How do you make a heroic quest super boring? Have 3 preteens chat in monotones for half an hour and occasionally flee from a stupid looking fury. The show didn't start off on the best foot (I feel like many of the character portrayals were botched, missing the essence of the characters from the books. The fun and goofy adventurous tone of the books have also been replaced with an awkward seriousness for some reason I cannot explain), but I've been hoping the series would get better. This episode didn't improve things. The encounter with Medussa should have been the highlight of the episode but turned out very bland, and her takedown was lame. Overall, the series has been disappointing, and this episode was awkward, lame, and boring. Triple threat.
