Do you have something about Odyssey that you just have to ask and discuss? I do. We can talk about that kind of stuff here, and I'll start:

Was 'The Present Long Ago' inspired by the part of 'The Coolest Dog' where Trent rants about his children, his children's children, and his children's children's pets? (Just to jog your memory, 'The Coolest Dog' came right before 'The Present Long Ago')

Well Connie has a list of things to do for someone. and has the same moral.

My mistake. I misread the episode title.

It does, doesn't it? And Broken Window is just like Scales of Justice. And The Imagination Station, Revisited, Parts I and II sounds just like The Imagination Station, Parts I and II to me. Are they running out of ideas?

It was my opinion that in trying to be inventive with this last season before the break the writers took previous episode titles and stories and did the same thing with a slight twist, since it was the fiftieth album, and twentieth year, it is somewhat fitting, however I think this album it definately not of AiO's finest quality.

If that's the ep where that writer guy comes to town on a bike and Cody's dog chews up Mr. Walton's tree, then yes, Connie was doing her 'make Whit's End perfect' routine again.

Probably not... but that's a cool point all the same. It's possible that they put that line in 'The Coolest Dog' because of 'The Present Long Ago'.

Btw, I love that episode.

And I also love 'Best Face Forward'.[/quote]

I kinda liked it because we had seen Connie do it before, and it's a funny trait....I'm not making any sense, am I?

I think that you're making sense!

Connie did something similar to what she did in an episode years ago. Connie is still Connie, even if she's getting older and wiser over the years.

You're good--you make sense.

However, I don't like it. I find it frustrating that they constatly portray Connie as immature, even after all these years of learning and growing. In another thread, several people mentioned that Connie needs to stay single because she was immature when dating. Yeah, I agree that she was, but I don't think she should be. I think the writers could show us some improvement in her maturity

I have to disagree, to some extent, that the writers have "constantly" portrayed Connie as immature. Yes, she may certainly come across that way in some of the newer episodes (Suspicious Finds), but she has also demonstrated a more mature side to her character. Shows like Life in the Third Person and A Class Reenactment where she played a mentoring role for Mandy really added an important dimension to Connie's character.

Should Connie go to collage? Did Aubrey go to collage early because she was home schooled? When will Nic go to collage?

Connie decided that she would not go to college yet, but instead work at Whit's End and the Timothy Center.
YAY HOMESCHOOLERS!!! I actually think that they had to get rid of Aubrey, I mean she had gone beyond the point that they could do much with her...like the Barcleys...so they packed her off to college even though she was a little young.
Nick has kinda vanished....except when Connie screams that he's late! $\:D/$
