Favorite Episodes

[Margaret Thatcher]

So I don't know how much you've talked about it, but what is your absolute favorite episode and why? My favorite is The Day Independence Came.

I like this episode because we get to see the brave patriots of the Revolutionary War. And we see George Washington praying. I like that because some people will tell you that Washington and the other founding fathers weren't actually Christians, but we get to see how it actually was.

I also really like the episodes of Whit in WW2, I like seeing Whit when he was younger, but especially when he was fighting for our freedom in WW2. It just makes me respect him all the more when we know that he was a soldier. My grandfather was in Korea.

Actually, the Founding Fathers' individual religious beliefs have been major sources of historical controversy, and justifiably so in some cases. However, that is not the point of this topic.

I love...

THE SPLIT ERA. I mean, come on, whoever came up with that was a genius. Lovely writing, well-crafted episodes, complicated-but-true morals...man, those were just golden.

I love both of the sagas, Blackgaard and Novacom. I can't pick. They're both beautiful and feelsy. It all kind of depends on what you're looking for; Blackgaard tends to be a bit more character-driven, as opposed to Novacom, which is plot-driven. Whichever you prefer, you listen to. It's nice to have a choice depending on preference.

I enjoy the two three-parters in Album 48, "The Top Floor" and "The Other Side of the Glass". I think they're intense and fun in their own way, and I can listen to them over and over again without being bored.

"The Nudge" is a really convicting episode for me because of how easy it is to just throw our requests and problems at God and expect Him to deliver. We don't look at having a relationship with God for the fulfillment that His love brings to us and how we were made to give Hm glory; instead we only see what's in it for us. We don't think about how God wants to speak to us and lead us places to which we didn't necessarily want to go. Also, Trent and Marvin bromance.

"Blood, Sweat, and Fears" gets a mention because it's fun and quirky and reveals a lot about three of my beloveds and it teaches a lesson abut facing up to your fears (and honestly did it better than "Called On in Class", and with the same fear and same person involved).

"Something Significant", because it is a wonderful episode and the unique story is amazing and Trent and his voice change are freakin beautiful and I just can't (Seriously though, Trent or not, the ep is absolutely amazing.)

"Buddy Guard", because P.J. Manning, Cryin' Bryan Dern, and the same judge from Tom's trial being all sassy.

"Wooing Wooton", because Wooton being serious while expressing his quirks is always lovely.

"Chip Off the Shoulder", because Kelly. Just...Kelly. Man, I wish they were all still around...she was lovely.

And all the Trent/Mandy eps, of course, but my adoration of my two dorky babies just goes without saying.

There are many more, but I only felt like listing out these and typing in complete, comprehensible sentences is very difficult right now.

I have too many favorites to narrow down to one. But maybe if I broke it down into genre:
Comedy: A Christmas Conundrum
Drama: The Turning Point (I cry every time. No joke.)
Bible Story: Bernard and Esther
History: It is Well
Slice-of-life: Sunday Morning Scramble
Salvation story: The Time Has Come

My favorite ep has always been "Greater Love". I tear up at the end EVERY TIME!!

Recollections and Promises, Promises. These were the first episodes of AIO that I heard when I first started listening.
