love my trio

lance reddick was perfect; may the true titan of acting rest in peace

toby stephens is brilliant casting as poseidon with walker scobell as percy

i think episodes one, two, four, five, and eight were the best and they are why i cannot wait for season two! episode eight in particular! i hope they keep *that* energy going forward and don't feel like they can't embrace the comedy in moments of sea of monsters!

god i'd truly know nirvana if i could be in the room for one of the five PJO seasons

#they struggle with generic monster attacks #it doesn't seem like it matches the showrunner's vision or the disney mandates or something idk #because the “living under constant threat of imminent death” gets dialed way back in the show in favor of obstacles that can be overcome #which isn't to say the books don't suffer from that #i.e. the sphinx in BoL #but i think in SoM the stakes become more personal #you get percy and annabeth bonding over their mutual fear for grover's safety #compounded with the gap between them in relation to how thalia's poisoning affects them both #plus you've got percy and tyson and percy grappling with more dimensions to his complicated feelings towards poseidon #and also the beginning of percy vs luke in both percy's mind AND annabeth's mind #it's an important one!#also grover in a wedding dress. aryan will be so good and shine so brightly in the next season #i'm looking forward to the Big Acting scenes they'll probably give him since he'll be removed from the main focus of the show for so long #then again the pretty much handled that decently in this season too
