The Town of Odyssey

What are your thoughts??


Can't post untill Saturday!

Yay! Thanks, Catspaw!

I loved the episode. I gave it a four, only because I thought that it wasn't as good as last weeks (the first part). Something about it wasn't as good. But, it was still awesome enough to get four!

Like I said last week, I will wait until I've heard all three parts to post a review. But, I really liked both of the first two eps! We'll have to see what happens next!!

Did you rate it, EC?

Yes. 4 stars.

I gave it five stars. If for no other reason, because Eugene actually had semi-geeky dialogue this time!!!!! That was cause for great celebration. I would write more, but I need to listen to the ep again.

Same here. I wonder who has voted, but didn't post...

ohh..i voted, and didn't post...i think i gave it 4 stars, although i don't remmeber exactly.

i thiought it was a really good episode. i liked it a lot. i'll post more later, i've got to go now though!

I gave it four stars. It would have had to knock my socks off to get a five. I really enjoyed it.

This was a pretty good show like last weeks was. I somehow knew he would find out that his parents were dead. It would be too unrealistic to have them be alive. I am glad that we now know more about what happened when parents disappeared though. I can't wait until next weeks episode!

Title: Prisoners of coincidental-‘Better-Late-Than-Evers’

Characters:
Eugene (#168)
Katrina (#30)

As in every 3-part episode, it would seem the middle one is, hopefully (in this case, at least), the more leisurely part. To be painfully honest, I’ve gotten confused what the storyline is. Is the point of this episode to deal with the village’s superstitious ways? Is it to find Eugene’s parents? Is it to set up the transmission? Or is it to get out of the jungle?

Come to think of it, I STILL don’t sense I am acquainted with much about the village, meaning I cannot possibly sympathize with them—but by the sound of it, I’m not sure how they’ll have time to deal with the problem while wrapping this show up tenderly in one 25 minute period.

Okay, I admit—I’m a tad bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe this episode will be high on people’s favorite list, and that the acting is still terrific, the sound effects believable, and the music is more dramatic then what I’ve heard in seasons. However, do you recall in movies where the purpose is for finding a treasure, and even when the movie shows that the treasure hunters are no-where near the treasure, you still KNOW that they will eventually find it? If they didn’t, it WOULDN’T make a movie. But here, my heart fell when I heart that the father was dead. Oh sure, I wasn’t really expecting to hear from the mother. She didn’t seem to be the center of the episode as much as her husband was. All the attention was clearly going to him. However, I was certain that we’d hear from him no matter what had happened. Could he really be dead? I sincerely hope he isn’t.

After all, Eugene seems to be the unluckiest man when it comes to searching for dead relatives. It seems weird that Marshall Younger included that coincidental happening in Eugene’s life. Must I really refer back to "Last of a Long line"? Proceeding...

But, on the other hand, perhaps my worrying for next week and feeling saddened just as Eugene is, is the mark of a truly good episode. Maybe I have nothing to worry about, and this is simply a trick to make the listener feel something/

But that brings me once more to what I was saying at the beginning. How will they wrap everything up? I’m clearly expecting the village to be shown proof that their superstition was false—and, well, we’re nowhere near the village. By the sounds of it from hearing scenes for next week’s episode, Eugene gets put a away in a dungeon of some sort, and simply digs his way out…making that storyline (the one about escaping from captivity) really pathetic—and if they gain nothing from that little adventure, the whole thing will be, as I recently mentioned, useless.

As I finish this review, I’m dearly hoping for the sake of this episode that Eugene’s father is alive and well. Afterall, in the preview for next week, we have one new and unidentified voice. Perhaps I’m mistaken, but no one in the show had his voice yet, and he sounded quite old. Eugene’s father? Theirs hope.

The only amusing thing about this episode wasn’t in the actual episode itself. It was, believe it or not, Chris!

I enjoy it when Chris pinpoints the obvious.

Well, we know the tradition—until next week!

I am hoping that he is still alive myself. I think it would be wonderful for Eugene to have at least one of his parents.

This episode kind of bored me... it wasn't bad at all, and the acting was superb. It's just the middle episode... it's not the introduction, but it's not the climax, and it just landed on neutral ground with me (I don't dislike it, but I don't love it, either). I gave it 3 stars.

I, too, am not quite sure Leonard's dead. But that's just purely based on the preview from next week and, out of context, I could be inferring quite a bit (too much).

I think that they said he died, so they could trick Eugene, and in the end have both of them working for their evil scemes!

I totally agree that Eugene is finally starting to sound like his old self again!

the worst episode i have ever heard i dont even think it can be worth one star

You're not serious right? This was a great episode following the first. I do agree with Mandy that it is the middle and it lacks the excitement but I haven't seen Eugene act this way in a while so I liked it.
