i am elated and overjoyed and so jazzed abt this tv show, do not get me wrong
that said: i am NOT enjoying this portrayal of sally jackson
#pjo tv adaptation#spoilers in tags#no shade to the actress!! the actress is great!!! a couple of the scenes with percy made me tear up!!!!!!#but....ugh i don't know#it's. hm.#it's making her the kind of whimsical to just like. sit in the rain on a fire escape and listen to olivia rodrigo(???)#instead of meeting her still in her work uniform#tired & exhausted but still ready to sit on the bed w percy#and ask him abt everything EXCEPT getting expelled#it's the way she talks to grover#when the book literally says that percy has NEVER heard her be stern before that moment#(also that she just like. argues back w gabe? the toning down of gabe is. hmmmmm. i think its doing her a disservice)#the fact that she doesn't get to say that she didn't want percy to go to camp half-blood?#& like. book sally has a core of steel that i feel like we just. haven't seen?#they made her argumentative but that's kinda the opposite?#also her conversation abt why she named percy perseus....#i LOVE that SHE thinks that but i hate that she says it to percy yknow???#at least in THAT moment#also. FASCINATED by the choice not to have the car get struck by lightning like. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm#also there's other things here in that like#i feel like they WAY toned down the class stuff w/ percy?#ugh now i'm just getting into other critiques. whatever#but i think those are the adaptational choices that are impacting her too!!#& casting just like. generic white woman#okay. no shade BUT#percy has always been latino to me so like.#generic white woman sally jackson is NOT doing it for me#i keep looking & her & saying who is that#& walker i can buy more bc the emotional resonances he's hitting more for me?#but sally is TRULY not the vibe
