A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers

THAT MOMENT WHEN ANNABETH SAID IT?! I LITERALLY STARTED RUNNING AROUND SCREAMING IN MY BEDROOM. 😁 In all seriousness though, I loved this episode so much-just because there was so much character development, especially with Annabeth. We got to see past her, cool, collected, indifferent shell, and see how much she cared about her friends.

AHeM- percabethhhhhhhhhh! We got so much Annabeth+Percy time this episode, which I really liked because it showed them slowly getting closer, and forming true friendship. I did notice how Grover wasn't in the whole Waterland scene, which deviated from the book, but it worked well, because we got some Grover character development too, showing that he's more then a peace keeper/anxious but goofy friend-he's actually really smart.

And over the past 5 episodes, I've noticed, that every.single.charecter in this show shines. Like even the side characters (Ares, Medusa, Sally, Luke) add so much life and passion when the act out that person, that it gives the show soooo much more depth.

5 episodes in and it just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next one!! :)

Episode five has some edge and plenty of cheeseburgers.

Percy, Annabeth and Grover find themselves as fugitives on the run from the law after what happened on the train.

They are now walking to Los Angeles and evading the police. There quest in truth is at an end.

Unexpected help comes from a motorcyclist on the road. It is Ares, the war god. He might be rough around the edges but he offers them a way to get to Los Angeles.

All they have to do is retrieve something Ares left behind at a theme park. Grover will stay behind as collateral.

It is a spiky episode. Of course it is no ordinary theme park they go to retrieve Ares's shield. It also marks the introduction of Hephaestus, the God of skill and craftsmanship who created the park and has a beef with Ares.

Pacing is still erratic and I do think the series is uneven.

Let me start off by saying how much I loved the gruffiness and character of Ares. He's edgy and wild and a little comedic. It makes his character a little bit more complex and fun. I loved how vulnerable Annabeth is in this episode. She started off with a little more edge and a harder mask because of her past but her heart is growing so much more on this quest.

It's been awhile since I read the books but I remembered feeling very empathetic towards Hephaestus. His story is heartbreaking and even though he was vengeful, we know how abandoned he felt. He wasn't in episode as much as I'd like but they showed in him in a really beautiful light. I'm not gonna lie, I nearly teared up.

Annabeth's seniment towards the end of the episode is so real because it really only takes one person to inspire us to be better. But of course, we can't forget just how smart Grover really is. I love how they made his character a lot more observant and curious.

He isn't as nervous and anxious, instead he's very good at getting people to trust him. He's a very reliable character and I love how he's the glue that holds the trio together. I'm looking forward to the next episode after the cliff-hanger they left us on!

This episode and series is unbelievably annoying and irritating. Not one character is likeable. The way everyone talks soooo slowwww! Every show needs different speech patterns and tones but not this show everyone talks monotone then yells. Everyone is slow and boring and doesn't smile or laugh just sad slow talking. The sets and scenes all go on for way too long and somethings are figured out so quickly and others just drag on and on. Disney Plus needs some new show creators and actors and directors...the need to get back to fun shows with kids that are funny and charming is desperate. This show is sad and boring.

This series has been somewhat playing towards the wants of those who loved the book series and have been dissapointed by the past movie attempts till this point. Now with this episode it was able to achieve this on top of becoming a true premier television show. The addition of Ares the vein god was beautiful for the series as was continuing to place Percy and Annabeth in more and more harrowing positions iin which the have to become the heroes us seeries readers know they will become it was a truly refreshing episode to even me who has enjoyed this series. I hope beyond hope that the series continues in this manner,
