Most Moving Scene?

[Candy]

When "Mr. Whit" has to leave Clara.

That one has stuck with me for years.

Yeah, that one's suuuuper touching. but I don't think I ever cried over it. :/

[Steve]

Why?
Because Snow DeWight's father comes in to rescue her?
I agree that it is a touching scene... I've never cried over it though.

No. Simply because that episode is ssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo horrible.

I remember back when I listened to Album 25 for the first time. From Eugene's conversion to Blackgaard's demise, it was by far the most emotional journey I've had listening to Odyssey. I think I stopped listening not long after because nothing else they produced even compared.

DBD is a tough act to follow...I can see where you're coming from.

Another episode that brings tears to my eyes is "It Is Well". I just listened to it yesterday and I fell in love with it again.

[Mrs Jason Whittaker]

One of the most moving scenes for me is when Katrina leaves Eugene in The Turning Point.

Also moving: Jack giving Connie a hug in A Touch of Healing and reminding her of "the things Whit taught you."

[EMBEE]

I'd have to say the scene in Home, Sweet Home where Connie and Whit meet again after so long.

[Danielle Abigail Maxwell]

Karen, which I haven't listened to in a LONG time because it's on tape for me, always got me emotional. And the Homecoming ALWAYS gets to me. Sometimes The Last Resort too.

[TigerintheShadows]

The part in "Plan B, Part 3: Cross-fire" where Whit takes Connie home after her questioning about Mitch's death. Whit asks her if she's okay, she says she's fine, she walks up toward her house...and then she runs back into the car, sobbing about how she is most definitely not okay. Katie Leigh and Paul Herlinger...and that scene...just...man.

[Kaida]

The episodes when Eugene comes back..

The part when Connie cries with Katrina made me tear up.
The part when Eugene realizes that he would be sad if he wouldn't be able to get his memory back.
The scene with Eugene sounding so desperate because the imagination station didn't get his memory back.

The episode Gone... made me tear up too.

Good choices. There are quite a lot of tearjerking scenes in Odyssey. Those writers love to torture us.

I know right. How dare they?!

[Sparrow]

Why has no one mentioned Jenny's death? You all are failures as Odyssey fans, and heartless as well.

Oh, dude. I JUST listened to that one yesterday and I was a basket case of emotions. What brought tears to my eyes wasn't her death but her interactions with Whit during that meeting. They were just talking but the actors' chemistry was so good that I thought that they were actually married. It made me emotional because I realized that Whit's been on his own for a while and he must miss Jenny so much. And that episode further proved what a great actor Walker Edmiston. When he totally owned Whit with that one line "I'm sure you knew your wife better than anyone. It's too bad that she couldn't say the same about you", I got chills. Great episode.

Bump!

It's been quite awhile since I visited this part of the forum. Hey everyone!

In light of an upcoming project, I was hoping to reacquaint myself with the show, crash-course style. Sadly, even though I used to own all the albums at one point in my life, my memory is something of a garbage dump and my younger siblings have since inherited all of my AIO stuff. Outside of the internet, I have pretty much nothing to reference to.

The memories that have stuck with me, however, were those scenes that moved beyond the every day, small town life of churches and soda shops and touched on something deep inside the soul. For example, I can vividly recall the entirety of Someone To Watch Over Me. Somehow, it seemed to take you somewhere that the Imagination Station could never go. It was special.

I can also recall the engaging good vs. evil scenario in the Darkness Before Dawn album, as well as the searing drama of the Novacom episodes. These episodes did so much to shape my love for story and dramatization at a young age.

With that theme in mind, vague as it may seem, I want the suggestions to keep coming! Which Odyssey episodes seem to do something 'magical' to you when you listen to it, in a way that most of the episodes don't? Which ones stand at a high place in your heart?

[TigerintheShadows]

Not really moving, per se, but just about any given episode from Album 44-49 or so really gets the nostalgia feels going. Those are the characters I really grew up with and with whom I developed that connection--they feel like real people to me. It feels like that old Saturday morning cartoon, you know? The one you can just turn on and watch and everyone's living their lives and having struggles but it's awesome at the same time...I really can't describe it except NOSTALGIA CHILDHOOD FEELS at this point.

Also: people have mentioned Eugene's actual conversion scene being touching, but I actually thought the scene leading up to it was the emotionally powerful one. Eugene's conversion scene is the one where it actually reaches that end point, but the scene in the Imagination Station--especially with Eugene being lost at the beginning and trusting Whit to tell him what to do--is the one that really gets me. We're seeing it all--all of the distractions that had to be stripped away, the comfort zones that were gone, to get Eugene to the point where it was simply him and God. It's a beautiful scene.

I found the last part of "The Highest Stakes: Part II" to be really awesome, mostly because of Kristi pointing out how much Grady has grown from the start of his journey in Odyssey, and how true that actually is as shown in the episode. I really enjoyed, too, how much of the episode was devoted to contrasting what a father should be to what Carson McKay actually was.

(Actually, just forget it. All of Album 49 is beautiful. Every. Single. Episode.)

[Blitz]

I officially rank Connie's mother dying the most moving scene.

[EMBEE]

One scene that comes to mind is in The Mortal Coil, when Tom is sitting at Whit's bedside and talking to him about death.

[WindowWasher]

Boy, so many good ones but I still have to pick the scene at the end of Greater Love where P.D. tells Tom how sorry he was for Timmy's death and how he got saved, comparing Timmy's sacrifice to Christ's. Great acting from the guy playing P.D. and of course Walker Edmiston.
