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!! :)

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,
I love edge don't get me wrong and he does really well in this. Buuuutttt he dosnt look anything like the god of war for one why's he not bald the god of war is also way more pale and his beard is to short. It's also a strange to change his name from kratos to Ares such a stupid chnage that wasn't necessary. There's no sight or mention of the blades of chaos or the Leviathan Axe but as we don't see the god of war in combat that's ok. I feel like it would of been nice for the show to stick to the actual Greek mythology instead of makeing it up but overall it's not a huge deal and ultimately if you don't know a lot about the Greek mythology it's not a bad watch .
This is easily the best episode so far. Ares might be my favorite character introduced at this point he was perfectly cast and both hilarious and unsettling. The main 3 continue to become more comfortable with each other and the roles that they are playing. They all have real chemistry especially between Percy and Annabeth. The minor tweaks in the episode worked well and made thing easier to adapt to the screen. I personally have no issues with these changes seeing how they come directly from Rick Riordan himself and don't affect the story too harshly. This show just keeps getting better and I'm here for it and excited for what's to come.
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!

- TriviaWhen Grover is talking to Ares at the diner, he mentions the Turbot War, the Lobster War and the 335 Years' War, much to Ares' admiration. These are what is called as "bloodless conflicts": The Turbot and Lobster wars were fishing disputes over said resources, that never started actual wars but led to continuous hostility among countries (Spain and Canada, in one case, and Brasil and France, in the other). The 335 Years' War was a declared war between the Netherlands and the Scilly Island over pirates that did not escalate to a full blown war, but only ended when both countries realized that the "peace" was never declared officially. This is very in keeping with Riordan's faithful recreation of the Greek myths and Ares' depictions in them, in which he was not only the god of war, but of violence, conflict and hostility in general. This further reinforced with Ares starting twitter fights.
