Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 5 discussion (00:12:30)

  • Right away we know Percy and Annabeth are alive. That's a relief.
  • And how convenient they find themselves in the only sanctuary in the Sea of Monsters!
  • Hylla sighting! Is this our first Heroes of Olympus easter egg?
  • C.C. wants to help them identify their fatal flaws so they can survive the sirens. How noble.
  • Stavros, our little jet skiing anachronism, does not fair too well.
  • We may not have seen Stavros' demise, but hearing it was pretty gnarly.
  • Clarisse wakes up on the beach. Lucky lady can see the golden fleece, though, so... quest still on!
  • But then she gets caught in Polyphemus' trap. Quest paused.
  • I really hope they find ways to weave the consensus song into every season. It makes Kristen smile.
  • She tells Grover that Percy and Annabeth are dead, but thanks to that empathy link, Grover is sure she's wrong.
  • All he had was hope, but now he has Clarisse and some rope!
  • Back to C.C.'s: Percy and Annabeth look ADORABLE. They don't agree.
  • C.C. wants to help them find their fatal flaws with her very own Mirror of Swalflataf (if you know, you know)/li>
  • Annabeth takes the opportunity to try and learn something about C.C.
  • We have a super swoon moment when Percy goes full book boyfriend. Even if we are trying to temper our little shipper hearts because they are not supposed to be at the crush stage yet.
  • Percy believes he is a danger to the quest, so he decides to stay at C.C's.
  • Back to the island: Clarisse is trying to shimmy up a rope to escape the cave, but the sensitive, sassy Cuban Oak can only take so much.
  • Polyphemus returns, but this time Grover forgets to lower his veil... not good.
  • Back on C.C.'s island: Percy has a very enlightening chat with Zadie.
  • Percy confronts C.C. to transformative results.
  • Is that a pen cup full of souvenirs, or did C.C. just think Percy's pen would be happy there?
  • Percy doesn't let a little thing like being a guinea pig keep him from trying to formulate a plan.
  • Describing Ares as merciful is a dead giveaway. Whatever you say, fakeGrover.
  • This Polyphemus is waaaaaay scarier than the book.
  • We appreciate the consistency with representing all cyclopses the same.
  • Annabeth has a plan. But she also knows how to freestyle like the best of them.
  • Multivitamins to the rescue!
  • Percy and Annabeth set sail, but only one gets the wax. The other gets roped.
  • Aaaand just kidding. C.C. takes back her wax.
  • Annabeth's vision is detailed, but she has a plan.
  • ATHENA SIGHTING!
  • It's a double cross! It was the sirens the whole time!
  • Percy saves the day.
  • Next time: Tyson sighting, Kronos in season 1 form, and its time to battle Polyphemus.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:34:34)

  • A bit of a surprise: This week's guest is Glynn Turman, aka, Chiron!
  • The Andrew counter lives.
  • Glynn is Chiron: Both run camps, both help campers learn new skills, both have lost campers.
  • Chiron's horse half is the same horse that plays Blackjack and has shown up in the background, too.
  • There is a Grover horn arc already plotted for five seasons. This detail has us absolutely fangirling. They're going to curl by season 5!
  • Next guests: Zoe Neary (Producer) and Jules O’Loughlin (Director of Photography)
  • The sirens were played by stuntwomen using windsurfing rigs. **chef's kiss**
  • Realism at work: They gave costume department samples of the rock to match, they used real seaweed from the marina, and there was a crab wrangler on set!
  • One guinea pig is given the high ground. And different foods give them different eyelines. So much to learn about guinea pig acting.
  • Rosemarie Dewitt killed it as C.C.
  • Dior and Charlie shadowed producers to learn more about that part of the filmmaking process.
  • Getting away from the Volume stage this year.
  • Practical sets help them to lean into the weather and natural enviroments around them.
  • The sound department is not a fan of fidget spinners. Oops.
