Of course the latter is played mostly for laughs although the comedy is mostly based around Richard’s inability to realise that he is in a gay bar, rather than the fact that gays are funny. Honourable mention however must go to Princess Jubilee who is, to all intents and purposes, bi, and also to the Enchanted Forest, a gay bar that Richard and Gal find themselves trapped in like some sort of fabulous Circe’s island. Ok so there clearly aren’t any lesbians in Galavant – although I wouldn’t be surprised if there were by next season. Add some giants-who-aren’t-giants, dwarves-who-aren’t-dwarves, magical mix-ups, a very evil wedding planner and a dragon-who-is-definitely-a-dragon and we have an exciting second season, with all the intertextual humour and musical comedy that I know and love from the first season. Meanwhile, held hostage back in Valencia Gal’s reasonably faithful squire Sid (Luke Youngblood) is forced to placate two very strong-willed people after Queen Madalena (Mallory Jansen) crowns Richard’s childhood friend, Gareth (Vinnie Jones), King – with unexpected results. Get on it.Stuck with the banished King Richard (Timothy Omundson) after the final episode of Season One, Galavant (Joshua Sasse) must travel to Hortensia to rescue Princess Isabella (Karen David) who is being forced into marriage to her cousin (although she does pretty well for herself without Gal, being the strong, independent, female Beyonce would want her to be). If you still haven’t watched Galavant, you’re dead to me until you do. Galavant, thank you for the laughs, the ear worms, and most importantly, for Tad Cooper. They are all off doing what they love and at the end of the day, I’d much rather have that than trying to pigeonhole this utterly ridiculous show into being something it’s not for the sake of ratings. Unlike last season, it closed with a satisfying ending for most of the characters. And he has a dragon.Īs distraught as I am that the show is over, if it ends here with only two seasons, I’ll be happy. It’s all cliché and silly but I don’t care because Richard is love. Not only does Richard slay the dark, dark evil wizard, he saves the girl from the dreaded Spinster Island, and becomes the One True King. If that doesn’t tickle your tail bone, I don’t know what to do with you. He steals every single scene, has perfect comedic timing, and he SUPER believed in Tad Cooper. Let me be perfectly clear: without Timothy Omundson, there is no Galavant. It’s all very sweet watching them get married by Weird Al, but the real star of the finale was Richard. They profess their love of brown farts and make promises to get married by the sea or something, blah blah blah. In the middle of the battle on top of poor Chef’s house, Isabella and Galavant are reunited and they reprise “World’s Best Kiss” a few more times and I’m okay with that, because goodness does Alan Menken know how to write a catchy love song. And all those Lord of the Rings references! Her story has probably been the worst of the season, but the last few episodes they’ve finally returned to her strength and holy hobbit leg if she doesn’t look amazing in that armor. Anyway, Isabella gives a rousing speech and leads her peasants into battle. 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.” Spoilers for the season 2 finale of Galavant.
