January 3rd's Weekly TV Thoughts

Two weeks, and I only have two episodes of the same show to talk about.  It's like it is the holidays or something.  Next week won't be too much better.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (12/24) – I’m glad I didn’t watch this one until 12/30 with that cliffhanger.  Other than that, we got some needed backstory, but I don’t feel like we got too much real forward movement.  Poor Grover has had much to do this season, either.  I kind of remember that from the book.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (12/31) – The opening was a bit shocking remembering where we were at the end of the last episode.  And we saw a lot more of Grover, too.  The books lend themselves to this kind of episodic structure, but I liked this one.  Some nice character development, and we did get the characters closer to where they want to be.
