Ugh, this show has gotten to be so delightful and hilarious and strong and I'm so bummed that a second season is uncertain because we NEED another year with these people after the finale. I loved how even though it was a seemingly silly series, it actually had a whole lot of depth to it (like you noted with Galavant and Richard). I would seriously also love to see another season of Gareth and Madalena because YES. How exciting would that be?<br /><br />GWEN WAS HILARIOUS. I didn't get to talk about the whole story with her and Vincenzo but I thought that was absolutely delightful and perfect. Someone astutely said that it's basically what Downton Abbey would be if it was a musical.<br /><br />C'mon, ABC. We need another season of this hilarious show.

I absolutely need to have a second season just so I can hear him sing some more and see his relationship with Madalena unfold.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696902354009598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-42874222948297929502015-01-28T11:33:29.411-05:002015-01-28T11:33:29.411-05:00Fantastic review. I love Gaaaaalaaaaavaaaant.
My ...Fantastic review. I love Gaaaaalaaaaavaaaant.<br /><br />My favourite lines become from Gareth:<br />"Nice kiss. I hope he remembers it" and<br />"You're gonna have to either lose or gain a lot of weight."<br /><br />Long Live Gaaaalaaaavaaaant!!!<br />vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556344961191259024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678481478994191244.post-73234660863555723962015-01-27T13:25:52.305-05:002015-01-27T13:25:52.305-05:00I really enjoyed the episodes this week. The show...I really enjoyed the episodes this week. The show has consistently gotten stronger and stronger and I really hope to see more of it. It started out as a funny, wacky ride and went on to do a lot of development of its characters and comment on story tropes in a really smart way. The knight isn't the gallant hero to begin with, the damsels don't really need any rescuing, the servants are fairly unhappy with their lives and have lots of intelligent things to say, the older royal brother is horrible and bloodthirsty and the younger is immature, thoughtless and clingy. <br /><br />I was so thrilled to see Anthony Stewart Head in his short appearance as Galavant's father! I've loved him since Buffy and anytime I can see him be funny and sarcastic and singing is a win in my book. I imagine that if Madelena had not been kidnapped Galavant would have followed in his father's footsteps in many ways. He would have remained emotionally distant and full of himself(cause it's heroic and manly), married Madelena and they both would have ended up with very little respect for each other. Madelena would have harped on him no end and he would have avoided her more and she would have yelled louder and he would have believed that his father was right about not getting married too.<br /><br />I love that we saw Galavant be wrong about every aspect of his "destiny", from Madelena to King Richard to the very nature of heroism. I like that they really poked fun at the idea that heroes are stoic solitary types who repress their feelings (I'm looking at you Oliver Queen) and I loved when Sid tried to keep from crying over Galavant's supposed death "I'm repressing my feelings just like Galavant taught me to do."<br /><br />Thank you show runners for using progress made in previous weeks to continue propelling King Richard forward, growing up and taking responsibility for his life. He's still charmingly clueless but he's trying and I love that. Omundson was a total MVP in this series and boy does that man have amazing hair! His relationship with Gareth was my favourite thing and it progressed in a believable and moving way. The twist of Gareth ending up on the throne was fascinating. Of course, Madelena has no hang ups with status or rightful rulership; not being royal herself she goes for competence over birth and Gareth is competent. I would love to see how those two get along and clash etc.<br /><br />It was amazing that handmaiden Gwen's anger at her life led her to plot the murder of all the rich folk making things bleak and miserable for everyone like her. And I love that chef Vincenzo couldn't go through with it but made them all violently ill instead. Wonderful.<br /><br />When Isabella's little cousin locked her up in a dollhouse out of the blue my first reaction was "This has taken a really creepy turn." It felt abrupt and weird and yet as it sunk in I realized two things: it's another fairy tale trope with a twist and most importantly, Galavant is now in exactly the same situation he was in at the beginning of the series- his lady love is being held against her will in another land by an immature and slightly creepy ruler. Here we go again! And I wish we would go again on another season!<br /><br />Other favourite moments:<br />- "It's too late now isn't it? It's out there. It's rattling around in my head taking up space where fight thoughts should be." hahahahah oh man, fight thoughts... This the all time best line from Galavant.<br />- "It is I Prince Harry, ruler of Hortencia and my mummy's special big boy." "Oh, isn't he adorable."<br />- *romantic kissing moment* "You have a family of spiders in your hair."<br /><br />Please renew! I love these characters.Beccanoreply@blogger.com
