The long-anticipated review of “The Rydell Revelations” with Rachel and Josh from the Return to Odyssey podcast has arrived … and it’s unlike any other review of the three-parter. Nothing is held back as the couple presents the case that this end of the Rydell Saga is the worst possible outcome for the series, with flaws ranging from plot deficiencies, broken characterization, and the betrayal of the integrity of John Avery Whittaker.
Despite the criticism of these episodes, I still really enjoy them. But I did enjoy hearing Josh and Rachel’s critiques, and this does break my view of, “Well, it’s only because we had all these theories and all this time to think about the episodes before they were released.” No, they are episodes that break easily under deeper analysis. I did notice, however, your cynical view of your conversations with Phil, even though I agree with what you said about them, i.e. “Well, maybe it’s your mind playing tricks on you.” NO, IT’S NOT! 😂 I will say, what great timing with the release, what with Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off releasing tomorrow. Getting hyped over here.
By the way, I’m in the middle of writing a story, so my writing, even as a comment, is a lot more rich currently than it would be otherwise.
