The Soda Shop Message Boards

I wanted to post this a long time ago, but the Soda Shop was down, and I couldn't.

The title is The cover art is The summary is The episode titles are Of course, some of us are looking forward to the Rydell Revelations. I'm also curious to see what the episode For a Song is about.

If I remember correctly, it's an episode with the high school kids and I think they're putting on a musical??? So it's got Buck and Jules in it at least, but I don't know that I recognized any other actors. There will be songs though! And this is the first episode Abigail Geiger has written! This is the first album in a very long while where I'm equally excited for every episode coming out on it. Do we think Jules is going back to LA?

Personally, I don't think she's going back, mainly because of an upcoming episode called Auto Response (might be a Club episode) with Jules in it. Unless it comes out before this album.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the preview of The Rydell Revelations?

Maybe Odyssey is going to copy Connie's salvation, you know bring Jules back to California in the first part and then in part two she becomes a Christian. Which in that case I hope they don't do a direct copy, but I do hope Jules and maybe Buck become Christians in this episode...maybe!

Honestly, I'd be rather disappointed if they copied Connie's salvation story that closely for Jules. They've done so so many parallels between Connie and Jules and at this point I would appreciate it if they would show how Jules is her own person, not her sister's clone.

Yeah, same here.

YES. I'm trying not to be TOO excited about it, but I definitely am.

SAME. Jules needs her own story, and she needs to come to Christ in her own way. I personally think that both Jules and Buck have a bit more character development left to do (or a majorly traumatic life event would do the trick, too) before they're at a place where they're ready to become Christians.

My first thought when I found out about the California Dreams episodes was that they were going to write Jules off the show, which would be a big bummer in my opinion. But, honestly, I have no idea what to expect from these episodes, and that's what's making me so excited for them to come out!

Exactly. I feel like these are the first episodes in a long time that are coming out and we don't know the plots of any of them. I think I like things better that way. Odyssey has a tendency to spoil the episodes, so I'm glad they're not doing that here. But they also sometimes just completely misrepresent what the episode is about, so we'll have to see. Either way, I'm excited to hear from the characters in these episodes. Definitely would be bothered if Jules became a Christian so soon unless they somehow convince us it's right for the character. Mostly, I don't want them to copy 'Connie,' like you're saying.

Thanks to a glitch on the Club, we have the official summaries for each episode!

The Rydell Revelations, part 1 The Rydell Revelations, part 2 The Rydell Revelations, part 3 For a Song California Dreams, part 1 California Dreams, part 2 So, what are your thoughts about this additional information?

Edit: I re-read the summary for For a Song, and it says Jules is writing songs about 'what's going on at her school'. Could this be connected to the Rydell Saga? That would be interesting.

I am more exited for Part 2 and 3 than Part 1. In my eyes here is how the three parter will evolve:
Part 1: Is the investigation part, maybe some revealing at the end of the episode.
Part 2: This will reveal Morrie’s motives and other things.
Part 3: Reveals that there were more people behind it, Whit, Emily, and Morrie track them down. It also includes the final wrap up for this part of the saga.

With the Rydell Revelations behind us, we move on to the second half of the album, starring Jules Kendall.
I have some theories for these three episodes:
For A Song: Jules begins publishing her music on social media and as the summary suggests, she competes against Valerie and comes out on top.
California Dreams, Part 1: Jules' mother returns for Jules because of her sudden fame. My guess is that she wants Jules to take her career further in California. Jules, who is feeling confident because of her fame, agrees. Buck and Connie know that she's going to mess up/realize something (what, I'm not sure), but Jules can't see it at the moment.
Part 2: Everything goes well at first, but Jules' career reaches a breaking point as Buck and Connie foresaw and she decides to return to Odyssey. It's likely that Jules will become a Christian upon her return, but like you guys said, I hope they don't copy Connie's conversion.

Well, I'll probably be wrong about these, but hey.
