I am sure excited for the start of the new AIO season. If I recall correctly, we will be listening to "Back to Abnormal" next week, followed by a three-parter, "Prisoners of Fear". I know I'll be checking early and often to see if the links have been activated.
I was curious if anyone has any rituals or special things they will do to celebrate the new season.
New Season Celebrations!
What will you do?

Same here. I can't wait!Itaque wrote:I am sure excited for the start of the new AIO season. If I recall correctly, we will be listening to "Back to Abnormal" next week, followed by a three-parter, "Prisoners of Fear". I know I'll be checking early and often to see if the links have been activated.
I'm actually really frusterated. It's a weekn before the new season, and technically, officially, we've gotten no information whatsoever.
I mean, how do we officially KNOW that those episodes are NOT bogus and NOT made up by some evil do-er!
Process that!
I'm waiting for some info in Whitsend.org as well as the AIOHQ! Now, when's it gonna be?!?
I'm partially kidding, but it seems things are pretty slow before the new season. I'd like to have a list of several upcoming episodes and one of those neat 'one sentence' summaries that are supposedly to hold you at the edge of your seats...

I was thinking that the other day, too - I think that last year we had more info about the start of the new season, and were therefore more pumped up about it. Right now we don't know much, and there haven't been any sound clips or anything, so it's harder to get all psyched.
That said, I am still looking forward to the new season! I have an event to attend on October 1 that makes the title of "Back to Abnormal" almost prophetic (unfortunately 
) but it will still be a good day, due to being able to her some new AIO!

Thanks so much, Nathan Hoobler! You made my day!
The clip was a nice setup for whatever Eugene will have happen to him in "Back to Abnormal." Poor Eugene!
Was it just me, or did that guy sound kind of like Armitage Shanks?
The voice sounded kind of familiar. Or maybe like the evil professor in "The Perfect Witness."
Some of those upcoming titles sound so good! And we get two Christmas episodes! I am so pumped!
"Tales of a Small-Town Thug" has so much potential! What if it's Richard Maxwell?!
I mean, it probably isn't, but we can hope, can't we? More likely it's about Rodney, but you never know!
"Always" also sounds great! It could be about so many things, but the title sounds like it has great potential to be a serious ep to love for years to come! I hope it's wonderful, whatever it's about!
*was interrupted in the posting process earlier because my gleeful remarks attracted the attention of the girl across the hall,and I had to go explain my joy for the upcoming season*

This piece kinda summed up my feelings for the series. As always; I will give my overall impression;Catspaw wrote:

"Back to Abnormal"
Again, the 'everyone seems to have a 'stupidity quirk' comes into play with the first preview. I wasn't too impressed, however, I think the episode could be quite good. With everything with Malachi's message of working at the college, and his life's work there, it seems almost silly that they weren't using sadder music to help the tone. Needless to say, they were using 'slice of life' music for it. This is quite serious; Eugene lost his life-time employement...like...I'm a bit confused here.
"Prisonners of Fear" When I heard about the trip, I was expecting it to be a bit of Eugene needing to know exactly what happened to his parents. So, I was hoping for a trip to South America. Nevertheless, this has potential to be a great episode, as long as it's emotional, powerful and dramatic as the title is.
"The Business of Busyness" I'd go for a comedy with this one. Probably something by Kathy Wierenga or something. Kids ep. Most probably. Not big on looking forward to this one.
"All Star Witness" Sports. Gotta be. For sure. Chances are, Marshall Younger episode. Prayer: 'A teen episode; Nick Mulligan, Xavier Washington...something!' Though, with my luck it'll end up being with a kid in sports. Again--big potential. Excited to find out.
"Always" I LOVE the one word titles. They bring so much depth. You just know this episode will have some sort of depth to it, and something biblical and a thought-provoking ending. Again, looking forward to this one. (The Main character will probably be female.)
"Tales of a Small-Town Thug" These 'Tales' episodes don't strike me as have much potential. HOWEVER, Two thugs in Odyssey; Rodney Rathbone (which is what it most probably will be about) And, Rodney has been the center of contreversy lately. We're about 50/50 on weither we still like him or not. Personnaly, I think as long as they return him to the intensity that he had before, and wasn't as stupid as he has been lately, then it'll be okay. The Rodney in Snow day and Broken Window was terrible. The Rodney in 'A Lamb's Tale' and 'A Glass Darkly' was much better. Secondly; the second thug could possibly be Nick Mulligan. Face it, we have no idea WHY he was pulled from the city. But again, Ney York isn't a small town, and Nick WOULDN'T be returning as a thug. However, I always look forward in knowing his past a bit.
"A Christmas Conudrum" Take 'Sundae Morning Scramble', Christmas-tize it, and it'll probably end up being this episode. People worrying abotu what Christmas is and what to get and then they all realise the true meaning.
"Silent Night" Sounds like it'll be a classic. Nice to know they have two Christmas episodes. They can't mess up on both.

Talk about judging an episode by its title! But, hey, those are my predictions. I can't wait to see how it works out. It could be ANYTHING! And, it could be a great season!
Thank-you Mr. Hoobler for that.
Good luck Odyssey Team!

I was at work tonight when it struck me; Eugene doesn't have his job at the college! Considering it'd be a major major 'goof' (as in, doesn't line up with a bunch of past episodes) I really hope he gets it back. I'm not too excited about this music career possibility we were told about...The BC wrote:"Back to Abnormal"

Eugene's parents died in Africa, so it could be about them.

Since Nathan Hoobler told us it'd be about the Shepards, I'd say it's fair to guess Aubrey.The BC wrote:"Always" I LOVE the one word titles. They bring so much depth.

Could not agree more. His performance is one of the reasons Snow Day is far from a favorite of mine.TheBC wrote:Personnaly, I think as long as they return him to the intensity that he had before, and wasn't as stupid as he has been lately, then it'll be okay.
