Re: #1012-1013: Crossing the Line, Parts 1-2

What episode did Jules Set off fireworks illegally in city limits? because I only remember Buck doing that in one of The Best is Yet to Come 4 part episodes. That would be in "Connie the Counselor" in Album 62, Jules' first episode retuning to Odyssey since The Ties That Bind. I need to r...

Re: #1014 Just Another Day

I need to listen to this again. At some point. As I have stated before, my investment in this ongoing Rydell arc has greatly diminished. But I do have some thoughts on this episode. I thought this episode was basically like "Have You No Selpurcs?" with Whit having Morrie and Suzu going out...

Re: #1016—1017 On The Edge

I need to listen again, but I have thoughts. Jules had growth! \:D/ Unbelievable! :mad: It was going to have to come to a near death experience for her to get here. I am very surprised. Although I would want to see how she acts in the future before making any judgements, consider my extremely low op...

Re: #1016—1017 On The Edge

I need to listen again, but here are my thoughts on part 1: First off, how is a band supposed to stay together if its members are always fighting? They need to do some team building activities. Bridget's appearance in this episode at the drive through at Burger World through felt really random. It w...

Re: The Blackgaard Chronicles Book 6, 7 and 8

So I have yet to read any of the Blackgaard Chronicle books. Are they simply a rehashing of the series, or do they expound and improve upon it? Thanks. :) Great question! It is not merely a rehashing of the audio series. While a good amount of it is adapting episodes into book form, it is also prov...

Very greatly thought out! :clap: As you said, the way that the characters are portrayed in terms of one being a come...

#1012-1013: Crossing the Line, Parts 1-2

I honestly have never been a huge fan of Jules. She crossed all my lines a long time ago. As early back as her return to Odyssey in Album 62 and her behavior in Album 63. Looks like in these episodes she is once again wrecking vehicles. CRIMINAL!! :mad: I would like to see if anyone still likes Jul...

#1011: The Picture Day Plot

I liked this episode! I generally enjoy studying Presidents for fun and some of my research has included the Secret Service. I thought it was fun hearing Buddy's 'movie mode' throughout the episode. We got hear from Carrie Daniels again, who appeared in "Two's Company, Four's a Crowd" in A...

#1007: Up His Sleeve

If I had actually watched Gordon Ramsey before I would probably appreciate it more. But it was still a fun reference. :) Wooton and Penny were fun in this episode, and I liked that there is continuity from, "In for A Penny" in this episode. One thing that annoys me is when something happen...

The final episode of Album 78, featuring the finally-now-appearing-in-the-mainstream-episodes character Renee D. Carter! This episode was interesting.

Re: #1000: Kriss Crossed Part 1

Here are some of my thoughts on the first part: I am a bit disappointed that nothing special was done for the 1,000th episode. Chris introduced it as the 1,000th episode, but otherwise it was just a regular episode. I think that the AIO Team should have done something like they did with episode 500....

A very relevant episode and themes for this time and for AIO's audience as they may be starting to get jobs and experience in the real world. The theme of integrity,...
