#Percy Jackson episode 6

[sallyjacksonsson]

me, a college student, giggling and kicking my feet because two fictional twelve year olds called each other seaweed brain and wise girl:

[happycatfish]

Percy: you pickpocketed hermes?

Annabeth: im multi-talented

Percy: *in love* ok

[theidlespoon]

percy and annabeth resisting the magical powers of the lotus flower through the Power Of Friendship ™️

[feelingtheaster99]

Grover iconically giving zero fucks about how the freed animals might harm people

[booksandpaperss]

percy struggling more with driving a car out of a parking garage than with fighting monsters and challenging gods was so incredibly real

[cecelovegood]

Annabeth: just don’t eat anything

Grover: wait, why were you looking at me when you said that??? 🤨

[seven-dam-halfbloods]

Spot the difference

[readdontsleep1]

Excuse me but the look on Percy's face while he was looking at Annabeth (then promptly crashed a god's car) will water my crops and heal my wounds for the next fifty years

PJO episode 6 spoilers

I was going to wait until the finale to post my thoughts, but I just can’t wait any longer. I’m disappointed in the writing of the show. They’re telling not showing, and over-explaining and exposition dumping at every opportunity. Take this episode for example- it’s so much more powerful to reveal what happened to Luke’s mom later on (and have us SEE what happened to her) as opposed to Annabeth briefly explaining it now. That reveal adds so much depth to his character, simply telling and not showing just doesn’t do it justice. Especially not when so much of the show has already been explaining via dialogue, AND we hardly even know his character yet! But my main issue with this episode has to be with the Lotus Casino. It’s becoming a common Disney move to refuse to let characters be flawed, and this is a perfect example. The protagonists getting lost and falling prey to the hotel is so much better than having them figure out the danger instantly. They’re kids, and interesting, FLAWED characters. Let them make mistakes!! Removing the element of human error from the story weakens the plot and characters. I mean come on, having them figure out that the flowers make you lose it before even seeing the flowers? LET THEM EXPERIENCE DANGER, and for the love of god please just let them be well rounded characters. I’m hoping that the 4 pearls instead of 3 doesn’t become another example of letting the characters take the easy way out. On top of that, there was just a lot of lazy explanation: The Lotus flowers being pumped into the air (how did they know that? there is no proof of that happening. Again, we haven’t even SEEN said flowers), Hermes’ Taxi (I already forgot what the deal was there, they just speedran that explanation). Anyways, I have lots more thoughts, so you’ll hear from me again when the finale airs, I just had to express my disappointment. Hopefully they’ll surprise me with the last two episodes!

In episode 6 at 12:20 and 12:30 you can faintly hear a kid in the lotus casino yelling "Bianca"

I hear it more clearly at 12:20 but my friend hear it more clearly at 12:30

SEAWEED BRAIN AND WISE GIRL?????????

[happycatfish]

i just know Luke was shaking when percy said they thought they knew who the lightning thief was.

Percy: we know who took the master bolt!

Luke, sweating: what do you mean by that

[grace-likes-things]

Consider this my live tweet of PJO episode 6

I might be crazy and hearing what I want o hear but I thought I heard a little boy yell "bianca? bianca!" !!! At about 12:30.

If I'm insane lmk I still have 20 mins left to watch

[feelingtheaster99]

Oh god Walker Scobell’s lip quiver when Percy’s talking about his dad with Hermes 😭

[booksandpaperss]

okay. I am choosing to give the show the benfit of the doubt for this bc so far their changes have been amazing,and from what i can tell from the preview for ep7 they still do the one has to be sacrificed thing but... I'm a little concerned that percy was given four pearls instead of three. the point of percy getting three pearls is that he was never given the option to save his friends, the quest, and his mother all in one shot. he had to chose, and he made the choice he didnt want because he knew his mother would've wanted him to save thw world before her.

is it possible he will lose a pearl? yes. are they creating a potential interesting dichotomy of percy wanting to finish the quest and having to choose between that and his mother, especially now that the stakes are even higher than they were in the book now? yes. and do I get that this show is essentially rick looking at his story and deciding how he would write it now? also yes.

so I'm not super worried, but... a little bit lol.

Nico???????

And also several people have pointed out hearing a kid shout "Bianca!" at about this point in the episode
