The line!
She said the thing!
Annabeth told him he drools! I love it.
That little tidbit was so amazingly perfect to me.
Even Clarisse trying to dunk his head in the toilet with Annabeth just watching, waiting for something like this to happen.
I love the kid playing Luke.
I love the little moment of Percy talking about his mom after offering his blue food. Le sigh, there’s blue food!
The little pieces the show gets right. So it doesn’t bother me when moments are changed.
Like Grover announcing Percy’s mother is alive in the Underworld.
It only serves to add to the tension of getting things right. Percy not wanting to do something for his father because his dad has only claimed him to get him to help is pretty on brand. I’d be outraged to think, after all this time, you want something from me?
Percy opting to undertake the quest because there’s a chance he may get his mom back? Sign him up.
Loved it.
Loved the crazy archery lessons. Thank you for including that he is absolutely awful with a bow and an arrow. Terrible. I was laughing so hard when the others were like, no, no more please.
Thanks, one near death was enough.
Percy wanting to know if a Greek God of disappointment was looking for any kids. Very Percy of him.
However, circling back to something I already mentioned – I love the kid playing Luke.
Because – honestly – if I hadn’t read the book, I wouldn’t suspect him at all.
He’s too kind, too wholesome, and sweet to seem there’s more lurking beneath the surface. It’ll be perfect and no surprise why in the end, he’s fooled so many people.
He’s got the charm mentioned in the book down. The good guy part.
Helping Percy, protecting him. Helping him through this new situation while keeping him positive.
I wouldn’t guess he’s part of the problem.
Except, I’ve read the books. Luke is central to the problem.
Overall, the kid playing him is amazing at masking the ulterior motives. I love it so much.
I love the guy playing Mr. D. Who is as terrible as I want him to be. Only interested in himself, not the camp. Not ever. He’d rather be anywhere else and it shows.
Clarisse is not what I pictured from the novels, but I refuse to see anything else now.
The actresses does a phenomenal job of imposing herself. She seems bigger and scarier then she is. Her entire mission to dunk Percy’s head and give him a hard time was perfectly done.
I can’t wait to see her perform the rest of Clarisse’s story. It’s going to be amazing.
Alright, now down to business.
Capture the Flag.
It’s the favorite part of Camp Half-Blood!
And it’s perfect!
Percy’s bored dancing and being used as bait because Clarisse will never let her ego slide after the bathroom incident. His innocent reminder that maiming isn’t allowed, but she doesn’t mind missing dessert here and there.
Loved it.
Loved Percy fighting back and holding his own while being terrified the entire time.
And – of course – Annabeth watching from the sidelines, just in case. Not that Percy needed it.
Then… Then she shoves him in the lake and all is revealed.
Shocker! He’s Poseidon’s son!
Whoop, didn’t see that coming after he made the water from the toilets attack everyone, leaving him bone dry, and unable to explain. As always, Percy.
Then it’s decided – he’s got to help dear ole dad out of his current pickle.
Yeesh.
Talk about family drama.
I love this show. I love this series. And I cannot wait to see the rest of the book come to life!
