Greg ...Alba & Tara Erickson react to Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2 Episode 6, and this episode brings the quest crashing straight into betrayal and confrontation. Percy and Annabeth race to rescue Clarisse and Grover from the Cyclops, turning the Sea of Monsters into an all-out battle for survival. What starts as a rescue mission quickly escalates into a massive emotional turning point when they come face-to-face with Luke once again — forcing Percy to confront how far his former friend has fallen. The showdown intensifies with Titus entering the conflict, pushing alliances, loyalties, and destinies to their breaking point.

Aw. Somebody's going to save him. What if it's his dad? Isn't he capable of saving himself? Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:01:40 He's surrounded by water where he should be living. Pretty hard to get that visual effect down while being underwater. In the water? I agree. And it looks good. Oh, he's took the breath. I like that. Dad didn't have to tell him.
Starting point is 00:01:55 He just knew. Did he burp? This is his first time. realizing i think so what do you see is it going to be those i can't tell it's a tiara thingy oh the bracelet bracelet that um anemeth through yeah those are some mucky waters that's how it is deep down oh love that lighting on his face right now that's great Cool. I love the vibe in here.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Kind of spooky. That's a nice, locked off moving shot. That's cool. Oh, he's having a nightmare. Oh. That son of a bitch. Subookey.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Ah! Okay. I imagine we want to get to the main baddy Kronos to like season three. Right? We got to, we got to, we're going, we're building. They really got to, they're going to make us wait for it. Guys, it's been raiding in L.A. for like two weeks straight, which is rare, and no lightning. And I'm like, can we get a little entertainment with the rain?
Starting point is 00:03:18 No lightning. You can't wait until tomorrow. We've got to get over in the fleece right now. No. Polyphemus maybe half blind, but he can hear a pin drop. He can smell us coming. You try to get in his cave while he's there, and we're dead. Stick to the plan, Percy.
Starting point is 00:03:31 In your dream, you said there's a hole on top of the cave right under the tree. So we wait till morning, use his sheep to cover our sound and scent. Get up the hill. Steal the fleece and throw the rope down a Grover, I know. If we know the plan, it's not going to go according to plan. Yeah. Did you have another Grover dream? No. No.
Starting point is 00:03:50 It was a nightmare. I thought Kronos was there, but then I saw a different face. Okay, what do you look like? She. That was a she? You can. Can you see the face? What? Oh!
Starting point is 00:04:01 Wait, do we know that face? Does that look like Anabas? Mom? Does it look like Talia to me? Or maybe? It was too quick. Well, then we got dreams a tricky, so. My mom always said that the thing that she liked about dreams is that they never lie.
Starting point is 00:04:17 My mama always said that my dreams are made a box of chocolate. I always tell the truth. Run, Percy, run. Swim. to swim. Get some sleep. We move at dawn. We ride at dawn.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Alone. Oh. That's the cyclops. Yeah. That's the real beauty of my island. Dang, that voice. I know. Epic.
Starting point is 00:04:46 The gift of living. The gravel. Alone. If you had that, your wife would like you better. She might like me at all. Yeah. So you can protect your treasures. A shepherd?
Starting point is 00:04:59 I have made this island a world unto itself, my world. All outsiders are enemies or food. The island's metaphorical because he is an island himself. He's alone. I learned long ago. If you don't trust nobody, then you live. You see. Your mortals can't see that even with all your eyes.
Starting point is 00:05:23 You're someone who likes to be alone? Obviously. You can't seem to shut up. Because no one truly wants to be alone. Being alone is not the same as silence, little demigod. Or loneliness. True. I will add your voices to my collection to keep the conversation stimulating.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Oh. Oh, ew. Gross. From Truff. I learned of things like classic rock and anime. There you are. From Meritus. I love me.
Starting point is 00:05:59 of ships that travel beneath the waves and others that sail the stars. That boys could read me a book anytime. Where'd you learn to use the fleece to Lord Seder's here? Those poor souls. How do you know what would give off the same scent as Pan? Who do you think brought the mighty artifact in the first place? Pan was here?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Why? Why would he do that? That not the intentions of the lost God concern you, little Seder. You know what I think? I think he's worried. Hmm. Hmm Scared that our reinforcements are coming for him True
Starting point is 00:06:33 Oh he's so wise Unlike saitors Demi gods are dangerous Heroes will cross oceans To save their friends And when they do I'll be ready That's why I kept you alive
Starting point is 00:06:49 As bait Bopopo Their voices will join yours in my Collection Nah bra I mean, growers probably have a plan to thwart this in some way. Alright, I'll grab our disguises. I'll watch the cave entrance so we can see him coming.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But once he comes out, we gotta move fast. Oh, little goats. Don't get confused, that's not the golden fleece. Is it Talia? Or? No. Okay. Holly Femis isn't like other cyclops that sees cunning and you're on his territory, which gives him a big edge over. I don't need your advice.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, we're cunning too. And I really don't need your help. Tell him. You just wanted to know if we've got the fleece yet. I'm just wrong about everything. Huh? Uh-uh. Not everything.
Starting point is 00:07:44 What is he? What does he write about? Yeah, I'm like, I was like, can he see her talking? No, he can't. Okay. You can write about Thalia. Oh, yeah, yeah. makes sense. She hated Zeus. I remember that now, but you were wrong to think that she would ever
Starting point is 00:07:58 stand with Krono. She would have wanted change. Not through war. Luke, Kronos has already changed you. You can't even see how much of yourself you've lost. There's a lot of just putting their own objectives in other people's hands instead of... What are you doing? He called me. You wanted to warn us about Polyphemus. Polyphemus is leaving his cave right now. Let's go. Luke's working an angle. You know that, right? Oh, we're dressing up like sheep. Why are you wasting so much time on Annabate Ches? Because they have history. I decide what's important.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And that wasn't about her. That was recon. Oh. Dun, done. I don't think she buys her bullshit, man. I would love to be an actor in this shot. I would think it would be so much fun. Keep float and stay quiet.
Starting point is 00:08:50 He used his dim whittiness to bait them. Yeah, totally. Just be a sheep Yeah, make some sheep noise You're better off Not making any noise I know, right? Just stay quiet, head down Maybe you can't tell
Starting point is 00:09:07 There's no way For Cyclops POV we've gotten Yeah He needs a singular lens Yeah, he needs some glasses I don't know, that smile might have been telling that he could tell. Yeah, I can't tell yet
Starting point is 00:09:19 Oh, he knows exactly where they're at. He's no fool. He's smarter than you know. Don't say his name. Yeah, don't say. Stop. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Grover. What are you doing? Oh, he's trying to tell him. Clarice's alive. She's down there with him. I would follow Clarice's in six on those ones. Because she's going to find a way out of this.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Oh, no. That's too much noise, though. Yeah, yeah, get that glass. Come on now. Heck, yeah. I love that, smart. Love that. I didn't see that one coming.
Starting point is 00:10:10 That's going to take like three days. I'd be so scared about cutting myself. We barely have enough time to get Grover. And now we've got to bring up two people before he returns to the cave. I can always leave Clarice. And if that's good at Ropes. It's one of her skills. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:10:35 He'll be back any minute. Let's get them out. Get the fleece and then get out of here. I don't think it's going to be that easy. I would grab the fleece first. Yeah. Oh. What?
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh, that's his juice from his thingy. Percy! Come around. Put it together. Parsi. He's got a great upper body strength. Oh, no. The truck!
Starting point is 00:11:18 He set you off. He's placed the fake. That's why they should have got the fleece first. Oh, nice, nice. You'll be trapped in here with us. Oh, good. If I was Percy, I'd bring a bottle of water. Everywhere I went.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Oh, no. Catch him. Nice. Clarice. Ha, ha, ha. The only way out now is through me just as I plan. Yeah, if you, like, slammed a rock against his head or... Yeah, something.
Starting point is 00:11:57 If you kicked him down. Guess your eyesight is worse than they say. Reveal yourself. Throw some dirt in his eye. And I will make sure to kill you quick. Not today, buddy. Nobody sent me. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Do you remember him? Uh-oh. I would steal his knife and just gut him. How embarrassing it must have been to have audition. He has tricked you into thinking his name was nobody. Then jabbing you in the eye with a spear. That was just so rude. That she must be having him strike specific points or something.
Starting point is 00:12:36 He's wearing a real cute outfit for this fight. He's rich, isn't he? Yeah. He has character background, a little rich. Always be looking good. Oh, my God. That's great. If he just gets closer to the cliff,
Starting point is 00:12:50 He can just boop. He's going to grab the wrong fleece, though. Yeah, true. He's got to be able to tell it's a fake, though, right? Oh, that's beautiful. Oh, you know, you can feel it. The goats Oh, I think this is going to lead to an unlikely alliance
Starting point is 00:13:37 The golden fleece Yeah, we need to hustle, y'all We don't have time to talk about this Uh, no. Uh-huh. Oh yeah, well, first you got your sword, because you could actually do some damage. The fleece is mine.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Oh! Oh, uh... Oh, dang, one hit got her. Wow. Oh, there's still a little crack. Try that. Get away from her. Tyson.
Starting point is 00:14:19 There we have it. Tyson Hey brother They're all coming together Step aside little brother Ah the irony He's literally in between He's middle childing this
Starting point is 00:14:35 Totally You're not my brother My brother This side this cave The miss to see how my mom Don on Tom To lost out when they apparel I am no monster
Starting point is 00:14:48 Gotos Tell Percy's not like you. He's a hero. Yeah, it's pretty cool to keep it some Percy's POV. Oh, God, he just... I don't want to hurt him. You hurt me. Oh, nice! Demy, Cyclops and Demigod.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah. Oh, heck yeah! What up, Ty? Yeah, yeah, yeah! Off to cliff! Antibeth! No. This day just started to have to be a real shitty day for Percy.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Don't judge her! Get away from her! Uh-oh. Luke, you better not hurt her! I think he's gonna help her. Oh, okay. She's gonna be like, we can't give it to him, right? You need to give the fleece to Luke. Are you crazy?
Starting point is 00:15:45 It's a little risky. How did you get here? To the islands. What different? difference does that make we don't have time you created a portal right yeah portals out open another one inside the cave and let us out so we can't yeah yes why i'm serious this is the only way we can do this and i'm serious i can't why only one person can go through and i already used the uh leap of faith clary says an idea i think they're stuck between a rock and a hard place i'm not giving we use just like a save your life i don't
Starting point is 00:16:19 I'm not sacrificing the quest. Annabeth would understand. She would know that this, this is bigger than any of us. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. Okay. Dang it, hang it. Oh, no, you better heal her, you better heal her, buddy. You better actually use it.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Oh, okay, that works. That's so cool. That's why they want to bring it, Talia. That works cool. Ooh, her hair started sparkling. Is she okay? She will be. Do you realize what you just done?
Starting point is 00:16:59 You killed us. That was... Yeah. That's what he's done. He's made the last two episodes a lot more interesting, is what he's done. You probably killed Antibeth two. Great job, Hero. You need back off? Come on, he had to.

Starting point is 00:20:37 it was good it is a solid installment of the season I don't think it's one of the there's like strong moments. I thought there's like strong emotional moments that were some of the strongest of the season. I don't feel as an overall episode. It's one of the strongest of the season. But it's a reasonably good installment. Like I like the expansion of the lore of the main Cyclops. I forget his name. Polysiferous or something like that. Polysiferous. Polysiferous. Yeah. I like his characterization quite a bit. Yeah. And I love every moment with Tyson in particular, like the heartfelt relationship with him choosing between like the path of a cyclops in that moment or going with his brother and then choosing
Starting point is 00:21:18 his actual brother percy was a beautiful reunion moment that they had and all the dynamics i think are really good everything with clarice i find really engaging and the way they've pivoted the stakes to have luke come in to represent the gray side of luke that it's not he's not just some like black and white antagonist that clearly he believes he's doing some type of good motive and even in the moment where he wants to save ann and beth you can see that this is a moment of true inner conflict for everyone. So there's a lot of strengths. And the episode itself was, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:21:51 there's just something there that was like, wasn't the most thrilling to me. Yeah. Yet I could acknowledge it's a solid installment of an episode. And I like more of the setup for what they did. Yeah. Or than the overall execution, while still very appreciative of the overall execution.
Starting point is 00:22:09 But that's just my feeling on the matter. What are your feelings? Yeah, I thought it was really, a fun cliffhanger. Like, I'm ready for the next episode. Like, I want to go gliding on those hippo campus things. Um, but I did, I thought that when Tyson arrived and he's
Starting point is 00:22:24 like, my only brother here is the one inside that cave. I was like, okay. It got, it was like a little melodramatic, but I still really liked it because there was a lot of growth there for Tyson. Like, I was really hoping when he, when he would pop up that I would feel like more
Starting point is 00:22:40 alive in this episode because I just really love it when Tyson is around like he's one of my favorite characters i don't know what it is it's just i think it's just his earnest like sweet nature um and he's like always there for his brother like you can just see like when percy in my hug he just looked like exhausted and so happy like i hadn't seen percy give someone a hug even if it was annabeth and look that like that relieved because you know when you have people in your life that if you are with them or you get a hug from they bring you like a sense of safety and calm and that's kind of rare that's not all of your friends
Starting point is 00:23:19 that's not everyone around you and i could feel that in that shot which i think was a good direction a key to their chemistry um and i really like that clarice was the one that was smart enough to break the glass and and get them out that it wasn't grover um and again more more and more shows are putting women in like more power positions where they're like kind of the smarter ones in the room where as before whatever back in the day it's always like the guy and the girl always seems sort of like help me and I don't like that but nowadays I really like that they're giving like the women or the girls in shows movies more stuff to do and that they have the better ideas of how to get them df out of there so I really enjoyed that part and I thought for a second when
Starting point is 00:24:05 Luke had the fleece that he would maybe run with it. And I agree with you that I'm glad that they fleshed him out more, that he's not just a black and white villain, that he does still have a heart. And like, we do go back to their history when he does save Annabeth. You know, they have that history there. And it would have been really tragic if he would have run off of that fleece and not saved her because then he would be like a true villain.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Like he has to die. That's how I would have felt like you heard me say in the episode. I was like, if he doesn't help her, we have to kill him. which would have been bad. So I'm interested to see how that relationship evolves between Luke and Annabeth and him saving her when she's like, oh, you saved me and you didn't really have to, I guess. But I'm mostly excited about the hippo ride. Like, let's go rainbows.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Let's do this. I think that's like the most fun. I don't know what I'm most intrigued by the effects, what it's going to look like. The fact that there's exactly four. like, does the bracelet do that? Like, does it know? Or was there always only four? Because I'm like, that's a wild coincidence. I would like to
Starting point is 00:25:13 know more about the science behind the bracelet. But other than that, I agree with you. It's not like the most exciting one, but it was a good installment to get us to where we need to be for the next episode. I'm legit excited. Like I, you better not show me
Starting point is 00:25:29 an episode where they're not riding those hippo rainbows, because I'll be disappointed. Yeah. I'm happy. I mean, the whole cast is back together. Yeah. Anabeth's not there. But the looks like by the next episode, the entire cast will be there. Yeah, which is fun.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Like when they get all together. Yeah, this one felt like a play in some ways. Yeah. Because it's like the, there wasn't much going on in the locations. It was kind of barren, which I think works for the location where the Cyclops is. And how much of an island figuratively and literally he is. Yeah. So, but so it didn't let him.
Starting point is 00:26:05 it's up to a lot of like cool you know pastiche type of language in the cinematic side but it allowed it to be a little bit like a play they were all just kind of like showing up one at a time taking turns etching the frame and stuff so it was nice to see that like again it was like mainly the character dynamics and the consequences of choices
Starting point is 00:26:23 and the gray to it so yeah I'm excited I'm excited for where we're just going to go next what do you think Tyson did with his brother not with Percy with the you know the permythia whatever his name is do we think he he killed him or honestly was like you go away and you don't
Starting point is 00:26:39 come back for a while. I don't think he killed him. Although I kind of like they went off the cliff and maybe he was just like... I imagine it like knocked him out. Yeah. He said he won't ever, he won't be hurting anyone again. Right. I wonder how he did that though. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I don't really know what the rules of a cyclops are. Can you like throw them to the water and can they survive underwater or can Tyson only survive because he's a demigod? He's a demigod. That's right, because the Cyclops isn't. Yeah, so I don't know. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yeah, I don't know either. But it didn't happen on screen, so there's a chance he's alive. He's going to come back, I feel like, for sure. But I wonder if that statement that he gave where he's like, he's never going to hurt anybody again, if that's actually true. We'll see. We'll see, man. Okay, you got any last things? I mean, this is short episodes.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Those are like my main thoughts. Yeah, I don't really have much. I don't really have, right, right. Well, we love you guys. Make sure that you're, you know, leave a comment. Tell us what you guys think. I mean, what do you think he did with the sidewalks? Let me know if you know the signs behind the bracelet.
Starting point is 00:27:45 I got to know, like, about the hippos that come alive. Like, is it always for hippos for the amount of people that are near the bracelet? I want to know these things. Excited about the next episode. Leave a like, leave a comment. Tell us how cool we are. Be cool. Be nice.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Be kind. We love you. We'll see on the next one. Thank you.
