I thought this was a very good episode. A lot better than Between You and Me! I want to hear more of Seth, but NOT his mother! That was enough of that! :wink:

I agree. If anyone remembers my review of "Between You and Me" I thought it was a terrible season opener. I really don't understand why they didn't open with this one. It's a pretty "normal" slice-of-life episode. Only problem I really had with it is that Bethany has lost her "cute" voice. She's doesn't sound like a six year old anymore... *sighs* Other than that it was really good. Nice introduction to a new kid, good lesson learned, good acting, pretty much everything is good. I give it a 3.5 stars out of 5.

Yeah (Gandalf), I agree. She has lost her cute voice. It seems like she's trying hatd to act cute. Aubrey also sounds a bit different.

Seth sounds a bit too much like Nathaniel. Odyssey already has a smart acting kid.

It was a pretty good one. I'm glad we could hear more about Aubrey. I want to hear more about Seth too. He sounds like a good new character in Odyssey.

Nathaniel is either gone now or will be gone shortly. I think we've already heard the last of him, unfortunately.

Seth was okay, the episode was decent... it raised questions, but they were kind of confusing questions, weren't they? I don't know... I'm overly picky, I guess. It wasn't the Aubrey episode of old that makes me cringe, but neither does it make me shout for joy.

Still, that's progress, right?

In was more interesting then better then "Between You can Me" but both episodes didn't really go anywhere. I'm looking foward to some stories not just a few scenes from the live of the characters. Betheny now sounds like a terrible actor. I can see why Seth was only at the begining of the ep (being a 1 dimetional character). His mom sound like she could've come straight from the area where we live (our community is in a time warp and is stuck in the 60s. Organic apple juice anyone? Wink

) The episode had some funny bits (the Sunday school and the Nursing home) but as I said, since it didn't have much of a story I'd rate it 4 out of 10.

I liked it. It showed how we should serve God. It was 'better' than Between you and me as in it was more interesting, but the lessons both taught were equally inmportant.

Also, checking the teaser for next week and browsing the 'future', I noticed "I.S. Meltdown" I am guessing this is Imaginatino Station meltsown, but I am pondering what it would be about since the imagination station already melted down in Exit in the NovaCom series... After that is New theme....

About the Nathaniel and Seth thing, I think that this could be a nice finish for Nathaniel. You guys remember that Nathaniel had been having trouble finding friends? Well, enter Seth...
They might have an episdoe where they become friends and stuff...and then they will kill Nathaniel from the show because his problems are over.

Nathaniel hasn't been in a regular episode since 12/1/01 (O. T. Action News: Battle at the Kishon). I'd be very surprised if he were to show up again. (Then again, Odyssey seems to feel the need to bring back characters briefly--Jared, Eugene--only to have them disappear again. Such appearances tend to raise more questions about the characters than they answer, in my opinion.)
