To be fair, he was only afforded the option of characters he had already interacted with. She's really the only option for a romantic interest but a terrible one at that.Polehaus53 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 8:36 pmBy the way, has anyone listened to the Raspberry Ripple Podcast's interview with Atticus Shaffer?

Oh, yeah. I must have missed that point. But agreed, Emily is not a good choice!Monica Stone wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 3:56 pmTo be fair, he was only afforded the option of characters he had already interacted with.

Welcome cheesesoup123!! We're happy to have you!! As you may have been able to tell, we've been a bit inactive lately but I'm hoping I'll be able to come on more frequently and help liven this klub up a bit.
Or as none of them are super active anymore (not that I am either lol), send me a PM requesting to be in the usergroup and I will add you in asap!Polehaus53 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 6:21 pmBy the way, I just discovered that the Soda Shop has an E.R.K. usergroup that we can join! Just go to your user control panel, click on the "usergroups" tab and select the option called "The ERK". One of the group leaders (Either Pound Foolish, Aftershocker, or Rosy) will have to approve you, and then the group will be displayed in your profile. I recently requested permission to join the usergroup, so I suggest everyone else do the same.
Thanks, Belle! I'll remember that in the future. Good to see you back, by the way.Belle wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:18 pmOr as none of them are super active anymore (not that I am either lol), send me a PM requesting to be in the usergroup and I will add you in asap!Polehaus53 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 6:21 pmBy the way, I just discovered that the Soda Shop has an E.R.K. usergroup that we can join!

(I thought I responded to this. I must have missed it.) What you’re saying does make sense. The Odyssey team seems to be moving on to a new era of characters. The Perkins family, the Calhoun family, and lots of other new characters. Emily may indeed be next. But I sincerely hope Emily does not get written off the show. There definitely are other things that can be done with her, especially considering the prominent role she is currently playing in this Rydell storyline. We’ll just have to see how the rest of the Rydell Saga goes.Monica Stone wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:54 pmWhenever Emily's story about her fallout with the Rydells comes to a close, I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote her off the show. If, say, the arc ends with her remaining a solo detective, she may be phased off the show. I personally think there are many stories you could tell with her character, but the writers might just want to write her off after her part in the Rydell arc comes to a close. She is the longest-running kid character in real-life time (followed very closely by Jay). The writers seem to have phased the Parkers out, Emily might be next.
Lol, it would be funny if Morris was traumatized. Maybe then he'll face up to the fact that what he did was wrong. I would like to see what consequences they have, like Whit mentioned. I'd also like to see Whit and the Rydells together. I wonder how it's working out. Emily will most likely end up joining the team? I don't know, I guess AIO wouldn't even bother to bring it up if Emily said no, because then it would just cancel out and be non-existent in the saga?Polehaus53 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 10:13 pm(Hey, you know what would be cool? If it was a life-threatening situation similar to what Morrie did to Emily in “A Sacrificial Escape”. Then Morrie could also be traumatized! HA! Okay, no, I'm not really serious. But it would be interesting if that was the case.)
Holy cow though, I would absolutely lose it! I get "Worst Day Ever" vibes from this scenario, where you are enjoying the episode but at the same time, you just want the suffering to end (especially with the reveal about Mandy's cat at the end big sad).Monica Stone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:05 pmIf Emily falls from a ski lift, I'll definitely feel bad for my gal, but it'll make Wilson's "one of three will fall" so hilariously on the nose. It will be both literal and metaphorical. Also, does Emily need to be traumatized more to start questioning her life and faith? She's already been through so much but I can see how an accident would be the tipping point for her. But geez, the writing team has it out for her.
I'm actually really excited Marshal is hopping on board for this one. I think currently he is probably my favorite writer in terms of themes and stuff like that. Not that I don't trust our man Phil, but having Marshal along just puts me at ease a bit, especially seeing how he's dealt with delicate issues as of late.Monica Stone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:05 pmOn the latest Official Podcast, Phil confirmed that he and Marshal Younger are collaborating on the storyline hinted at towards the end of "The Christmas Bells." This checks out because Marshal Younger mentioned at Sonic Con how he pitched a storyline about a character losing her faith and it was approved and in development.
I would also like to see this. Before “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” was released, I had assumed that the episode would be about Whit taking the Rydell kids into his house and getting them settled in. I would like it if "The Team" was about this. It would be interesting to see. How are the Rydells and Whit getting along? What does Jason think of the kids? And, of course, what does Emily think of them living with Mr. Whittaker?cheesesoup123 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:14 pmI'd also like to see Whit and the Rydells together.

Good point! I didn’t think of that. It is likely that she will join them. The question I have is how she will end up joining? Will she be talked into it in the first scene of “The Team”? Or will the whole episode be about her avoiding them and joining them in the very last scene of the episode? I’m thinking that the three of them will somehow get thrown together and forced to work together as a team.cheesesoup123 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:14 pmEmily will most likely end up joining the team?

Ah, yes, the recently released album 71 cover art and episode titles. I can’t make out a head on the stretcher, but I agree that it is most likely Emily. I also agree, an injury would be enough for her to lose her faith. One idea I have is that the entirety of album 71 will be leading up to the cover art and then she loses her faith after the injury. Hopefully by the end of the album, she will get her faith back.cheesesoup123 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:14 pmSomehow, Emily will lose her faith, I don't know how that's going to happen, but maybe if she joins the Rydells, she will start solving cases or doing stuff with them and such. Maybe she'll become affected by them, influenced, and stop believing in God. Like, she would question why she needs faith?
Also, after seeing the album cover art, I tried to zoom in, tho it isn't the best quality. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like a blond person on the stretcher. Could be emily? I think Higher than our Ways (grief) is about the cover. Maybe something tragic happens to her that causes her to lose her faith! Like if she got injured and God didn't heal her or something like that, then she would decide that it was useless to believe in God and lose her faith.
That would be interesting! I agree that it would probably be a 2-part episode if it was Whit, though.cheesesoup123 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 6:14 pmCrazy idea: What if the person was Whit that got injured. I know that it's a little out-of-this-world but it could happen... I mean that would defiantly cause grief but then he would obviously get better, because there is no way Odyssey would harm him with only a 1 parter
Any ideas? All in all, I'm so excited for the new album, I might end up liking it more than Album 70.
Monica Stone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:05 pm"Higher Than Our Ways" probably depicts the cover art. It could be a horrible attempt at a pun (hahaha ski lifts are high...right? so funny!).
If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that the AIO team is the master at making puns. Some recent examples include “Dinner Roll Models”, “Thirty Jays Hath September” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off”. Whether it is with episode titles or character names (I’m thinking about Tanyer Hyde from “The Conscientious Cross-Guard” right now and laughing), the AIO team does them well. “Higher than Our Ways” would work well as a pun. Yes, ski lifts are pretty high up, that’s hilarious! Quite punny. I wonder if it’s necessary for the AIO team to make so many puns, though, especially if “Higher Than Our Ways” will include a traumatic experience.Monica Stone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:05 pmIf Emily falls from a ski lift, I'll definitely feel bad for my gal, but it'll make Wilson's "one of three will fall" so hilariously on the nose.

Yeah, I can see that as well. I think throughout album 71 Emily will be having difficult encounters with Whit and the Rydell kids and then her injury will be what ultimately results in her losing her faith. Like I said, let's hope she gets it back by the end of the album.Monica Stone wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:05 pmAlso, does Emily need to be traumatized more to start questioning her life and faith?

Indeed. Hopefully, after all of this is over, we will see some aftermath episodes with Emily Jones going on a nice vacation. Or getting therapy. But hey, at least the writers are getting sympathy from the fans for her!
Indeed he has. His episodes “Jumping Off, Jumping In” and “The Protector” dealt with trauma and were very well done. Hopefully he will handle Emily’s situation as well as he did with Bridget.MonkeyDude wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:06 amI'm actually really excited Marshal is hopping on board for this one.

Not bad at all, I think that’s pretty good!

The Team has been released! Well, gang, what's the analysis on Emily?
