Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 revisit (00:18:44)
It’s time to jump into our revisit of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, starting with–you guessed it–episode 1!
Walker is so young in these episodes!
And Young Percy is masterful in those early scenes (and the later ones, too!).
We’re still impressed with the CGI in this show.
The cabin scene is so emotional–both Walker and Virginia bring their A-Game.
Honestly, this pilot is one of the best we’ve ever seen.
Our first question after jumping into episode 2 is whether we’ll see the Council of Cloven Elders again.
Will we get another montage in season 2 of all the things Percy got better at??
Was Annabeth watching Percy the whole time, or was she following Clarisse instead?
How big are the other symbols going to be when kids start getting claimed?
Clarisse is a textbook bully, and we’re so excited to see her growth in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2.
Grover is smarter than both Chiron and Mr. D, and we’ll be taking no objections to that.
Episode 3 is fantastic for so many reasons, but especially the growth of the trio’s relationship.
Percy earned a lot of Annabeth’s respect when he talked about why he chose her for the quest.
Grover stood up to his friends, and that’s super difficult.
Percy IS impertinent.
Medusa was a standout in this episode–especially her speech about how the gods are the real monsters.
Episode 4 begins with Young Percy in the pool and ends with current-day Percy in the river.
It’s good that Percy got to see that not all mythological creatures are monsters.
Will we see more of the Mist in season 2?
Echidna was super terrifying, actually.
Episode 5 is a standout, for sure.
We get Percy and Annabeth’s first hug, so mark that down.
But the real emotional epicenter of this episode is during the chair scene and Annabeth’s speech to Hephaestus.
Ares is the worst, but we still kind of love him.
“Thank you for the cheeseburgers and the emotional abuse.”
Yeah, they’re not going to shy away from his abusive relationship with Clarisse.
Oh, Leah Jeffries is a PROFESSIONAL.
Will they have a callback to this episode once Aphrodite is introduced?
Episode 6 brings us to the Lotus Hotel and Casino.
We also meet Hermes in this episode, and it’s interesting to see Annabeth’s interactions with him.
We talk about Clarisse a little, too, and how she differs from Annabeth but has her own strengths..
Percy misses out on his dad, unfortunately.
In episode 7, we get the long-awaited mattress shop scene, even if it was pretty brief.
Cerberus is super cute, and Annabeth is so smart!
We don’t always love flashbacks, but they work super well in this show.
How do we feel about Hades’ casting?
The best moment from this episode might just be the diner scene when Poseidon shows up.
Finally, we talk about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 finale.
Percy vs. Ares was awesome, especially that ichor effect.
It’s amazing to see Percy own his abilities and the relationship with his dad.
What did we think of the look of Olympus?
Lance Reddick will always be our Zeus.
Poseidon totally still has the hots for Sally.
We can’t help but notice the lighting for the scene between Luke and Percy at the end.
Grover’s Searcher’s license is a flower!!
We’re so excited for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. It won’t be long now!
