[ MEGATHREAD ] S1.E5 ∙ Tori's Magic Locker | Episode Discussion
A myth that Tori Vega's old locker grants wishes sparks an acting contest that derails Qwest's date and adds fuel to Oscar and Emmy's sibling rivalry.

Not great they have to rip off a Victorious plot beat by beat this early into the show. The wrestler and the roast comedian were the funniest.

While slightly less relevant, icarly also had an episode where there was a competition for a popular/high demand locker.
Seems like they're taking elements of multiple Nickelodeon shows.

the one problem I have with the episode is, if Tori's locker is some prized posession now, why is it in the wrong spot? Correct me if I'm wrong but in the OG show wasn't Tori's locker on the other side of the hallway closer to the janitors closet and not near the stairs? Why did the reboot move it? ngl I also did appreciate the throwback to Sikowitz telling the kids to pretend to be characters in the OG show

It was most likely moved over there as a legacy keepsake. It’s in its own area away from the main lockers students use elsewhere. That way by not being in its original position it won’t interfere with the current students going there since it was right in the middle of the hallway. Or…they just wanted the old locker’s position to be for the new kids. Either way.

Trina's disguises were more interesting than the characters the students had to pretend to be. Also it wasn't her locker to give away as a prize, think the show for some reason forgets Helen has the power not Trina.

I wish Jen stayed more actually, I thought her Nun persona could be funny.....Emmy was actually the best and the funniest! Qwest was also good! Daniella Monet was like always hilarious with her costumes things and spying on the group, Oscar song was actually nice, I liked it!

Got that Dog in me was another fun song to me 😭. Qwest beating up that girl’s brother was also hilarious.

Haven’t watched the episode but I noticed on the preview thumbnail that a certain disgraced creator’s face has been replaced with a smiley face emoji on the inside of Tori’s locker. Makes me wonder what the in-universe explanation for the change would be. Did the same controversies that happened in real life also happen within the show? Did someone vandalize Tori’s locker with a smiley face sticker offscreen after the last episode? I guess we’ll never know because no way they are ever acknowledging this any further.
