:shock: You're probably right! That could be the 1988 actress.

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

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.
Please quote material that you did not write yourself. Thanks! ~ Irwin

W00t! The return of Dreams By Constance! \:D/ 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.

If Richard and Wendy get back together, Dreams by Constance is so going to plan their wedding. ;)

Notes:
  • 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.

I really liked the episode! \:D/ Much better than the majority of album 51, in my opinion. 4/5 stars

Taq, did I miss something? I don't remember hearing a reporter in the episode...I could have missed it though. :-k

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!

Okay......

5/5 for sure.

Great episode. At the moment, I don't have a single idea as to the ending of this mystery.

I like Matthew kinda tagging along with Eugene.

I still can't get used to Andre Stojka, but I guess that'll come eventually.

I especially like the last few minutes, where it starts to sound like and Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Overall, a really great episode.

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! =D>

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.

This actually was a great episode! I was a little disappointed with album 51, but this seems like it'll be a much better season!

It was really intense in some parts and I can't wait for next week to hear how it ends!!!
Eugene and Connie made me happy. I love hearing them.

I still can't get used to Andre as Whit... He's just not Whit... :( I hope I get used to him soon!
