Daedalus

What I don't like for sure is that the first half of the episode relies solely on Daedalus the inventor, but he doesn't seem very important. I mean the title of the episode itself is misleading because it's called Daedalus. So the episode is really supposed to be about him, and not anything else. However I'm getting the impression that maybe the episode is about Queen Medea more or King Aegeus in this scenario. One of the other big dilemmas that I have with this film is that I just feel like the pacing is too slow. For god's sake we are living in the twenty first and TV shows need to have a quicker pacing. If not then the audience is totally going to fall asleep and I don't even blame them. Now just for the record I am by no means suggesting that Olympus is a bad TV show. I am merely saying that it's flawed in parts. Now I love the sound effects such as the anger of the gods, and the camera angles and visual effects.

As far as I'm concerned this story is nothing more than a mythology mess-up full of everything and nothing jumbled together. It's like a bad repackaged version of Greek mythology. I like the actors though and the idea of curses and magic. What I don't like about the episode though is that I feel that it just gives too much of the story away. In general it's never good for someone to give too much of the story away too soon because it bores the audience. Unfortunately Daedalus the inventor doesn't seem to help much with this story. I don't think this story is as bad as the people reviewing say that it is. All I'm saying is that certain parts of this story could be better. I love the fictional aspect added into the war between King Aegeus and King Minos because of its historical significance. It's hard to tell who are the good guys and the bad guys in this story though. Each character appears to have a different motive and many of them look to be quite selfish and not caring about anybody except themselves.

I admit that this episode was good but it didn't live up to my expectations. I thought that after the initial fiasco of the first episode that this one might just be a faint glimmer of hope. All I will say is it was okay nothing more. There was more action which was a big thumbs up. However the same detrimental cast remained throughout the whole episode which is no surprise to me. If I were the filmmaker I would throw out the script altogether and start off with something new. In essence a clean slate because I don't think that many people like this lame TV show anyway. However out of respect for the fans of Olympus I would say that they should do just one more season so as not to disappoint those who like it. I mean I know what it's like to get attached to a favorite TV show and how hard it is to let go of it for good. I don't like anything about this show except the fact that it has a Greek mythology theme. I would still watch the rest of the first season though just to see if it's worth considering for a second season. You never know.

The surreal effects created for the scenes in Olympus are done well using the camera so I congratulate the makers of Olympus for that. I have to comment on the dialogue between the characters which is good. Oracle as one example is very good in her words to Hero because there is lots of emotion in her voice. I just wish that the filmmakers would have turned the background music off at times because it would make this fictitious Greek film appear more real. However for the most part I liked the episode, and Daedalus looks and acts the part of the inventor. What's more is that the other function Daedalus serves well in is as a supporting character to the whole plot, and he is also a very good comical character. The only thing I would change is cut out some of the scenes like the one with the second military coup. I like Olympus but I believe that some aspects of it are far too predictable and should be removed from the show altogether. Also Oracle is shown way too much to the point that viewers like me are getting tired of her constant appearances. Apart from that I would just say watch the movie and figure out for yourself whether or not this is what your heart desires.

Olympus is a classical exemplar of what it means to make a great TV show. However just to let the readers here know I am not comparing it to the Game of Thrones or anything like that. I want to enlighten people that this movie has real strong suits that distinguish it from other Greek films. Many of the scenes have created a positive, sad, or otherwise occasionally melancholic feeling inside of me as I watched them. Then I realized how well the various actors performed and I just thought to myself how perfect this episode in particular was playing out. This exciting episode shows Hero feeling skeptical for once about the power of the Lexicon. It tells us something about him and that he isn't greedy like most of the other characters for the powers of immortality promised by whoever acquires the Lexicon. This is probably the reason why Hero is my favorite character so far. I would a hundred percent recommend everyone to give this TV show a chance by watching at least the second episode. Before you know it you will like the fast-paced action of the introduction so much you will want to keep watching.
