Plot[]

It’s Starlight Night, the annual holiday when all the stars in Cyberspace are refreshed for the new year. But Hacker concocts a scheme to darken the stars of cyberspace forever.  He sends Buzz and Delete to stop all production of the new star circuits and take inventor Archimedes away to the Northern Frontier. With the ceremony only hours away, the kids and Digit must find a simple way to make the complex circuits and rescue Archimedes – all before Hacker turns out the lights in cyberspace!

Trivia[]

  • This is the last episode to air in 2004.
  • The December 31, 2010 airing of the episode is the very last Cyberchase episode to air on KCET Los Angeles, California due to the station dropping its affiliation with PBS after 40 years the next morning.
  • The girls' suits while they infiltrate the Grim Wreaker reference those from Fortress of Attitude.
  • When Archimedes says, "…and relight all the cybers in starspace!", it is actually wrong.
  • After Delete says, "That's my favourite holiday, you can't!", Buzz's elbow punches him, making him cry. That's because Buzz is only allowed to use his words, not his elbow in case he's angry.

Allusions[]

  • When Hacker chastises his goons for decorating the interior of his ship for Starlight Night, he tells them "It looks like the Good Ship Lollipop in here". This is a direct reference to the late Shirley Temple's signature song "On the Good Ship Lollipop".
  • The three songs in this episode are sung to the tune of classic Christmas songs, with the lyrics altered to pertain to Starlight Night.
    • We Wish You a Merry Christmas
    • Twelve Days of Christmas
    • Silent Night

Errors[]

  • Hacker states that Black is one of his favourite colors, but his Meet the Cybersquad bio and the series premiere "Lost My Marbles" state that his favourite color is Puce.
  • Eukie's mouth does not move when he says, "Our workers are the best!".
