They know it's got to be where Isabella & co went. (I mean really.the king of Hortensia was literally just there a short while ago. The plotline of getting Gareth a scar for his birthday was a bit strange, not to mention Wyrmwood showing up to start a war. Gareth and Madalena's budding relationship is adorable in an odd, sadistic sort of way. Unlike previous weeks, there was very little in the way of character development, particularly for Richard. Meanwhile, Sid escaped Valencia to find his way back to Galavant. Isabella broke her engagement, but did little else. Once again, Galavant, Richard and Bobby trekked through some woods and very little happened of note (though Galavant did get some closure with his father). The new villain, Wyrmwood, continues to be flat and one-dimensional, though it was nice to see him get kicked out of Hortensia. 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.
