Delicious in Dungeon - Hot Pot/Tart

Featuring strong Dungeons & Dragons vibes, Delicious in Dungeon is an odd idea of giving us the adventures of a party that focuses at least as much on their travels through a dungeon as the various meals they make out of the creatures they kill. There are plenty of in-jokes for fans of D&D sprinkled throughout the first episode which introduces us to the remnants of a party that returns to a dungeon to rescue one of their members who is slowly being digested in the belly of a Red Dragon. Although unusual, it works.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - I Plunge to My Death

My mixed reaction to Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues with “I Plunge to My Death,” an episode that feels largely disjointed and half-assed as if several scenes have been randomly cut out to decrease the running time and get it to fit in at just over a half-hour. After buses turned out to be a no go,  Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth (Leah Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) have decided to take a train west. How exactly they paid for said train tickets, including their own compartment, is one of the many, many questions left unanswered.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Southern Air Temple

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to the world of elemental benders and a 12 year-old boy destined to return balance to the Four Nations. The reality of the world he’s lost hits home for Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) when he, Katara (Mae Whitman), and Sokka (Jack De Sena) reach the ruins of the Southern Air Temple. Upon discovering the skeleton of his friend and mentor Gyatso (Sab Shimono), Aang unintentionally enters his Avatar state and alerts the world to his return. The episode is also notable for introducing the winged lemur Momo who joins the group on their travels and for the subplot in which Prince Zuko (Dante Basco) defeats Commander Zhao (Jason Isaacs) in a contest that proves his skill and alludes to how the prince received his scar.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium

After an introductory episode that led to Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) realizing he’d been lied to his entire life and introduced him to the magical world which was more than just his imagination, and a second episode that dramatically increased the amount of information and characters of the magical world in fleshing out the unfortunately named Camp Half Blood (only to have nearly all those characters and setting be immediately removed from the ongoing narrative), Percy sets out on his quest with Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri). “We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium” is the best of the uneven series so far foreshadow trouble for the quest, disagreements among the trio, and a run-in with Medusa (Jessica Parker Kennedy). While still very much Harry Potter-lite, at least the actual storyline of Percy’s quest has begun.
