We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium

A few issues out of the way first: pacing is still a bit rushed, especially the introduction of Medusa, depiction of the gods' apathetic and sometimes immoral nature could be made subtler. Other than that, I loved this episode! Full of all sorts of fun easter eggs that die-hard fans can salivate over while also just being a well-written piece of media. Aryan as Grover got a lot better for me, mainly because he got more screentime centering on his character. They definitely highlighted Annabeth's fatal flaw of hubris more while also still making her a character we can attach too. Walker was obviously great as Percy and definitely sold the character for anyone who still has doubts about his ability to portray Seaweed Brain (though at this point, that's way less than 1% of the PJO fanbase). I'll leave it at that to not spoil the episode itself, but even a non-fan is probably going to get a blast out of it.

Jessica Parker Kennedy's talent is so good it seems unreal. Aryan, Leah, and Walker are so good that's it's obvious and I don't think I even need to mention their awesome talent, because if you've watched two seconds of the show you'd know.

There was a big twist (multiple) that I'm not going to get into because you should just see for yourself.

I loved how they mixed Sally's advice to young Percy in episode 1 with the exciting trial of Medusa that the book had.

This is certainly the best episode so far! I'm not going to lie, I'm probably going to rewatch this episode as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading my review.

The journey of Percy, Grover and Annabeth begins in episode 3. As they start their quest for the lightning bolt and to save Percy's mother, they come face to face with Medusa and there, she tries to seduce Percy into helping him with his quest.

Episode 3 is a good continuation of the series. This is a reminder that some nook adaptations (or all) should be put in the small screen format as it delivers more story and more character development. It also gives more storyline and more time to tell / show the plot of the book. This series is probably going to be one of the best this year (and next year). Can't wait for episode 4.

Pros -Nora West-Allen, I mean Jessica Parker Kennedy's portrayal of Medusa -The trio building up their relationship together -Clues as to someone will betray Percy in the later episodes (and we know who that would be :( ) -The shoes!!!

Episode 3 is 7/10 Still good 😊

We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium is an amazing episode. I have watched 3 episodes and all the episodes were really good. I noticed that Percy was kinda bratty in this episode. He was always disagreeing and dismissing everyone in the group's ideas and stories. But there was one character who shined brightly in this episode. Medusa. I liked how they added character development to Medusa. The actor for her was also really good too. Her part was the most interesting of the episode and carried the whole episode with it. I gotta say, so far, this is my favorite episode in the series. I will be mentioning that in my review for the series. This episode also has great action too. In all, I give this episode a 8.7 out of 10. A strong episode.

This is such a good adaptation of Percy Jackson and way better than the movies. I have been waiting for this series to come out for years and so far have been enjoying it. I love the casting choices especially the kid who play Percy is exactly what I envisioned.

A few things I think could be improved upon, 1. Longer episodes: Because the episodes are so short it forces the story to be told way too fast and important and amazing parts of the story and left out as a result. You have a tv series Its not a movie, so you can take time to add those little details and really develop the story and the characters.

2. More Edginess I felt like a couple of characters where lacking for example Medusa and the Oracle. Both of these character are supposed to be spine tingling. I get that this is a Disney show however you will not offend people or scare kids if you add a little more mystery and suspense to characters. Plus it shouldn't be so easy for the main characters to defeat ancient entities.

With that being said I love the show and hope that production will get a bigger budget for season 2 and make this show truely come to life.
