My initial reaction to episode #951 of Adventures in Odyssey, “Final Minutes”. And yes, I’m back to my good old setup where I can do live commentary over the episode!
I was part of a group reaction that will be available on http://aioaudionews.com when it comes out, so make sure to go listen to that!
I asked myself “Didn’t someone predict that?” about Burke and Jillian and yes, Michael LaFaver predicted it in one of his reactions. Here’s his “Afternoon” reaction: https://aioaudionews.com/2022/07/18/reaction-28-hours-part-2-afternoon-ft-ryan-matlock/

They’ve said that they don’t have any plans for the Chairman yet but just that he’ll hopefully/probably come back sooner than 20 years from now this time.

I have a question for anyone that can answer it, how did jillian know that name of the operation was snake skin?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I was wondering about that too. It was probably cut from one of the previous episodes for time, or we just assume she knew it because she was assigned to protect Jason from operations like that one.

But why would they not tell us that it wouldn’t take that long I don’t think 🤔 and jillian didn’t even know it was dervicii that was in on it, Jason told them about him right? And didn’t she say something like people are after you Jason but I don’t know who, because then I think she asked if he had a nemesis that didn’t get caught or something like that. Also at the end she didn’t even know it was the chairman, so why would she know none of those things but she knows the name of the operation? Please tell me if I quoted stuff wrong or got mixed up,I don’t remember all the episodes that well 😅

Hmm yeah. I’m kind of leaning more towards it was a mistake than Jillian is actually bad. Though I do kinda hope for the latter.

I’m hoping she’s a villain too! I thought for sure she was by the way she said, don’t worry I got it all under control on the phone! Thats probably why I’m finding all this stuff that doesn’t make sense but its probably just a mistake like you said, but I’ll take anything that might mean she’s a villain or something lol 😂 Because I don’t like her and that would be a awesome twist! also just wondering did I quote all that stuff right about jillian not knowing who was after Jason and stuff

Um I’m not 100% sure about the accuracy of the quotes either, but I think they were pretty accurate.
I like Jillian a lot better now that we know that was all an act.

Yeah she is more likable, but to me its kinda hard to believe that Kathy Buchanan had her planned to be a spy ever since the first episode she was in, what’s more, what do you think about jillian being a Christian now and gets the same feeling/sense that Jason does. I feel like it was rushed and so fake by the way she said it, especially the way she said her parents were missionaries; it feels like ( it was played/ said) the way Buck’s cousin ( i think it was his cousin) said she went to church and stuff in,as Buck would have it. The only time we heard anything about jillian being a Christian or anything was in California Dreams when Connie tells Jules to hurry up that Jillian is already at church, or maybe they have mentioned it before and I don’t remember it. Sorry for going on a rant lol its interesting to talk to other fans of aio and get there opinions on things 😁

Yeah it is really interesting to hear other opinions. I was also a little unconvinced by her first claim to Christianity there…

Anywhoo, thanks for replying to my comments! 🤗I should have put this in my first comment ( I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would reply since this is on a older post) but I found your blog/podcast recently when I was looking for album 73 spoilers lol. I like how your podcasts aren’t really long, because I’ve listened to a bunch of the podcasts on aio audio news and theirs are usually a hour each, which is awesome but then its like when am I gonna have time to listen to it all, Continue doing the podcasts they are nice 👍

Thanks! Yeah, I realised that it would probably be a good idea to do some shorter ones. Have you also listened to the ones with John Tuttle III, where I talk with a co-host about a few given topics relating to AIO? My first one of those was over forty minutes, but recently we’ve been making them shorter (even made a seven minute episode that I really edited down!).

The bomb defusing quick prayer was convincing. If se was faking she would not instantly pray. right?

True, but Buck Oliver prayed at the Parker’s house in one episode ( I think) because Mr skint taught him how to do/fake it when they were in a mostly Christian place to trick people. So Jillian could have been faking it as well, but she’s probably is a Christian by the way they played it/her so far, but to me when she was talking about it its like she had no emotions about it or didn’t really care, and if she actually is a Christian I think they should have tried to put her talking about it or foreshadowing it in her other episodes, then all of a sudden now she’s a strong Christian and has the same sense Jason gets sometimes and that’s why she joined the agency and all that.

JaySmose, no I haven’t listened to the one you did with John Tuttle lll, I will try to find it and listen to it sometime. I’ve mostly listened to the ones you’ve done recently, and I liked them because as I’ve already mentioned they are shorter than others.
