I love that Percy is baffled by everything he learns.

It’s so wonderfully innocent.

Why are the gods horrible to their kids? Why do we play their games? What is happening?

He’s so confused all the time.

I even liked Annabeth’s point, that at least with the gods, there are easy to follow rules. I was almost on bored with that line. Almost.

Because it’s so easy to break the rules and get such an wild out of control reaction.

Take Medusa in the last episode. Does her punishment fit her crime?

Take Annabeth here.

A perceived slight from her daughter and she’s willing to let her be killed?

What? In what world does that make sense to anyone? How does a mother think that’s a way to teach her daughter anything?

Every time I learn or involve myself in Greek history, I like Athena less and less.

I’m watching Xena right now too, I’m almost certain that if she’s shown, I’ll dislike her again.

But right now? Athena? WTF?

Who does that to your prized daughter? How could she fall so far? Does the punishment fit the crime?

Absolutely not.

So apparently, Athena’s wisdom is limited.

Great. Good to know.

On the other hand, I do love the arch. I love Annabeth’s fascination with it and how things made today are temples even if they don’t say temple outside.

Very nice.

The unhinged ‘mother of all monsters’ is so perfectly unhinged, I was giggling with glee while watching her with her little carrying case. So silly and utterly ridiculous and silly how no one else notices the crazy happening, that it’s exactly the vibe from the book.

More vibes like the book is just straight up dunking Percy in whatever body of water we’ve got nearby and hope splashing him works. It doesn’t, but it’s how 12-year-olds might think.

Which – they are here!

Annabeth willing to sacrifice herself, Percy actually doing it.

Then plummeting to his death as he tells you up front with the title.

Very on brand for the two of them.

Got to love it. I know I do.

I loved every single moment of this wacky episode. The sheer chaos does remind me of the book and Xena Warrior Princess, because it doesn’t try to take itself seriously.

And that’s super important.

Because Percy doesn’t take anything seriously either.

Until he does something heroic, stupid, and brave.

Sheesh.

Well now, we all know he’s not dead. There’s more episodes and several books documenting that well, but I’m still looking forward to the rest.
