Re: 892: Millstones

The biggest complaint I've seen about this episode is that it literally ignores like all of Connie's character development over the past 25 years and yeah I agree, but I can't lie that it did my heart some good to see classic Connie slip through. But yeah, it is a tad frustrating. Also, I did not re...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

NOW. PART. THREE. OHH. MYYY. GOODNESS. =D> DITTO. First things first, I have very mixed feelings with this episode drifting away from the past incidents that Morrie has been involved with and instead focussing on entirely new plot points. It's a little confusing with some of the context from past e...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

so I haven't listened to AIO in around 5 years...I think after The Ties that Bind or so, what's the basic TL;DR of major events that have happened? :anxious: I probably forgot some stuff. I figure you probably don't mind but maaaajor spoilers. Penny and Wooten have a long complicated relationship a...

Re: Newsies

I was really closely involved with one we did locally so I might be biased but I really enjoyed it! It is pretty high energy most the time and has some really great numbers.

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

So, I'm not sure if I should trust Morrie or not, but he seems very genuine about his fears. I don't trust Suzu, that's for sure. Even if she didn't kidnap Emily, she is suspicious. I will reiterate here that I need more about Suzu's motivations and I need to know what happened at the embassy. If t...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

Morrie has brought out the good in Emily, Matthew, and Olivia. But perhaps he's brought out the bad in Whit. 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...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

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...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

I really like this. Also klepto Suzu. These details seem so natural to the characters somehow, and I really dig it. Oh man, same! They really do! I love the attention to detail and how Morrie's wrist/hand issues probably translate to him having 'unintelligiable' handwriting according to Matthew. Fr...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

I didn't even think of the Dion line. I knew something felt off when Morrie told the "true" story about the locker incident. Hmm. I wonder if it was intentional or a major goof. Phil Lollar has been doing an otherwise brilliant job at tying everything together (even going so far as to dir...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

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...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

In other news, I was just listening to FFTT AGAIN, because of course I was , and I noticed something. Just before Morrie spills the ice cream on Emily, he says, "Hey, why don't you join the game we're playing? I need somebody smart on my team." SO. What if he isn't talking about some boar...

So all my friends have been talking/singing/screaming about this show for the past couple years and I was so sick of it. I did not want to like Hamilton .

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

I like that Whit finally is a step ahead of Morrie and is going to deal with him. I've wanted that for so long . I can't wait to see where the scene goes from there. I know exactly what you are referring too, and I really liked that too. It didn't even feel like Andre Stojka was reading a script, i...

Re: 898-900: The Rydell Revelations - SPOILERS

I just thought of something! Whit didn't seem concerned at all by the kidnapping, which, even if Morrie is playing tricks on him, is a really big deal. Maybe Whit was there when Suzu and Emily fought and came up behind them. He, too, was doing an investigation and could have gotten a lot farther th...

Re: Unpopular AIO Opinions

I don’t like The Final Conflict. Checkmate is the best Blackgaard episode, and the second best Odyssey episode. Plan B, Part 2 is the best. https://tenor.com/YH3u.gif That might be the hottest take taken so far. I can't say I agree but I respect it. I'm curious though, what don't you like about it?
