Check out my BREAKDOWN/REVIEW of episode 7: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLdoablh2Z6qhqc.htmlsi=sAH7ckQyKP3EgBl5

Poseidon stayed out of Percy's life cause he listened to Percy's moms wish for him to know himself before knowing him and his family

I really like this new portrayal of Hades with him deciding to boycott the family gatherings because toxic grudges lol instead of the typical dark and brooding description

One thing I noticed in the episode is when Poseidon said "no yet" to Sally when she asks if he wants to meet Percy and hear his voice, you can hear the thunder which is such a nice way to show Zeus's threat over him and why he is not meeting Percy right at that moment.

The flashback scenes in this episode are SO GOOD! The part where young Percy asks Sally "Why are you trying to get rid of me? I would never do this to you." had to be such a gut punch for Sally to hear, especially when she's just trying to keep her son safe. I truly felt for both of them. 😭💔 Also, even though we only got to see him for a few minutes, I love Jay Duplass's portrayal of Hades already! The way he so casually just says things like "Okey-doke.", "I see you.", and "You know, typically, getting crushed by a minotaur is a terminal diagnosis." is so funny to me! 😂

The main praise i have for this episode is the structure, like the emotional flashbacks in the mids of action and many great lines from sally leading to an ending that has you on the tip of your seat for the finale - exactly what they need to achieve.

They are being creative with how they combine scenes. I was impressed with the Cerebus scenes

annabeth was READY to fight this episode shes waiting for her moment

SPOILERS ok i loved this episode but holy there’s a lot to fit in to next weeks. i have 0 clue how they’re gonna fit in them, returning the helm, getting Percy’s mom, flying back to Olympus, talking to Poseidon and then going back to camp and finding out about Luke. but i’m so ready for it:) edit: I f***ing hate book purists I think they are dumb and don’t understand how shows work. I think that this show is doing an excellent job at getting the story across while adding some awesome plot points that we didn’t get in the book.

This was a fantastic episode, great Hades. I cant wait to see this Hades someday interact with Nico.

I really enjoyed this episode!!! Love the changes they made, even though it's different from the books it still makes sense and of course SUPER excited for the finale next week :))))) edit: also I know people are upset bc Percy knows who all of these mythical people are but like...he's not stupid. All of them have read these myths before because they've had to, so to me it makes sense that they would be able to tell that Aunty Em is Medusa and stuff. And even if he didn't know who Crusty was, Annabeth definitely would, and would let Percy know who he's facing

I really love this episode ❤️. Someone on tiktok complained about the flashbacks but to be honest, for me personally, the flashbacks are fitting to the storyline. It showed us more of what Percy might be feeling with his mom basically putting him in boarding school and then we see how it pains Sally that she’s hurting her son like this because she needs to protect him. It showed that both Sally and Poseidon are struggling with Percy. They both don’t want to hurt him like this. Poseidon wants to talk to him, to be near him but he can’t because of the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. Sally wants to ease Percy’s troubles and just tell him the truth about everything because she knows how hurt he is with what she’s doing to him. Poseidon comforting Sally and giving her advice, even acknowledging that Sally is doing an amazing job as Percy’s mom, was really comforting. Sally needed that. Percy’s life is in danger and she needed the encouragement that she’s doing the best thing for Percy. Annabeth was right. Sally was preparing Percy all along, so when he got to them, he’ll be different than all of the common problems with the gods and the creatures and being a demigod. And Sally did. She had prepared Percy. He’s just navigating everything now on his own and learning more and understanding more but he’s still the Percy that she took care of. Someone who sees both right and wrong, and has a heart of gold. Who wears his heart on his sleeves. Percy is different. And that’s what makes him amazing. Sally did an amazing job.

The last episode had better be 50 minutes long because hooww are they going to fit everything in? This episode was PEAK. Definitely in the top 3 for me so far. Sally gets me emotional every time and I'm superbly happy about the development for the relationships between Sally, Percy and Poseidon.

I was again surprised by the hades and poseidon actors performances. I liked it

I really like the conversation between Poseidon and Sally. Poseidon knowing without her saying it that she doesn't want Percy at camp. Him realizing that she needs a person to talk to, and being there, focusing just on what she has to say and helping her figure things out. And her just being able to open up and confide in him, knowing that he is there for her right now and listens. That in this moment, she can talk to someone about the monsters she knows are there, but has to deny in front of everyone else.

The Poseidon speech at the end was strong. That fight scene will be epic next episode…. Hopefully.

I like Sally (props to Virginia Kull's acting) a lot in this show. That scene in the cafe, when Percy thinks she wants to get rid of him, almost made me tear up.

I think the changes have been fun for book readers who know the story so well

I have so much (good) to say about this episode but all I wanna say rn is yes, isn't walker's acting just so good? i believe every word, every emotion, hes so good.

grover was picking at his horns before they went in the underworld bc he was nervous 😢

It’s so nice to see people excited and enjoying the show and even the changes being made and added because so many people are being so negative and it makes me sad because the cast and crew and Rick have done an amazing job so far! If you don’t like the show of course that’s fine! But there seems to be a lot of people watching it just to complain so it’s nice to see a community of people discussing the changes and what they liked!

I *loved* that we got that flashback between Sally and Poseidon.

I don’t know if you noticed or not but Percy is wearing Annabeth’s necklace when he goes to Olympus and I’m not ready emotionally for what next week’s episode will do, Poseidon’s voiceover at the end gave me chills

Even I would’ve loved for the Procrustes part to be longer/more accurate they definitely did it so that they could spend more of the episode with the main conflict/big moment of going to the underworld and all that drama. If they had included all of the Crusty stuff it might cut time away from the underworld scenew

Julian Richings (Crusty) was the ferryman in the Percy Jackson movie. He was also Death in Supernatural!!

I know the show isn’t perfect but it’s so good. And I think a lot of peoples complaining had to do with budget and episode length more than any other favors and that’s not in the creators. Of course it’s not perfect

The budget for the next season has to be largely increased, if they have to show things like Sirens, Scylla, Charybdis, Cyclops, Lestrygonians and of course the heroes in the boat all the time and sea setting. It would be a challenge, judging from what we already saw in S1.

I loved u saying interesting over and over again It reminded me of Kronos witnessing Percabeth😂

not entirely sure how i feel about crustys being merged into DOA records and the scene being cut a lot but if they didn’t have the time to do all of that i can see why 😭

While I personally prefer the chapters it is based on rather than the episode, I feel that the changes that were made are better for the middle school aged audience this show is designed for.

The beginning had me nervous..bc the jump straight into knowing Procrustus was like whaaaa noo! but the rest of the ep??? MASTERPEICE

Sally is just so amazing, virginia is killing it she's so good

Walker is an amazing actor. His facial expressions are amazing, they portray exactly what he’s thinking and feeling. Just brilliant

I feel Percy knowing who a lot of the villains are makes sense. In a book, it's important to have a main character that learns things alongside the reader as you spend time inside the head of the main character with their thoughts and so it's more engaging if you are both new to the crux of the story. In a tv show this can lead to characters looking slow witted, especially after the first few times. The pace also needs to be picked up a tad to fit everything in to 8 episodes whereas a book can be as long as it needs to be.

IM ACTUALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SEREIS!!AND EVERYONE IN IT !!IM SO EXITED FOR THE LAST EPISODE AND THE REST OF THE SEASONS❤❤❤

Excited to be so early. Another great episode. It's been really fun to watch these with you. You're a great reactor and I am glad to get the benefit of your Percy Jackson expertise.

Congratulation Hades 🎉🎉 finally something in the media did you justice! Enough with the villanous crap

When Poseidon said "tell me why", I just thought of that line up from Brooklyn Nine Nine, don't ask me why.

If Hades had offered me sanctuary, I would have taken it to be honest!

Fun fact: Toby Stephens (Poseidon) is Maggie Smith's (McGonagall) son. 😊😂 just wanted to put it out there

My favourite time of the day!!! Been waiting for this one! I love this episode

actually was waiting for your reaction!!!! can’t wait to watch this video!

Tell me your favorite part of the episode!! If you're wondering why the audio sounds different at different points of the video, its mostly because of copy right reasons!! I'm wondering... Would you guys be interested in me posting my FULL reactions on Patreon so you guys can watch the entire show with me?? Let me know if that's something y'all would be into!

this ep got me in rollercoasters

I'm going to watch the last episode eating macaroni and cheese and blue candys. i´m very anxious for that episode

The end of the chapter was incredible. Poseidon talking about Percy while Ares appears... omg, just epic. I can´t wait for next week

I am morning the loss of DOA recording studio because of how funny it is but thats another location that we didn't have time for. If it was a choice between Crusty and that I am glad we got Crusty because we still get to see Charon. ALSO I love the actor playing him. You're right he was also in the movie. I don't feel like googling to make sure but I am 99% that he was Hades. He was also Death in Supernatural. Edit: NO WAIT HE WAS CHARON! Thats even better but tbh I wouldn't be suprised if he played Hades in something else. He is just the best actor for creepy stuff

Great episode! The kingdom of hell is beautiful! Hades and Poseidon were characterized well as characters! I'm liking all the gods introduced in the series!

This was definitely my favorite episode so far

My question is did Annabeth and Ares stand the whole time one the beach waiting for Percy and Grover to show up.

I really like how the underworld looks and it’s more like the book and myths where there’s different places to the underworld. Also posidens monlouge literal chills and nice touch is when he enters the room rain and thunder is heard as well.

The Cerberus chase was so scaary I was literally tremblinggg

If you didn't know, the music that we are hearing at the Crusty's entrance is the France National Anthem (yes, I was born in France 😅) I don't know why they've chosen this music btw 😂

Many scene that different from original novel, Like where is my funny security in Italian suit charon, and my cool and more angry Hades (at least i love how the actor make Hades look more charismatic is his kingdom, like a king always be) But other scene good, I like how they show interaction of Sally and Poseidon, also the scene of cute three-head puppy that chasing the red ball 😂😂 not accurate but still funny

When I started PJO as a reader, I was Percy's age and relating to him. As a mother now, I cry every time Sally cries because I can almost feel it myself. I find myself relating as a mother just trying to figure it all out

this ep was the strongest episode, i was sobbing

Idk who else noticed it but at 15:04, when sally asks Poseidon to talk to percy, theres a thunder in the background, kinda like Zeus warning him not to do it. Idk if its intentional or i am looking too much into it.

No one pointing out how genius Annabeth is when dealing with Cerberus. Also is figuring out all these mythical people coz hes hanging out with one of the smartest people alive

8:02 literally! These kids are doing so awesome💅👏🏼I'm really impressed

I didn't know what the deal was with the match in the ice cream but you made me realize

ive been waiting for this.

The short moments where they did the "show, not tell" were the key moments of this series, most of them are not from the books and are closer looks at details that have been missed in the books.

I thought this was a great episode. A lot of other book readers are seriously starting to annoy me, and I can tell they’re annoying you lol. It’s totally fine to have criticisms ofc- I know the show isn’t perfect- but it seems like they are only mad because it’s different. Like, Hermes left them with a detailed note about going into the underworld, of course he’s going to warn them about Crusty. The guy knows everything. Anyway, always love your reactions. Regardless of a few flaws, I adore this show, and I think they’ve captured something really special here. I will be soooo sad if it doesn’t get renewed.

Poseidon would have talked to percy, but the thunder was Zeus warning him.

I spent half of this thinking you were the actress that plays percy's mom😂

Next we get that fight with Ares, the conclusion of the quest, HOPEFULLY Sally disposing of Smelly Gabe and Percy's confrontation with the true Lightning Thief. All of the clues are there already to the Thief's true identity.

I love how Hades is so calm at first, but when he hears Kronos is involved, his tone changes, his air of confidence is starting to break, I’m watching it and I’m like, Hades is seriously scared. He was okay with not getting the bolt, but when having the bombshell of his father being dropped, he is just trying to barely keep it together. It really makes you feel that this is a BIG deal if Hades is scared. I read the books and I’m loving how this series is adapting them. It’s close enough that book readers will like seeing some of their favorite parts, but distinct enough that it is its own thing without reinventing the wheel.

He is gonna be there where he belongs... Annabeth shows up... He belongs with her❤❤❤❤❤

I honestly feel a bit torn about the kids knowing stuff. On the one hand it makes complete sense for them to know the lore since they’ve been taught them since they were younger. On the other hand i still just wanna see certain scenes acted out and brought to life. Like i wanna see them play the games at the casino. I want to see them on the water beds stretched. I understand though so i won’t hate on it like a lot of people seem to be doing

I don’t mind the changes from the book. If anything the episodes offer an expansion from the book. Plus, Rick Riordan I believe has creative control, so you know any changes wouldn’t come without his say so. Riordan once said in an interview that his greatest struggle as a writer is after finishing a book and time passes there are moments where he wishes he could’ve gone back in time and added some things or changed some things. I was really impressed by Sally Jackson’s portrayal as a mortal living in a world of god and monsters while raising a demigod son and the portrayal of the Underworld! ❤❤

The problem with the show is time and budget. The acting is so good. And the changes aren't bad. Some are really good. They just don't have sufficient time for doing justice to some things. I really really love the trio actors. I hope they increase the time and budget in the next season so the trio gets to do their best.

You kind of look like a younger Sally Jackson!

Don't know if Cam will see this, but a fun little fact about the show that I just learned today is that Toby Stephens (the guy who plays Poseidon) is actually the son of Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter)

yeah Procrustes is played by the actor who played Charon in the movie

14:20 sally is straight up giving bars

The problem I have with the Crusty’s opening is how random it is, it’s very jarring if you haven’t read the book and Percy immediately knowing who he is and saying it straight away feels like he’s jumping the gun since Crusty is a mortal enough name and we don’t see any indication before as to why they would be there. How did they know the entrence would be there anyway? It’s just a bit too out if the blue and could have used a bit more lead up so that the audience doesn’t have to infer so much, I wish they polished a bit more so that it made a bit more sense

Honeslty, I think people are used to origin stories where the main character is thrust into a world they know nothing about and despite being special/"the chosen one" they still have to bumble their way through. The Percy Jackson Tv show isn't that. Annabeth has been at camp training for a quest for years ( I think 5, right?) and Grover's job is to be a Protector. Even with Percy, he didn't know he was a demigod but his mother knew and told him stories about Olympus. Personally, I think trio using their knowledge/common sense throughout the quest is an improvement from the books.

I'm a little hesitant on the changes to hades but otherwise I liked it for the most part

Sally and Poseidon. I die.

By far my favorite episode with episode 5, on the other hand I am disgusted to know that there is only 1 episode left is way too short. I hope that for the next seasons, that they will do 40-minute episodes in 20 episodes minimum, that would be the best. Have you watched the trailer of Avatar: The Last Airbender which will be released on February 22nd, I can't wait

This episode started out a bit slow for me but I really loved the second half of it. I'm really looking forward to the finale but am a bit concerned because I feel like there's a lot that needs to happen in that episode for the length of it.

crusty was in the movie!!! he was the ferry man

Why is everyone so confused by the "cut of your jib" line? It's not that obscure of a phrase.

Procrustes was Charon in the movie!!

i feel like you look a lot like sally jackson haha 🫶

Sally jackson cosplay when?

Cam the GOAT 😅❤👍🏿

My only complain up to this point is how Gabe was written ..but I understand the reason for toning it down. I admit that the amount of times Percy said 'I know' is a little off putting as a book reader.. hahaha... One of the things I like about him is that even when he has no idea what was happening he always comes up with either clever or stupid ideas to execute Annabeth's plan.I am however constantly impressed by Walker, he still feels like Percy even with all the changes they make at least for me. I still enjoy this episode though...and the show as a whole. Can't wait for the finale.

We so back!!! I think episode 6 was kinda a let down. This episode was fire!!!!. This Season is going out with a bang

You kind of look like Sally Jackson 😅

I have a shitty mom. I wish I had Sally Jackson as my mom 😂

This might be weird but you look like you could play a younger sally, or a younger teen sally ❤

The one thing i dont like about this show is how there is no surprise for the audience. I know it makes sense that the characters would know about this but it also makes it kinda boring because there are no shocking reveals for places 😒

This is a good ep! my only complaint is that (again) they cut the action scene short, the scene with crusty tho i wish its longer and the scene where they enter a place where charon just stands there bored with so many dead ppl who can’t get in to the underworld i kinda wanted to see that but never mind. Oh and i wish hades was more scary tho 😂 and like not just stand there watching them gone with the pearls i kinda wish he would go angry at some point that would be cool lol. And i thought they would address that the furries were sent to catch them on hades’s order because he thought his helmet was with them. The sally and poseidon talks my favourite scene.

You kind of favour sally

I personally really liked this episode. It's probably my 2nd or 3rd favourite episode of the season. That Sally and Poseidon scene was everything!

I was really enjoying this show, some hiccups here and there, but I have to admit…I’m actually really disappointed with this episode. 😢 they really fumbled one of the crucial events in my opinion. They rushed to Percy finding the bolt in his bag and they rushed to him figuring out it was Kronos. I’d much rather see Percy trick Procrustes or Charon to see how smart Percy is rather than have him figure out major plot points in seemingly seconds

Procrustes is the worst big brother ever, lol

Oh man… what did they do to Hades… disappointed

Poseidon is kind of hot
