Review: Fast as I Can

Fast as I can

Summary:

Wooton Bassett, Eugene Meltsner, Connie Kendall, and Matthew Parker try to apply the discipline of fasting and, through their comedic antics, realize that it’s far more difficult than they imagined.


Review:

  Plot/writing: I was glad to see that this episode was written by  some of our old friends, Paul McCusker and Marshal Younger. I think that it balanced all of the newness with a wonderfully written episode!

Humor: I thought that a few scenes in this episode were especially funny. Like the one where they are telling what there fasts are about. I loved it when Wooton said, "I know you are fasting wearing every color but green." Or Matthew saying,"I e-mailed her that I thought she was wrong but she wouldn't let it go."

Acting/Characters: I was very glad to see that Mrs. Randolph was back. It gave the scenes with Wooton in it a very old feel.

Lesson: I really connected with this lesson because while I haven't ever fasted eating food I have fasted from listening to AIO, going on AIO websites or reading the official guide for a whole week. I didn't even talk about it and discus all of my thoughts and theories with my mom or cousin as they did their best to listen. It was ironically inspired by the episode, "The Meaning of Sacrifice."
 
  This was very hard for me especially because it was in the summer and in the summer AIO is all I do. I draw Odyssey characters, I even take notes on a piece of paper about an album. I research that album and put the piece of paper in the album so then when I open the album I can read facts about is! And every night I fall asleep with AIO playing (I take it everywhere even backpacking). I had trouble going to sleep the whole week! But it did get me to focus on other things beside Odyssey and I had time for other things.

  So I thought that this episode had a lesson that I was able to apply to my life because while I don't want to fast from food I can fast from something else. And Matthews fast probably applies to everyone who has an AIO blog.

Over all I think that "Fast As I Can" deserves 5/5 stars!
