1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Hey friends, welcome to A Bite
of Today.
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,400
We're talking about Percy
Jackson Season 2, episodes 1 and
3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,040
2.
We're finally officially back.
4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,000
The kids have grown up.
We're here, we've grown up.
5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,280
We have so much Percy Jackson
content coming out that I'm just
6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,960
very happy to be back in this
world.
7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,560
So I'm excited to freely talk
about season 2 episode 1 and 2.
8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,200
If you listen to our getting
ready for season 2 episode, you
9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,800
may have heard some like tiny
hints of what we feel.
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,040
But now we can freely discuss
it.
11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000
The they are no longer
classified.
12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,680
Yes, we're able to talk about.
It we don't feel censored in
13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,720
silence, we can we can let loose
freely.
14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,960
We won't be on like cabin house
arrest.
15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,560
I know, I know.
We don't want to break any of
16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,040
the the rules of Camp Half
Blood.
17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,800

So all of that is down below.
24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,160
Spoiler alert for season 2, the
books, everything.
25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,360
So far we have not seen episode
3.
26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,280
We're trying to do it as best as
we can as they come out, so no
27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,360
spoilers for that, but it's
definitely spoilers for Episode
28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760
1 and 2.
All right, let us officially
29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,760
take a bite of Percy Jackson and
the Olympians Season 2 Episode
30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,200
1.
I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals,
31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,040
written by Rick Riordan and
Craig Silverstein and episode 2,
32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Demon Pigeons Attack written by
Sarah Watson, both directed by
33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,880
James Bobbin.
The school year is ending, which
34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,240
means Percy is going back to
camp half blood with one eye
35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Tyson in tow.
The pair are whisked away to
36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,600
camp by Annabeth.
There they find a new head
37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,600
counselor and Luke making an
attack.
38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,040
The demigod pair try to figure
out a way to save the camp, but
39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,160
a message to Chiron forces them
apart.
40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240
A chariot race leads to Clarice
being named the leader of the
41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400
quest, which means Percy needs
to go rogue.
42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200
That Percy, he's always breaking
rules.
43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240
If there's one, is MO.
Yes, if there's one thing about
44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Percy, he's going to be breaking
the rules.
45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,960
He's Robin Hood.
He's doing it for good.
46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Though that is true, right?
That is very true.
47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,600
So what did you think of the 1st
2 episodes of season 2?
48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,920
I think it was a jump scare with
how big the kids are.
49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,360
But you know what, I actually
think it suits the roles a
50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,360
little bit, right?
We're in Year 2.
51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280
They know who they are, they
know what's going on.
52
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,720
They're a little older and more
mature, but other than that, I
53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,560
think it was so fun to be with
them again.
54
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,280
I think it really kind of kicks
off and launches us right into
55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,360
what is going on this season.
Yeah, I was really scared when I
56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,680
agree, Like the kids are a
little older and that's fine.
57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280
I think that they've already
started Season 3.
58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,600
So like they're getting the jump
on it, 'cause I think like the
59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,000
kids are getting older and this
is just the name of the game,
60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,120
right?
We're not going to get a
61
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Stranger Things situation where
they're like in their 30s by the
62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480
time they're still playing kids.
She's 11, yeah.
63
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Hopefully, but like it doesn't
bother.
64
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000
I did think I was like, oh,
they've definitely grown up, but
65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,080
they're just at that age.
But what I was worried about
66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,080
because you know, sometimes with
these things that kind of skew a
67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,160
little younger, even though it's
not, it's for everybody that
68
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,920
they like to hold your hand
again on like explaining
69
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,480
everything.
This.
70
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,120
I didn't get that in the 1st 2
episodes.
71
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,720
Like there was some reminders
via Tyson being introduced to
72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,400
some of this stuff.
So that felt more natural than
73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120
like, oh, by the way, we're
demigods.
74
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,440
We get chosen by or blah, blah,
blah.
75
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,480
You know?
So I liked that it was really
76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,640
jumping into the deep end with
this.
77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,040
I I really like these two
seasons.
78
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240
I like that we still got to see
Sally right off the bat.
79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,880
But I will say so far, these two
episodes, Tyson probably my
80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,560
favorite.
Yeah.
81
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Absolutely.
So Tyson is a brand new
82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,120
character.
He's played by Daniel Diemer,
83
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,080
and I think that the way he's
playing them is kind of perfect.
84
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,360
He is still learning about the
human world, but he has a past
85
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080
that he's dealing with.
He wants to be close to Percy,
86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,400
and even though Percy's been
keeping him at an arm's length,
87
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,400
he still is loyal to him.
And so I think that Daniel is
88
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,680
really finding that balance,
which I like.
89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960
I like that there.
So if I remember from the second
90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,360
book, like Tyson is introduced,
it's very similar.
91
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,320
What I'm liking about the show
is that we're able to spend more
92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760
time with these characters and
getting to know them on a deeper
93
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800
level.
I think in the first season I
94
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,000
really said that about Sally.
I felt like even though we kind
95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,960
of knew the books, the series
had already concluded as so far
96
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680
at that point.
So we kind of knew where they
97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,040
were going with Sally when the
show had started.
98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,920
And the same thing with Tyson,
right?
99
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,720
It's like it's we're not finding
out as the books are being
100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120
written.
So with that in mind, they kind
101
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,640
of know how to play these
characters and give them more
102
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,800
depth then you would have gotten
in the book.
103
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,480
So these first two episodes, I'm
really appreciating that.
104
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Like Tyson isn't just like the
oh, the big doofy kind of
105
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
younger, older or whatever
brother.
106
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,720
He's very endearing.
He's very empathetic to people,
107
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,840
and I like that you already get
that sibling like dynamic
108
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:06,560
between them, even prior to them
finding out that he's the son of
109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Poseidon.
Yeah.
110
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,720
They have to do a lot in these
opening scenes to let us know
111
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,360
where these characters are.
So, you know, we get a cut
112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,320
montage of seeing them in school
together.
113
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,680
We see that relationship there.
We also see Percy kind of taking
114
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,400
in missing his friends, right?
So there's photos, there's
115
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,920
postcards that we're seeing
taped his mirror into the wall.
116
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,800
So we know, as we know, they've
been apart for the end of the
117
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,520
summer, right, 10, about 10
months.
118
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,440
And so they're kind of off
exploring the world on their
119
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,520
own.
So all of that groundwork is
120
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,280
given to us in these first few
moments, even the details of
121
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:42,160
Tyson, kind of like you were
saying, where Percy trips over
122
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,280
one of his inventions, right?
So we know that he's really
123
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,400
smart.
He's good at tinkering with
124
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,400
things.
He's an inventor.
125
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,880
So I I agree they're not holding
our hand in this beginning part.
126
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,480
We also see that Grover is off
on his own.
127
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Would you call it a quest?
No, not necessarily.
128
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,200
I mean, well, he has a
searcher's license, right?
129
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,160
At the end of the first season,
we kind of see where our main
130
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,800
characters are going to go.
And Grover got a searcher's
131
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,320
license.
So what he's going to be doing
132
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,440
now is searching for Pan, right?
And that's his driving force.
133
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,320
That's what a lot of Satyrs want
to do, or those that get the the
134
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,400
searcher's license.
So I really like that they
135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,160
showed Grover doing that and
also laying the groundwork for
136
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680
what this season is.
I think they did such a good job
137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440
of just being like, OK, I see
where this season is going.
138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Like we need to save Dalia, we
need to save Grover, and all of
139
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,200
that's going to save Camp F
Blood.
140
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,120
At the same time, I like that
they all just kind of if you do
141
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,160
one thing, you're going to
accomplish the other things.
142
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,320
So it was really smart for them
to do that, and you get all of
143
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,560
that really in the first
episode.
144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Yeah, And I think even with
Grover, this Grover scene, you
145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,000
know, he's kind of he's ambushed
by what he thinks are Camp half
146
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,040
blood kids.
They were, they were right.
147
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,480
But again, this is establishing
the fact that Luke now has
148
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,280
followers, right?
Which like, I knew, but like,
149
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
I'm going to be honest, I
forgot, you know?
150
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,640
I like, I'm like, oh, yeah,
that's right.
151
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,920
Luke is doing his own rebellion
against the gods and all of that
152
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,120
stuff.
So I was like, oh, right.
153
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Yeah.
You can't trust people.
154
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,880
That's the thing, right?
So he he sees this girl, he
155
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,400
thinks it's a friend, but but
she's not right.
156
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
And so this also sets up the
fact that we're going to be
157
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,000
looking for the Golden Fleece.
And of course that there is a
158
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680
sea of monsters, because a big
old monster comes and grabs our
159
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,120
deer, Grover.
Title drop.
160
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,200
There you go.
Exactly.
161
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,920
And then completing our golden
trio, Annabeth in these first in
162
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,920
these two episodes, we kind of
see where Percy and Annabeth's
163
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,680
relationship has grown, but also
not grown in some areas.
164
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,360
There's things that we have to
find out a little more.
165
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,680
But it seems like they did write
each other, but they didn't
166
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
necessarily write each other
back.
167
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800
Is that it does not make sense.
Like there's a lot of like,
168
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400
well, you had drachma.
Why didn't you wait?
169
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840
How many drachma did you have?
Why didn't you send a message?
170
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,480
Where was there no Iris messages
sent?
171
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,600
So it's interesting that like,
they're still figuring out their
172
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,440
love for each other, but also
how to be in a friendship first.
173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Yeah, there's definitely some
team drama injected into this
174
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,360
season, which we love.
Well, no, exactly.
175
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Which we love because I think
The thing is, is that we really
176
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,920
needed the first season to
solidify their relationship,
177
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,840
right, to coming together as
this team.
178
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,800
But what happens once you've
solidified that and other
179
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,680
feelings start to grow and the
fact that, you know, they can't
180
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,160
use cell phones because monsters
can track cell phones, so they
181
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,560
couldn't really keep in touch
with each other.
182
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,280
I mean, these are this is the
red tape.
183
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Well.
This is also like OK.
184
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,720
We need to explain why they
couldn't talk to each other the
185
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,480
entire time.
But I think the thing that's
186
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880
interesting is along the lines
of what you're saying, is that
187
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
in their communications, they're
both holding things back.
188
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,360
And because they know each other
so well, they can tell.
189
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,360
And it's just like.
So silly, right?
190
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,920
That's like the audience
perspective.
191
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,080
It's like, Oh my God, just like.
Just tell each other you love
192
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000
each other or just.
Get over it.
193
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,320
You know what?
But like, they can't.
194
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800
They're figuring themselves out
and how they fit together in
195
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,440
this, whatever they're doing.
Yeah.
196
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,760
Yeah.
And so I think that's a really
197
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280
interesting thing to come into
because they're coming into this
198
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,600
summer not necessarily trusting
each other in a way or, or
199
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,400
feeling like they're being
honest with each other.
200
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,040
I don't think initially I think
that they had some like, not
201
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,680
strife, but like, I'm upset at
this person, but like, I don't
202
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,720
know exactly for what.
I know that they hurt my
203
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,080
feelings for not reaching out,
but like, why?
204
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,720
And then when we see Annabeth
find them and she sees a cyclops
205
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,640
with them, and she's like,
obviously you didn't tell me
206
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,120
everything.
And he's like, well, obviously
207
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480
you didn't tell me everything.
So it's like we kind of got to
208
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,240
the root of the issue, but it's
like, why?
209
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Why aren't you guys really
talking to each other?
210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080
And I think that's going to be
really explored in this season.
211
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Yeah, especially with having
Grover taken out of the
212
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,640
equation.
They both have to find their
213
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,080
friend.
And on top of that, Annabeth
214
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,640
being told that she can't tell
Percy what's actually going on,
215
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,960
so she's forced to withhold more
information from.
216
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Brick and Chiron, it's always
like the teacher that is like I
217
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,960
can help you but you have to bet
your friends sorry.
218
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480
If there's if, there's one thing
you cannot do.
219
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,640
Have friends tell Percy.
Oh yeah, also that.
220
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Yeah.
What did you think of the Gray
221
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Sisters?
Oh, I love them.
222
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,600
I love this entire setup to this
scene.
223
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,920
So Annabeth comes rushing in in
a taxicab in the middle of New
224
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,960
York City.
I love that Tyson puts Percy on
225
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,760
his shoulder.
It it's almost like you have a
226
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,000
dog and another dog is like
running at your dog and you like
227
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,200
lift him up to like protect him.
So cute.
228
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800
And it's just, like, so crazy
because, like, Talker, Skobell
229
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,680
has gotten so tall and Tyson is
so much taller than him.
230
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,120
Well, they had to cast like
that, right?
231
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Because he's like part, I mean,
he's like cyclops and part done
232
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,760
gotten.
Yeah.
233
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,400
So it's like it makes sense.
But like, I'm glad they found
234
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,560
somebody that is actually tall.
Absolutely.
235
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Yeah, they did.
And so that's just a hilarious
236
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,840
lead into this.
And just the the mayhem
237
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,280
continues with the Gray sisters.
So this, so this is one of the
238
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560
things that made me reflect on
the fact that like Percy Jackson
239
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,720
is a kids book series but has
adult readers and so they know
240
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,560
they have both kids and adults
watching it.
241
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,560
We grew up with it.
We grew up with like, in some
242
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,440
way it's.
That millennial magic, right?
243
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,080
And so these 3 Gray sisters are
played by Kristen Schall,
244
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Margaret Cho and Sandra
Bernhardt.
245
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,840
We both were like, is that is
that even though we knew like
246
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,280
because they announced who was
going to be in this, right?
247
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760
But it was, it's been a year.
And so we got these, like,
248
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,400
announcements sporadically.
And I remember seeing it when we
249
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,320
watch this for the first time,
We were like, is that Sandra
250
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Chuck?
I mean, Sandra Bernhardt?
251
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,200
I was like, is that Marc Catra?
Oh, OK.
252
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,160
It just, well, and it also it's
so funny that they had all this
253
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600
heavy prosthetic makeup on, but
just by the sounds of their
254
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,400
voice, you knew exactly who it
was.
255
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Sandra Bernhardt.
I could tell by the way she
256
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,480
moves her mouth.
Oh, I was just like, that
257
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,840
totally.
Is that Sandra Bernhardt?
258
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Oh my gosh, she's so hilarious.
And then Kristen Shaw, I mean,
259
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:50,920
it's Louise, right?
It's like Louise Belcher.
260
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,240
But I just loved that.
I I feel like that was just hand
261
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200
delivered for the adult viewers.
Yeah, of this show.
262
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,240
And just this is just such a
hilarious moment.
263
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,360
And of course, this is where we
get the first coordinates that
264
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,320
they need to follow.
Yes, yes, we're going to need
265
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,280
those coordinates a little bit.
It's kind of like the lottery
266
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,120
numbers and lost.
All right, so the Gray sisters
267
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,720
bring us to camp half blood.
I really loved the changing of
268
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,880
the book.
One thing as reading the books,
269
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,480
you always how are they going to
translate like some of the
270
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,800
scenes because this cannonball
dodgeball with cannibals type
271
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,880
thing happens like at school and
not necessarily outside of camp
272
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
half blood.
But like I like that change and
273
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,200
I like that they're moving the
story along but keeping some of
274
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,440
those really key moments still.
So it just helps that you have
275
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,720
the author really having their
hands in this to take care of
276
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,360
the story and make sure we get
this.
277
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,280
Yeah, I just want to say when I
was, I was able to go to that
278
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,440
anniversary celebration where
Rick Riordan spoke and he
279
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160
literally was rushing off to
Canada where they were filming
280
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,080
Season 3.
Like that's how involved he is.
281
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Like he's there every day on
set.
282
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,320
Like those kids know him so well
and he knows something called.
283
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,720
Like Uncle Rick.
Yeah, something like that.
284
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,040
And so it, he's just so
involved, which I think is such
285
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480
a blessing for the series
itself.
286
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Yeah.
I mean, I think it is a blessing
287
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,440
that like Disney and all the on
all of the production companies,
288
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,960
everything involved believe in
it.
289
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,720
And you can tell with the second
season, I mean, going into camp
290
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Halfwood, it looks the same, but
it looks more, I don't mean to
291
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,400
sound really cheesy, but I kind
of do.
292
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,720
It feels more like home going
home in a way.
293
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,240
And it's like I'm more familiar
with this now then.
294
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,760
And you can tell with the set
design and how they designed it
295
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,840
that it they feel more familiar
with it.
296
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,520
And I'm really liking how things
have changed in some ways, but
297
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280
look a little more like, OK,
we're cool with this.
298
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,840
Like we, we got this now we know
what things look like.
299
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,200
We know how things should be
shot.
300
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Or, you know, this should have
this motif or this shouldn't
301
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,520
have this motif.
I very much like going back to
302
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Camp Halfalo.
But as we know, things get
303
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,000
changed up a little bit from the
end of Season 1 into this one.
304
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,520
And we don't have Chiron as kind
of like the headmaster of camp
305
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,080
anymore.
No, it's such a bummer.
306
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,080
We are introduced to Tantalus,
played by Timothy Simmons.
307
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,160
Timothy Simmons?
I mean, I was I.
308
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Love and hate him.
Oh, my gosh.
309
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,160
I was first introduced to him in
Veep, and he just has his skill
310
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,880
of playing a character that you
love to hate and is you're
311
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,840
supposed to hate.
Yeah, Jonah, they're just
312
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,920
exactly.
They're so annoying.
313
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920
And I think that he really
brings that to Tantalus.
314
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,240
We learn, you know, for, for
our, our Greek God lesson,
315
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,640
Tantalus is forever hungry but
cannot eat or drink.
316
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,680
Yeah, right.
And so like, that's his like.
317
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,120
I hate that.
I would be like, just put me in
318
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,280
the pit of Tartarus or something
like I'm I'm done.
319
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280
Right, which kind of?
3000 years.
320
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,040
Yeah, his attitude.
He's just hangry all the time.
321
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,520
He's very much set up as
somebody that could either
322
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:58,120
literally go like fall into the
pandemonium of being hungry all
323
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,320
the time or have that redemption
arc, right?
324
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,440
It's like, I'm acting out
because I'm so hungry because
325
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,920
I'm so sad, right?
And so it's like it's going to
326
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,520
be interesting to see which way
they go because anything can
327
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,360
change from in the book to the
screen.
328
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,960
So I'm really interested, really
interested to see how they play
329
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
this character.
It's always wild when our main
330
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,480
character, and, and this happens
quite a lot in I think youth
331
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,840
media, when our main character
gets back to the place that
332
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,520
feels most like home.
But then the person that's been
333
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,280
leading, it is completely
different, you know, And so
334
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Percy gets back there and he's
he's been so excited to get back
335
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
there.
And it's just, you know, for
336
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,840
him, Mayhem, right?
It's like different.
337
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,600
It's different.
There's this new guy in charge.
338
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,160
This guy loves Clarice.
But also like he like he got to
339
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,000
camp and was in trouble
immediately and then put on like
340
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,280
cabin arrest.
And not to mention he sees Luke,
341
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,720
his old best friend, stabbing
the Talia tree with poison.
342
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,720
By the way, Luke looking fresh
in that white and gold track
343
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,160
jacket.
Yeah.
344
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280
He's like I've been on a boat.
He's like, OK, I do yacht life
345
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,160
now and he looked it.
But yeah, it's just Percy's luck
346
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
that the moment he gets back,
he's totally in trouble.
347
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,400
One thing that I'm really loving
out these two episodes is, like
348
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,120
in the first season, it was
really fun to be introduced to
349
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240
these characters, these actors
playing these characters.
350
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,360
And then I love the
reintroduction of characters,
351
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Clarice's introduction with like
fighting off the giants.
352
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Amazing.
And I was like these everybody
353
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,440
has grown up.
I don't I need to look into
354
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,840
this.
Maybe comment below.
355
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,040
Did they change the actor for
Chris, Chris Rodriguez?
356
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,280
I think they might have or they
just grew up.
357
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,640
You know, it's hard to tell with
these kids.
358
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,600
I love seeing Luke so early,
having Annabeth see Luke as well
359
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,440
'cause it reaffirms that sadness
of losing somebody so close
360
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,080
again.
And I like that they didn't
361
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,600
necessarily fight, but it is
upsetting that he poison the
362
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,520
tree.
Right.
363
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,280
And so this is lowering the
defenses of camp half blood,
364
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,400
which is also adding to the
turmoil of the entire thing.
365
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,880
We also hear that there's going
to be this chariot race, which
366
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,480
is just like a camp wide fun
time, you know, maybe almost
367
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,800
fighting to the death of someone
dies.
368
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,760
It's OK, but I wanted to
obviously the scene is really
369
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,800
cool, but the thing that I loved
most about it is seeing the, I
370
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280
mean, maybe lack, for lack of a
better term, the money they put
371
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,599
into it, right?
You know, they those Disney
372
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,800
dollars looked real fresh with
all those beautiful Chariots,
373
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,120
which really had those motifs of
each of the gods.
374
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,080
Yeah.
I really, really liked on, if
375
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,400
I'm being honest, like how they
depicted it is how I pictured it
376
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,040
in my head.
So I really liked how they did
377
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,960
it.
It wasn't over the top, but it
378
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,560
was the stakes and it was
intense as much as it should be,
379
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,640
and especially with all those
birds coming down.
380
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,520
So there's a lot happening in
that scene that they needed to
381
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,640
balance and I thought it looked
really good.
382
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,560
The only thing that I'm upset
about.
383
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:03,120
Good on Athena for taking out a
Festus's chariot immediately.
384
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:05,680
I wanted to see that baby go.
I'm like, I love all this
385
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,960
tinkering like.
I know that looked like
386
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,160
steampunk madness, that thing.
It just kind of ended up being a
387
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,200
big explosion by the end of it.
But yeah, I thought that this
388
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,240
scene looked really great and I
liked this action, right?
389
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,800
It was nice to have an action
piece in in the second episode,
390
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,920
and it really was just bananas.
And of course, with the birds
391
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
coming in, we're seeing how weak
the defenses of Camp Half Blood
392
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,440
are now.
Well, he's poisoned.
393
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,000
With the boys entree.
Well, and also what I saw in
394
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,640
this scene was Jason Manzukas
and Simmons, so Tantalus and
395
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Dionysus interact a little more.
Really fun.
396
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,080
I love that dynamic.
That was really fun, and
397
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,280
especially with Dionysus
breaking out the popcorn just
398
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,080
because he can.
Love him.
399
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,720
You know he's doing it on
purpose, you know he's just
400
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680
doing it to drive him crazy,
which is just hilarious.
401
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Yeah.
And one thing that we do find
402
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,800
out in these two, and I, I want
to, I want to touch on is the
403
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,400
connection between Grover and
Percy.
404
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,880
So we find out.
So Grover is held captive and we
405
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,880
find out more about this.
We get to see the wedding dress
406
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600
scene, which is like, that's a
thing, right?
407
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,760
It's like it's one of those
moments when you read a book and
408
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,640
you're like, oh, if they ever
did this in live action, that
409
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,160
would be so funny to see.
I love Percy as always the
410
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,360
supportive friend Grover says.
How do I look?
411
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,920
And he goes beautiful.
So they have this like
412
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,080
empathetic connection, right?
And it's, it's very rare, but
413
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,040
like, yeah, best friends can
always like, it doesn't matter
414
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,320
distance or time or whatever.
They can dream together.
415
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,360
They're always connected.
They just have that sense,
416
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:33,800
right?
And so they have this, which is
417
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,920
very nice when your friend is
lost and you need to find them.
418
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,600
So he's hiding from his captor
and he has to do that and dress
419
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,920
because the captor has bad
eyesight.
420
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:50,160
It's a Cyclops has a wedding
dress on and I love that you
421
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,720
don't initially see it on
Grover.
422
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,160
You see it on Percy 1st and then
it switches.
423
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,080
And that's just how like the
dream visions or whatever
424
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,280
they're called work.
But I, I like this connection
425
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
and I think it just adds a
little more to the magic of the
426
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,400
world.
I I just it's really.
427
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Cool.
Yeah, it's really fun.
428
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:12,080
And and I, I, we're also setting
the urgency of all this, right?
429
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,040
The wedding isn't a week, right?
Right, we got a time frame.
430
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,680
And then also when Tantalus is
kind of giving out the quest
431
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,200
later on, he also says that the
barrier will hold for about a
432
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,920
week.
So we know that our timeline
433
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,200
here is a week.
Right.
434
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,960
I think that was like in the
first one too, wasn't it?
435
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,720
Was like, Zeus is gonna like
destroy everything in like a
436
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,120
week and it's like, oh God, have
to go all the way down into the
437
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,080
underworld.
Seven days.
438
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,880
It's the ring.
But we do, of course, before we
439
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,960
get any further, I have to stop
and say, you know, of all people
440
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,640
to save the day, Mariah Carey.
Oh my God, I meant to look up to
441
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,480
see if this was the same song
that they used in the book
442
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,000
again, comment below.
What was the song they used in
443
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
the book because I know they do
update a little bit.
444
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,080
We did that in the first season
and we got in this one.
445
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,120
That was amazing.
All right, let's try and do our
446
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:07,360
best, Mariah.
Absolutely not.
447
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,120
That's about it.
I can't save the day.
448
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,960
No, but I just love that Mariah
Carey saved the day.
449
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480
I mean, yeah, what modern singer
is going to be able to hit those
450
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,720
notes to get those demon birds
away?
451
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,800
I guess that's true.
I guess that's true.
452
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,320
But, you know, we have to really
reflect on the fact that it was
453
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,840
all like circa 1990s and 1980s,
right?
454
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,520
There's a boom box and a
cassette tape.
455
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,600
And there's also just something
kind of nice because it's like
456
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,600
this show again is coming out
around the holidays and it's
457
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,360
like Marius Anonymous with the
holidays.
458
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,640
So it's like kind of keep that.
Like if you want to keep
459
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,280
releasing it around this time
and have it related to the
460
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,160
holidays, I think that's
probably the best.
461
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,240
And, and I have to wonder, is,
is Percy holding the boom box in
462
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,320
that manner?
A shout out to John Cusack's
463
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,440
famous.
Maybe right.
464
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Yeah, yeah.
But Annabeth's right next to
465
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,040
him, so that's.
True, he already got the girl,
466
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,320
but he doesn't know he got the
girl yet.
467
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaking of before we kind of
like go to like the ending ish
468
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,800
of these two episodes to get our
quest started, I do want to
469
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,520
mention Clarice and Chris.
There is a moment where it was
470
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,160
so sweet.
Clarice like gets real close to
471
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Chris and obviously is like
infatuated.
472
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,600
With this question.
Yeah, but she is Clarice, and I
473
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,600
don't think she necessarily
knows how to show it or isn't
474
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000
like, sure, she's doing it when
everybody notices.
475
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,120
I was just like, oh, this is
like the awkward years that I
476
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:37,840
don't like, but it's so
endearing to just see it happen.
477
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,800
It's.
The softer side of Clarice,
478
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,840
right?
And also, though, let's talk
479
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,480
about boundaries, OK?
Chris says you're a little too
480
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,320
close.
I'd like it if you'd step back a
481
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,240
little bit, right?
He put her in his place.
482
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,120
It's so funny.
The only person that can put
483
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,440
Clarice in their place is the
person she has a crush on.
484
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,920
I am so excited to see this them
two blossom into whatever
485
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,560
they're going to be in the show.
I I do want to like I really
486
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,960
very much like Clarice and Chris
in the book.
487
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,680
So I'm very excited that like
we've already gotten hints at
488
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,600
it.
What would there be were you
489
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,760
going to have to say what their
name would be?
490
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080
What their name would be so.
We have like Percy Beth.
491
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,440
For Percy and Anna Beth, it
would be like Clarice.
492
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,120
Clarice right or or or.
Chrissa Therese, I don't like
493
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:23,680
this.
Never mind.
494
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Maybe they don't have one.
They're, they're just, they're
495
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,720
C&C, they.
They don't need it C ^2.
496
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,760
They don't need it.
OK.
497
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,120
Frankly, comment below.
What do you think all?
498
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,600
Right.
So we have.
499
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,720
So after, you know, Percy
sneaking out, we have the
500
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,040
betrayal of Annabeth.
She got told by Chiron.
501
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,600
Oh, you need to do this.
But you can't have Percy come
502
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,560
along and he can't know that he
doesn't know something.
503
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,240
Thank you for that.
So they already have that kind
504
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,320
of kink in the relationship of
there was something over the
505
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800
year that they didn't really
necessarily like that they did.
506
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,400
And now she's having to openly
betray him when she's also not
507
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,920
communicating what the plan is.
So he's constantly trying to
508
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,800
trust her, but he constantly
shuts him down.
509
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,360
Yeah.
So Clarice picks Annabeth, and
510
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:13,520
she's going to pick Percy
because, duh, seaquest.
511
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,480
It doesn't.
She picks her crush, which is
512
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,840
fine, but Annabeth whispers to
her so Percy openly sees it.
513
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Yeah.
And then through this betrayal,
514
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,520
the thing that's interesting,
right?
515
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280
So Percy is really hurt, but
this betrayal actually leads to
516
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,880
his and Tyson's relationship
becoming stronger, which I love.
517
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,520
Absolutely.
So because Tyson has really good
518
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,200
hearing.
And actually, not only is it
519
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
just like good hearing, he's
kind of like a recorder.
520
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,440
I'm going to be honest, it
freaked me out, but it's good.
521
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,880
It freaked me.
Out in the beginning of the
522
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,520
episode.
Well in the beginning of episode
523
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,920
1 when he did it with Sally I
thought he was just mouthing
524
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,640
what she was saying in that
moment.
525
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,680
But when it happened again with
Annabelle that was like him.
526
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Wow so he can literally just
fully mimic someones voice?
527
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,000
It might come in handy later.
My God.
528
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,920
So this endears him to Percy.
Percy's like, oh, wait.
529
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,120
You know, all this time I've
been trying to, like, keep you
530
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:09,960
away from me.
But as I've been going through
531
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
all this trouble here at Camp
Heff Blood, all you've been
532
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080
doing is helping me, right?
You fix the wheel of the
533
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,360
chariot.
You're helping me now with
534
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,920
Annabeth.
And I got to be honest, like
535
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,320
this, even though we know what
Annabeth is doing, to see
536
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,440
Percy's so upset about it, you
feel it, you know?
537
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,080
It's like, I know that she's
doing this, but he doesn't know.
538
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,680
And it's just so sad.
And then you also have it
539
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,040
paralleled with like Tyson
openly telling Percy, like even
540
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,760
though I'm here, I'm alone.
Like I was on the streets and
541
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,000
like monsters are always after
me.
542
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Now it makes sense because I am
the son of beside him.
543
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,320
But like prior to that, like I I
didn't have anybody.
544
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,080
And now, like, he won't even
call him his brother, even
545
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,320
though Dyson was openly ready to
be like, hi, bro.
546
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Yeah.
And it's like, Oh no, we're not
547
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,360
brothers, but like.
Literally by God blood.
548
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,960
You literally are you.
Literally are exactly exactly.
549
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
So it's like, it's an
interesting, like everybody's
550
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
relationship again, we're going
to have to go through this
551
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,520
because that's just, there
wouldn't be any story without
552
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,360
any emotional stakes or growth.
And this is how you get growth.
553
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,280
So it's just a new dynamic.
But I did love getting to meet
554
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,000
Hermes again and Percy being
able to talk about it.
555
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760
So instead of his father, of
course not showing up, Hermes
556
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,640
the messenger, he gives him
things that he needs and sends
557
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,440
him along in the quest.
He's like, OK, I approved this
558
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,680
quest but via Hermes.
Quest approved.
559
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,560
But is it he?
I think personally it's
560
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,720
something that we need to
remember is, is it from Poseidon
561
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,680
or is it from Hermes?
Because Hermes comes and we know
562
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,760
that he's of lies.
So Percy kind of clocked it a
563
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,280
little bit, but he's like, what
else am I going to do?
564
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,960
I have a boat and I have a bag
full of goodies.
565
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,200
Like I guess I need to go.
And I need a guy to tell me that
566
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,640
it's OK.
So I'm going to go.
567
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,160
And of course, Hermes has his
own agenda here, right?
568
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,560
He wants to be reunited with the
sun.
569
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,840
He wants to make amends with
Luke.
570
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,960
But at the same time, Percy is
definitely put in this hard
571
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,840
position of like, OK, well, I
got to do this thing to save the
572
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,640
tree.
So I guess I have to do what you
573
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,600
want me to do in order to get
out of here.
574
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,120
And I think it's like, also good
for Percy to hear, like, he
575
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,040
betrayed, like, he's doing this
stuff and he's like, he's my
576
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,440
son.
He's like, yeah, but he did
577
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,720
this.
And he's like, he's still my
578
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,160
son, right?
So I think that, like, Percy is,
579
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,440
he has his own relationship
issues with his brother and his
580
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,200
dad and everything like that.
And I think that just because
581
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,560
what he's going through isn't
the same thing as somebody else,
582
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,280
and as a young kid, he's
starting to learn that a little
583
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,800
bit.
Let's talk about Percy's first
584
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,960
day at camp, or like first two
days at camp, right?
585
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,000
He's so excited to be reunited
with his friends.
586
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,800
He gets there, he finds out his
the cyclops that's been living
587
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,960
with him is actually his
brother.
588
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,640
His best friend is betraying
him.
589
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,400
The tree has been stabbed and
now he has to go on a quest.
590
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Yeah, but he's going out on a
quest with Annabeth and Tyson.
591
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,800
Honestly good group.
A fantastic trio, Tantalus.
592
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,680
Did try to literally Pew Pew
them in the face, Yeah.
593
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,360
Yeah, with a crossbow.
These bronze tipped arrows are
594
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,600
going to murder.
You cosmic.
595
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,360
What did they say?
Celestial blonde bro.
596
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:56,480
Celestial.
Yeah, yeah, he almost did it
597
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,240
too.
Celestial, so they're off.
598
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,320
Too.
I love that little like pontoon
599
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,720
boat that they got.
I was like, oh, that's cute.
600
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,560
So colorful.
Yeah, delightful.
601
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,920
Yeah, so they're literally
sailing off and that's really
602
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,360
setting like now we have our
quest, now we're on our quest,
603
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,040
Whatever.
What's going to happen with
604
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,760
Laurice?
I don't know who's she going to
605
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,240
go with, Chris and who, but we
did get a little look at Episode
606
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,120
3 and it looks quite exciting.
We're going to see Aries.
607
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,760
And we're, we're getting on a
yacht, people.
608
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,960
We're going on a cruise ship,
but we don't know who's on the
609
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,840
cruise ship.
It's not going to be good.
610
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,280
Yeah.
Not going to be good.
611
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,280
OK, Yeah, I guess.
Let us know what you thought of
612
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,160
episode 1 and 2.
Did you like it?
613
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,880
Are you excited for more?
I'm very excited.
614
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,360
I, I think it's just everything
about it just feels a little
615
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,560
more polished.
I don't want to say better, but
616
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,920
it's just a little more.
I think what I said established
617
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,120
like they're comfortable in
these roles, so.
618
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,400
The goods are being delivered.
Here.
619
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,680
Yeah, yeah.
So episode 3 next week.
620
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Let's do it.
We're back.
621
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:57,760
OK, bye.
Bye.
