Re: PROTEST CONNIE NOT BEING MARRIED!!

I knew you hadn't said that, so I wanted to make sure I didn't try to put you down on record as necessarily having made that conclusion yourself. I brought it up because I do think it's a common track people go down when they're talking about the verse, though. If you say it's 'equally valid', that'...

Re: PROTEST CONNIE NOT BEING MARRIED!!

My comment on the Facebook group link (albeit before I read the petition's full text): I'm not crazy about there being some directorial decision that 'Connie must never get married', but the alternative to that isn't necessarily 'let's marry her off as soon as practicable'. There's nothing wrong wit...

Re: Ask Me Odyssey Trivia Questions

Es good, da. There's also a black cat in Robyn's dream sequence in "Bad Luck"; it can be heard twice, once clearly when Jesse gives it to Robyn, then mewing in the background a moment later. - In accordance with your request, let's up the ante. ;) Don't feel you have to rush through this o...

Re: Ask Me Odyssey Trivia Questions

Pretty good! I might dispute over one or two of those, but it's well in excess of 2 in any case. "Best Face Forward" was a good catch; I hadn't thought of that one! In "Life of the Party" Whit is apparently unable to fix the freezer, to the point that he has to give quantities of...

Re: Ask Me Odyssey Trivia Questions

The first difference you're thinking of is his "scientific" way of saying his lines, which considerably lessens in the post-Novacom eras. That is a great guess, and it's true. I have to confess the one I was thinking of was much more specific and nitpicky, though. ;) In this episode Eugen...

Re: Ask Me Odyssey Trivia Questions

I haven't heard too many other shows that would apply here, but I know of a partial copy. In Iliad House episode #1: “First Impressions,” Phil Lollar reuses the first flashback scene from “Memories of Jerry.” (Not sure if that counts to answer the original question asked, but that’s my best.) Good ...

Re: Ask Me Odyssey Trivia Questions

This is sort of a multi-show/cast challenge, but I'll shoot anyway. Maybe you will find it interesting. It's certainly obscure! Phil Lollar has played a key role in Odyssey, but also in work for many other Christian kids' radio shows. At times he has a tendency to 'reuse' script material from one sh...

The funeral this Tuesday

Very soon #aio favorite L (known to some as 321tumbler) will be going on a journey from which she will never return exactly 100% the same as she was. Yes, she will be going to COLLEGE, which naturally means we will NEVER EVER SEE HER AGAIN EVER, for EEEONS and ZILLLLIONS OF YEARS. To commemorate thi...

Re: Characters Kicked Out of Whit's End

Two episodes I'm not sure count as canon ;), but still include representative incidents:

Whit sends *Connie* home in "Fences".
Whit sends everyone but Connie and Eugene home in "Idol Minds".

Re: Odyssey Adventure Comparison System 3.0.1

It's been a long night and I'm just about dead tired, so I'll make this announcement beautifully brief. After extensive work on a few things that'll be visible to the public and more things that won't, I'm pleased to announce that we're leapfrogging the planned release to instead introduce to you OA...

Re: Odyssey Adventure Comparison System 2.6.1

Back in February SG asked for 'denotations' for certain categories of episodes. I thought it was a pretty good idea and that the concept could stand some degree of expansion. So, I've been working for the past little while on a system to help categorize episodes. It's gotten good enough that I feel ...

Re: All for the Guest

I thought it was a pretty good episode overall. Not perhaps the most sound implementation of the plot, but fun and easy to listen to with the "Wooton/Penny" atmosphere, interesting characters, and a good concept. It's not a point that gets expressly hit on here, but it shows that sometimes...

Rightly Dividing - Spoileriffic

New album episode out today for the OAClub. A few interesting developments that I thought I'd make note of: *) A number of people probably expected the Sarah Keimig-inspired episode to center primarily or largely around 'her' character. I was a little surprised when she was a relatively minor part o...

Characters Kicked Out of Whit's End

For the early talk about Andre Stojka's Whit being 'too nice', the thought occurred to me that Whit's possibly kicked people out of Whit's End at a higher rate recently than in all the last 30 years. I was curious about whether this is actually true or not, though, so I thought I'd start to compile ...

Re: Take Every Thought Captive

Well, for something of a fringe character, starting from when she was introduced in Kidsboro, she's been around a long time now; longer than Ryan, Barrett, Priscilla, even Nelson, and other kids who were regulars or semi-regulars. It'd make sense if there aren't plans to include her in any further e...

Take Every Thought Captive

I thought I'd make a topic to comment on last month's adventure and my experience and thoughts of it. I'd been looking forward to hearing it for a long time because I thought it'd be a good episode, as Room of Consequence shows usually are. I thought it might even be a potentially powerful episode, ...

Re: The Darkest AIO episode.

I think C&C is the all-time champion as far as darkness goes. I was always uncomfortable with it, strongly enough that I didn't listen to it for probably a decade after hearing it when I was younger, and when I most recently did as an 'adult' (since it was so long ago I didn't remember it), it w...

Re: Odyssey Adventure Comparison System 2.5

This project is kinda stressing me out. ;) Themes are the gift that keeps on giving -- hassle. At this point, my plan is to release the theme version of OACS as 2.6, in a sort of 'public beta'. 3.0 will come later and hopefully incorporate more features besides theme work. -- Sat Apr 13, 2019 10:04 ...
