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 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 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.

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.

It's funny how the feature review criticized the episode...and yet rated it with an eight. Go figure.

Anyways, this episode felt formulaic and like it was just going through the motions to move the story along...and when it began to gain traction, like when it seemed like percy and whatsherface were bonding, it moved on to something else...i hope the rest isn't like this because i was enjoying the first few episodes...i'll, of course, give it another two episodes before i decide whether to continue watching or bail...this was me stretching to make the required characters. How does one speak about something that there was not much to tell about? Ridiculous imposition, the minimum character regulation.
