I was so sad when they cut Luke teaching Percy sword fighting from earlier episodes, one of the main reasons being because it would have meant that they couldn’t reasonably have Luke giving Percy instructions during the Ares fight, but having sword fighting lesson flashbacks during the fight was genius it tied everything together really well and made so much sense considering Luke hasn’t been in a huge portion of the show and your average viewer wouldn’t necessarily recognise his voice

There’s something about Percy spending the whole episode remembering how upset he was with his mother for separating them, but with this newfound understanding of why she did it, and then deciding to leave her (temporarily) at Hades’ palace because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of how much it hurts.
“Hold fast, Mom,” because they’re braving the storm that was made to break them.

They threw a little of 1997 Hercules’s Hades into some of these Hades lines and I can’t say I blame them.
Fast talker, negotiator. I see you, Disney.

GUYS!!!! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!! THE SCENE WITH POSEIDON AND SALLY IS SUCH A GREAT ADDITION TO THE TV SHOW FOR SOOO MANY REASONS, BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE IT SHOWS HOW MUCH HE LOVES HER AND PERCY!!!
Let me explain.
In episode 2 Luke gives the intro to burnt offerings, explaining that you burn what you’ll miss the most so the gods will listen.
In this episode (ep. 7) Sally burns something that’s not even hers, but the second she does, Poseidon is there to listen. And he even says that!
Poseidon can’t interact much with Sally, and it’s too dangerous for him to do so with Percy. The Olympian’s are constantly watching. You can even hear thunder in background after Sally asks if he wants to talk to Percy, a reminder from Zeus that if Poseidon talks to Percy, it will confirm he is Poseidon’s son.
POSEIDON LOVES THEM BOTH SOO MUCH, AND HE HAS TO STAY AWAY TO PROTECT THEM!!

When you realise that Sally was sitting in the rain in the first episode because she was probably trying to feel closer to Poseidon, or at least like he was with her in that moment.

You know Percy and Annabeth have a lot more room to grow in their relationship when 12 year old Percy leaves Annabeth with a root stuck to her leg while 17 year old Percy let’s himself get pulled down into Tartarus with her when she’s got webs stuck to her leg.

PERCY JACKSON EPISODE 7 SPOILERS!!! (and also for the book if you haven't read it!!)
So, as always, FANTASTIC episode.... But..
There were soo many things that I waited the week to see, that they either changed, or completely left out.
A lot of the changes they did in the series are not changes that bother me or they're changes I really liked, but this time they did me dirty.
The struggle in crusty's??? The waiting room filled with dead people??? The whole oh no cerberus is after us what are we gonna do omg wait cerberus is just a big puppy that wants to have some fun???
I know they did still technically have that last one but it was very different from the book.
Now see, I don't mind that it's different from the books, this is Rick's chance to rewrite the book but with the knowledge he has of what happens in the whole book series.. But some things I think affected the episode a bit on the negative side.
Another thing that does annoys me at times, but truly isn't the end of the world, is that too often the characters just. Know. They meet a new monster and they immediately know who it is and what they do. Where as in the book they find out the hard way. Knowing that they've reached medusas lair before they see the statues to prove it, knowing how to defeat crusty before even walking into his shop (otherwise Annabeth wouldn't already be wearing her cap, fight me) etc. I think the overall show would be slightly improved, had they just added maybe 10 minutes to every episode, and used those extra minutes to show our heroes actually in trouble. Percy doesn't know how to properly fight yet, show him learning. They do that, but I think they could do it more.
I don't mind the telling, not showing, because the entire first book is just a huge infodump. The people that are mad at that, needs to read the book (again)
Also, that is EXACTLY how I envisioned hades to be. Not so somber, not the hadestown version of hades (tho I really do love hadestown hades) but the dorky, clever little bastard that was in episode 7. Thank you! I immensely enjoyed every second of those few minutes of screen time he had. But I do think some scenes were too short. Don't come for me, I know a lot of the "fights" from TLT are way shorter than some people might remember, but they did almost die in crusty's shop and I wanted persassy talking to charon and sailing the Styx.
I did like that they kept the shoes dragging grover to tartarus, that gives a lot of info to non readers about who the traitor is.. One thing about tartarus though... I clearly remember it as a cave with a huge bottomless pit? I could be wrong, and honestly, it being in a cave or the middle of a desert is not something that is too important to me, I just thought the cave set the whole mood. Ykno, with Artemis being trapped in there in TTC and all that. But again, not That important to me.
The only thing that has legitimately bothered me about this show, has been the lighting. As someone who is incredibly passionate about lighting, and wants to become a professional in the field, watching (or struggling to) some of the scenes, were so annoying. They could do better than giving Pjo the DC treatment. I watch the show on my computer, in a dark room, with the screen light on max, and still couldn't see certain scenes in the show (like the amusement park, the minotaur, fields of asphodel etc)
There's many ways to show the audience that it's so dark the characters might have trouble seeing, without the audience feeling the same way.
I'm so sorry about the length of this, I had stuff to say. But no one will ever get me to dislike this show. I love it, so so soo much, sometimes there are just things I'm insanely excited to see, as a book reader, that doesn't happen and I'm a bit sad about that, no matter how good bad or neutral the changes are.

The absence of police in the final episode, whilst making the episode flow much better, also leaves us with the implication that Percy is never cleared of domestic terrorism and will be considered a run away forever.

What do you mean Annabeth gave Grover a stress ball because he was picking at his horns? And I’m just supposed to be okay??

I kind of like how Procrustes again played into this idea of this toxic family the gods have created—I don’t remember them referencing that they’re technically brothers in the book, but you can see Percy feels conflicted to be adding to that family tension
