Discussing The Odyssey Part IV - Are We Done Yet?

Words About Books ·

2026/04/12

A Fourth Part?!?!? Not since season 1 have we seen such a thing! And to be real, Homer (or the collection of people known as Homer) really could have trimmed a lot of this down. Just a bit too much at the end and it's clearly running out of steam but Ben and Nate, but mostly Ben, are here to ride this until the wheels fall off and there is no more Odyssey left to speak of.

Then that time he went back to the Goddess's island to sleep with her under the guise of burying his drunk friend. Then that time he heard some sirens singing.
