Album 57: A Call to Something More

[Tikvah]

It only says "image". I want to see this!

[Cbriggs45]

it looks interesting. i am actually wondering what it will be.. A.I.O has done a good job of leaving us hanging.

[TigerintheShadows]

I don't think she's supposed to look shocked. It seems to me like a grimace, like she's pondering over where she's going in life. Also, Eugene figurine in the box.

Whatever her expression is supposed to be, it looks like she has bad eggs under her nose. If she's supposed to look like she's pondering, her face needs to look softer, her mouth should be in the center of her face, and she needs to either be frowning or raising both eyebrows--a single raised eyebrow does not typically accompany a soul-searching expression.

That said, I do like her design in and of itself--the hair and the outfit both suit her. It's not like she can keep the ponytail and green sweater forever. I think the artwork has steadily improved from the pre-50 era; the people are still obviously caricatures, but the art has become much softer and more naturally expressive.

I actually really like the album cover with Connie as the central focus and tons of other little details in the background. I'm assuming that framed picture (the one beside her parents) is Connie as well (wearing the green and ponytail). Definitely peaks my interest in the album.

There comes a time when everyone must look at their life and see where God is leading them. The folks in Odyssey must ponder that question after a series of surprises. Connie goes through a difficult experience and has to figure out how to turn tragedy into triumph. Meanwhile, three generations of the Parker family journey in the Imagination Station to witness the story of the last judge of Israel, leading Camilla to consider what God might be saying to her. It’s a life-changing time in Odyssey as our friends at Whit’s End learn lessons in the midst of excitement and fun.

I'm thinking either Bill or June pass away. Would be interesting. When Mildred passed away, Jack was in charge because Hal had died. That was powerful. Even if you go back to ...But Not Forgotten, the last scene really shows the emotion of the situation. It'll be interesting since they have access to Whit's character. Though I question if Katie and Andre have that kind of chemistry.

Life Expectancy, Parts 1-3
Your Servant Is Listening, Parts 1-2
No Chemistry Whatsoever
More Than a Feeling
Repent after Me
The Friend Formula

I'm also really interested in Repent After Me.

[TigerintheShadows]

The title "More Then A Feeling" indicates less "find your true calling" and more "rock song by Boston". I'm also interested in "No Chemistry Whatsoever"; the title makes me think it has to do with a romance, but it probably has to do with Olivia blowing up a lab table and deciding she's not cut out for the exciting field of biochemistry or something.

[Leonard Meltsner]

No Chemistry Whatsoever sounds like it has a connection to The Friend Formula, and my sister agrees, but it could just be us.

[TigerintheShadows]

This is also entirely possible.

I checked, both actors are still alive, though both are getting up there in years.

heh, been there, kinda.

[Bren]

Just because they are alive doesn't me the character can't pass.

[Jonathan]

Yeah, I know, just throwing that out there anyway.

[Samitude]

I think June Kendall is the one to pass away if any one does. Looking at the cover art I see older house furnishings; older-style couch with doilies, rotary-dial telephone, etc. I'm guessing that Connie is going through her mother's things and feeling sad. We know there's an Odyssey hospital scene (Dr. Graham) and that the actor who plays Bill Kendall has been mentioned. He probably is in Odyssey to comfort Connie on her mother's passing. Maybe Shona's character is a hospital patient with whom Connie keeps in contact.

[Christian A.]

That's some of the best deductive reasoning and speculation I've heard so far. Nice thinking, Samitude.

[Skylerbuck]

I agree with Leonard that it seems connected between The Friend Formula, and No Chemistry Whatsoever.

[TigerintheShadows]

That is a good connection, and I'm seriously wondering if they're going to include obscure chemistry references courtesy of Eugene.

Really, really want it to be about my Trandy babies. #desperate #holdingouthope

[Leonard Meltsner]

I'm afraid your ship is taking on water.

[TigerintheShadows]

My ships never take on water.

Except for Zutara. And TwiMac. And, it would seem, SoarinDash.

[Leonard Meltsner]

I could see SoarinDash easily happening canonically.

[Peachey Keen]

What do you guys think about Camilla, Eva, and Lucia being the ones in the Imagination Station in Your Servant Is Listening?

All I want is the old (and the best) Imagination Station to be used!
