A Penny Earned Review

A Penny Earned Review

Roommates of any can be difficult to live with and sometimes it requires adjustment and more often than not compromises. We've seen the difficulties of clashing roommates with Bernard and Eugene (Room Mates) and with Connie and Lindsey and Tamika and Kelly (Best of Enemies) so my question at the end of a Penny Saved was how will Connie and Penny be as room mates?

Right away in a Penny Earned we see that Connie will be challenged living with Penny? How? Well, for starters the playing board games till really late in the morning and Penny using the walls of Penny's room as canvas. But the main aspect of the episode is her trying to find a job in Odyssey. In some ways it reminded me of Connie's struggle in the episode What are you Gonna Do With Your Life. In this episode we are told that Eugene teaches a computer class at the college. It fits his character well, but I'm kinda sad to see Hand Up disappear without explanation. Penny's a little too trusting. The scene with Douglas Helm proves this. It was an honest mistake.

 I like the new guy Jacques Henri. He reminds me of Fred Holstein, and I really look forward to future use of his character. Although Penny is a relatively new I couldn't help wondering if maybe this would be her last episode. But I'm glad it didn't go about that way. Although the twist with Penny and Wooton being so alike that Wooton would know where she would "have to stop" was a little much, it kinda worked out. I'm looking forward to see how they develop Penny and Wooton's relationship in the future.

Penny Wise: You've been praying?
Connie Kendall: Yes! Haven't you?
Penny Wise: Well, sure, but I didn't know everybody was in on it.
Wooton Bassett: That's one thing you can be sure everybody's in on. The praying I mean.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope everyone had a wonderful time with their family and friends yesterday. I might have another review up later this evening. But in the meantime, feel free to check out my other blog called never a dull moment. It's not another Odyssey blog, but I have mentioned it a little. (just started it..)

More Album 55 titles!!!

So this is kinda old news. But it's exciting nonetheless. we have more Album 55 titles, as well as another summary for the album. Here's what we have so far.
Child's Play
Mistaken for Good
To Mend or Repair
The Labyrinth Parts 1-3
Sgt York Parts 1-4

And here's the new summary; Jason Whittaker discovers a life-threatening plot in the works after he tracks the villainous Mr. Grote to London. In Odyssey, rumors fly when a wedding brochure is mistaken for an announcement and everyone thinks Connie is getting married. Eugene and Katrina hear unsettling news about their future. And Kids' Radio tells the exciting story about how a back-country man with a simple desire for peace winds up on the front lines of World War I. Amidst all of the conflict and comedy, our pals in Odyssey learn that being in over their heads can be a very touching and funny experience when God is put in the center of it all.


I wonder what the "unsettling news" is? I can't wait to hear Sgt. York, it sounds amazing! And the wedding brochure idea sounds interesting. More reviews are coming soon.

You're Two Kind Review

Calvin and Hobbes is a new found favorite of mine. But I'll try to mix it up every now and then. Calvin needs a good lesson on being kind especially since Christmas is right around the corner. Perhaps he should listen to this episode.

In this episode it brings more changes to Odyssey. Namely Katrina as a substitute teacher. We've seen Eugene as one before, but not Katrina until now. This adds a nice touch to her though and it makes sense. Also it's nice to see Katrina around in general and we saw more of her and Eugene at home too.This episode gave us a slice of life, and it was interesting too. Ryan was faced with a choice whether to stab Brad in the back or not and he choose wrong. The Eugene story line was interesting. Is trickery the best way to teach a lesson? Although we have seen this kind of thing in Odyssey from time to time. Some think it's fishy, but I think it works. Their point came across in the end.

This episode is strong with the Ryan story line and slightly weak with the bejewler plot. Overall I like it.But the bejewler storyline eh..
