Nobody gets you, or sees what you could be My expectations for Galavant are now at the same level for Family Guy.King Richard: Hey little fella, I know just what you're thinking I expect deconstructed archetypes to make me laugh. I await parody songs for a hearty chuckle. I look forward to 4th wall-breaking jokes for a good giggle. On top of laughing to my heart’s content, I feel anticipation.īut this season, Galavant has completely exceeded my expectations. My heart pounds in my chest at all the various love stories. When Isabella, leading an army geared with pots and pans, gives her wartime speech on horseback, she inspires her citizens to rise up. I went from slouching on my couch to sitting straight. Galavant almost doesn’t show up on time with the zombie army, which means I was eating my popcorn with my jaw open. However, when Galavant reunited with Isabella and Richard with Gareth on the battlefield, I stopped eating altogether. Then, Madalena, using her D’DEW evil magic, turned the zombie army against Galavant, betraying Gareth. Gareth returns to the good side, and turns his back on Madalena, which made my heart melt. Yes, Galavant even had me feeling complex emotions of resentment and compassion for Madalena. The episode ends with Gal singing about how they will surely die, and for a moment, I thought our heroes might. Then Gareth points out that we all know that’s not actually going to happen, because it’s not Game of Thrones. The season finale, “The One True King,” commences, and all seems lost, when Sid appears with every guest ensemble from the entire episode. As I looked around for Kylie Minogue, Sid points out that they “couldn’t afford anyone recognizable.” But Sid’s army isn’t enough, as the zombie army overtakes them. Richard, yielding Excalibur, challenges Wormwood to a stand-off, and is informed he is the one true king to unite them all. Wormwood knocks the sword out of his hand, insults Tad Cooper by saying he is not a dragon, and seemingly kills the lizard. With that, Richard fearlessly attacks Wormwood, going all Inigo Montoya on him, repeating, “You killed my dragon!” Richard breaks the D’DEW wand, dissipating Wormwood’s power, and slaying Wormwood. The zombies stop attacking the living, and the battle is at an end. Gareth goes to Madalena, saying “I promise we can spend the rest of our lives together being terrible, even if we’re not as totally terrible as you want.” While she loves him, she has had a taste for evil power, and now, there is no turning back. If Richard is to be King Arthur, then it seems Madalena is becoming Morgan le Fay. On a happier note, Isabella has a mediocre, true love kiss with Galavant. Richard rescues Roberta from Spinster Island, and the season concludes with weddings and happy endings galore. In an ensemble song, the cast promises that if they get renewed for another season, they won’t disappoint. Showing us a tidbit for (hopefully!) season three, we see Gareth is going on a quest to rescue Madalena from herself, while Tad Cooper, roaring in the distance, has gone full-on Drogon (I guess this is kind of like Game of Thrones). Keeping with the fairy tale vein, I’m using one of my three wishes for a season three. Madina Papadopoulos is a New York-based freelance writer, author and regular contributor toPaste.

Beside some great show stopping numbers, it seems like love is in the air for both our heroic and evil characters. I’m pleased with how the plot is progressing. Our characters are finally finding each other, however I’m wondering how much more time is going to be spent on the “Galavant needs to find an army” arc. Also, the lack of Chef was noticed in this episode, I hope he returns soon! Given the events at the end of “About Last Knight”, it would seem like Galavant’s plot is switching gears, but I’m itching to see him reunite with Isabella and their return to Valencia. The first half of this week’s episode is the aptly titled “Giants vs. We open on Richard and Galavant having yet another spat, but this time it’s the final straw. Richard has traded the Jewell of Valencia, their bargaining chip for army, for a “dragon” named Tad Cooper. Something about giving this lizard as ridiculous a name as “Tad Cooper” makes me love it though and I welcome Tad to the show. Steaming over his latest spat with Galavant, Richard launches into a musical number about his dragon pal. What makes this song so entertaining is the sparkly retro music video effects that take over as Richard prances around meadows with this tiny lizard in hand. The combined absurdity of the visual is what makes it. Meanwhile, Galavant stumbles, literally, across a group of giants, who actually aren’t that giant at all, and promises to help them defeat their sworn enemies, the dwarves.
