The wildly popular webcomic Lore Olympus wraps up with episode 280! We were a little worried that there were so many unresolved plot threads left for the final episode, but Rachel Smythe managed to tie everything together in a pretty little bow.
No spoilers, but if you have any questions about how it all ended for anyone in the story, the answer is pretty much the same: they’re fine. The couple that you haven’t seen for months? They’re fine. That one character you really liked? They’re fine. Yes and that other one too. They’re fine. Apollo isn’t fine, but that’s a good thing. Zeus is more “okay I guess” than fine. But everyone else has nothing to complain about.
Of course, being who we are, we found a few tiny things to complain about: the occasional wonky expression in the artwork, some big confrontations that we never got to see (and now never will). But for the most part we’ve adored every part of this delightful little webcomic and all the talent and effort that went into making it for the last (wow) six years!
So now only one question remains: what the heck are we going to recap now?
Fortunately there are still plenty of things in the nerdsphere for us to obsess over, so after the recap we talked a little about Skibidi Toilet (yes, we’re still watching it), some complaints about Mayor of Kingstown getting thrown behind a paywall (curse you, Amazon Prime), and Elizabeth’s watching the final season of Picard, which led to a discussion of a few Star Trek storylines that the writers created and then dropped like they were on fire.

Correction: Turns out the big celebration of Persephone’s worshippers WAS when she went back to the Underworld every year. Hat tip to the Lore Olympians instagram page for so many years of historical tidbits.
