The show starts off with a clip that was available on the web months before the show aired and doesn't really offer anything new (except for some background sound effects that wasn't in the original clip). Although it has been heard before, ?it still manages to set the scene for the rest of the show, which is to say that the show is mainly a rather "balanced" show-it's not completely boring but it isn't overly exciting.
The show continues on from there from mainly the "point-of-view" aspect of Tom, Bernard, and Connie. The whole show is really about them finding out what Whit's up to. There are many "most intriguing questions" brought up in the course of the show and most of the questions are not answered. At the end, Tom, Bernard, and Connie are "captured" by Dr. Franklin and Whit and then there is one of those things they try to make sure that we tune in next week, which didn't really impress me. The show comes to a close with some clips from the next show.
The acting was great, the music was very good, and the writing was entertaining (I'm glad to see that Paul McCusker wrote another AIO show after such a long time without doing so). Unfortunately, the writing is only that--entertaining. It doesn't go much deeper. Apart from a quick prayer stop (an annoying thing they insert into many Christian resources so as to have some basis for them to be labeled "Christian"), there is no spiritual dimension to this show. Though probably the best AIO show for a long time, it lacks what should be found in a Christian radio show: a strong Christian message. It might be a little too early to say that this show is void of a Christian message (it is a three-parter; there are plenty more scenes to redeem themselves), but it really took away from the show. Apart from that, A Most Intriguing Question is certainly a different Odyssey show that I enjoyed very much.
