1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,360
Happy New Year.
Woo Hoo today on a bite of We're

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,240
talking Percy Jackson in The
Olympian Season 2 Episode 5.

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,760
All right, by the time this
episode comes out, our first

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,520
official episode of 2026.
Can you believe it?

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,040
Can you believe it?
Time's flying, you guys.

6
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:23,520
Unless something drastic
happens, then you know.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Yeah, we can believe it.
What if?

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,640
This was our second episode.
What if something snuck in there

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,280
before?
This.

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,440
No, I mean, that's the problem
with like seeing things before

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,640
they come out and then doing
stuff and then doing everything.

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Everything kind of gets jumbled
a little bit.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,160
But we're hoping 2026 is a
little less jumbly and more, you

14
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:45,120
know, spa and relaxation.
I don't know, I can't.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,240
You can't trust the spa and
relaxation center these days now

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,120
with what this episode tells us.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Yeah, so do all that thing.
So spoilers ahead for Percy

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,400
Jackson Season 1.
Season 2 so far, the books,

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,960
everything all right?
So let us officially take a bite

26
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,520
of Percy Jackson Season 2
Episode 5.

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,880
We check into CC Spot and
Resort.

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,680
Written by Sarah Watson and
directed by Catriona Mackenzie.

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,880
Percy and Annabeth wake up in a
mysterious health and Wellness

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,160
facility run by the maniacally
magical Searcy, who shares that

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,760
she is there to help heroes on
their quests.

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Seems too good to be true.
Clarice washes up on

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,240
Polyphemus's island and works
with a gorgeous Grover to

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,960
escape, but the monster isn't as
dumb as they thought.

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,760
Spoiler No, I'm just kidding.
Super twist I love.

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920
Polyphemus, not being dumb, just
putting that out there.

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,280
You already said it, I just
wanted to make sure I said it

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,480
officially.
Grover thought he was playing

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Polyphemus, but really,
Polyphemus was playing Grover.

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,039
And Clarice we OK, let's start
with Clarice and Grover cuz I

41
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,440
feel like, you know, it's very
much the B plot of this episode,

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,960
but I've very much loved it.
I think it's really interesting

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,800
that Clarice skips pretty much
all the trials of the Sea of

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Monsters essentially and is just
on the island and it has the

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,360
Jason's fleece just right there.
Yeah.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,800
So no, this is a question.
Where did that crazy typhoon

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,680
thing come from?
I you know, I'm some some theory

48
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,480
things are churning in my head.
This episode had a lot of

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,160
changes from the book and I
think that's mostly because

50
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,160
they're doing multiple chapters,
but also like this stuff was

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,800
very small part of the book, so
they expanded a lot of it.

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,160
I'm very curious if there is
some ocean, some poseidony stuff

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440
happening.
I'm not too sure what, because

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,760
remember there is a war going to
be happening.

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,520
So I don't know.
I've I've I think there was a

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,120
reason for it, but show reason
I'm I'm not sure but I am

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,400
curious on why.
Yeah.

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,600
And so they are separated at
this point, right?

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,080
So Clarice thinks that they're
dead.

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,640
And she isn't like, kind of
expecting to be going through

61
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,440
this solo, right?
And so like you said, there it

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,400
is waiting for her, the Golden
Fleece.

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,080
But of course, Polyphemus has
other plans.

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,960
Yeah, and I again, Grover is
finally back in our lives on

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,840
this show, which was very much
needed it.

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,360
It is interesting that to see
Annabeth and Percy together

67
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200
without Grover and seeing Grover
kind of on their own.

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,600
I'm liking this dynamic.
And I like seeing Clarice and

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,320
Grover.
And, you know, I always forget

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400
that Grover is older than a lot
of these people.

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280
He's been with some of these
demigods since they were tiny

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,240
little babies.
Yeah.

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000
So who knows if he's the one
that ushered Clarice into Camp

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Halfwood.
So there is some connection

75
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,760
there that I think as viewers,
slash book readers, you tend to

76
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,240
forget. 100%, yeah.
I was thinking that myself in

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,760
the sense that, you know, we see
them so much as a trio.

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,280
But really, Grover has existed
long before, you know, this

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,080
summer that Percy discovered
that he was a demigod, right?

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,760
And so even when we saw in the
flashbacks in last episode, he's

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,360
been with Dalia, he's been with
Annabeth.

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,560
So he's kind of like, you know,
he's been through all this

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,080
demigod rigmarole for a long
time.

84
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Yeah.
But you know, this is probably

85
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,320
his first time being trapped on
an island pretending to be the

86
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,880
bride of Polyphemus.
Yeah, quite a slip up he does.

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,160
I I do love seeing that he's
grown a little bit with like

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,040
pants flute talking to trees.
That's very much the thing that

89
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720
I love about Grover and he's
very connected to nature, but I

90
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,640
love him having a name for the
tree and everything.

91
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,040
Seeing Clarice and him try to
figure out how to get out with

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,200
also, you know, pulling a fast
one on Polyphemus but.

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,360
I I really loved him playing the
flute and him telling Clarice

94
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,480
like, you know, you got to hurry
up.

95
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,040
She's like, why?
He's like, you know, she's not

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,160
going to hold you for much
longer.

97
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,040
He's like, she's a Cuban oak.
She's very sassy.

98
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,160
Good to know.
Good to know though.

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,160
He has a much, much better
relationship with these plants

100
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,800
than than we do.
But you know, I think throughout

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,280
this whole thing, again, so much
of these episodes and when we're

102
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,360
digging deeper into these
characters is seeing them deal

103
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,720
with their human side versus
their God side, right?

104
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And again, we see Clarice kind
of struggling through a lot of

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,760
this, which I like because I
think it's, again, giving her

106
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,440
more depth and having her
realize that the way that she's

107
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,920
always thought things are
supposed to be isn't necessarily

108
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,480
how they're supposed to be.
Yeah, I think, you know, it's an

109
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,760
interesting part 'cause she
realizes the part of the

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800
prophecy entombed in stone.
She's that's kind of

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240
polyphenous's layer.
So she's very much doubting.

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
She thinks she's failing and
this is where she's going to

113
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,040
forever be.
I'm also curious on so this this

114
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,440
episode has a greater thing and
really introduces the fatal

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,240
flaws of the demigods, which are
just things that you you have

116
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640
and you have to get through that
could be fatal depending on what

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,720
they are for you in each
demigod.

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Kind of you can kind of tell
where they're going to lie.

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,440
But Clarice, I don't think has
ever specifically said in the

120
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,240
book.
What do you think?

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240
From what we've seen, what do
you think her fatal flaw would

122
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,720
be?
It's interesting because I I

123
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,160
don't.
To me, it seems like something

124
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,640
along the lines of being like
bullheaded or something stubborn

125
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,280
or going into immediately going
to anger, right.

126
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,280
Letting anger rule her, her
emotions and her temperament and

127
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,480
her actions.
I Yeah.

128
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,720
I mean, I, I, yeah, I think on
the Sea of Monsters, there

129
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,160
wasn't so much anger as we saw
because especially with the crew

130
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,200
and deciding to go towards
Charybdis and stuff like that.

131
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
And I kept trying to think of
like, what would her fatal flaw

132
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,680
be?
And it's, I feel like it's

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,800
almost similar to Percy, but not
so much.

134
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,160
And that she is very loyal to
how she feels and what she wants

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080
to be done.
Does that make sense?

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,280
Like I think stubborn is too
like tiny of a word.

137
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,280
I almost like to me, it's
almost, in that sense, the

138
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,440
opposite of Percy's, right.
Percy is willing to give himself

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,000
up.
To burn it all down.

140
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,480
To burn it all down, whereas she
is willing to burn it all down

141
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,360
to do something for herself.
You know she does.

142
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,240
Care for her crew though.
I I think that's what you

143
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,080
originally would think her flaw
is, but I think through this

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,960
quest, it's teaching her that
that's not who she actually is.

145
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,960
I got you.
Yeah.

146
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,520
OK.
Yeah.

147
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,600
So she has to, I guess that's
what the fatal flaw is, right?

148
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280
You have to overcome that, and
you have to learn how to

149
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,280
exactly.
Deal.

150
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320
With that right, you know it's.
It's basically forcing you into

151
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,800
therapy of some kind.
What's your what's your fatal

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,080
flaw?
Oh, I.

153
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Don't want to get into that.
No, no, I don't surprise, no.

154
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,680
Oh, this is a therapy session.
I did not know that.

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,920
No, thank you.
Comment below.

156
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,720
What is your fatal flaw?
Yeah, let us judge you.

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,560
No, let us be here to support
you and help you to get over

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,720
your fatal flaw.
So the ending of the ending, but

159
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,040
the last part that we see of
Clarice and Grover is probably

160
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,440
famous, pretty much showing that
like this whole time he's known

161
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,960
that Grover has been, you know,
kind of pulling a fast one on

162
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,680
him, putting the veil over his
eyes.

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,440
And I forgot literally when he
was talking, I was like, oh,

164
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,200
that is weird.
Why would Grover say that about

165
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Aries?
Oh, Cyclops.

166
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,400
He can mimic his voice.
I just I don't know why.

167
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Maybe because Tyson wasn't in
this episode.

168
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280
I just completely forgot the
ability of Cyclops.

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,440
And also Tyson would only use
his powers for good, that is

170
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,440
true, whereas Polyphemus
obviously does no such.

171
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Thing that is true.
I'm very excited to see how

172
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,240
they're going to get out of the
situation because it's it's kind

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400
of scary.
They're both now just tied up

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,320
and under his mercy, and
Annabeth and Percy don't know

175
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,920
about it, so they're just going
to walk into a trap as well.

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Yeah, and I guess what is he
waiting to do?

177
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:05,440
Is he just using them as bait
Polyphemus to get to Percy and

178
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,760
Annabeth?
I mean, that's why he's under

179
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,360
the fleece.
He knows that people are going

180
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,640
to come and you know.
Munch on them a little bit

181
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,480
there.
There was one thing in here that

182
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,800
I really like where Clarice is
really struggling throughout

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
this whole thing.
And, and Grover talks to her

184
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,200
about hope and how sometimes
hope is the only thing that you

185
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,840
have.
And maybe that's enough, right?

186
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280
I think that he says, I just
have to hope that they're going

187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,680
to get here.
I have to hope that things are

188
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,800
going to be OK.
And I think that's a strong

189
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,840
message, right?
And I think for Clarice, hope

190
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880
isn't something that she's ever
had.

191
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160
I think it's always very black
and white with her.

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,280
It's win or lose.
Well, that's, I mean, that's

193
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,720
very much Grover's strength,
right as his whole thing, as he

194
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,680
wants to find Pan.
He has hope that it's going to

195
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,320
happen, even though sometimes
that falters.

196
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,920
That's something that he is very
much excels in, right?

197
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,440
And that's a beautiful thing
that Grover can offer to

198
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Clarice.
Somebody that I think definitely

199
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,160
needs some hope every now and
then.

200
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Exactly.
And I mean, for Clarice, these,

201
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,040
these nuances of humanity are
something that she's never

202
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,080
really been Privy to.
And so she's really exploring a

203
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,960
lot.
You know, I, I was thinking

204
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,520
about it too, cause like we've
talked about how like, oh, it's

205
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,840
more the human side and stuff
like that.

206
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,040
And I, while I do agree with
that, I think like a better for

207
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,080
me when I was thinking, I was
like, is there a better way to

208
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,760
phrase that?
Or like, what is the difference

209
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,000
between the show and the book?
And I think it's more like

210
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,040
personal and emotional stakes
that they're really driving in

211
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,480
on the show as opposed to where
the book, it was very much like

212
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,120
action, kind of basing it off of
the next thing, the next thing,

213
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,000
the next thing.
And while some of that was there

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,320
mostly later in the book and the
show, I think because we have so

215
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,240
many of these characters, it's
definitely emotional stakes that

216
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,480
they're really making sure that
these heroes go through.

217
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,440
I'm loving.
I'm loving seeing it too.

218
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,760
And I think that, you know, when
we think of right, Greek

219
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,880
mythology, there's there are
emotional stakes.

220
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400
I mean, there are things that
happen, but there are reasons

221
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,080
that people are doing things
right.

222
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,920
These gods, these these these
ancient characters and so, you

223
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280
know, in a book form, especially
a middle grade book, we need the

224
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,120
action right?
Whereas the new.

225
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,960
Ones.
Yeah, absolutely.

226
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,800
But here in the show, we can
explore that a little more.

227
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,120
Yeah, I agree.
Polly Famous was amazing.

228
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,520
I think he looks great.
I think even just his layer, his

229
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
home looked fantastic.
You could tell that they really

230
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520
built some of these sets as well
as opposed to just using the

231
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,040
volume stage and stuff like
that.

232
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaking of building and things
look C CS Span Resort.

233
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,920
I have so many thoughts about
this.

234
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,720
I I like it, I like it, I like
it, I like it, but it's also

235
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,800
very interesting on what we got
to see in it.

236
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600
We didn't see anything in the
spawn resort.

237
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,320
Did you notice that?
It's like we saw the bathroom or

238
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,720
wherever they woke up, like the
sauna room and then the hallway.

239
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,040
And.
Her office and her office, which

240
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000
I thought was really
interesting, not that like I

241
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,400
needed to see more, but I almost
kind of wanted to because we

242
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,080
went in this direction of like
all of these people are

243
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,400
demigods.
That's different.

244
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,440
There's not just women there,
there's men and everybody in

245
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,240
between.
So there's a lot of changes here

246
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,840
and I almost wanted to see more.
I loved everything we got.

247
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,080
I just wanted to see more and I
liked the modern modernization

248
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,440
of it.
It very did it.

249
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:25,280
It looked like a Goop CEO cult.
That's totally.

250
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,280
You know, and then also the
Hilla cameo.

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,680
So we see hello, who is Reyna
sister, who is very much Sun at

252
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,000
Neptune and kind of further,
further into the extended stuff.

253
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,120
But we got to see them.
I'd like that she had an iPad.

254
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,720
I don't know why.
I was just like, Oh yeah, right.

255
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,680
They're not.
Yeah, it's not ancient times.

256
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,640
No, and I and you know, those
little quips, right when we have

257
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,560
Mitch from Blockbuster who lost
the streaming wars, we have the

258
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,240
iPads it like that'll make
sense, right?

259
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,000
But yeah, it is interesting
because I did, I did think of

260
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,960
that.
I was like for this grand spa,

261
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,800
we're not seeing a lot of it.
It's for, it's felt like, I

262
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120
don't know, I guess if you're
building an entire ironclad,

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840
sometimes you got to just figure
out what are our principal sets

264
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,280
for some of these things.
We can't build an entire

265
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,040
Wellness facility.
I mean, it looked good.

266
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,320
I just almost wanted to see
like, what were the Wellness

267
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,200
parts of it?
Because you just saw people in

268
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,000
robes and you saw people kind of
relaxing, but then you saw

269
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,440
people, oh, I've been here for
50 years, you know, so there is

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640
a sinister side to it.
And I almost wanted to see a

271
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,000
little bit more.
We should.

272
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,800
Have at least seen at least one
yoga class, right?

273
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,840
Yeah, like 1.
Aqua aerobics class, you know,

274
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,080
Yeah.
Someone with cucumbers on their

275
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,040
eyes or something.
But it is funny because I like

276
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960
that it's CC to me, that was
like Cersei's cult.

277
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,640
Like that's the CC To me, it did
feel like a cult of these people

278
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,240
just like kind of blindly
walking around being like, we'll

279
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,440
get there when we get there.
You know, who's been there for

280
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,880
decades just waiting, you know?
And and they can't see through

281
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,880
it because they've been, they've
been brainwashed by her.

282
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Yeah, I I think there's also
something that I wanted to point

283
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,040
out just with C CS, the look of
it too.

284
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,320
And did you did you get the
feeling it was kind of yellow?

285
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,880
Totally.
I don't that was odd to me that

286
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,080
it was kind of that yellow
filter.

287
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,520
And I don't know if they did
this on purpose.

288
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,800
And this is going to be like my
biggest critique so far of the

289
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
season is that like it almost
looked like because it wasn't

290
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,080
like European or Western, you
know how they put the yellow

291
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,160
filter on things to make it like
exotic.

292
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,400
That's the feel I got from it,
which I did feel like was an odd

293
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,400
choice.
Like the yellow over everything

294
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,200
was like, I don't know if we
needed that.

295
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,320
Well, I also just felt like when
you said yellow, I wasn't even

296
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,960
thinking of like a filter.
I was just thinking of the set

297
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,280
itself, right?
The color of the bricks that

298
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,200
they used even the doors to her
office, right.

299
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,400
They they felt yellow and brown
and even the kind of stained

300
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,680
glass leaves that were on the
doors felt not as vibrant maybe

301
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
as they could be.
I mean, as regarding yellow

302
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,560
versus what?
What do you think would have

303
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,120
made it feel more live?
Oh, no, no, I'm just saying like

304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
I got the feeling of like, this
is like a place in the middle of

305
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,240
the ocean.
It's supposed to look exotic and

306
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,400
stuff.
And it's like, oh, we got that

307
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,840
filter that has kind of been
used in cinema to denote like to

308
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680
signify like, oh, this isn't
Western, this isn't like

309
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,880
European.
This is like somewhere else.

310
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,480
You know, that it, it's like a
minor critique, but I was just

311
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,960
like, oh, that's interesting.
And granted, it did kind of go

312
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400
away like when they left CCS, so
it was interesting to just have

313
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
it there.
It's definitely a choice that I

314
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,120
didn't really care for, but I
just felt like I wanted to point

315
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,920
that out.
Yeah.

316
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,760
I you know, I thought that the
costuming at CCS were stronger

317
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
than the set of CCS.
So good.

318
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,160
You know, I think we had said it
last time when we were talking

319
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,240
about the preview of this
episode, but they just looked

320
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,800
incredible, Annabeth and and
and.

321
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Colors even just like the little
colors that were on their.

322
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Their outfits were fantastic.
There was a clip from Leah Sava

323
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Jeffries and she was on the red
carpet and I think somebody had

324
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,640
asked her like, oh, you know,
how did it feel during that

325
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,280
scene and stuff?
And, you know, she had said

326
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
something of like, I felt
pretty, you know, because a lot

327
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,440
of most of the time Annabeth is
in just regular clothes.

328
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,720
So it was nice to for to see the
actor be like, this made me feel

329
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,440
really good.
And she looked gorgeous.

330
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,640
Yeah, yeah.
They both look beautiful and and

331
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,480
the unit.
Part from Percy, Yeah, he had a.

332
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520
Little more control to his hair.
They put some moose in it.

333
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,080
It was great.
You know, a side note, I'm sorry

334
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,560
to interrupt you, but I believe,
and correct me if I'm wrong,

335
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,320
people over the Internet is that
Rayna did the hair and makeup at

336
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,440
C CS, so it's kind of cool to
think that Hello.

337
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Sister who was there kind of did
their stuff, but we didn't get

338
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,680
to see her.
Yeah, I just thought that was

339
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,520
kind.
Of cool, yeah.

340
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,000
She did a good side part, if
that.

341
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Was part he looked great.
They both looked great, but it

342
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,440
it was funny because in our last
episode we had this conversation

343
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,080
of are they noticing each other
in a different way now?

344
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320
And I was kind of like, no, I
think they're just growing as

345
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,760
friends.
But I thought in this episode

346
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,400
when they were all dressed up,
you know, in their, they weren't

347
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,760
togas, but whatever they were,
that he looked at her

348
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,760
differently.
Well, yeah, well, right, because

349
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,400
I don't think he's ever seen
her.

350
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,280
Just not in camp.
T-shirt slash the magenta

351
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,359
jacket.
So I think that everyone else

352
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,640
was a little early, but this one
I was like, OK.

353
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Well, yeah, I do.
I think that again, we've been

354
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,480
like, oh, there's ripples in the
water are very much like this,

355
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:28,240
this crush that's happening.
I do think that they're still

356
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,800
very much like hardcore besties.
Like this is just like cementing

357
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,080
them as like I will do anything
for you 100%.

358
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,400
I almost just don't want to
like, jump into like they're in

359
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,160
love, but we know where it's
heading.

360
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,960
You know, they're just noticing
each other in a different way.

361
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,360
Oh my.
OK, so we talked about how it

362
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:52,480
looks and what we feel about it.
Let's get to Cersei and kind of

363
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,360
the point of it, right?
I love the change of making the

364
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:00,720
sirens a have to escape as
opposed to like something that

365
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Annabeth wants to do in the Sea
of Monsters.

366
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,560
So I like that that's kind of
keeps them there as opposed to

367
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,440
just like being stuck on the
island for other means.

368
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,920
What?
How did you feel about Cersei?

369
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:19,000
So I, I, I liked this character,
you know, and again, I feel like

370
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,960
I'm being really repetitive now.
They're giving us more depth to

371
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,480
these characters, right?
And so I think that's The thing

372
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,360
is that she has more of a reason
why she's doing what she's

373
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,480
doing.
She says, heroes only love you

374
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,000
as long as they need you, right?
And so she learned that lesson

375
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,560
really early on.
And I think that in the

376
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,240
beginning, you know, you do see
her as someone that's there to

377
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,040
take care of them and comfort
them and help them in a way.

378
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,360
And, you know, she's teaching
them them about their fatal

379
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:50,440
flaws.
And you're kind of like, oh, you

380
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,440
know, maybe maybe she's good.
But I think that that turn, once

381
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,160
she's being figured out, you
know, paints the true picture of

382
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,720
her.
But I think that she's they're

383
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600
giving us a reason as to why
she's doing it, not just her

384
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,520
being evil.
Yeah, well, and I think that's

385
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,360
always been the misconception
with Cersei.

386
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,000
I will say I highly recommend.
So Madeline Miller, who wrote

387
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,840
the song of Achilles, did do
Cersei just as beautiful.

388
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120
It's amazing.
I honestly would put it in like

389
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,000
top books I've ever read in my
entire life.

390
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,600
It's amazing.
And it also gives you, it tells

391
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,640
the story of Cersei, but it
paints it in a different light

392
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,560
of like, maybe this is what was
meant to be said because also,

393
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,040
like, men wrote a lot of the
story.

394
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,760
So, you know, what was it like
for a woman to write the story?

395
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,040
And this is what would have been
said.

396
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,840
So I did like that they gave a
different reason or maybe shown

397
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,680
you a different reason of like,
she's just not a man hating

398
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,880
sorceress that turns people into
animals.

399
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,960
You know, there was a reason why
she did this.

400
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,720
There was people, She helped
them, she fed them, she helped

401
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Odysseus on their way and they
abandoned her and it kept

402
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,320
happening over and over.
And so she said, OK, well, so

403
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,080
you're going to use me, I'm
going to use you.

404
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,120
And I can't really falter for
that.

405
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,040
And this is again, getting like
the, the Medusa stuff from, from

406
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,080
the last season.
So we're seeing a different side

407
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,160
of like, it's not just black and
white with some of these

408
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,560
monsters or villains.
I very much liked it.

409
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,080
I I thought that you know her
reasonings.

410
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,960
The acting was amazing,
introducing the fatal flaws and

411
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,400
having those conversations with
Percy and Annabeth.

412
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,600
Are something that I think they
needed because they're not

413
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,120
getting it at camp and so they
just had to go to Searcy to get

414
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,920
this conversation.
Maybe at camp, instead of

415
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,840
concentrating on chariot races,
they need to concentrate on

416
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,800
mental health and Wellness.
Yeah, maybe right, a little bit

417
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
of.
That come on people, but I love

418
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,040
that Annabeth is like I already
know it's pride.

419
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:39,880
It's fine.
I got it.

420
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,800
I got to leave now.
I'm leaving well.

421
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,880
Right.
It's like pride, hubris and

422
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,720
stuff like that.
Yeah.

423
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,000
Percy, I mean, Percy is very
much loyalty to like an insane

424
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,360
degree fault.
Yeah.

425
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,200
And there's that whole line,
which I, I honestly, this is the

426
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,160
line that I would think people
would freak out about is when

427
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,720
they're walking out and when
they had that first conversation

428
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:05,320
with Cece and they're talking
and Percy tells Annabeth, if

429
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,320
it's a choice between you and
Olympus, I'd burn it down.

430
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,880
Yeah.
Which is like so wild that he

431
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,120
said that in season 2, knowing
what happens, do you remember

432
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,400
what happens in the Titans
curse?

433
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,320
I don't it's been so long.
I'm not oh, I can't I can't

434
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,280
spoil it.
I can't spoil it.

435
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,720
I will say that Annabeth, it's
almost like Annabeth and Grover

436
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,720
switch and these two Annabeth is
very much not in the picture and

437
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
that causes some big problems
for our boy Percy.

438
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,440
So hearing him say that, I am
terrified for people in season

439
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,040
3.
I mean, what do you why do you

440
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,240
think it's a flaw?
Because of the, because of what

441
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,920
it does to them, how it informs
their decisions, Because he's

442
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,200
very much like, he's not
thinking, oh, what do what would

443
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,120
it mean if Olympus got burnt
down instead of saving Annabeth?

444
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,560
Even though Annabeth, we know
Annabeth would be like, no, no,

445
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,400
no, no, you need to save
Olympus, not me.

446
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,960
But he doesn't care very much.
I'm going to save you no matter

447
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,360
what.
And what's interesting to think

448
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:10,120
about is what if Grover was
there, you know, would it be

449
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,680
both of them?
What would who would he choose

450
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,440
between both of because both of
them are his best friends and

451
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,480
you would think that he's very
loyal to a fault.

452
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,240
So what would he do in that
situation?

453
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,480
So it's interesting to see him
have or say these things when

454
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,320
Grover isn't in the picture.
Sure, I I thought you meant what

455
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,120
if Grover was there, what would
Grover's fatal flaw be?

456
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,080
I mean, he's hopeful, hoping.
Exactly.

457
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,280
Hoping to find Pan.
That's your Yeah, yeah.

458
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,800
Yeah, but I I do think it's
interesting to hear these

459
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,360
conversations and have this
revelation between them and face

460
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:45,080
it, both of them in the season
and within this episode is

461
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,720
really cool.
Yeah, You know, and I and I

462
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,960
think that they are paying more
attention to each other, you

463
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,720
know, and in in a very plot way,
she notices that when Percy gets

464
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,240
angry or agitated, he can, you
know, unknowingly to him, move

465
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,360
water in the room, which
ultimately clues her in that

466
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,480
he's one of the Guinea pigs.
Oh.

467
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,920
My God, the Guinea pigs.
We haven't even mentioned this.

468
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,640
That can talk to each other.
That can talk.

469
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,160
To each other, Blackbeard Yeah,
I did see some.

470
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,840
So the official Percy Jackson
podcast, the I can't remember

471
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,760
who was, I should have
remembered who was on it, but

472
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240
they were talking about how the
animal handlers had given them a

473
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,000
note.
We got a putting in Mocha or two

474
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,840
of the Guinea pigs, and we got a
note from Grace McLeod, our

475
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,720
animal coordinator, about the
week before.

476
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,760
And she was saying, like, all
right, you get pudding in mocha

477
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,040
and you put them in a room and
they'll start to chatter.

478
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,920
That's when you know, you're
about 45 seconds away from them

479
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,920
breaking out into a fight, so
you have to keep them separated.

480
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,280
So we had to reblock the whole
Guinea pig sequence in the cage

481
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,880
to have Pudding on top, who
plays Blackbeard and all the

482
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,000
rest on the bottom.
So those two didn't interact.

483
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,840
And yeah, that's.
It's amazing because I didn't do

484
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,560
that that I wasn't there for
that that shoot.

485
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,080
But I did see the network cut of
the episode and I remember all

486
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,360
the conversations in pre about
we're going to have real Guinea

487
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:10,280
pigs and I'm watching the cut
going, Oh my God, are they real?

488
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Are these like that actually
looks like Walker and it and it

489
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,080
looks like a performance.
I thought that was so cool.

490
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,360
What's the What's the beef?
But also like, give this Guinea

491
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:26,840
pig that played Percy and award
because when he said get

492
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,960
comfortable, you're going to be
in here for a while, that Guinea

493
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,640
pig went, oh.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.

494
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,200
The Animal Emmys are Buchi and
or Pudding, who they better be

495
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760
up for.
Can we, can we just like put a

496
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,760
petition out there to do animal
awards?

497
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,320
They really should.
Good Boy.

498
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Anatomy of a Fall, Those are the
recent ones that come to mind.

499
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,040
Indie, you know, Come on.
The, you know, crypto.

500
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,960
No, he's animated.
He's not real.

501
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,520
Too bad he's not real.
But yes, this Guinea pig.

502
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,800
Oh, it's so good.
But I was I was so happy to see

503
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,320
the scene.
I loved how it played out.

504
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,720
I love seeing Annabeth
immediately clock which one is

505
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,080
Percy because it wouldn't shut
up and she kept and she like

506
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,520
turned out it's like oh and then
saw the water twirling so cool a

507
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,120
little.
A little angry Guinea pig.

508
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,120
He was so angry.
But yeah, so I, I, I love that.

509
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,400
And then we see them coming
together.

510
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:26,120
Some teamwork here, right?
I I thought all of the animals

511
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:28,760
would change back into people or
demigods.

512
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Well, when when they eat the ate
the vitamins, they would all

513
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:32,920
right.
Only the Guinea pigs did.

514
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,360
They should have given everyone
the vitamin I do.

515
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:38,200
I felt bad for the rest of them.
I'm actually really curious to

516
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,320
see what happens to C CS after
this.

517
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,600
Or maybe nothing because
everybody there's brainwashed.

518
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,600
Percy has that conversation with
Sadie, I believe her name was,

519
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,920
and she's been there for 50
years.

520
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,640
Yeah, that was so sad.
Very sad.

521
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,640
And you know, are people going
to know what happened after

522
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,680
Blackbeard and his crew escape
or are they just going to be

523
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,560
like, OK And also, are they
going to escape?

524
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,400
Can Blackbeard get past the
sirens?

525
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,640
That's true.
I mean, or is it to say, well,

526
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,280
it's interesting, right, Because
you would think that Blackbeard

527
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,880
and and everyone else that is
freed from their Guinea pig hell

528
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760
would go and save everyone there
or, or tear it down.

529
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,680
But I mean later on we CC back
in her office.

530
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,960
That's true.
Calmly pulling the beeswax back.

531
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,360
Yeah.
So if they are the beeswax if

532
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:28,800
she can mind it.
Look at you fancy.

533
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,640
I was hoping that I could make
that joke at some point and I

534
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,640
was like, it's not going to
happen.

535
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,200
So much fancy, always believe.
Should we?

536
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,000
OK?
Should we talk about the sirens?

537
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,880
I guess so.
Because I think we're done with

538
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,200
Cece, right?
We're done.

539
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,360
With her, yeah.
So, you know, our prediction is,

540
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,640
is that she literally went back
out there, turned them all back

541
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,280
into Guinea pigs again and just
was like.

542
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,800
Oh, gosh, I mean, I will say,
you know, maybe it's something

543
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,560
of like, it's kind of hard to
convince people that are that

544
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,440
much drinking the Kool-aid to
like not do that, you know?

545
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280
What I was just going to say,
Jonestown, there's a really good

546
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,880
book that came out, Oh my God.
It's called Death in the Jungle

547
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,400
and it's infuriating to read how
many people are so easily

548
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,080
convinced of things that are
just false.

549
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,400
Mm hmm.
It's America.

550
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Just saying.
That's for you, yeah.

551
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,840
So even if all these things are
revealed about a person, you

552
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,440
might still follow them anyway
to the.

553
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,200
Sirens.
Holy shit.

554
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,000
Oh my God.
The song, amazing.

555
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,920
The look, amazing.
Just the thing that's happened.

556
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,120
Amazing.
Yeah.

557
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,640
I very very, very very much love
this.

558
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,840
OK, the sirens, they said guess
what, 2IN1 twist.

559
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,800
We're going to lure you in with
one thing, you beat it.

560
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Guess what?
Second thing I.

561
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,680
I believe.
OK, so I can correct me if I'm

562
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,360
wrong.
I'm the book is coming back to

563
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:56,160
me.
I feel like the sea of monsters

564
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,240
just so short and I got through
it so fast that like I I should

565
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,280
just pick it up and start
reading it.

566
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,280
We're going to start reading it
Is that I think wasn't it

567
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,760
flipped?
Maybe was Annabeth tied to the

568
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,080
mass and or maybe I can't
remember.

569
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:14,240
Anyway, I just, I loved the the
intensity of the scene because

570
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,920
it's like, oh, we only have
enough bezox for one.

571
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920
OK, I'm going to tie you up.
But the ship is still going

572
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,480
towards them.
So like the urgency to get this

573
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,720
going.
Really.

574
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,000
I felt it.
Yeah, yeah.

575
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,360
It was really scary.
I I'm sitting, I was sitting

576
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:27,840
there going.
I don't understand how they're

577
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,240
going to get out of this.
I didn't really see how it was

578
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720
going to work.
Obviously they do get out of it,

579
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,240
which is really exciting, but
you know, it is interesting,

580
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,520
right?
So they use what is it?

581
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,960
The sirens use your fatal flaw
against you to lure you into a a

582
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,080
fake reality.
They.

583
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,240
Just lure where you're in, yeah.
And and a.

584
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Scene that you think is real
that will ultimately lead to

585
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,440
your demise.
Yeah, it's like they, I can't

586
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,400
remember the exact words.
It's just like they appear into

587
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200
your soul and, you know, give
you what you most desire, which

588
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,440
plays into your fatal flaw.
Not without my permission.

589
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,800
Do not appear into my soul that
my.

590
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,640
Permission near the sirens.
And I'm not planning on it, to

591
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,160
be honest with you.
But so we see her part of her

592
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,080
fatal flaw, right, is that it's
in this scene, it's Grover

593
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,960
trying to keep Luke and Percy
from killing each other.

594
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,720
I have so many thoughts about
this.

595
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,000
Tell me.
I remember this in the book

596
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,400
because in the book is very much
Athena and her father Luke is

597
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,520
like having a picnic.
She's very much into

598
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,240
architecture in New York City
was designed how she would want

599
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,680
it to see.
So it was very much like

600
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Annabeth.
So show siren scene is showing

601
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,520
her three idiots, you know, kind
of trying to work things out and

602
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,440
like, I guess that's her desire.
It's to see them all work it out

603
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,960
in the sewers, Grover.
Very welcome to dairy.

604
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,720
I know very it.
Grover in the outfit that she

605
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,560
saw him in last.
That was so sad to me.

606
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,560
Yeah, I don't know, Like, I, I
Grover's not dead and Grover

607
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,680
knows that they're alive.
He has the empathy link, but it

608
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,760
was just so like, oh, she hasn't
seen him.

609
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,040
Like he's been missing.
I love that I just bought back.

610
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,480
It's just like Clarissa's like
they're dead.

611
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,320
He's like, no, they're not, It's
fine.

612
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Yeah, no, they're.
Not my empathy link is fine.

613
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,160
They're fine, but so like seeing
that and then Annabeth being

614
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,480
like stab, stab, stab, I know
what you're doing.

615
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,600
This is like bullshit which I
like that the sirens did that

616
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,360
because they knew she would see
through it and gave her what she

617
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,000
really wanted was just love from
her mother.

618
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,640
And I'll tell you what, they got
me.

619
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,120
Yes.
I was like, Oh my God, Athena's

620
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,800
here.
This is amazing.

621
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Audra Day, is that you?
It was, but not really.

622
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,400
I mean we technically did get an
introduction to her in this, but

623
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,040
it just was fake.
So and, and what she always

624
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,520
wanted her mom to say to her is
I'm always watching you.

625
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320
I'm proud of you.
You did the impossible.

626
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Oh man, that's so sad.
But it wasn't real I.

627
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Think it's at the end of the
day, I think everybody does want

628
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,880
that.
It's just Annabeth dealing with

629
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:58,120
so much abandonment and absent,
absent minded father and stuff

630
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,040
like that.
Like that's just all she wants.

631
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,720
She just wants somebody to
notice her and to love her and

632
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,840
to be proud of her, which Percy
does.

633
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,400
And she's starting to see that,
and I love that.

634
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,560
And our boy comes through.
My God though.

635
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,200
But like Percy being tied up
watching Annabeth walk to the

636
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,480
sirens.
That dude must have been

637
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,720
flipping out.
Yeah.

638
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,760
Yeah, You know, and I feel like
this is the first time we got to

639
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,480
see the pen in action this
season.

640
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Well, he's like him uncapping
it, right, Right.

641
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,680
You know, I feel like a lot of
it's happened off screen.

642
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,280
Yeah.
And we've heard it, yes, but not

643
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,760
like actually seeing it.
Yeah, yeah.

644
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,240
So and that scene was awesome.
I the overhead shot of Annabeth

645
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,600
going toward the sirens, going
towards her, and then seeing

646
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Percy at the last minute grab
her.

647
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,680
Oh God, that was so cool.
They're going under the water

648
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,600
and you're seeing all of the
ships.

649
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,440
He's so smart.
That have been LED there to

650
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,520
their demise, but.
He's so smart for letting it

651
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,320
pull him back.
That was amazing.

652
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,120
Hello.
I will say I'm sure the

653
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:58,960
Internet, as soon as I saw this,
I'm sure the Internet is yeah,

654
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,520
talking about how there was no
bubble because that's how he

655
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,000
saves them in the bubble under
blah, blah, blah.

656
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,200
I don't care.
Like, I don't care that there

657
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,680
was no bubble.
Personally, I thought this was

658
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,560
just so much more of like this
Percy, that's how he would do

659
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,880
something.
I liked it.

660
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,120
I thought that it was so cool
and then the conversation that

661
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,600
they have after I think was
there's man, there's so many

662
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,800
good Persepeth moments just in
these two episodes alone.

663
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,760
It's just great We're.
Building the foundation of their

664
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,520
love.
Yes, they're.

665
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,280
Literally saving each other.
I mean she saved him from Guinea

666
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,360
pig form, he saved her from the
sirens.

667
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,920
They're literally constantly in
these life or death situations

668
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,280
and it's only bringing them
closer.

669
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,640
Why do you think Percy was
essentially immune to the siren

670
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,720
song?
He got water in his ears.

671
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,640
Seaweed Brain.
Oh, hello.

672
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,560
Oh, there you.
Go.

673
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,320
He's a person of the sea.
The sirens are of the sea.

674
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,680
I don't know.
I'm making this all do.

675
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,040
You know why I think.
Tell me.

676
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,880
Because his worst nightmare was
actually in front of him.

677
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,640
Oh my God.
Of Annabeth going to die.

678
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,120
People, let me tell you about my
best.

679
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,840
Tunnel vision it's.
Beautiful.

680
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,480
Right, that's what I think at.
Least and again, he was willing

681
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,280
to put himself into danger to
save his friend.

682
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,840
Royal.
Let me tell you something.

683
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,240
Fatal flaw Where?
Tell me where?

684
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,040
Well, he did say that his fatal
flaw isn't just fatal to him

685
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,680
because of what he would do,
because destroying Olympus would

686
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,680
mean catastrophic things, and he
would do that to save Annabeth.

687
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,840
Do it.
That's bad.

688
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,880
No, that's bad, but I do.
But he also told her on this

689
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,120
little conversation that they
had on the boat that he was

690
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,920
like, you shielded me.
Come on.

691
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,200
These kids and their feelings.
What do you?

692
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,680
What do you do?
After you both almost died like

693
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,360
and then you just have to keep
going.

694
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,200
Yeah, where did his clothes come
from?

695
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,640
No, don't get me started on
that.

696
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,160
Sorry, I didn't mean to change.
You knew that upset me.

697
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,080
How dare you?
He went into his.

698
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,480
Unchanging room and he came out
with fresh clothes.

699
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,920
I will say he had Annabeth's
pack so I don't know if it was

700
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,239
in there.
That's a heck of a lot of

701
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,000
clothes.
Also, he can dry off really

702
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,440
quickly.
All right.

703
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,000
I mean, it's, it's TV magic.
So some things we can't think

704
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,400
about too much, you know.
But that did.

705
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,040
I was like, where did that come
from?

706
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,800
But we'll never know.
Maybe she grabbed it for him

707
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:29,800
though.
Maybe had her.

708
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,239
Clothes on right, She.
Was like, oh, we're going to

709
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,239
leave, let me grab his clothes
for.

710
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,480
Him.
Yeah, maybe.

711
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,800
All right.
OK, so we're officially going

712
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,120
towards Polly Famous's island.
That's going to be exciting the

713
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,960
the next week on the look at the
next episode.

714
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:47,199
So excited.
So that means that Grover,

715
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,320
Clarice, Anna Beth and Percy are
going to come together.

716
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,080
They're going to be with the
Golden Fleece.

717
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,920
But my question is, where's our
boy Tyson?

718
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,560
We'll see later.
On maybe he has a little

719
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,000
hippocampus helping him.
I would love that maybe.

720
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,760
Let us know what you thought of
this episode.

721
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,240
What was your favorite moment?
Would you survive the sirens?

722
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,440
What would your song be?
What would the siren sing?

723
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,160
People of the world spice that
be like.

724
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,000
All right, see you next time.
Bye.
