#1036: What's the Catch?

What are everyone's thoughts on this episode? It looks as though, following up from the ending of the episode "As Iron Sharpens Iron", Bridget has started using the virtual friend app. One thing that I noticed is that she, at the start of the episode, begins by holding the created virtual ...

#1035: Word in the Hallway

What did everyone think about this episode? We've got a few new characters in here: Von Hartmann, Cameron Morris, and Nicole. For me it never clicked that Cameron Morris is the brother of Kandy Morris until I saw it on AIOWiki. But it makes sense: Kandy did said to her mother in “As Iron Sharpens Ir...

#1033-1034: The Prodigal Twin, Parts 1-2

This two-part Bassett family episode released a bit ago. How did everyone like it? For myself, I enjoyed hearing from Wellington again! I liked that we got to hear more about his and Wooton's childhood together and their relationship with their father. I also enjoy hearing Winston Bassett again! It ...

Re: #1031: Now Hiring

I liked this episode! We are entering a new era of Odyssey and I think this episode was a fine introduction to it. We have new kids, Sophie and Leo, as well as a new hire who we will now be seeing around: Paxton Kleinhouser III, who I think of as a sort of protégé Eugene Meltsner. He came in, like E...

Re: What was the last TV show you watched?

I have actually have been watching some shows recently. Since my last post here, I have watched just about all of the Marvel shows. The best ones in my opinion are Hawkeye and Moon Knight , I have watched both shows a couple of times. More recently, I watched both seasons of Marvel’s old 2015-2016 s...

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...

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...

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...

#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...
