Adventures in Opinions 
Ok so here is my opinion on club exclusive episodes. I have the strongest opinion on this of anyone I know of. I think that club exclusive episodes need to stop. Reason 1 my opinion they are generally not up to the writing standard that aio has (I am not saying that all club episodes are not up to that standard) 2. We are coming up on 1000 episode and there 100 club episodes (at the moment) that is more than 1 10th of aio that can not be used for character development that is 1 10th of aio that can’t be used to continue sagas/arcs. And I think there are 3 ways to fix this 1 stop club exclusive episodes entirely. 2 Use only characters that are not in main stream odyssey like Renee like what they did for the animated series. 3 only do episodes that take place outside of Odyssey. They could do 2 and 3 together. Personally I think 1 is the best option if they do that they should go back to 12 episode albums.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It is crazy to think that over 1/10 of all episodes of Adventures in Odyssey are Club exclusives.
I agree that the main problem with the Club exclusive episodes is that they cannot further develop characters and mainstream storylines there, which means that there are only twelve episodes a year to do that in rather than the previous twenty-four. I think this is probably one of the main reasons why a lot of people don’t like “new Odyssey” as much as the episodes from ~10 or more years ago.
