Entertainment: Jyoti always wants to make her Grandma's birthday special, even if she does live across the ocean. This year, Jyoti planned to email her a "virtual hug," but Arnold got in the way, digitized himself, and now races across the Internet at nearly the speed of light! Jyoti and the class digitize themselves, too, and the chase is on! As they figure out how to navigate the Internet, they hope to catch poor Arnold and all his packets before he winds up in Grandma's email box – where he could possibly get deleted!

Allusions[]

  • American Standard Code for Information Interchange - Ms. Frizzle converts a quote from her uncle ASCII that he said in binary to actual ASCII.
  • Casper the Friendly Ghost - Arnold calls Jyoti's hologram a "friendly ghost".
  • World of Warcraft - Ms. Frizzle mentions that Parīkṣā is good at the in-universe game, World of Bladecraft, a parody of this video game series.

Trivia[]

  • Jyoti's maternal grandmother, Parīkṣā, made her speaking debut and first appearance in this episode.
    • The word Jyoti used to refer to her, नानी (nānī), means "maternal grandmother" in Hindi. However, in the episode descriptions, "नानी" is translated into English as “grandma” instead.
  • The binary that Ms. Frizzle's Uncle ASCII said is transliterated into the ISO Basic Latin alphabet (ASCII) as "Yep".
    • Ms. Frizzle’s uncle ASCII's name is, in fact, an homage to ASCII, a character encoding standard for telecommunications that includes the basic numbers, punctuation, symbols, and the main 26 letters of the Latin alphabet.
  • In Gets Programmed, the original series episode on computers, all the characters that displayed on the computer were characters from the Greek & Coptic block in Unicode. In this episode, numbers are displayed, meaning that the characters shown in this episode are from Basic Latin.
  • When the class is learning about binary code, Dorothy Ann mentions Unicode, a character encoding system for most of the world's writing and number systems, as well as symbols, dingbats, mathematical operators, and emoji.
  • This is the first episode where Ms. Frizzle's skirt does not include the 86CEEF blue that is typically included in the design.
  • This is the first time Wanda uses her catchphrase "What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?" in The Magic School Bus Rides Again. In subsequent episodes, she paraphrases it.
  • Arnold's calling Jyoti's hologram a "friendly ghost" is a shoutout to Casper, The Friendly Ghost.
