I Plunge to My Death

I'm so glad they made this into a series. They are doing a fantastic job but 33 minutes? That is not enough time with these characters and this story. I need more! I do hope they are planning to do more than this one book because these kids are incredible and perfectly cast. I look forward to all the adventures they will have together.

I'm not sure why it won't let me post a review that is this short so I'm going to just keep writing until they say I can post something about this show, it's wonderful cast and this fantastic story. I am waiting for Disney to green light season two. Please please.

I Plunge to My Death is an amazing episode. I have watched all the episodes in this series and all of the episode were really good. Yes, all 4 of them. With an exception of I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom ( S1 E2 ), every episode seems to get better in my eyes. Every episode ( besides S1 E2 ) has more heart and more action than the last episode. Even though I liked this episode a lot, I noticed something about one of the characters. That character was Percy. In some scenes Percy looked a bit pale. He had big bags under his eyes, and his face looked slightly white. I don't mean the whole episode, but I mean some scenes near the end. I mean, this stuff happens through. Believe it or not, I got hit in the face with a snowball right today and right now there's a lot of red stuff on my face. Really I wonder why the actor for Percy looked like that. In all though, I give this a 8.8 out of 10.

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.

Overall not too bad, but the episode didn't resolve and really ended at a strange spot. What happened to the monster? It feels like there were pieces that needed to be shown that don't have a place in the next episode. At only 33m, it felt like it needed that last 10 minutes to wrap up. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for that.

Annabeth is still kind of hard to understand at times, like she is rushing her lines. Probably just a kid thing and she'll get better as the show progresses. Overall the casting has been superb and the humor is exactly what you'd expect from a show aimed at kids.

The whole episode just felt aimless and disjointed compared to other episodes.

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.
