I'd like to hear from the people who gave it one star.

. . . and your reasons why, Eugene Blackgaard? Not that the rating didn't necessarily warrant a 2, but I'd like hear your thoughts.

While I enjoyed today's episode, I thought that it was kind of a let down after all of the hype and excitement of the last couple of months and last week. The suspense was gone. Next week's conclusion sounded very promising. It is wonderful having Eugene back. 4/5

I gave it five stars just becauase it was good to hear Eugene back--despite his amnesia.


My main complaint was the first scene with Maud on the telephone. It sounded a bit contrived and unecessary. I think Whit could've given us a better rundown of why Eugene came back, instead of Bernard and Connie giving the audience a review of it via Maud. That's my nit to pick. :)

Did anyone notice in the clips for next week that Eugene said "The time has come"? That seemed significant to me since that's the name of the show where he became a Christian. :-k

I smell a rat.....oh wait, that's Katrina's new voice (just had to rant and get it out of my system). There were only one or two lines where she actually sounded like Katrina. Other than that, I liked the ep. Eugene was great. His presence, however disoriented, adds so much to the show. Were it not for the voice of Katrina, and a few small problems, the episode would have scored higher. 4/5. I'm glad that the writers haven't forgotten how to write Eugene, and that Will Ryan still plays him to perfection.

I also enjoyed the humor.

I thought it was good, except for Katrina's voice...it was just wrong. But it was a good show, I'm looking forward to the last one.

Indeed, I also noticed it. Interesting how it was the final clip from next week's episode. I wonder if this has anything to do with his faith . . . does he remember he became a Christian in Odyssey? Or has Eugene forgotten that as well as all other memories associated with the town?

I think they are referring to Eugene saying "howdy."

In the context it was used in, I found it to be quite funny.

I enjoyed it also. It was funny hearing Eugene say it.
