Album 53

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Album 53

Post by Bren »

If you haven't heard the 98th official podcast yet, do not continue to read this.
I know we want the action and adventure so what do you guys think of another DBD style album with 12 episodes from Paul McCusker? The Green Ring Conspiricy has me interested.

Ya, that was totally a joke. At least the cover art was. Just to clue ya' in; the art was the President standing in front of Odyssey. I'm pretty sure the summary was a joke as well. But I'm not in the loop, of course.

I was just about to start this thread.
I wasn't expecting the whole "back to only slice of life episodes" thing to last too long but, 2 albums?!? That was very short-lived. Anyway, I'm VERY excited for this! -like a lot more than for album 52. I think it's great for the series; album 52 will, hopefully continue to familiarize the new characters (hopefully a few more than just the Parkers this time) and get used to the new pace, Andre Stojka, etc. Then, by album 53, everything that's been changed/reestablished can sort of settle in. I think making that a story arc will make the fans come to grips with the fact that this is AIO now. O.k., 'come to grips' isn't the best term. It's not that it's a bad thing or anything. It's just that album 51 felt a little... odd. It was just noticably different and I think album 52 will be the same. Album 53 is about the time when that feeling should be going away. Making it a story arc (especially if it's well done) will help finalize liking of the characters and such.

Also, I just love story arcs! Especially, when the whole story arc is contained in one album and the whole album is the story arc. Those are even more fun than when they just follow a re-occuring theme like once per album and then we get a 6 episode storyline in 5 years. (a la Grady's father, Mandy's Parents, Eugene's father) Granted, there's only really been one like this (Darkness Before Dawn) but, it was arguably the greatest album ever. Also, they've sort of done smaller forms of the same concept with Wish You Were Here (Bernard and Eugene's trip to CA), In Hot Pursuit (Connie and Joanne's trip to D.C.) and The Best Small Town. It's just more fun when it's one really long adventure (Darkness Before Dawn is essentially an 11-parter) than when it's a storyline that's simply mixed in with other things and revisited periodically. Now I like that first type, too, don't get me wrong, I just especially like the latter. Anyway, I'm very surprised (at first I thought he was joking) but, am super excited. This is great! \:D/

As for what it's about, the first thing that came to mind is Whit's ring that he won for Jenny at a side show and proceded to give to Clara that turned their respective fingers green. But, that broke in Clara's possession so, I doubt that's what it's about. It's a very intriguing title, though; sounds quite intense.
EDIT: It sounds stupid to say "I was just about to start this thread" when I posted an hour after it started but, I took a break in the middle of writing this so...

What's the point of spoiler tags? This is Odyssey news, not the plot synopsis. \:D/
I'm excited for The Green Ring Conspiricy! Catrina will be back, yay! I'm hoping Jason will return as well. He's been in like every story arc; Darkness Before Dawn, Novacom, search for Whit, Eugene's father, etc. He basically makes things exciting in Odyssey, and I hope they have him return for Album 53. Additionally, I'm hoping Vance will be a recurring character in it!

I like your third paragraph, KBT! That would be epic! Maybe Clara could visit Odyssey as an adult. ;)

It is new and some haven't heard the show yet so I didn't want to spill it in public if they hadn't heard the podcast yet.

C'mon, guys! The title of the album OBVIOUSLY implies that the plot will be about The Chairman's backup plan to rule the world: the NovaXbox!

NOO!! Novacom is back! :mad:

However, the title sounds rather...interesting. Will it be a new saga? And I sorta hope it's for the whole album! I can't wait! \:D/

Not sure if you picked up on it but yes, it is the whole season. Paul stated so himself.

Noooo, he becomes THE Green Lantern! I should totally do fanart of that...it might cause much agony to those people who can see it, though. Whit as the Green Lantern...

YOU GUYS! We don't post speculation threads about Album 53 until Album 52 is out! :insane:

But I'm going to join in anyway. \:D/

W00T! New saga! Hopefully another awesomely intense album that I can listen to as I draw randomness! \:D/
