The Town of Odyssey

- Get stuck during a blackout at Whit's End with

Whit, Eugene, Tom, and Bernard. That personality combo is solid gold.

- Go on an adventure in the Imagination Station with

Bernard; every time he gets anywhere near technology is sure to be a good one.

- Shave your head

None of them. My ...

I need to perform my patriotic duty for Trandystan and recommend "The Present Long Ago", "Mum's the Word", and "A Class Reenactment". Also, "The Invisible Dog", "Lost by a Nose", "Tales of a Small Town Thug", "Odyssey Sings!", "Back to Abnormal", "The Business of Busyness", "The Poor Rich Guy", "A ...

Don't forget "Nova Rising" and Alex talking about the Internet connection claiming that "it must be one of those high-speed lines". Ah, to have come of age in the era of dial-up...

The mention of the Eugene/Bernard road trip reminds me of this one time when someone posted in the Q&A on the AIOWiki ...

My favorite episode is probably "Mum's the Word". It has a really nice, casual, slice-of-life feel to it and has some of my favorite scenes with my favorite characters—and of course, my AIO OTP. :inlove:

My least favorite...probably "Castles & Cauldrons". I'm not fond of message-oriented media that ...

Just a little reminder: I slap floor.

It, ah, pays to be greedy.

Double post fixed - The Doctor

I find it oddly impressive that I'm ranked #9 on the ToO Forum 500 here, but I'm like, maybe in the top 50 posters. It pays to be a Scrooge.

I was going through a tumblr blog this evening, and one of the user's posts concerned sixteen different kinds of herbal tea and their health benefits . This passage about chamomile tea really caught my eye, owing to my DeWhite coffee/tea headcanon:

Chamomile is a popular herb that’s used in teas ...

Yeah, the ToO seems to be moving reasonably quickly; AIOWiki comes up with a 404 Not Found page.

And I totally missed what the zombies had to do with anything in that last paragraph. I might listen again one day if I am really really bored..........maybe.

It was a lead-in to the entertainment storyline, although they did play up the whole zombie thing quite a bit, so your frustration is ...

And what does one do with the old testament where such behavior is condemned?

(The New Testament also contains references to homosexuality, for the record, and in all cases it is condemned as well.)

The main thing is that what the Bible says about homosexuality does not preclude Christians ...

My only problem with that conclusion, though, is something that I was thinking about the other day after relistening to Part 12 (a minor point of frustration is that the titles are all the same, which makes it a lot harder to remember which episodes had which thing happen in them, although I'm not ...

Well, I'm sure you can give us a truly captivating analysis of each show's emotional resonance in your life.

Don't you lie to me; I know you and your cousin developed a friendship over cheesy Disney Channel Kid Coms.

Ooh...8/10, I think.

Can't believe I didn't respond to this thread sooner. I loved this movie. It's absolutely gorgeous. The story is great, the villain is probably one of the most unique tht Disney has ever created, the characters are memorable and vibrant, and the emotions and interactions so distinct and realistic ...

that the LGBT advocates of the world spew vitriol and hatred in reality.

If what I'm seeing on tumblr and elsewhere is any indication, they're not above such things when faced with someone they disagree with. But yeah, on the whole, LGBT advocates tend to be rather nice, polite people who raise ...

@Christian: I seriously do not believe that you're giving kids enough credit here. The "attention span" that you find so problematic is the same as it always was. Once again I remind you that AIO has done serious shows that weren't all-action-all-the-time that were still very effective and well-done ...

This doesn't have much to do with our discussion, but I was relistening to part 12 today when Whit is talking to Matthew about Ms. Adelaide's essays and teaching style, and he talks about how if you can change the way people think about gender, you can change the way people think about marriage ...

Kids are going to find the Perilous Pen plotline more interesting than a drawn-out storyline about the Parker family tension. They're more entertained by Jay and the zombies than by Ms. Adelaide. That's what most of this comes down to. I think Mr. McCusker did as much as he could to emphasize ...
