Haha, I love the rating system. But 1 star should be "Rusty Gordon." ;)

I think Whit needs to buy a lock for the Imagination Station when it is out of order. This has to be at least the 10th time someone went in it when they weren't supposed to.

Wow, great episode!! I totally called it \:D/

I was half expecting her to meet Diggor after her encounter with John Mark, it brought back a lot of good memories. I can't wait until the second part!

Wow, I was surprised. It was diamonds. It was just excellently written. I loved... (I dont know how to explain it.) I liked the continuity with John Mark and Kelly helping like Digger) I hope the 2nd one is equally good.

It wasn't exactly what I expected it would be. I might have to listen to it again because I was kind of half in and half out. What I was doing I can't remember now because I listened to it this morning. I might have to post more later. One of the things that I thought of when I first heard Kelly entering the imagination station was how much this could be like Narnia. I don't know how many of you have listened to the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre of Narnia but I kind of thought it would be great if this episode started like that. For instance you hear Kelly entering the imagination station then the theme for Adventures in Odyssey and then Kelly in Jerusalem.

Wow, big changes, and at the same time, same old, same old. Gone are the days of pushing the red button and going for a wild ride with familiar sound effects ( :cry: ) and here are the days of being afraid of going through any doors.

I liked the idea of using the same story as the first Imagination Station adventure, but I wish it would have been changed up some more. It's a little TOO similar, you know? Maybe the second part will be more original.

Where is the Imagination Station? It can't be in the little room off of the bible room anymore because it has multiple rooms. Also, what are the different rooms for?

I agree. But it was still a good episode.

What room off of the bible room?
And where does the Imagination Station have different rooms?

5 stars :D Really nice to have a good old Bible based imagination station ep. After the Triangled Web I was suspicious that it would be different for the worse, but I'm glad to say I was was mistaken. I really appreciated hearing Jesus' words. I do agree with Boswell's comments though. Where's the red button? And couldn't it be a little more different? However, those things are minor.

Kelly shouldn't know what happens to Jesus. How does she know? Maybe it's because she's at the Washingtons.

She new some about most likely at the Washington's, and Digger Digwillow new a little a bit about it to in the first Imagination Station adventure so it makes sense.

Who all noticed how long that episode was? 26+ min, without comercials! It could be that they had more explainaing about the new IM, but it was cut to make time. :-s

I absolutely loved this episode! \:D/ I really liked how they paralleled Digger Digwillow's adventure to meet Jesus in the IS. It was refreshing to hear the story from the side of the high priests and Josiah. And Kelly was a lot smarter than Digger (at least she didn't think it was a Bible Room parade). ;) Listening to the scenes of the Passover meal really brought flashbacks of the original Passover scene with Digger. And I also liked how they used similar lines. I loved the scene where Jesus calls Kelly by name...that was cool. :D One thing that would've been neat to hear was an appearance from a character that also appeared in "The Imagination Station" and was also played by the same actor (for instance, it would've been neat to hear John Mark played by Nathan Carlson, who played John Mark originally). But overall, I really enjoyed this episode, and I'm eagerly awaiting Part II (whenever it goes up).
