“We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium”

I have always loved mythology, especially Green mythology so the new Percy Jackson series on Disney + has been right up my alley. We got one of my favorite Greek mythology monsters this week… Medusa.

It is a solid episode too as there are some growing pains with the friendship between Percy, Annabelle and Grover. The three of them do not trust each other and they are struggling to get along. 

The Oracle told Percy that someone he called a friend would betray him and would cause his quest to fail. Percy did not know what that was to mean, but he selected Grover and Annabelle because of that. He said he did not think that Annabelle would ever be his friend, which was brutal. 

Walker Scobell is a star in the making. He makes such a charismatic Percy Jackson. He is smooth and feels so real that you can’t help but like him. He has that Ryan Reynolds-like wit about him to as some of his under his breath remarks are very funny.

The trio came out with the truths that they had been keeping from each other and you can see how they changed from the beginning of the episode. 

Plus, we get a slight glimpse at Mt. Olympus… sort of. And it looks really clever.

Percy Jackson has been solid so far and with luck it will keep it up.
