PERCY JACKSON Season 2 Episode 8 Review

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080
Hey friends, welcome to a Bite
of On this episode we are

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,039
talking about the final
installment of Season 2 of Percy

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,520
Jackson and the Olympians.
Whoa, we're finally here.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,360
We finally got two seasons done.
We've broken the movie

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,000
adaptation curse situation.
So now we're officially going

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,040
into Season 3, which is very
exciting for many reasons, but

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,920
oh, season finale.
Yeah.

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,000
It's always an interesting
feeling, covering something for

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,920
so long, being with the
community, the fandom, and then

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,360
it being done.
Months, months, months even.

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Yeah, I love weekly releases.
Screw binge releases.

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,880
I love a good like that's fine
and then I'll just wait until

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,280
they're all released and then
I'll binge it.

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,480
Yeah, right.
I like the idea of it weekly,

15
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,600
but yeah.
Yeah, but I love just like

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,720
getting cozy and binging
something real good.

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Although this has been so much
fun, I just, you know, and the

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,760
fact it's a well deserved season
3, yeah.

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800
I mean, they've just done such
an incredible job of taking the

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920
work and bringing it to life.
Yeah, we have.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,400
We'll talk about the end credit
stuff and our expectations or

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920
predictions for Season 3.
But before that, make sure

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,960
you're following, make sure
you're subscribing, make sure

24
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,160
you're doing all those amazing
things.

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480
If you've, I don't know, loved
hanging out with us during Percy

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Jackson, We have a bunch of
other stuff coming up.

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,680
We'd love to cover other things,
not just, you know, Disney

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,000
related.
So maybe some heated rivalry

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
coming up, maybe some Wonder
Man, who knows.

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,720
We'll see.
But hopefully you hang out with

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920
us outside of Percy Jackson.
But we will be back to cover

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Season 3 of Percy Jackson.
Of course I delete the spoiler

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,720
alert for season 2, Season 1,
the books, all of that.

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Let us officially take a bite of
Percy Jackson and The Olympian

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,560
Season 2 Episode 8.
The Fleece works its magic too

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
well.
Directed by Catriona Mackenzie

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,720
and written by Craig
Silverstein.

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,600
The Golden Trio arrive at camp
to find it under attack by Luke

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,200
and his giant army.
Clarice gets crushed by her

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,800
crush, Percy gets a visit from
dear old dad, and shockingly,

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Annabeth's old ally might be
Percy's enemy.

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,000
You know, so before we get into
it, I did want to just point out

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,720
that like I episode 7, I got the
feeling that we're going to

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320
really diverge from the book.
This whole finale was a huge

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,120
departure from the book.
I think a lot of it worked and

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
some of it is interesting,
interesting choices.

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840
But for the Season 2 as a whole,
how did you feel?

48
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:38,920
I think season 2's often have
something to live up to,

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,000
especially if it's a really
successful season 1.

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,960
But I really, really enjoyed
season 2.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,800
I think we had all of kind of
the really great adventure in

52
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,040
this.
We had the family drama in this.

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,680
We introduced some new
characters that we really came

54
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,800
to love, IE Tyson.
And I think that what was really

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,240
special about this season was
the emotional growth and kind of

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,920
digging deeper into who these
characters are instead of

57
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:07,480
service level, introducing them
and getting to know the world of

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,440
the demigods.
But this is now that we're

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
situated, we get to know these
characters even more.

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,080
So I think Season 2 really did
its job in a number of ways.

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,960
Yeah, I I agree.
I think we did really get to

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760
know these characters more.
They're growing, so we're

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,240
getting to know some of the more
mature.

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,800
And I put that in quotes because
I still think they're very much

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,600
kids, but more of the mature
themes that are going to be

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,080
shown throughout the series.
There was, I think a lot of

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840
things improved for season 1,
but there is just something

68
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,200
about this show where I'm like,
not something's missing, but

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440
there's something that I'm like,
it's like right on the precipice

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,840
of being like amazing and epic.
And while I do think that as a

71
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,040
fan, I'm loving it and I'm
enjoying everything, there's

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,200
just something about it where
I'm like, are they like, are

73
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080
they not sure where they're
leaning like a little more

74
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,600
younger or a little more older?
Like sometimes I feel like

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,120
there's tiptoeing around some of
that.

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400
And it is interesting with like
a young adult kind of focus

77
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,960
series, but it's a middle grade
book.

78
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,480
So I don't know, I think there's
something maybe I'm just a

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,800
little older from these books
and I'm like, oh, I'm seeing

80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,280
some of the like kind of
juvenile, sure nature of it.

81
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800
But like that's not a bad thing.
I'm just curious to see like

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,120
especially season 3 gets a lot
more like intense.

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,160
I'm curious how much they're
going to lead into that.

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,760
But that's my loved it.
But I'm curious how they're

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,840
going to keep toeing the line
between those.

86
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,600
And I think it is a delicate
balance.

87
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,520
And I think that I, I would be
interested to know if they are

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,720
having those conversations in
the writers room because, you

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,800
know, who is this for?
You know, I think so many fans

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
of Percy Jackson grew up with
the books, but now we're fully

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,680
adults.
So how do you honor both the

92
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,640
source material and the kind of
audience that grew up with it?

93
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,360
And so, you know, maybe that's
where they're holding back in

94
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,040
some ways and pushing forward in
other ways.

95
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:00,000
And like you said, they still
are young characters, right?

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480
So it's only their second summer
together.

97
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960
I mean, in the books, right?
They're probably 13.

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,040
I think they've aged them up a
little bit here, but yeah, I

99
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,760
think it's definitely a balance
that, you know, I don't know,

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,320
maybe they haven't really found
it yet.

101
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,120
When the books came out, what, 2
decades ago?

102
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,560
So it's a lot of the original
fans are grown up.

103
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,400
So how does that translate into
who is this for?

104
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,200
I mean, it's good to make it for
a younger audience, but is that

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,600
going to really be?
I don't know, make sure the show

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
continues to get seasons.
Does that make sense?

107
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:34,600
So I'm not saying they need to
age it up, but it's going to be

108
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,560
interesting to see how they
adapt to that.

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,840
So you more worried about the
fact if it breeds younger then

110
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,760
it won't keep going I.
Do I do?

111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,440
Because I think while there is a
lot of Percy Jackson fans, I

112
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,000
think the studios don't see it
that way.

113
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,040
The studios need to see numbers.
And so, and I don't mean to like

114
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320
start it off this way.
And like I said, a negative

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,920
note, but I, I'm just curious
because I, I do know that there

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,080
has been numbers that came out
that said like season 2 didn't

117
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,920
have as much viewership as
season 1.

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,880
And I'm, I'm just curious on why
that is.

119
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:07,280
We're getting season 3.
So who cares?

120
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,520
But I'm really waiting for that
season 4.

121
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,920
I hope they do Season 4 and
Season 5 announcement at the

122
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,080
same time.
Do what they did with Avatar and

123
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,880
be like we're just going to
finish the the series.

124
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,640
I hope they do that, yeah.
That would be great because I

125
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640
mean, I've said it before, I
would really love to see this

126
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,000
through the end to for this full
five book arc here.

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,280
And you know, when I think about
some of the scenes, you know, I

128
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,320
feel like in the books, Grover
being dressed as a bride was

129
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,880
like such a joke, right?
And so did that.

130
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Did it have the same effect in
the show?

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Maybe not.
Not that it wasn't a joke, but

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,400
it was kind.
Of you can speak for yourself,

133
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,880
OK?
Were you laughing so much?

134
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,000
I was so much.
I liked it and I know what.

135
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,840
You mean I like it, but I think
that that's where we see that

136
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,360
push and pull, right?
It's like he's still in the

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,960
dress.
It's still funny, but it's not

138
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,280
constantly a punch line, right?
And even like, going back to the

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,560
that island, them acting as
sheep, you know, which I loved,

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,000
which I thought was really
funny, right?

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,320
But that's the kids stuff in
there.

142
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,880
And that's what makes it fun.
Yeah.

143
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,120
All right, let's get into the
finale of season 2.

144
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,280
I really liked this episode.
I thought it was a fun departure

145
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,480
from the books because this is
much more of a climactic ending.

146
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,040
And you do kind of need to do
that in ATV show format because

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440
middle grade books specifically,
and you know why a books do this

148
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,960
too.
But middle grade books are the

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,120
ending is really about like
reflection of what happened in

150
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,880
the book and kind of more like
calmer, like ending to the

151
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,640
story, right?
It's like, OK, what did we

152
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,680
learn?
What is the lessons, that kind

153
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,800
of thing.
And so I liked that in this they

154
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,920
understood that you, you do have
to do a cliffhanger.

155
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,320
You do have to do some type of
epic thing because again, these

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,840
are demigods at war, their
parents, uncles, aunts,

157
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,640
everything are at war as well.
So you kind of need to show

158
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
that.
And I thought they did a good

159
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080
job of showing like, yeah, these
are kids, but they are kicking

160
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760
ass, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, kind of reflecting

161
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,440
what you just said, it reminds
me of Breaking Dawn from the

162
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
from Twilight, right.
Whereas in the books we were

163
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
expecting the giant fight, we
needed the giant fight and then

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,600
the book there was no fight.
OK, I want, I do want to just

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,400
put this out there to listeners
because we started this podcast

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,440
with a Twilight property.
Midnight sound, baby.

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,880
Yeah, Midnight Sound, which, oh
God.

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,680
And we might be going back to
Twilight with the animated

169
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,280
series, who knows?
But are you pro?

170
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:31,160
What happened in the book?
Like, did you need a climactic

171
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,679
thing, or did you like the kind
of chess game that was going on

172
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,200
in Bella's head?
Boring.

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,720
Boring, Yes.
No, that's.

174
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,840
And so my point was is that
although in the move, spoiler

175
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,440
alert, although in the movie The
fight doesn't really happen, at

176
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,600
least we get to see it, which
was so fun.

177
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,320
I did like it, but I will say
that I did not mind the books

178
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,600
interpretation.
I actually kind of liked it.

179
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760
She was like, I'm bubbling, I'm
protecting all of you.

180
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,320
It was very Jean Grey, right?
Right.

181
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,840
But I get what I get what you
mean.

182
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Yeah, we did need something the
kind of bookend the season,

183
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400
right?
And so, you know, this episode I

184
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,960
thought was a really fantastic
finale.

185
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,000
I think that it was, you know,
we've been kind of edging along

186
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,960
all these fights.
We had some good action pieces,

187
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,680
but this was a battle.
This was a war.

188
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:23,240
They had to defend the camp, you
know, And so you could just see

189
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560
that, like you're saying,
they're still demigods, though.

190
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,200
They still have strength and
power and wisdom beyond a

191
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,840
regular, you know, human kid.
I am kind of curious though, of

192
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,240
like, and I I'm, I'm going to be
rereading the books as well

193
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,400
before like the seasons come
out.

194
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,800
So I'm going to reread the third
one.

195
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,640
And I do know that yes, the
Titan's curse.

196
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,080
I do know that Percy grows into
his power a little more and

197
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,280
that's just the way of the book.
But it is interesting that like

198
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,280
even from the other campers,
like we're not really seeing

199
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,800
anything aside from sword
fighting.

200
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,360
And I'm not sure like that I I
just find it interesting.

201
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,920
Like, granted, yeah, they
they're not going to be doing

202
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960
powers.
They're not mutants, you know

203
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,600
what I mean?
But like there are some like, I

204
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,560
don't know, like, oh, are we
going to be showing a little

205
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,640
more?
Are we just going to be showing

206
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,560
kids running around with swords?
Well, again, I thought the

207
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:14,880
action was really good, but I
think at one part during it,

208
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,680
when Percy was just getting
mercilessly punched in the face

209
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,680
by Luke, I was like, use your
powers, dude.

210
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,080
Like, they're on Long Island.
They're by the beach, baby.

211
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Yeah, I think it's right.
I, I, he's going to grow into

212
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,800
them.
But it is funny to see like he

213
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,720
got better at sword fighting,
but he didn't get that much

214
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,480
better.
So like.

215
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Yeah, well, and he's only at
like level like one of like,

216
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,400
like so he could do, he could
move water in a pitcher, right?

217
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,560
And he's really good at
seafaring.

218
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,600
But he did turn the tide
coordinates.

219
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,800
He did turn the tide.
But that wasn't a very special,

220
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,280
OK, that was very special.
He didn't do it.

221
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,200
So yeah.
I mean, it's just funny.

222
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,400
It's like.
So yeah, he is growing.

223
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480
And I was actually more
impressed with his sword

224
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,800
fighting because he's only been
there for one summer.

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,200
Really, right?
So good on Percy, he puts on

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,600
that armor and just so comes
back.

227
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920
With the I, I liked how this
whole episode was set up because

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,720
you had Clarice had gotten there
before them, but our group like

229
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Tyson, Anna Beth, Grover and
Percy and Sally got there after

230
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,440
she was there and saw Blackjack.
So there's this.

231
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,440
The stakes are there of like
where's Clarice?

232
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,840
What is happening?
And camp is already being

233
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,080
attacked and you have Dionysus
just singing and Tantalus making

234
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520
people clean up.
Yeah, what is Tantalus deal?

235
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,520
He's so dumb.
I did love his ending though,

236
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,320
because he finally was able to
touch food and then immediately

237
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,800
incinerated.
It was great, which he deserved.

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Yeah, but that's a wrap on
Tantalus.

239
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,200
He's done.
Thank.

240
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,800
God, thank the gods.
Yeah, but I, I loved having

241
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,440
Clarice have her mission of
literally running on foot,

242
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,320
getting it to the tree and then
our group trying to find her and

243
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,320
meet up with her, but figuring
out what state camp is at

244
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,480
because they know there's a
team.

245
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,600
As we heard from the last
episode, there's a team that is

246
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,160
there embedded in camp that's on
Luke's side.

247
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,080
So like who is part of that team
or not?

248
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,240
And that's when Claire Reese
runs into Chris.

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Double agent.
Man, this is this was tough

250
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,760
because we know that she has
some feelings for Chris and she

251
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,080
you could see her trusting him
and that might be a product of

252
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,320
the quest.
She was just on learning to

253
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,440
accept help from other people.
And she does it again.

254
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,680
And then Chris quite literally
almost stabs her in the back.

255
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,320
I mean, slices her leg.
But yeah, it's sad.

256
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,880
It was vicious and this made me
think what would have happened

257
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,840
if Clarice did take him on the
quest originally.

258
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,680
I'm also just like, OK, so we
know there's a team, right?

259
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:45,240
Not like a singular spy.
Then also is like Kronos able to

260
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920
spy on people?
Like where's the like boundary

261
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,040
between that, right?
Like Kronos obviously knows

262
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,320
things and he can go into
people's heads, but like, was

263
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,760
Chris always somebody on Luke's
side?

264
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,800
I was a little confused of like
Chris's turn.

265
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,720
It was almost like he was too
excited to have like that heel

266
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,480
turn.
But like, does he really know

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,960
what's going on?
Like, does he know what Luke's

268
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,120
do?
You know what I mean?

269
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240
Like, is he just more exciting
just because like people kind of

270
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,080
want their moment to shine?
That was very or he just kind of

271
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,080
is dumb.
I don't know.

272
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200
I want to know his motivations.
Yeah, I mean, I think that's a

273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,280
really good question.
Obviously, there's a back story

274
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,080
to Chris that we don't know.
I mean, it seems that a lot of

275
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,960
these kids, they are siding with
Luke because they have felt

276
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,680
scorned by their parent, their
their godly parents.

277
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,040
I guess a lot of the people that
are on Luke's side have like

278
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,240
some of them messed up about
him.

279
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,560
Like Allison is a great example.
Like she has issues.

280
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,040
Right.
Let I mean Allison.

281
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,760
Allison, who's been 1 to get
Annabeth, gets Annabeth.

282
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,640
Well also like she says that she
wants to kill Luke so like she

283
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,720
has she's.
She needs to relax.

284
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,440
She's had.
She's been on C for too long.

285
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
She's lost her mind.
She definitely has seaweed

286
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,680
brain.
Like, totally Seaweed Brain.

287
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,200
And no wait, so Clarice
ultimately, she she finishes her

288
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,240
quest.
Successfully.

289
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,680
What happens to her bone crew?
Well, she made that promise, and

290
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,560
she shouldn't have.
They're also already gone, so

291
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,480
they're back in the Underworld,
I'm sure.

292
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,160
Not an Elysium.
Maybe we'll know.

293
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Sorry later on.
Sorry dudes, but.

294
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,720
Yeah, but I think the Chris
thing is really interesting and

295
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,680
I think as a viewer it was
really surprising.

296
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,360
I wasn't necessarily expecting
it.

297
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,640
And so I think that and and it's
also interesting though, like,

298
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,080
So what was he doing the entire
time at camp?

299
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,640
Just like waiting for Iris
messages from Luke.

300
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,800
Right.
That's where I'm like, was he

301
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,200
part of it?
Cuz he also said we need to

302
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,720
defend camp.
And like at first I thought he

303
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,160
wasn't on Luke's side, but then
it was weird like how much he

304
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,360
wanted to turn against Clarice.
It was just very odd.

305
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640
Yeah, maybe he just needed to
wanted to get to the front line

306
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,160
so that he could help.
Luke yeah, maybe we'll find out

307
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520
more next season.
I'm very curious to see how much

308
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040
more lines in the sand are going
to be drawn between these

309
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,440
people.
But I really did appreciate the

310
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,400
shot of Clarice still injured,
carrying the fleece going into

311
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,280
the the chariot field and
everything.

312
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,880
I thought that was a great
scene.

313
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Then just seeing our our lovely
trio on the chariot to save

314
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800
them.
One Chris, zigzag like the

315
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Chariots coming at you at a
straight line.

316
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,320
Yeah, but this battle at the On
the Hill was quite intense.

317
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Like you said, Annabeth gets
shot right in the chest.

318
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Oh my God, Annabeth.
And then she's kind of just

319
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,360
like, I'm good.
Yeah.

320
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,760
Like, no you're not, baby.
She got shot and took everybody

321
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,000
else in the chariot down with
her.

322
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,680
That was rough.
Yeah, that was rough.

323
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,400
I mean, this, you know, really a
huge chunk of this episode is

324
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,720
kid on kid violence.
Yeah.

325
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,600
I was really surprised.
Well I like that coupled with

326
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,960
like Percy being able to do like
a Clarice speech but like to the

327
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,360
campers and Dionysus.
Dionysus was just singing songs.

328
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,040
I love him so much.
Don't ever change.

329
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,680
But I like that he got a moment
to be like, Cronus is back, this

330
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,520
is happening.
We need to defend camp and like,

331
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,200
rallying the troops.
And they all looked very young,

332
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,240
but it almost mirrored their
image of like, he's around all

333
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,920
the campers and he's asking them
to risk their lives.

334
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,760
And it's right.
It's interesting when you think

335
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,880
of the of his dream that he kept
having or his vision that he

336
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,520
kept having where he's standing
in a cabin, but he's surrounded

337
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,200
by their bodies, right?
So that's an interesting moment

338
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,280
of what's going through Percy's
head and this He's trying to

339
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,960
rally the troops, but maybe
ultimately thinking that he

340
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,560
might be leading them to their
deaths.

341
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Yeah, that's tough.
It's a war, man.

342
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,160
But.
I think you know, he knows they

343
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,920
have to defend the camp.
This is their home.

344
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,640
If if Luke and his army get in,
it's all over.

345
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,520
Right.
Which they kind of do.

346
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,040
I mean, Luke is able to open the
barrier just a little bit to let

347
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,800
some people.
And as we know, I mean, demigods

348
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,040
can come in and out, doesn't
really necessarily matter who it

349
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:50,960
is, but monsters can't.
So we're at this point where

350
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,280
either cut down the tree, but
Luke kind of wants to make sure

351
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,760
Dalia isn't like hurt in the
process still.

352
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
So it's interesting balance
between like Allison wanting to

353
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,880
chop it down, which the axe came
out of nowhere.

354
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,480
She's ready.
That's Allison.

355
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,599
She shoots and Beth and is like
here, I'm just going to chop

356
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,160
this tree down.
She would do well in Hunger

357
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,079
Games.
Oh man, right.

358
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,359
She would probably win.
She'd.

359
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,319
Just be killing people left and.
Right.

360
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,119
No second thoughts.
No, just murder.

361
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Even if you think she's on your
side, she always has an axe in

362
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,720
her back pocket with you.
I honestly thought she was going

363
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,240
to die in the finale.
I'm actually happy that she

364
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,240
didn't because I can't wait for
her to just be a menace.

365
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,560
It's like Luke needs this angry,
you know, second in command.

366
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,480
You know, he's trying to like,
keep it cool.

367
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,840
And she's like, give me the axe
or give me the arrows.

368
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,920
You know, what's funny is that I
feel like a lot of us talking

369
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,600
about Luke isn't necessarily
from a place of like, he's the

370
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,320
villain.
Like, because I think we

371
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,840
understand Luke and we know his
trajectory, or just like we can

372
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,000
sympathize with him a little bit
because the gods suck.

373
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,520
Where are the gods now?
They're not helping at all if

374
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,240
they care so much about their
offspring, some of them, but

375
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,000
camp half blood as being a safe
space, as Zeus had said, Why

376
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,920
aren't they helping?
You're absolutely right.

377
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,600
This is all of your children in
this geographic area.

378
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,440
You think you would care, but
apparently they don't, you know,

379
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,240
and I think that I think that's
a really great thing to point

380
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,680
out.
And, and The thing is, is about

381
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,120
Luke is that it's almost like
Luke is hoping that maybe they

382
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:26,200
could just like talk it out, you
know, in a way, you know.

383
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,200
Yeah, but it's funny that we
we're more like Allison is the

384
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040
villain because we hate hurt in
the best way.

385
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,480
She.
Just shot Annabeth of the chest,

386
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,680
you know.
But maybe we can hate Luke a

387
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,000
little more now, because like I
said earlier, he pummels Percy.

388
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000
Well, he did a very much like
Lex Luthor A1.

389
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,400
You remember he was telling
A1A1A1 that was quite intense.

390
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,200
That scene was very intense.
This whole I mean him stabbing

391
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,440
the fleece giving I loved the
spear that Clarice made in Polly

392
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,560
famous cave still being used to
save Dalia, but I thought that

393
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,840
spear was gonna write into
Allison.

394
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,040
I was hoping.
It would have.

395
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Okay, So what happens if OK,
listen to this.

396
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000
So she throws the spear with the
fleece on it.

397
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,040
It goes through Allison, but yet
the fleece is on Allison.

398
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,560
So it's just like who's the guy
that has the Sisyphus?

399
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,520
So it's like she keeps getting
like so her life would be being

400
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,000
stabbed, impaled, getting
healed, but then still being

401
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,600
impaled.
You know what?

402
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,040
Fair.
What'd she do with the Anabeth

403
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,960
completely?
Fair 100% yeah.

404
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,440
Then it doesn't heal Thalia, but
I think a fun little fate for

405
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Allison Sims.
They can just take it off real

406
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,680
quick and then heal.
Thalia, That's true.

407
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,720
That's true.
Yeah, but I loved that we got

408
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,920
the Thalia coming back and then
her screaming never and clearly

409
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,520
is very powerful.
Oh yeah.

410
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,560
At this point I think she is a
little older than them, so she's

411
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,240
obviously been able to have her
powers being used and she's she

412
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,680
went through a lot.
So absolutely.

413
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,760
Yeah.
But that was fun seeing her just

414
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,880
yeah, lightning bolt.
Everybody out absolutely like

415
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,000
the whole field, which is wild.
And you know, it's, it's kind of

416
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,880
interesting to think of where
was she in some sort of stasis

417
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,160
inside?
This tree just immediate stasis.

418
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,440
And just like for for however
many years, just that anger was

419
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,800
just continually brewing inside
her.

420
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,600
I think that's a really good
thing to point out of the state

421
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,200
of mind that Thalia is in in
this moment.

422
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,400
Because when we eventually get
to Kyron's cabin and she comes

423
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,120
and she sees Annabeth and she
recognizes her, and she's like,

424
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,560
you've grown up.
But she's still in that state of

425
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,200
like, I needed to protect her.
And she might be relieved in

426
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,880
that she protected her, but the
last thing she knew was her

427
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,480
father literally betraying her.
Yes.

428
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Which was wild.
So let's talk about that

429
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,360
flashback.
Welcome back, Chiron.

430
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,200
Yay.
I was very upset there wasn't

431
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,640
any party ponies.
Like I know the budget needed to

432
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,480
be there for it because to get
them from like Miami up back to

433
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,400
camp, you know, that was going
to be a lot.

434
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,280
But like, he kind of he.
Just came to monologue a little

435
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,480
bit.
So yeah.

436
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,080
So he comes to tell them that
this this thing that everybody

437
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,040
has thought about Thalia is, and
that she and that Zeus, you

438
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,520
know, honored her for protecting
them by creating her as a tree

439
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,800
is actually a lie.
He says there's a prophecy and

440
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,560
you're going to be my warrior.
And she's like, I hate you,

441
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,840
right?
To.

442
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,160
Zeus.
To Zeus, right?

443
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Yeah.
So I'm so Chiron is a big

444
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:30,200
perpetrator of perpetuating this
lie that Zeus saved Thalia.

445
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,560
He was there the entire time.
He saw the whole thing.

446
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Zeus took out the Furies.
The Furies were trying to say a

447
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,880
message to Thalia, right?
Zeus took him out.

448
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,560
Zeus was like, no, you're there
is this prophecy.

449
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,720
So therefore you're going to be
my weapon.

450
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,360
Of course the holy is going to
say no, We, she, she says to

451
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,640
him, you're not my father.
You will never be my father.

452
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,040
I'm never going to be your
weapon.

453
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:57,360
It's so like, I don't know, just
so assholy for these parents,

454
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,200
these godly parents, no matter
who they are.

455
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,680
I guess this is part of their
hubris, but like is just

456
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,240
assuming that they're going to
honor them because they're their

457
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,000
parents when you just abandoned
them, the life that Thalia did

458
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,680
and everything.
It's like, you can't just come

459
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,160
in and be like, by the way,
you're going to fight for me.

460
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,040
No thanks.
Yeah, I mean, come on, these the

461
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,320
gods have just for eons been
complete pieces of shit, and not

462
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,240
only to their children, but all
of humanity.

463
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,920
So it's just like, it is
interesting.

464
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,400
What the hell are they doing
right?

465
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,200
Well, they're this is where it's
funny, right?

466
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Because like in my mind, I'm
like, would it would be

467
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,360
interesting if more of the God
slash parents were involved in

468
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,800
this?
But also you have to think

469
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,640
they're preparing for their own
war.

470
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,800
As we see in this like dream
vision that Percy has, which

471
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,600
we'll get into, they're
preparing for their own type of

472
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,760
war.
So it's like they're not really

473
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,680
paying attention to them, which
is so dumb because if they, I

474
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,040
don't know, want their children
demigods on their side, you

475
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,720
would think they'd pay more
attention to them.

476
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Yeah.
And so when their children don't

477
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,400
do their bidding, they punish
them and turn them into a tree.

478
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,920
Yeah, and he was like, OK, I'm
just going to let you be a tree

479
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,160
for a little bit, and then when
I need you, I'll wake you back

480
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,800
up.
And he was like, Chiron don't

481
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,080
tell bye guys which like.
Damn Chiron like well.

482
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:10,880
What is he supposed to?
Do I know?

483
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,520
No, I know.
I thought the same thing, but

484
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,600
it's Zeus.
Yeah, I'm not blaming him, but

485
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,080
I'm also like.
One lightning bolt or me.

486
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,320
Well, and and let's take a note
that we have Courtney B Vance

487
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,440
playing Zeus here.
Now I wish we could have gotten

488
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,240
more of him, but you know from
what I saw, two thumbs up.

489
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,040
Yeah, I think I did a good job,
Lance Reddick, which I mean, God

490
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,680
amongst gods, you know, and
character portrayal.

491
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,600
And I think they did a fantastic
job of picking up that torch for

492
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,840
Zeus because in this moment,
like, man, blame Zeus like that.

493
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,400
That was like on the set and
everything for the filming of

494
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,640
this.
And it's like, yeah, blame,

495
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,240
blame Zeus for a lot of stuff
that's happening.

496
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,520
Like, you know, it's one thing
to be like, oh, these parents

497
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,320
suck, but to purposely do
something like that, that's

498
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,680
just, that's evil.
Yeah, and if you think about it

499
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,680
like, so you want her to be your
warrior, you want her to be your

500
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,920
weapon.
So then.

501
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,880
So then what do you do?
Turn her into.

502
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,720
A tree.
And then what?

503
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Do you know what I mean?
What is the plan from there?

504
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,040
All right, forget it.
How weird, right?

505
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,480
There's a prophecy and you're
like, oh, well, don't do my

506
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,880
bidding.
Yeah.

507
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:17,120
I mean, they have terrible
tempers and obviously aren't

508
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,320
good at making decisions.
One other thing that I was

509
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
thinking about that I thought
was really sad was that, you

510
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,200
know, when the initial casting
came out, obviously we had

511
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,800
Athena in this season.
And it made me sad to think back

512
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,840
that it wasn't actually Athena,
but it was actually the visit,

513
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:33,920
the vision.
Yeah.

514
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,920
But when we, I mean, I do like
that we did get to see Contra

515
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,960
Day as Athena though, yeah.
I just felt bad.

516
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,080
I just feel bad for Annabeth.
Right, Right.

517
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040
You know, And I you, you know,
when you see, like, there's a

518
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,880
God cast in this, you think, oh,
there's gonna be some sort of

519
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,200
reunion and she's finally gonna
get to see her mom.

520
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,600
But.
Nobody but Percy has had a nice

521
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,440
reunion so far with their
parents.

522
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,960
And they had another lovely one.
Yeah.

523
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,080
Well, I do.
OK, so when Percy does get

524
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,360
knocked out from Thalia, he has
a dream meeting with his father.

525
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,560
And I, I thought it was really
sweet for his father to be a

526
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,080
little more warm to Percy and a
little more open and

527
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,360
understanding of like he might
not fully like that you're keep

528
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,640
disappearing, but I think
they're coming to some sort of

529
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,760
understanding.
And we I think we do get one of

530
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,320
the sweetest emotional,
emotional moments of the season

531
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280
with Tyson and Percy.
I love that you can invite

532
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,960
people into your dream meetings,
which is fantastic.

533
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,800
I was, yeah, I was trying to
figure out or like, is it again,

534
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,640
like this thing of where Percy
or Annabeth, like if you're

535
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,440
almost dead, you can kind of
like go between.

536
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,920
I think his father did it.
I think this is like a divine

537
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,920
messaging type thing, just
because it was very much like by

538
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,400
the water and his father was
running it type of thing and he

539
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,040
already talked to Tyson.
That's true.

540
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,600
And it is really funny.
You know, when you compare like

541
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Poseidon in the books was always
wearing like a Hawaiian shirt.

542
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,680
And this version of Poseidon is
like always wearing like a

543
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,400
sailor's.
Peacoat.

544
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,000
He's like a fisherman.
Yes, exactly.

545
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,480
Which is like.
Felt like AJ crew fisherman.

546
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,600
Yeah.
Not like he's going, you know,

547
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,280
like.
Crab hunting, arguably hotter.

548
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,600
Just.
Hey, Hawaiian shirts could be

549
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,680
hot, but fisherman much hotter.
No, I know he's on the scale.

550
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:11,600
Handsome.
Handsome.

551
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,240
But so I the emotional moment
between Tyson and Percy was

552
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,240
really, really sweet because
Tyson saying, you know, when I

553
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,360
was on the streets, I kept
praying or a friend and I got a

554
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,040
brother and I was like, stop,
stop it.

555
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,920
You were already in the MVP of
the season.

556
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,200
You didn't need to go that hard
into my emotional heart.

557
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,080
And you did.
Yeah, I love Tyson.

558
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,160
And he's going to go with his
dad, going to be helping them

559
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,720
build stuff for the war that's
coming, which is very much like,

560
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,560
unfortunately, as a rap on Tyson
for a little bit.

561
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280
But it's good to know that he's
going to go somewhere where he's

562
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,200
useful and can be around family.
He's going to his happy place in

563
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,240
a way, and I think that because
that's what he loves to do.

564
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,880
Yeah, camp just wasn't for him.
No, he loves to build.

565
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,360
He loves to create.
And you know, he just was such a

566
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,760
true ally to Percy through this
entire thing.

567
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,800
It, you know, we never
questioned any of his motives.

568
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,520
I loved seeing, you know, I
think back to him throwing

569
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Polyphemus off the Cliff and and
saving Anna Beth in that moment.

570
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,920
I loved in this episode, he
stops Luke from chopping Percy's

571
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,440
head off with his Trident.
And then he's like, all right, I

572
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,280
have my brother, I have my
father.

573
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,760
I'm going to go work.
Yeah, I can't wait to see

574
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,840
Poseidon's domain, which we will
later later, but that's going to

575
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:30,320
be really fun.
It's.

576
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,600
Going to be very Atlantis.
You think I, I'm, I'm curious to

577
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,360
see what, how they're going to
interpret it, but I, I think

578
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,640
having Tyson have this little
send off before we see him again

579
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,440
two years if we get season 4, I
know it's, it's I, I am hoping

580
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,680
though, that because I think
Clarice and Tyson were such big

581
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,040
hits for this season and I think
fans and everybody was really

582
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,480
drawn to them that I'm hoping
maybe they'll find a way to

583
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
bring them into the next season
or make them more involved.

584
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,880
Specifically Clarice, because I
think Clarice for me was

585
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800
probably my favorite character
for this entire season just

586
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,160
straight through.
I love Tyson, but Clarice I just

587
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,360
amazing, just amazing.
I think that, and especially for

588
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,440
Dior, Dior good John, I think
that she had a lot more work to

589
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,240
do than Daniel Deemer as far as
the emotional stakes that were

590
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,880
involved in this.
And she sold it.

591
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,720
She.
Absolutely sold it while giving

592
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,360
face the entire time.
But I just love the strength

593
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:29,200
that she brings to Clarice and
it's not a strength and

594
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,440
egotistical strength, it's a
passionate strength and I think

595
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,920
that she really delivers that
well while also giving also

596
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,960
giving her those softer moments.
So I agree she was really a

597
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,640
standout.
And she finished the question,

598
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,960
so yay for her.
Yay for her 100%.

599
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,640
Okay, anything of the episode as
a whole before we get to like

600
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,520
the ending and credits that you
want to point out, I will say

601
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,400
like them showing up and like
like, I don't know, like vans

602
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520
that you see around like a
studio lot to go to war was like

603
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,000
very silly.
I was like, OK.

604
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,200
Like the horses?
Sure.

605
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,720
I wear Sally.
Oh, I did.

606
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,040
I did love that they showed that
Sally can see through the mist a

607
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,120
little bit.
I love that.

608
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,720
That's a call back to like
later, later, later books.

609
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,920
But I like that they're still
giving some of the book readers

610
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,320
some of those things and.
She's a little magic.

611
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,480
When it goes in the whole thing
of like these gods picking

612
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,200
people when they have kids for a
specific reason and Sally being

613
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120
able to see through the mist is
probably one of the checklists.

614
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,800
Oh, we didn't decide and say
something like that.

615
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,440
Like there's something like
love.

616
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,000
It's love, OK.
And then you'd leave her right?

617
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,360
It's not just love.
Love.

618
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,360
It's like sort of like
something.

619
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360
But yeah, I just, I just feel
for Sally, you know, she came,

620
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,720
she picked them up and she's
like kind of.

621
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,400
OK, have fun.
Right.

622
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,440
It's like she drops them off.
She's like what?

623
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,760
OK, but who is black?
OK, bye guys.

624
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,120
I guess.
Good.

625
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,760
Luck don't die.
It's like.

626
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Remember that dream you had?
Turns out I have another enemy.

627
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,520
I did really like so Percy and
her have a conversation of like

628
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,800
being this like of the same coin
to different sides of the same

629
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,120
coin between Thalia and Percy.
And I love the moment when

630
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Thalia does explode with our
lightning that you see Percy and

631
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,400
Thalia both falling the same
way.

632
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,360
So going into Season 3, it's
going to be very much little,

633
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,120
little friction between Thalia
and Percy a little bit.

634
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,160
Absolutely.
And then we get into our kind of

635
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:30,120
final scene here, right?
It's Annabeth goes to her, so

636
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,720
Percy's like what the?
Hell, and if I remember

637
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,160
correctly, like in the car ride
leading up there, like you hear

638
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,120
Annabeth being so excited for it
and almost like on the side of

639
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,320
like, she's not gonna like do
the prophecy or whatever, but

640
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,280
she's not sure about Percy.
And Percy hearing that is gonna

641
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,960
be it's gonna mess with his head
a little bit.

642
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,680
Yeah, absolutely.
She's so sure about Thalia and

643
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,720
she's not sure about Percy.
And Percy has literally risked

644
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,480
his life with her for two years
now.

645
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,840
Absolutely.
So it's I can see that it's

646
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,720
gonna be a big form of tension
between them.

647
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,760
And I love how Grover's just in
the middle of both sides.

648
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,680
Yeah, he's like, I'm going to go
look for Pan again.

649
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Yeah, got to go.
Bye.

650
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,760
But I think that this is this is
definitely a cliffhanger.

651
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,120
I think that there are a lot of
question marks around what is

652
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,360
going to happen to the trio.
What is going to happen between

653
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,840
Percy and Annabeth?
Where does Thalia fit into this

654
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,960
entire thing?
Is she a big bad for Percy?

655
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,800
What's going to happen?
So I think as far as a Season 2

656
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,200
ending, I think it kind of laid
the groundwork of giving us a

657
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,360
lot of questions that hopefully,
hopefully will get answered,

658
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,040
yeah.
All right, going into the end

659
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240
credits scenes, so there's 21 is
like in the middle of the

660
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,360
credits, which I did very much
appreciate because we always sit

661
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,080
through those credits because
they're gorgeous.

662
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,240
They're gorgeous.
They're so pretty.

663
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,880
I can't wait for season threes.
But so we see Annabeth and Percy

664
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,320
and in in the books, we know
this is Westover Hall.

665
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,080
So this is like a Military
Academy.

666
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,560
They're there for a specific
reason, which I will not divulge

667
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,480
because people need to
experience that.

668
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,240
But I Grover and tholly are
there somewhere as well.

669
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,920
But I loved that this is the one
scene that they show from it

670
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,120
because this is like the only
time that Annabeth and Percy are

671
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,600
together and like that entire
story.

672
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,080
So it's like 1 screw you for
doing that, but also like it was

673
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,080
just like a sweet moment.
And this is when the books

674
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,280
really, like, they're feelings
become a little more heavy.

675
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,040
And you can see that in the
scene alone with just Annabeth

676
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,080
taking his hand and like, OK,
we're going to go dance.

677
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,800
Which was nice to see her do
that, you know, because Percy's

678
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,640
still a little like, I don't
know what to do with these

679
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,600
feelings.
Yeah, he's like 31 N what's

680
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,400
happening?
But it's it was such a good

681
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,240
tease and then we're getting
Season 3 this year.

682
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,440
This year, do you think they're
doing December again?

683
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it was all icy.

684
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,920
That's, you know, a very good
point.

685
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,840
And I think give them time, like
it's better to give them time

686
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000
for it than to like come out in
the summer.

687
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,240
Like that would be odd.
And last season 1 we got during

688
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,600
the same time.
So I think it's going to be a

689
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,120
very much like, OK, if they get
renewed for season 4, they're

690
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,880
going to start filming this
summer.

691
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,720
By the time Season 3 comes out,
they're going to be wrapping,

692
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,640
maybe filming, starting
production.

693
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,640
So I'm hoping that's your
trajectory that we're going on.

694
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,720
It would be good rhythm for them
to be on.

695
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,920
And then we have we're back at
CC's Spa and of course they have

696
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,240
erected beautiful statues of
Percy and Annabeth, who she

697
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,040
helped leave.
I hate.

698
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Her and I love her so much.
Yes, take credit for it.

699
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,360
I love.
It she's such a con artist.

700
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,440
But we got, we got her answer of
like what happens to Cersei's

701
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,000
resort and Spa after what
happened, you know, after

702
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,760
Blackbeard was awakened and they
got away and we got our answer

703
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,800
that life goes on and it's still
the same.

704
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560
What is she says, something
along the lines of like

705
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,680
something like taking the fast
track?

706
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,680
Right, because she had to cover
her ass of like why these two

707
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040
that just showed up were able to
skip the sirens?

708
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,560
And what happened to the
pirates?

709
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,680
Oh, I don't know, maybe she
turned it back, or maybe they

710
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,440
did get away.
She gave them to the sirens.

711
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,160
She was like, goodbye, OK,
whatever.

712
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,880
I did read somewhere saying that
like they thought it was fun way

713
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,880
to end the season with that to
illustrate, like, you know,

714
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,280
outside of Percy, things happen,
you know, and it's like it's a

715
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,120
good book ending for it.
But they had that scene and they

716
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,360
were thinking of putting it at
the end of season or episode 5,

717
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,800
I believe.
But they were like, just put it

718
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,679
like we have this thing.
Let's just put it at the end of

719
00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:26,960
the.
Season.

720
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,239
I liked it as this kind of
little like wink at the end of

721
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,520
the season.
I thought it was really fun,

722
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,120
which she actually really does
wink at the camera.

723
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,080
But like aside from that, it's
nothing I wouldn't think to like

724
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,000
look more into it.
Absolutely.

725
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Not, I think it was just a
little wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

726
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:44,440
She's still doing her thing.
I guess like, you know, it could

727
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,880
be like Heroes of Olympus type
thing because Hiller was still

728
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,719
there.
So it's like maybe don't lose

729
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,320
hope that we might get extended
stuff adapted.

730
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,440
But you know, I could see them
maybe doing an animated part.

731
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,840
I don't mind animated spin off
some things, just saying.

732
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,320
That would be cool, yeah.
Oh OK, another season in the

733
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,920
books.
That was fun.

734
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,760
I'm going to miss being in
Percy's Percy's world.

735
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,400
Yeah, I was just going to say
we're we're leaving Percy's

736
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,960
world.
And I really think that this was

737
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,120
a strong season 2.
I had a lot of fun talking about

738
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,200
it so.
Let us know what you Yeah, what?

739
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,400
Let us know what you loved the
most about Season 2.

740
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,320
Who is your MVP?
Favorite episode?

741
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:27,880
Do you have a favorite episode?
I think Polyphemus is island.

742
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,480
That's mine too.
Yeah, and my MVP is Tyson.

743
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,880
I just loved him.
I just love him for me, you

744
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,240
know, he's just and I, you know,
I think if we took a quiz of

745
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,920
what characters we are, it makes
a lot of sense.

746
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,480
Yeah, I think maybe we have to
take the quiz again to see what

747
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,720
cabin we're in.
But I'm pretty sure that when I

748
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:48,240
first took it I was in Aries.
And I was in Poseidon.

749
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,560
And you were in Poseidon?
Yeah.

750
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,840
And then I took it again, and I
was in a house that shall not be

751
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520
named.
And I'm wearing my, I'm wearing

752
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,000
my, my Poseidon gear right now.
All right.

753
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,760
Well, that's a wrap on us
covering it.

754
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,320
I hope to see you next week.
We will be covering Wonder Man.

755
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,920
So we're probably going to do it
in two parts.

756
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,680
It's a binge drop unfortunately,
but we will be doing it next

757
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,880
week.
We'll join us. 5 wonderful

758
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,200
people.
