Description

• Do you have a Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt near you? If so, make sure you stop there on December 10!
• The new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 posters depict the giants, Polyphemus, and even the sirens.
• Did you hear about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians official podcast?
• Rick is the Indigo Author of the Month, which means it’s the perfect time to pick up the Sea of Monsters Deluxe Collector’s Edition.
• (Rick shows off what it looks like on his Instagram.)
• Illumicrate is reprinting their exclusive Percy Jackson and the Olympians set! This is your sign to pick it up if you missed out last time.

• It’s time to jump into our revisit of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, starting with–you guessed it–episode 1!
• Walker is so young in these episodes!
• And Young Percy is masterful in those early scenes (and the later ones, too!).
• We’re still impressed with the CGI in this show.
• The cabin scene is so emotional–both Walker and Virginia bring their A-Game.
• Honestly, this pilot is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
• Our first question after jumping into episode 2 is whether we’ll see the Council of Cloven Elders again.
• Will we get another montage in season 2 of all the things Percy got better at??
• Was Annabeth watching Percy the whole time, or was she following Clarisse instead?
• How big are the other symbols going to be when kids start getting claimed?
• Clarisse is a textbook bully, and we’re so excited to see her growth in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2.
• Grover is smarter than both Chiron and Mr. D, and we’ll be taking no objections to that.
• Episode 3 is fantastic for so many reasons, but especially the growth of the trio’s relationship.
• Percy earned a lot of Annabeth’s respect when he talked about why he chose her for the quest.
• Grover stood up to his friends, and that’s super difficult.
• Percy IS impertinent.
• Medusa was a standout in this episode–especially her speech about how the gods are the real monsters.
• Episode 4 begins with Young Percy in the pool and ends with current-day Percy in the river.
• It’s good that Percy got to see that not all mythological creatures are monsters.
• Will we see more of the Mist in season 2?
• Echidna was super terrifying, actually.
• Episode 5 is a standout, for sure.
• We get Percy and Annabeth’s first hug, so mark that down.
• But the real emotional epicenter of this episode is during the chair scene and Annabeth’s speech to Hephaestus.
• Ares is the worst, but we still kind of love him.
• “Thank you for the cheeseburgers and the emotional abuse.”
• Yeah, they’re not going to shy away from his abusive relationship with Clarisse.
• Oh, Leah Jeffries is a PROFESSIONAL.
• Will they have a callback to this episode once Aphrodite is introduced?
• Episode 6 brings us to the Lotus Hotel and Casino.
• We also meet Hermes in this episode, and it’s interesting to see Annabeth’s interactions with him.
• We talk about Clarisse a little, too, and how she differs from Annabeth but has her own strengths..
• Percy misses out on his dad, unfortunately.
• In episode 7, we get the long-awaited mattress shop scene, even if it was pretty brief.
• Cerberus is super cute, and Annabeth is so smart!
• We don’t always love flashbacks, but they work super well in this show.
• How do we feel about Hades’ casting?
• The best moment from this episode might just be the diner scene when Poseidon shows up.
• Finally, we talk about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 finale.
• Percy vs. Ares was awesome, especially that ichor effect.
• It’s amazing to see Percy own his abilities and the relationship with his dad.
• What did we think of the look of Olympus?
• Lance Reddick will always be our Zeus.
• Poseidon totally still has the hots for Sally.
• We can’t help but notice the lighting for the scene between Luke and Percy at the end.
• Grover’s Searcher’s license is a flower!!
• We’re so excited for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. It won’t be long now!
