  • Karen makes a public apology for ever doubting they would release a Percy Jackson and the Olympians teaser trailer.
  • Is it actually surprising we got a teaser trailer this early?
  • We’re kind of shocked we’ve gotten no god casting in the meantime!
  • Karen goes through her experience waiting for the Percy Jackson segment of the D23 Branded Television panel.
  • By the way, American Born Chinese seems like something Percy Jackson fans would enjoy!
  • We discuss the two mini clips we got from the panel’s montage intro.

  • There’s a lot of pressure on their shoulders, but it seems like they all have great support systems in place.
  • If Percy Jackson and the Olympians ever comes to Comic-Con, what sort of footage would they bring?
  • Karen really missed breaking down trailers, and this one was a whopping 52 seconds!
  • What do we think of Percy’s voiceover during the trailer?
  • Will these lines actually be in the show?
  • Is anyone bothered by the letters on the signs leading to Camp?
  • The next shot is of Percy in his Cabin, looking at his necklace. Isn’t it kind of funny he has to wear it without any beads?

  • We get some new Camp Half-Blood t-shirts!

Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian discussion (00:54:05)

  • We’re discussing The Last Olympian chapter 4 today!
  • Prophecy Count #24!
  • Poor Rachel Elizabeth Dare never bargained on being pulled into Percy’s world.
  • Is it fair that Rachel is angry at Percy? Karen thinks everyone—not naming any names—needs to be nicer to Percy.
  • It’s so cute that Annabeth and Percy do their chores together!
  • What’s the real reason why Clarisse is refusing to fight with Camp against Kronos? Does she have a point, and is this really the time to make it?
  • Kristen talks about her favorite moment early because she just can’t wait.
  • Nobody touches Annabeth’s notes.
  • EVERYBODY at Camp knows Percy and Annabeth like each other.
  • Karen also jumps into her favorite moment—godly DNA!
  • We had completely forgotten that Gleeson Hedge is mentioned in this book!
  • Where’s Grover!? Is he okay??
  • We know he has a higher calling, but we miss him!
  • Okay, let’s talk about Annabeth calling Percy a coward.
  • We are not here for Annabeth slander, but we wish she would think a little more about what Percy is dealing with.
  • Have we ever heard about the campfire’s flames reflecting the campers’ moods??
  • Clarisse won’t even let Percy cash in on the favor she owes him.
  • Beckendorf’s metal shroud burns, which is amazing and sad.
