But any other stuff. And yeah, help us out on there because it helps out the channel and we super appreciate it. And we call you Royal Rejects over there.

Starting point is 00:01:27 So, you know, you can feel special. okay let's get into it let's review that's our job um how did you like it gregory it was good 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 polysiferous maybe 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

Starting point is 00:02:16 path of a cyclops in that moment or going with his brother and then choosing 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

Starting point is 00:02:41 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, there's just something there that was like, wasn't the most thrilling to me. Yet I could acknowledge it's a solid installment of an episode. And I like more of the setup for what they did more than the overall execution, while still very appreciative of the overall execution. But that's just my feeling on the matter. What are your feelings?

Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, I thought it was really, it's a fun cliffhanger. Like, I'm ready for the next episode. Like, I want to go gliding on those hippo campus things. But I did, I thought that when Tyson arrived and he's 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 alive in this episode because I just really love it when Tyson is around. Like, he's one of my favorite characters.

Starting point is 00:03:48 I don't know what it is. It's just, I think it's just his earnest, like, sweet nature. And he's, like, always there for his brother. Like, you can just see, like, when Percy gave him a 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 them, 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 00:04:20 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. And I really like that Clarice was the one that was smart enough to break the glass and get them out, that it wasn't Grover. And again, more and more shows

Starting point is 00:04:38 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,

Starting point is 00:04:56 more stuff to do and that they have the better ideas of how to get them the F out of there. So I really enjoyed that part. And I thought for a second, when 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

Starting point is 00:05:18 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. Like he has to die.

Starting point is 00:05:31 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

Starting point is 00:05:45 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. Let's do this. I think that's like the most fun. I'm most intrigued by the effects, what it's going to look like.

Starting point is 00:06:03 The fact that there's exactly four, I'm 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 know more about the science behind the bracelet. But other than that, I agree with you.

Starting point is 00:06:21 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 an episode where they're not riding those hippo rainbows because I'll be disappointed. Yeah, and I'm happy the whole cast is back together.

Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah. And it's not there. But the looks like by the next episode, the entire cast will be there. Yeah, which is fun. Like when they get all together. Yeah, this one felt like a play in some ways. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:49 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. But so it didn't lend itself 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. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:07:17 taking turns et cetera, 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 and the gray to it. So yeah,

Starting point is 00:07:26 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 permythian, whatever his name is.

Starting point is 00:07:35 Do we think he killed him or honestly was like, you go away and you don't come back for a while? I don't think he killed him. Although I kind of, like, again, they went off the cliff and maybe he was just like... Imagine he, like, knocked him out. Yeah. And he said he won't ever, he won't be hurting anyone again.

Starting point is 00:07:52 Right. I wonder how he did that, though. Yeah, I don't know. 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.

Starting point is 00:08:09 So, I don't know. Huh. I have no idea. 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.

Starting point is 00:08:26 We'll see. We'll see, man. Okay, you got any last things? I mean, this is short episodes. Those are like my main thoughts. Yeah, I don't really have much. I don't really have. Right, right.

Starting point is 00:08:38 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 cyclops? Let me know if you know the signs behind the bracelet. I got to know, like, about the hippos that come alive. Like, is it always four hippos for the amount of people that are near the bracelet? I want to know these things.

Starting point is 00:08:56 Excited about the next episode. Leave a like, leave a comment. Tell us how cool we are. Be cool. Be nice. Be kind. We love you. We'll see on the next one.
