recurring minor characters not being in s2 of the show does mean that TLO is absolutely doomed now if they ever do get to it, because the weight and impact of characters like Silena and Beckendorf are entirely based on how long they've been around in the books and their longstanding connection to events in the story and particularly Percy (not to mention Beckendorf's importance in SoM specifically but i digress)

HOWEVER. on the bright side: this means they are spared from being in the show for now. so.

#pjo #pjo tv #riordanverse #charles beckendorf #silena beauregard #silena also not showing up until the end if theyre gonna keep her being the spy would also be terrible because like. theres no impact then.#this random character comes out of nowhere and is apparently Clarisse's bff and also the spy for the TA? that's out of left field #UNLESS we have already established Silena as this recurring extremely trusted character. she avoids conflict! she's a daughter of aphrodite #she loves her (eventually) boyfriend and she's so beloved she managed to become best friends with CLARISSE of all people!#AND she's close friends with Annabeth too!#you *need* to set that up as early as possible with her or else her role in the narrative falls completely flat #im kind of wondering if with how much they've been emphasizing Chris this early on they might merge Chris and Silena's characters #im thinking either they're gonna have Chris defect from the army way earlier on (SoM) for the whole ''teams racing'' thing #so its like Clarisse and Luke both racing to try and save Chris from the same situation Percy Annabeth and Tyson are saving Grover from #and that being an earlier version of Clarisse saving Chris from the labyrinth or something #or they combo Chris and Silena and have Chris stick around at CHB after Luke leaves for the TA #since the show already establishes Chris as like Luke's right-hand man in s1 since Chris is basically only shown alongside him #so having Chris stick around at CHB would inherently be suspicious and his dynamic with Luke would indicate he's the spy #and because he's dating Clarisse he can fill in those roles Silena fulfills as Clarisse's Patroclus #which implies he'd probably die to the drakon in TLO for Clarisse's rampage in a moment of redemption but given Chris like.#never shows up post-TLO anyways they would probably figure that's fine #im thinking thoughts
