On the Hortensia side of things, Jester gives us a recap and it’s beautiful! My goodness I love the Galavant theme and I almost wish they’d use it every episode, but I can understand that most people aren’t as obsessive as I am and don’t listen to a catchy song 54 times in a row. I never thought I’d be so upset over the bad guys breaking up, but there it is. Their romance was so over-the-top and absurd and yet, somehow so believable that it’s been the best romantic relationship on the show. And then Gareth gave her a pair of ears and I was smitten. You have to hand it to the writers, as much as I ADORE Madalena (second only to Richard), I didn’t think I’d ever ship her with anyone. Gareth wants to go in with the troops and get his manly hands dirty but Madalena is all, “Well, uhm, you see we built this viewing area…” And she breaks his heart by betraying her promise to not use dark magic. At the head of Valencia’s army are Madalena, Gareth, and the Wedding Planning Wizard. Three kingdoms are at war at the start of the final two episodes: Valencia, Hortensia, and… uhm… Galavant’s Undeadencia. It came and went in the blink of a dragon eye and all I want to do is share my pain with the world by quoting this hilariously meta and ridiculous show for weeks to come.īut we’re all big kids here, so let’s talk about all the things that went down Galavant’s season two finale. Look, I’ll just go ahead and say it: I’m incredibly sad Galavant is over for the season. “When you presume, you make a pres out of you and me.”

Unfortunately, the plot is being strung out much more this season, with a random assortment of characters who don't seem like they're going to have much impact on the plot (like Princess Jubilee - what in the world did that scene serve to do? Was there not a better way for Isabella to lose her tiara?)

By this point last season, Galavant was close to his goal - he was already in Valencia confronting Madalena. This season is longer than last season, and it's beginning to wear on the show. Part of me really really hopes his new friend actually breathes fire by the end of the season - it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.ĭespite the excellent music, these two episodes revealed a slowly stagnating plot. Richard also provided some excellent humor and music, trading the jewel of Valencia off-screen for a "dragon" he promptly named Tad Cooper. The practical upshot of this was that the music was of a much higher quality this week than it has been to this point in season 2, a much-appreciated improvement over the last two weeks. There were two obvious homages to famous musicals: the Jets & Sharks of West Side Story (recast as giants and dwarves who.well, they're all actually the same size) and the patriotic Frenchmen of Les Miserables (recast as Sid leading a group of increasingly less enthusiastic peasants against Gareth and Madalena's troops). This week, Galavant went to the Great White Way with its music.
