Notes some on The Immortals


  • Very interesting visions of the Greek gods
    • Zeus = very cleverly realized
    • Athena = Seriously?!  She's a wuss!!!
    • Ares = Cleverer than I'd expect...  
    • Poseidon = Dude, what are you wearing on your head?
    • Other gods and goddesses?  What other gods and goddesses?  I mean, they made Athena a sniveling wannabe ninja, kinda glad they didn't try that with Hera...
  • Definitely holds up the ideal of the Achilles-esque hero (lead from the front, fight better; need no rabble to help you, only back you).
    • Clever way to work the Theseus/Minotaur/Labyrinth myth into the overall gods/titans thing, but too quickly done with.
  • The bow...  Wow.  Someone watched a little too much of this show when we were kids.
