What is the Best Recent Album and Why?

The subject line begs the question I've wanted to hear others respond to. What is the best recent album and why? Odyssey has its highs and lows. Some albums are leagues better than others. What is the best album in, say, the last four years (or since 2017)? Options are the following: Album 62: Let's...

Re: Monica Attempts to Write Fanfic

I appreciate the support! It is very encouraging and I'm glad you guys found enjoyment in this. I don't like all AIO fan fiction (or, for that matter, all of actual AIO ;) ), but yours is right on the mark. You portray a vulnerable and wounded character very well. It's the sort of piece that gets pe...

Re: The E.R.K. (Emily Rules Klub)

Excellent thoughts, everyone. I don't have time to reply to you guys individually but I'll share my general theories for the future of Miss Emily Jones. "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 fun...

Re: Character of the Week

There is too much agreement on this thread without opposing nominations. I absolutely love Bart, but we need a lil competition here. ;) I both nominate and vote for Tom Riley (Walker Edmiston character vs. Walker Edmiston character!). He's honestly kinda underrated. I love his dynamics with others. ...

Monica Attempts to Write Fanfic

It shouldn't come as a surprise to you guys that I love writing. But to be perfectly honest, I rarely write any sort of fiction (fanfiction or otherwise) and enjoy writing about fiction which I am passionate about. But every so often, I love writing one-shots, so this thread is dedicated to any one-...

Very well put, Monica Stone. You have convinced me. I hereby change my vote to Bryan Dern.
*beams* I feel honored that I could have convinced you! Ted Humphries is a worthy candidate, but Bryan Dern is an all-time favorite of mine.

Re: Character of the Week

Ooh, Ted Humphries is great in "Breaking News"! Such an underrated episode. I will counter you for the heck of it with Bryan Dern. I nominate him. He never fails to make me laugh. His dedication to whatever brings him the most attention, whether good or bad (mostly bad), is great. I won't ...

Have Your Deepest Desires/Predictions Ever Come True?

As a fan, it's natural to want certain things from our favorite characters and storylines. Maybe you've been pushing for a character to receive closure, return after a long absence (*stares longingly at my own username*), or just get a happy ending. Or maybe you've been enjoying a storyline and hope...

Re: Album 71

Either way, I'm really excited and I just love and admire the ways that Odyssey and Focus deal with just the hardest of topics and present them to kids in a fun, sometimes comedic, but serious and meaningful way. They seriously made me cry when I listened to the episode where Connie's mom died. So ...

Re: 2021 AIO Club Bracket Challenge

There were days I missed voting in this, but I voted whenever I could! For some reason, the app would crash sometimes when I tried hitting the link to vote. I am bummed that "Find a Penny" was the ultimate winner. That episode won the Averys a few years ago, so I guess it makes sense but i...

Yay for the Bridget vote! She's so great.

It looks like we'll probably have a tie again. If anybody would like to vote for Bridget, go ahead. ;)

Jim Cummings, who played King Lawrence in the "Passages" episodes, voiced Ed, a Hyena, and a mole that talks to Zazu in the 1994 animated movie The Lion King . He also sang parts of the "Be Prepared" song after Jeremy Irons, voice of Scar, blew his voice. Jim Cummings is an extr...

Re: The E.R.K. (Emily Rules Klub)

Man, I've been so inactive & distanced from the fan community lately. Not because I've lost my love for Odyssey, but because my life is consumed by other things & I have not had the time to listen to or rant about Odyssey. I have been also really bad at keeping up with my favorite Odyssey po...

Explain Episodes Badly

Perhaps many of you are aware of the trend awhile back where people describe film plots badly. The trend's title is self-explanatory. I thought it would be fun to describe Odyssey episodes badly! There are so many episodes and so many can easily be described in a weird way. The Ties That Bind : Elde...

Re: 909: Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off

So, why did Suzu randomly know the number of the secretary, and apparently the principal, if she wasn't trying to fake that the phones weren't hers? (like Emily suggested) Morrie's explanation was that she was good at remembering things. It was probably just a red herring in the story. Not to menti...
