I didn't think it felt slapped together. I thought the pacing was really good and had enough twists and emotion to keep me deeply invested. This would likely be considered a drama. I thought the theme was excellently done; the theme was not to conform to society and non-Christian norms. Rather, we should try to emulate how society should ideally be. During the first few scenes, Connie was concerned she was losing relatability because she was deemed too unrealistic with her honest, yet sometimes difficult advice. It isn't always easy doing the right thing, and some audience members thought her advice was too difficult and idealistic. By the end, Connie learns through Bradley (or "Spencer") that doing the right thing and holding to your standards is not only good for yourself, but it can deeply affect those around you. I loved it.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmSecond, the story seemed slapped together and rushed. I was confused if this was a dark mystery, comedy or emotional show. What was the lesson or purpose of it?
Jason basically said Triple J's was slow and he did the investigation for fun. I don't think it'll lead to anything bigger. I love Tasha, though, and if they wanted to being her back, I'd be so down for it! I don't think the writers are interested in making Jason an agent again, although I don't doubt he'll continue to be involved in smaller-scale mysteries. As for the "other agents" line, I'm not sure if it'll mean anything. I would kinda love it if Jillian was secretly an agent, but I doubt it.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmBut.... IS JASON IN THE AGENCY? It seems kind of strange that he would just happen to be investigating a case on the internet and contacting the police about his finds. I am kind of hoping this is the beginning of a new story arch, hopefully involving Tasha.
Overall, I’m not sure what to make of this episode but I think we need to hear the rest of the album to make any conclusions.
P.S. do you think Jason could be the “other agent in Osyssey” that Tasha referred to in the Rydell Revalations?
Yes, It was disappointing not to see a returning character, but I was happy to learn that he was a criminal and there was a bit of a mystery surrounding him. While the caller could have been better, he also could have been worse.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmI have to say this episode was NOT what I expected... but still good in its own right.
First of all, I was a little disappointed that the “mysterious caller” was not a previous villain or character in the show. Who even is this guy?
While I wouldn't say that it was slapped together, I do think that it seemed unfinished. It would be a good episode for a Part 2, or part of a new mystery series, as it never really had a proper conclusion to the mystery side of the story. What happened after Bradley (Spencer) came out of Connie's house? And how did he even get into her house? How did he know which one it was? What did Jason say to the police... how did they react to an antique dealer telling them that there was an escaped criminal who was inside one of his friend's house? I mean, that make me wonder if it is true that he could be in the agency again, or at least working for the government.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmSecond, the story seemed slapped together and rushed.

As you could expect, with an username like mine, I would adore if it Tasha came back. I would be really disappointed if AIO only brought her back for the Rydell Revelations and nothing more. It seems slightly strange they would bring back a character we haven't seen for years only for a few episodes. So fingers crossed, Miss Forbes will make a return sometime soon (maybe in one of the conclusions to all these unfinished mysteries?).MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmBut...

Yes, as Chris would say, "Keep Listening!". I think that it's way to early to make any conclusions yet, so we'll have wait and see.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmOverall, I’m not sure what to make of this episode but I think we need to hear the rest of the album to make any conclusions.
Perhaps... or perhaps not. To be completely honest, Tasha never said that there was an agent. When asked, she only said maybe, which leaves the possibility that there is no other agent wide open. Although it would be amazing to see Jason do something with his life other than sell moldy furniture, I don't think that there will be much of a chance of him working with the government right now. While I do find it strange that he was following escped criminals just for fun, and that he had access to so much information, it might be nothing and the result of a few slow days at the antique shop like he said.MisterCharles wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmP.S. do you think Jason could be the “other agent in Odyssey” that Tasha referred to in the Rydell Revalations?
