I Plunge to My Death

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 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.

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 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.
