I'm shocked and awed with the quality of the great music in this episode, John Campbell is really getting modern with his compositions and I'm likin' it.
the story so far has been mind gripping, and I can't wait to see what happens next. 4.5/5
"And the Lord saw that man had created the Internet, and He was most distressed. For once people started using chatspeak and improper grammar, their level of smartness was decreased by more than 500%. And so the Lord removed all the gifts he had once bestowed on man, and it was very sad." The Book of Marvin, Chapter 351, Verse 442.
They already have a goof alert on the AIO Wiki for this episode:
Andrew Drevil mentions hearing one of Eugene's lectures at Campbell College. When Eugene came back to Odyssey he discontinued his connection with the college. However, this can easily be justified that either Anthony heard a lecture before Eugene left or Eugene decided or was asked to lecture sometime in the recent past without out our knowledge.

W00t! The return of Dreams By Constance! And with it comes a strong episode that surely bodes good will for the newest season of Adventures in Odyssey. A well written mystery bringing back both the nostalgia of Novacom and a true Odyssey feel to the show, it seems to me like this episode might just be the start of a season making up for the number of flops in 51.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother
Does the device remind anyone of Call Me if You Care? It's been 20 years. There is a relationship rift. There is a crisis that needs to be attended to now. (There will be forgiveness/reuniting/a relationship restored at the end? I would not be surprised to find Alicia's sister in Part 2.)
I enjoyed Matthew as a supporting character tagging along with Eugene.
I was surprised but not disappointed to hear Chris step out of the bookends of the show in her reporter role.
I thought Emily Jones was randomly inserted into the show for a sec, then laughed when I realized it was a commercial.
Dreams by Constance-- gotta love the continuity.
To sum up, I enjoyed The Mystery of the Clocktower, Part 1. I am giving it a 4/5 for now, but the rating could go higher or lower depending on how I like the conclusion. I concur with American Eagle that this season premiere beats The Inspiration Station in every way. After not listening to or caring about Odyssey for a while, I'm looking forward to seeing how this mystery wraps up.
Chris was a reporter in the middle, but it was just a commercial for Album 52 - a very clever one I might add. I like the Parker Jones detective commercial as well. The titles of their cases coming up this season are hilarious and all seem to be spoofs of old detective movies. I love it!
A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man would have to seek Him to find her.

Most users seem to agree with us as well. 67% of ToOers gave this episode 5/5, while only 15% gave The Inspiration Station, Part I a 5/5. Good work, Odyssey!

I have to admit, I was impressed by this episode. It had the old two-parter mystery feel to it. One thing though... in the promos for album 52, I thought I heard them say that the clocktower's time hadn't changed since it had been struck by lightening x years ago, which is not at all the problem in this episode. What?
I give it 5 stars, which the first of the newer episodes I've ever given a 5, I believe.
