TL;DR – We get to the pointy end of the season as characters clash together as the gods manipulate from the side-lines.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review –

We are getting to the final stretch of the season as we enter the penultimate episode, and it is time for all the storylines to start colliding together. It’s a precarious moment, we haven’t even upset a god yet, and time is already ticking on the finale.

So, to set the scene, it is a kind of good news/bad news situation. The good news is that they know where the Fleece is, and they have escaped the clutches of the Cyclops, oh, and Tyson (Daniel Diemer) is still alive. The bad news is that Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) had to watch Percy (Walker Scobell) give the Fleece to their enemy, Luke (Charlie Bushnell), and he also stole a wounded Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) with him. Now the Golden Fleece is resting on the tomb of Kronos (Nick Boraine), and soon he will be resurrected from Tartarus to wreak havoc on the world. Now, from here, we will be looking at the episode as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.

TL;DR – Some staging issues aside, I am glad to see that Percy Jackson stuck the landing as it brought season 1 to a close.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review –

Well, we have come to the end of the first and hopefully not the last season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and what a season it has been. But the critical question we must always ask in the final episode of a season-long story is: Did they stick the landing? Which is slightly more difficult with the God of the Skies is your enemy. 

So to set the scene, at the end of We Find Out The Truth, Sort Of  Percy (Walker Scobell) had a revelation about the whole situation and the oncoming war. For you see, there is someone even more ancient than the Greek Gods stirring, and Kronos (Nick Boraine) is not at all happy with the Gods that defeated him, cut him into tiny pieces, and threw him into Tartarus. I mean, fair point. However, before Percy has time to tell anyone about it or possibly return the Master bolt to Zeus (Lance Reddick), he, Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) are confronted by an angry Aries (Adam Copeland) out for blood. We will be looking at the episode and season as a whole from here, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review –

We are getting to the pointy end of the season, and we are about to dive into the penultimate episode of the season. It is the time when you have to stop holding your cards close to your chest and to use the metaphor from We Take a Zebra to Vegas, you have to go all in. Well, I am not sure we quite get that, but maybe something close.  

So, to set the scene, after being given a hint as to where there might be a portal to the underworld, our gang of Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) just have to get by Procrustes or as he likes to be known Crusty (Julian Richings), kin he may be to Percy, but danger is his game. But no matter what your obstacles are, walking into the underworld is no mean feat. We will be looking at the episode as a whole from here, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
