I love how everyone has just latched on to the consensus song. We didn't even get the full song but I've seen posts about people wanting to see it in future seasons and I for one love that for us

I love how they handled Medusa's story! I heard they'd made changes from the book so naturally I was curious but ultimately this felt really so good!
From a visual standpoint, obscuring her face throughout was a great touch and built up how threatening she was. She has a warm, welcoming voice, which still hides something so clearly threatening.
But most importantly! Having her retell her own story as one of a survivor was amazing, especially with Medusa recently becoming a symbol of SA survivors during the MeToo movement.
Plus storytelling-wise it plants the first seed of the idea that the gods are not those infallible, all-good beings! And having Medusa be the first one to introduce that to the audience was so good. By the end it felt almost wrong to kill her, but still it drove the narrative forward brilliantly and advanced the main trio's characters!!
Also take a look at this article! I'm so excited for what's coming in Episode 7. The connection between Medusa and Sally and the implication that, if Poseidon was like that with Medusa, maybe he wasn't all that perfect with Sally is, once again, incredible.

love that the reason percy and annabeth don鈥檛 like each other has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that their parents had beef and it has everything to do with the fact that they鈥檙e 12 and annabeth is eons smarter than percy and he wants to be in charge. and then grover singing his funny little songs

I really appreciate and admire that the new Percy Jackson show is both willing to make changes to service the story--whether that be updating it for the new medium, tweaking things that maybe were a little logically silly to begin with in the original text, or adding more character depth--while still keeping it perfectly in character to the point where I had the urge multiple times to check my copy of The Lightning Thief to see if a moment was made up whole cloth or not.

"the way they killed medusa was stupid" "using the hat to kill medusa was dumb" that's because this show isn't written for action and blood and gore its written for STORYTELLERS ofc the "fight with medusa" wasn't epic and bloody that would defeat the whole point INSTEAD it was symbolic and set up narrative arcs. it was annabeth passing on the invisibility her mother cursed her with to a woman who was cursed never to be seen. it was paralleling the original perseus myth where he uses the helm of darkness alongside his shield and shoes from athena and hermes. it was setting up the conflict between percy and annabeth about giving up the hat and making annabeth suffer an emotional loss to go on with the quest versus imposing the consequences of medusa's story and tragedy on the gods themselves.
imagine watching a scene where annabeth increasingly gets defensive and 12-year-old lashing out with "but my mother is always just" "that isn't how the story goes" and "you're a LIAR" imagine watching the air go out of the room as "i'm a survivor" "i was you" "i would have been content to worship her for a lifetime... in silence" medusa breaks her calm demeanor at having her story erased once more imagine watching annabeth appear out of nowhere and make medusa disappear with the powers that athena granted her so that a son of poseidon can murder her and your main thought being "awwwww but i wanted it to be more epicccccc i wanted blood and gore and decapitationnnnnn" imagine missing the whole point of the entire percy jackson series that bad

You know, when Percy says that Thalia "met a pinecone's fate" I don't think it was a dig at Thalia. It was a dig at Zeus for not doing more to save her

They better have Annabeth bond with Cerberus next episode
All of them are canonical animal lovers and we already didn鈥檛 get Percy talking to any animals (not forced to talk to the poodle and not actually conversing with the zebra 馃槧)
