One of his last roles ever sadly, but he goes out on top as the king of the Olympians himself Zeus! Rest in peace you absolute fucking legend!❤

For clarification, Percy is the one in control of the wave. Poseidon can't get involved because Percy invoked single combat. So the fight against Ares was all Percy! I have seen a lot of people reacting to this show assuming it was Poseidon and forgetting that Percy invoked single combat, so I want to make sure everyone is on the same page!

This Hades is the most accurate to mythology, I just love him sm! Also, seeing a god's true form can incinerate humans; it happened to Dionysus (Mr.D)'s mom, Semele, when she looked at Zeus's true form. That's why they looked away.

Book Info: - The bolt didn't appear in Percy's bag until they got to the Underworld. So even if he checked it last episode the bolt wouldn't be in it. - Hades offers pomegranate juice to Percy and Grover: eating a pomegranate means you are trapped in the Underworld forever. - The 3-headed dog is called Cerberus. The actor for the water bed guy was in the 1st Percy Jackson movie. The music has been EPIC this season, absolutely love it! PS: 100% agree that Lance is the perfect casting for Zeus, it really sucks he died. RIP LANCE

Fun fact: The major reason the movie fell hard in the climax is because they switched out the Ares' fight with Luke. Percy's 1v1 with Ares was what drove the entire third act of the book. It was THE pinnacle reason Percy became the legend in his camp, and, with info about Kronos, the only reason Zeus let him go. This show grabs all of those chaotic emotions perfectly in these last two episodes and sets up the S2 perfectly.

Let’s be honest who wouldn’t wanna give each of the 3 heads of Cerberus scratches? Such a good puppy.

My opinion is that the scene with Percy and his mom hugging in the cabin was real, Kronos just used that memory for his dream. So, but until the point where she said "it's time to wake up" I think we were seeing what really happened.
