Wow, where did that first scene come from?

I didn't make a noise the entire first scene, because I was sure it was only a dream and was waiting for Trent to "wake up." After the scene ended, I paused the episode, sat there for a while, and then laughed harder than I think I've ever laughed at an AIO scene before! It was such a bizarre scene and I couldn't believe I was hearing this in an Odyssey episode.

However, like Jonathan, I didn't like the scene at all. It was totally un-AIO and didn't fit with the rest of the episode at all (other than the fact that it's a part of the same story). Yes, it was very funny, but I would have preferred it as a "bonus" mini-story. It was way too over-the-top for a normal AIO. And after a second listen, it quickly lost it's humor, unlike the rest of the ep.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the episode. It was extremely amusing, and it was great to hear the Trent/Mandy story continued. I'm really liking these "conundrum" episodes that AIO has been doing lately, and as long as they stay original as they have thus far, I say keep 'em up! It was great to have a full cast of kids interacting in this show, and Connie and Bernard's parts were great! I expect this to be one of my favorites of the season.

4 stars! (It would have been 5, but that opening scene knocked it down a point for me.)

Actually, Trent sounded different, but it was the same actor

I absolutely loved this episode—it was hilarious! I loved everything, including the first scene. Greatly enjoyed was the continued storyline of Mandy and Trent, which was brought up in "A Present Long Ago." I liked the fact that so many of the Odyssey kids were in the same episode. The only thing I didn't like was the different actor for Max—he went from a high-ish voice to a lower voice, and back to a slightly higher voice.

And a couple parts were predicatable (I knew the "on air" light was going to go on), but still, overall, it was a great five-star episode.

Shadowpaw hasn't updated AIOSF for "Mum's the Word" yet, but just from hearing him I can tell Trent is the same actor...you can't blame the poor guy because his voice is changing. I just think it makes it realler (if that's even a word...) they can't keep him a little kid forever cuz he's not anymore.

About Max...I'm not sure if he's the same voice or not, he's already been 2 different people, but seeing as he's NOT a major character, it shouldn't matter that much!

I really liked Bernard in this episode.

One thing that I didn't like was Bernard. If Bernard's in an episode I'd like to see him have a bigger part. In this episode he seemed like a side charactor to me.

But a side character with really funny lines $\:D/$

Besides, come to think of it, most of the eps he's in he's a supporting character.

Yeah, I guess so but I've never been a big Bernard fan... But I'll admit it laughed when he called Connie Dmetry!

i love bernard!!! my mom does too

but any way i liked this episode ok... i loved the whole connie and bernard thing. i think it would be so cool if they followed mandy and trent all the way until they get married (because we know they will)

It sounds like you have a smart mom! $\:D/$ My parents like Bernard too - he's one of those characters that's hard not to like!

It will be interesting to see how much Trent/Mandy romance we'll actually get to see.

Since I like stuff like that, I wouldn't mind hearing more. $\:D/$

Unless you are Little Bird, then you say things like, "I've never been a big Bernard fan."

Such a bum...

Yeah, I laugh at his lines and without him Odyssey would be like nachos without the cheese.

Well, that's debatable because there are 12 year olds who would love it. Anyway, Hakeber, it was just supposed to be funny, not like a real romance thing...anywho...

Shame on me, I never gave my input on this episode - I even forgot how I voted (Four, maybe?)!

I thought this episode was cute, and not too corny. It was a nice, humorous episode that didn't go overboard like others have lately.
