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.

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 episode hit different for soooo many reasons. Definitely the best one so far-it blew my mind to bits.

Sitting and seeing so many iconic elements come to life from the book, was almost surreal-but if I had to pick the parts that stunned me the most in this episode, it would probably be as followed.

-Echidna: I didn't think it would be possible for one of the monsters in the storyline to be cooler and scarier and more realistic then Medusa was in the previous episode, but Suzzane Cryer just smashed through all of my expectations. She was so sweetly dangerous-it gave me goosebumps. I'm heartbroken that we won't be able to see more of her acting in later episodes.

-Percy getting poisoned: I swear that whole situation had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Especially with how pale he got-it just made the effects of the poison so much noticeable and cinematic. And walker scobell played out being weak and in pain so well!

But apart from just the acting, I really think this was a key part in the story, because for the first time, we get to see the side of Percy, who is more than willing to sacrifice his life to save his friends. And the drama of that scene where he locks himself with Echidna and the Chimera...my heart was POUNDING.

Special mention of the incredible effects of this episode-ESPECIALLY the Chimera...like it looked so realistic!!!!!

And the falling from the arch scene-so dramatic. I loved it so much.

Please keep it up guys!!! U give me something to look forward to every week😆

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.

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.
