Which episodes make you cry?

...or really touch your heart

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Which episodes make you cry?

Post by LizzieG »

Having grown up with Odyssey, I find myself getting emotional sometimes when the characters do. Here are some of the scenes that especially get to me:

-Connie and Eugene's salvations, especially Eugene's, since we'd been waiting a lot longer for him to come to Christ.
-The scene in Bernard and Joseph when Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers. That didn't use to affect me, but it did the last time I heard that episode
-Whit's leaving, and everyone reactions...especially after I found out that Hal Smith had died
-In A Question About Tasha, when Jack's talking about his wife...that gets me every time
-The Turning Point. The acting in that scene when Katrina tells Eugene she's leaving is so powerful!
-The Mortal Coil...pretty much the whole thing
-Someone to Watch over me. That last scene where Nagle explains everything to Jimmy.


There are a lot more, but I didn't want to bore you guys to death. So, please, someone respond so I know I'm not the only one who gets sentimental about fictional characters :anxious:

No Greater Love. That one actually made me cry a little when I heard it.

I've never really cried either, but I find myself getting teary-eyed a lot more than I used to. The weird thing is, most "sad" movies out there don't affect me as much as some of the Odysseys.

It's a good thing you don't cry on it. You wouldn't want to get it all wet.

I can't remember whether or not 'Karen' makes me cry, but it always makes me sad.
I always cry during the Novacom series when Connie thinks Mitch is dead. Pretty much every time Connie is crying it makes me cry...

I definitely have to agree about those two! Sometimes when I feel like crying, I'll listen to "Gone..." and "...But Not Forgotten" - they never cease to make me sad, so I don't like listening to them when I feel happy. :anxious: And in "A Question About Tasha" Jack is so sweet, but it's so terribly sad. :sniff:

I agree with the people who've said

"Gone", "But Not Forgotten", and "a question about tasha", and Eugene's conversion was really emotional as well.

Same here, as well as Gone... Clara, The Mortal Coil, and several more

I'm not sure how many of those I cry in per se, but I know I get teary eyed.

Oh! When Eugene Comesbeack, and finds his Father, as well as when he Finds Christ.

The most recent was Always though.
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man would have to seek Him to find her.

When I was younger, I cried during Clara. It really is a sad one.

I cried buckets when I was listening to "Clara", "Gone", and "The Mortal Coil". I also cried when Jenny died in "Recollections", and I almost cried when I was listening to "Silent Night" when the Whittakers were dealing with their first Christmas without Jerry.

Oh, that reminds me! I listened to "Silent Night" the first time and was fine, but when I listened a second time, I was definitely tearing up! Some parts were sooo sad! :sniff:

Wow, I'm starting to sound like the weepiest person on the planet! ;)
