I Plunge to My Death

A few different times I had to stop and verify I hadn't accidentally skipped ahead or skipped an episode because where the characters left off in a scene and where they started in a new one was so disjointed. It feels like a lot was cut to accommodate these short episode lengths, and that leaves too much missing information for the viewer. These episodes need to be a bit longer to bring each scene or episode to a close in a way that makes the opening sequence of the next one seamless.

I hope this is an issue that is resolved for the next season because this show has a top notch cast and is too good to be Game of Throned off the air with poor show running decisions. Let the actors act, bro. We don't need that extended end credit sequence.

Apart from that, I am loving this iteration of the story, and hope to see the other related series adapted as well, especially Magnus Chase.

Congrats, guys! You knocked it out of the park. <3.

I thought the first two episodes of the show were good but this particular episode was uneventful for no reason; it feels like a filler episode without them committing to writing a new dumb plot for a filler episode and instead choosing to take a section from the book, add in unnecessary new content around that section, and put in a cliff hanger instead of resolving the scene in a way that advances the plot. The dialogue is consistent with the rest of the show and wasn't bad, but hardly touches on new themes. This episode could genuinely been far better if they concluded the monster fight in it. I was saddened by the apparent choice to stretch out the number of episodes in the series instead of crafting well-portioned stories for the episodes.

This episode felt a lot like a classic filler. And yet it was such an important episode to really showcase the relationsip and the perspective the gods have with their children. It was also really beautiful to see Percy's hero building and his growing relationship with annabeth. We never really got to see them together like in the books in the original movies so I'm really looking forward to how they build that.

Moreover, the duality of how loyal annabeth is to her mom and how percy sees his dad is so fascinating. It gives such an honest look at parenting and how we see high powers in the world. I can't believe we're left off at a cliffhanger, quite literally. But introducing percy's powers little by little is really smart because they can use them as twists especially for people who've never read the books or watched the old movies. Although some parts are starting to feel a bit rushed and there are a few changes with the book that i'm noticing. I hope they stay true to the heart of the story and the characters.

This is not quite a mid seasons filler but it is a short episode. On that level it is more action packed but it also comes across as a rehash of an earlier episode.

Percy Jackson, Annabeth and Grover continue their quest as their train arrives to Los Angeles. Once again another entity has boarded the train.

Could it be the train guard who accuses them of wrecking their compartment. Or could it be that helpful woman who is also a tad creepy.

The action scenes were thrilling enough with Echidna. The mother of monsters and her pet, Chimaera in pursuit. Percy Jackson might be out of options.

Percy's rescuer was not much of a surprise. There were small character moments with Annabeth but I am sure this could had been combined with another episode.

This was a great episode and the first of the series that made me crave for the next one immediately. I'm actually blown away. I'm so glad Riordian is back in this new more age accurate way. Also who else agrees this story was meant to be told episodically instead of film. Great actor for echidna! She scared me and I'm too old for that nonsense. Also BEST PORTRAYAL OF CHIMERA!!!! I think the kids needed a little bit to settle in but now we have better chemistry and better delivery on their lines. I really love this series already and think Walker Scobell is the absolute perfect kid as Percy!! Can't wait to see more 9/10 episode wow.
