The Town of Odyssey

Episode #901: For a Song was released today! It's the first episode written by Abigail Geiger and it's the first episode since "The Long End, Part 2" to feature an episode with Jules besides "Icky and Kat and Balty and Bones."

What did everyone think of this episode?

EDIT: 100th post! Woah! Ahh, I love reading all these thoughts. =D> Brownie, that is an interesting question you raise. As Phil himself has stated multiple times, Odyssey is not supposed to be a babysitter. Think about earlier episodes like "Home is Where the Hurt Is", "A Question Abo...

I think you guys got me on the escape room. My thoughts on these episodes are constantly being informed and reformed, thanks in no small part to you guys. As MonkeyDude mentioned, these discussions really have been amazing! Yes, definitely. I have been enjoying these discussions thoroughly and I ca...

@Bob Great post! I agree considerably. What bothers me and gets me heated up about this in this case, I suppose, is the context of this discussion. If we were just talking about Morrie and his villainy, it's fair enough to say that we shouldn't judge him too harshly, because everybody has done wrong...

I still have thoughts on Whit, but I'll flip the conversation a little and take a moment to talk about Emily. She's so good. Throughout these episodes, she is realistically flawed and interesting. I have read posts from 2010-2011 where many fans thought her flaws outweighed her virtues. I can kinda ...

I honestly really like the art style and art for the original cassette tape and I have no nostalgic attachment. It feels very fitting for the first album, honestly. It gives me pleasant feelings. As for the redesign, it's fine. I like that it depicts an actual episode,"Whit's Flop". Album ...

Odyssey has some classic , great episodes that are generally loved by most fans. But with now 900 episodes (wow!), there are obviously going to be amazing episodes that will, unfortunately, be overlooked. What are some of your favorite underrated episodes? I'll share my picks soon. ;) This thread is...

I fundamentally disagree with Phil Lollar on Morrie's innocence. I have only heard the AIO Audio News post once, but I'm going to listen to it again after I finish writing this. But I do not like that Phil Lollar compares Morrie's actions to Whit's actions. They both have different motivations and w...

This was a good, enjoyable episode! I legitimately thought it was written so Sparky would die and the sound designers wouldn't have to deal with making dog sound effects. Obviously, Sparky did not die but I was shocked that he got hit by a car and lost a leg. I admit that I felt, uh, slight liquid b...

<t>I enjoy stories that have more complex themes and morals (probably because I'm out of the target age range of 8-12) and this episode delivered. I liked it from that angle. <br/> <br/> I might have given Connie a pass, but she blantantly says to Wilson that she thought it was okay to do the wrong ...

cobble box :D I feel appreciated. :D I know Emily and others have canonically called it the "Imagination box", but I always forget and cobble box sounds cooler. :lol: No, that’s not my only reply. You’ve done a great job at summarizing your thoughts on these episodes, Monica. I’m talking ...

WHOO. This episode was ALOT. I haven't posted sooner because I got myself locked out of my account for a week but I'm back because of the gracious help of Catspaw. The episode I think was pretty good...overall. But Whit's behavior and end-of-episode explanation to Emily has been bothering me tireles...

Definitely agree with everything you said here. Love how you worded that last bit too. It's funny, I've been going through some of the older episodes and I think it's 'Camp What-A-Nut Part 2' where Whit and Donny get lost in the woods and Whit doesn't want Donny to climb a tree because he doesn't w...

I think you're spot on here. It seems very unlike Whit to allow this to go on when in the past he's intervened for much lesser things. I would be a tiny bit more alright with it if he gives Emily a chonker of an apology when this is all wrapped up. In the first scene, it felt refreshing that Whit w...

I really hope that the "secret" that Whit found unsettling in Writer's Rus and the fact that Tasha Forbes was there in Japan with them, and is now in Odyssey (did she just get here, or has she been spying on the Rydells the whole time?) point to something much bigger behind this that expa...

-Jillian isn't too bad. -Yes, Emily is a good character. I didn't know that was an unpopular opinion. -Novacom isn't the best. -The Final Conflict is one of my favourite episodes, mainly because of the tunnel scene. -The Time Has Come is my favourite episode. -I think the Parkers could stay longer....

I don't know if this holds up, but I have a theory about Whit's behavior. We know that Whit has known about the Rydells even before Morrie's birth (which is honestly insane. A little contrived, but I can't specifically fault this episode without faulting many other aio episodes). Whit is very aware ...

The secret is probably that Suzu is the main mastermind (Whit didn't know that beforehand. That's why he was so surprised when he briefly thought Emily was investigating Suzu) and that they were planning far grander and more devious schemes ("A Sacrificial Escape" especially). Okay, I can...

There’s one huge thing that gets me. There’s a secret here that... feels unsettling. What is that secret? If that line is left unresolved, this episode gets a thumbs down. BUT THE RECORDING THE RECORDING THE RECORDING!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: The secret is probably that Suzu is the main mastermind (Whi...

For what this episode lacks in action, it makes up for IN CALLBACKS GET ME AN INHALER I CAN'T FLIPPING BREATH- I'm with you though Monica. Still collecting my many, many thoughts. That ENDING though. I cannot believe that they [redacted for spoilers] . :explode: I am torn about those episode. I don...
