#988: The Heavens Declare

[Polehaus53]

Whit modifies the Gallery for a world-hopping journey to challenge Renee Carter's assumption that science and faith are incompatible.

What did everyone think of this first episode of Album 77? Let's discuss!

It was definitely interesting and unique in the way that it was structured. It felt like it was more meant to educate rather than the usual storytelling that goes on in the episodes. I was reminded of the audio drama Jonathan Park in which there are moments within each episode that there is information conveyed for the purpose of education. It is certainly interesting that AIO is doing something similar in this episode.

Overall, I think it was fine, but I need to listen to it again before coming to a conclusion.

I've only listened to the first half of Album 77, but I was intrigued when I first read the concept of this episode.

I feel it's probably aimed more for older listeners, and although I was a little worried about where it might go at first, I think it did a good job of explaining things, and I was intrigued to learn about the whole Galileo situation, which I can't recall having heard of before. I like how Whit acknowledged the church's mistake, as it shows how the role of the church has changed over the centuries, while still maintaining it's primary role of spreading God's word. I'm a little surprised that Eugene wasn't mentioned at all, as he was once in a similar situation to Renae. I imagine that the writers might have planned for him to appear, maybe even instead of Whit, before Will passed. Overall it was a pretty good episode by AIO standards, and was better than I expected it to be.
