The Town of Odyssey

I felt like making a topic for this, because... out of the early episodes being aired, I think this was a major step toward Odyssey really hitting its stride. The story was exciting, and the character development was surprising.

It makes me wonder all the more what I might be missing in the episodes that don't come through -- not only for their stories, but Connie's development, the oddly sparse appearances of Tom Riley, and the opening scenes with Chris. (I've found myself oddly fascinated by her as a character.)

(Incidentally, my ideal outdoor weather is actually cool, cloudy, windy and humid...)

I haven't heard Stormy Weather for awhile, but it's a great episode - a classic. I voted for 5 stars!

It is interesting to note that Connie's conversion is much longer when you include ALL episodes before "Connie". Connie is very much an antagonist in some deleted early episodes - especially "Gotcha".

So, Connie, you want to go to California? You'll have to wait til Christmastime (literally!). Whit gets some shards in his legs that'll have to heal up, first, too. Anyway, the moral of the episode was finding comfort from God's Word in times of trouble, and it was presented so well in this story.

And wait-- Did Chris break the fourth wall at the beginning?!?! Odyssey was ahead of the times...

5/5
