The reasoning for the four pearls in this show, is because he already knows his mom is alive that’s why he agreed to go in the first place

[@Luke101]

Which is yet another example of this show stripping the story of any of its suspense or surprises

[@jbonceu2457]

It was pretty obvious his mom is alive, didn't grover said that Hades reached out and grabbed her from her death?

[@chickenwing3946]

@@Luke101Wasn’t a big twist in the books, honestly. His mom technically being alive didn’t change a thing, saving his mother was always his plan, which is why it was weird that he he didn’t realize the pearls wouldnt be enough. The show implemented it better than the book.

[@roguevirgo902]

@@Luke101it was only suspenseful in the book because we were young and didn’t connect only having 3 pearls and having to save 4 people wouldn’t work. The show was better

[@hikari9262]

​@@Luke101If you are a book reader, you were indeed surprised why it was 4. But then it's still not done, wouldn't it surprise you if they lose 1 pearl in the underworld?

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I like Percy's interactions with Hermes. Those 2 have always had an interesting relationship with each other in the books.

[@GalaxyGeeks]

I love it! can tell there will be alot there

[@heyitsmira17]

There was a poll on a telegram group I'm in abt what we were looking forward to the most in this week's episode. My answer was Hermes. He wasn't in the first book, but his appearances throughout the story are always so important and interesting that I was wondering what we'd get so early on, and I'm not disappointed.

[@BrinkofMattness]

Personally I liked this episode how it explained how the lotus flower works now as opposed to the legend. Also like how they used Hermes cab to get to Santa Monica because in my mind it makes more sense then a random taxi driver speeding down the highway with a fugitive in the backseat. Also liked that they added the scene with the water spirit and how we know that technically Percy is already too late. I agree that perhaps this was the weakest episode but definitely still a solid episode.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I wonder what the secret entrance is gonna be??? In the book they just went in through the Underworld's main entrance with a lame excuse for Charon and a bribe. There WAS a secret entrance in the books, the Door of Orpheus, but that was in Central Park in Manhattan. Percy and Nico di Angelo (who can be heard calling for his sister Bianca about 12 and a half minutes into the episode while Grover and Augustus are talking about Pan) used it in The Last Olympian and Nico and his boyfriend Will Solace used it in The Sun and the Star. There's never been any mention of another one anywhere, just the main entrance in LA.

[@Dingeroonie]

@@WarGrowlmon18 that’s crazy that you heard that I was looking for them but didn’t see anything. There’s entrances in the maze too just didn’t find or use them. But Rick said he’s correcting errors from the book as well

[@GalaxyGeeks]

I agree completely!

[@TinyUva]

When I heard a little boy's voice yelling, "BIANCA! BIANCA!" OH MY GOD I WENT FERAL, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY-

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Some people are saying that his name's on one of the boards in the arcade too, but I can't see that.

[@GalaxyGeeks]

Thats so amazing!

[@cairothetiefling_]

Some people have been saying that, like Grover's actor said in an interview, you can hear important names being thrown around in the background while in the Casino. Like when Grover is talking to Augustus, and when Percy and Annabeth find grover, if you listen closely you can hear a little voice yell "BIANCA!" Some people say they hear another voice yell "Nico!" But personally, I can only hear 'Bianca.'

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Same here.

[@wise_girl_forever]

i love this! i love to see your reactions because yall compare it to the book. i read the book a while ago so I don't remember much but when yall bring it up it jogs my memory. i love yall and I hope to see the next two episodes be longer! (also love the actors)

[@GalaxyGeeks]

Thank you so much! really love your comment:)

[@WarGrowlmon18]

In the books, those dreams took place on the edge of Tartarus instead and Kronos was just a voice speaking to the thief from the Pit rather than a guy in an office.

[@GalaxyGeeks]

Oh yeah that makes sense

[@schorlemorle3565]

I am very dissapointed with this episode, in the books the casino seemed to be this dreamlike place where you literally forget everything around you. In the show however the Casino looked pretty bland and honestly boring. They also don't even really do anything but walking around and them knowing about the flowers beforehand takes away the tension and the moment of realisation when they realise what's going on around them. I had very high hopes for this episode, because the casino was my favourite part of the first book but in my Opinion they didn't succeed in conveying the feeling I had in the books on the screen. Even the movies did a way better job at this in my opinion.

[@GalaxyGeeks]

I agree, but i this it was due to they wanted to save some money so they can really put the money towards hades domain which is looking good

[@Fenvalur3]

@@GalaxyGeeks this show has more money per episode than game of thrones though and you get at most 4 or 5 locations per episode here. They can do so much more.

[@Dingeroonie]

The episodes are so short I think it hurts the show a lot, maybe it’s expensive but this is Disney you know they could do so much more. By the time they get to the casino the episodes already halfway over

[@GalaxyGeeks]

True, disney does this with all of their shows, they lean towards shorter episodes, which is frustrating

[@heyitsmira17]

I honestly hope they take the #1 criticism of the show seriously in future seasons and give us more runtime. Clearly we're interested, we want more!

[@charlottemarks8881]

Three words: child labor laws. That's a big reason why the movies aged up the principal actors. Three literal children are in every scene, and they're restricted on how many hours they can work each day. On top of that, they're often in dangerous scenes. Scobell literally shot that final scene underwater - it's not a green screen. As the actors age, their working days will lengthen, and they'll be able to shoot more footage.

[@Jaxnz1389]

NICO IS HERE!!!!! (Edit: If you look at 12:30, in the show you can hear a kid yelling “Bianca!” And at 12:44 you can see a dark-haired kid with a jacket)

[@williamholtzclaw3029]

I can't wait to see what clarisse has to say to them accusing her of stealing the bolt

[@GalaxyGeeks]

@@GalaxyGeeks awesome

[@HannahBanana126]

Episodes 5 and 6 gave us some good stuff! Percy stared at Annabeth in awe for her smart thinking, got a Seaweeb Brain last episode, and now we got a Seaweed Brain AND Wise Girl the next, heard Nico yell for Bianca, which hurt a lot, Percy and Annabeth being called "an old married couple"! The post credit scene where Annabeth hangs off reminds you of a certain scene in the book! We are getting there! They already have the future seasons in the bag!❤

[@kgvalkenna]

I liked this episode and personally trying to remind myself that Riordan is doing his best to set up the series and how somethings might be better to drop now to connect with characters now versus later for as you said development. They can grow and change through the series aka Luke history now to connect you more. I also liked someone’s theory about having four pearls but they’ll lose one on the way to the underworld for future tension, so we still get the underworld choice. If the series is ten episodes I can see the next episode being finding the entrance and then the underworld and the finale will be a two part maybe?

[@heyitsmira17]

It's 8 episodes only, we have the underworld, ares and the conclusion, 2 episodes ahead of us

[@nycot107]

1) I think Hermes did want to help them, but because he was warned not to he had to find another way to help them 2) Annabeth picking his pocket is not something Hermes would just miss. He's the God of Tricks and Thievery, even Annabeth said she couldn't believe she managed to steal from him. Also, the letter proves he knew they would get his key. 3) Hermes must be totally fine with kids driving his car XD 4) Percy's road rage is hilarious 5) I'm waiting for Annabeth to start being a backseat driver Also, Hermes is probably the most understanding of the Gods they've come across so far, he understands that he messed up and he's also the first to admit - as a god - that the gods don't like to admit when they can be wrong or make mistakes.

[@pipercharms7374]

12:54 I am just guessing but I think he might lose one of the pearls

[@GalaxyGeeks]

hmm possibly

[@darkhorse4122]

Seeing anabeths face when luke was talking makes me wonder if she was confused by how he reacted

[@Pluto-c4q]

Good episode. Love the character dynamic

[@marcoguaiana6264]

Nice episode! Cronus must be the man Percy sees in his dream, because Cronus was dethroned and locked up in Tartarus by his sons. It makes sense that Kronos would want revenge by starting a war between Poseidon and Zeus. I really liked Hermes, excellent actor who plays the Greek god. I love all the Olympians introduced in the series. They are all great actors playing deities.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Yeah that's him. In the books, it was more obvious with the dream taking place at the edge of Tartarus and Kronos just being a voice talking to the real Lightning Thief from within.

The only thing I'm actually missing in the show comes down to Annabeth's storyline. In the book she admires Luke so much and has a crush on him. She always defends Luke no matter what. But that doesn't show yet at least.

[@khushir6340]

I don't think they are going that direction in this show... I read it in an interview that the love triangle between the 3 doesn't contribute to the story or something. Plus the episodes have to cut something out...the crush thing gone doesn't bother me at all!

[@unique-q9o]

umm why would you want that ? Especially when we already have a scene of luke calling her his sister … weird

[@tylerkister4628]

This was tied with probably the 3rd episode for the weakest im not a book reader but ive heard of nico D'Angelo(apparently, he is some big character, idk)and did hear him looking for his sister or whatever sorry for not knowing my lore

[@florence_black]

The third was my second favourite so far :D

[@GalaxyGeeks]

haha your ok its a ton of lore haha

[@tylerkister4628]

@steffik1917 not saying it was a bad episode I just feel out of the amazing series this and the third are weaker they were good episodes in their own way but just weaker then the rest

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Yeah, he's a son of Hades. Hades had Alecto put him and his sister in that casino since the 1940s to protect them when Zeus tried to kill them because of the same prophecy that made Poseidon having a kid illegal. Hades is the only Big Three god to not break that vow because all of his kids were born before the vow. He's not released until the third book. Nico's a major character in the book series starting with the third book. The only time that a secret entrance to the Underworld has been used, Nico's been involved in it. And that's the Door of Orpheus in Central Park. Nico used it with Percy in The Last Olympian and then later with Will Solace, the son of Apollo, in The Sun and the Star which came out last year. There's never been mention of a secret entrance on this side of the country, that's unique to the TV show.

[@tylerkister4628]

@WarGrowlmon18 and correct me if I'm wrong will is his boyfriend right I know he had a grudge at someone because he thought he wouldn't be looked at the same or something that's what I was told

[@Luke101]

Worst episode thusfar. Yet another iconic sequence from the book where the suspense is immediately deflated with exposition explaining exactly what the threat is because the characters can never gradually realize anything. They need to know immediately and spoon feed the audience everything with 0 subtlety.

[@moon03726]

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. They didn't play any games like in the books, a scene which was supposed to show us that they were still kids, revealing the threat of the hotel from the beginning just ruined the entire thing. I've been enjoying the show and all the changes so far but this episode was really bad. And, am I the only one who didn't see a zebra in this??

@@moon03726 Exactly. They were exhausted from the quest, they were dirty, and they finally had a chance to just relax and have a little fun. The Casino seemed like the coolest place ever.

[@maddiep4968]

Is it just me but i kind of dislike how much they’re already trying to allude to Percy and annabeths relationship already? It feels so forced…like they were still in the process of warming up to each other in the first book and Luke’s already commenting they “sound like an old married couple”…it just feels way too weird considering it hasn’t even been that long since they’ve met technically

[@florence_black]

I like it as "Luke-as-a-big-brother" kind of moment, because a big brother would tease his "little sister" (Annabeth) about that. It's a more subtle way of getting more information about their relationship, too. Because of Annabeths importance to Luke, I think he wants to know where she stands with Percy.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I mean the two DID bicker like that in canon. It was their version of flirting for a very long time.
