![]() Yay! We don’t have to see anything gross happen, we just get to hear about all the nasty bits in song. The good thing about a family show like this is that you get entertaining, gripping and bloodless battle sequences. Thankfully, they duck for cover in their medieval underground bunker, while chaos ensues above. Yikes! Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. As they move in closer, we realize that poor Chef and Gwen’s (hooray Darren Evans and Sophie McShera made it for the finale!) home is right smack dab in the center of this epic showdown. All that talk of death and destruction would motivate anyone to fight until the bitter end. Indeed, King’s Beard has been on an epic hero’s journey all along and this is his moment of truth.Īll three armies start charging towards each other, singing their battle-cry: “ A Good Day to Die.” Menken and Slater’s fight songs have been so uplifting this season. He’s gone from a boob (hehe “You said boob.”), to a real man and now he’ll be a warrior. In earnest, Galavant is impressed with how much King Richard has evolved. These two have come a long way this season and they’ve truly become loyal friends. ![]() As Richard’s confidence wavers (thanks to Roberta’s lack of faith), his Gal pal offers a much-needed ego boost. King Richard, Galavant and their zombie army are marching towards the battlefield. Let’s face it, we are all following Isabella into battle, except ours is taking place in the Twittersphere (#FightForLoveS3.) Hortencia’s chances look dim, but they have a secret weapon coming their way. Kudos to the “Galavant” writers for cramming every classic motivational battle speech (from “Braveheart” to “Lord of the Rings”) into one sweeping monologue that was excellently delivered by the always stunning and sweet Karen David. Luckily, Isabella rallies her citizens-turned-troops with a rousing speech. He suggests they all just jump to the end and commit suicide instead of prolonging their suffering. Valencia’s army is bigger and better, so the people of Hortensia will most likely die in vain. The Jester only sees the reality of this hopelessly dire situation. Madalena and Gareth are backed by a badass army and the D’DEW. “A New Season” is a fantastic song, but we really missed this catchy tune, so it’s great they brought it back for the big “ Galavant Recap.” As the season opener foretold, everything has been leading up to this epic battle. The finale takes us back to “Galavant’s” roots and opens with Jester (velvety voiced Ben Presley) recapping the second season to the beat of the original theme song. Alright, with that mushy bit said, let’s get to gushing over these amazing episodes, shall we?! We will certainly miss our live-tweeting bashes during the off-season…yes, we are saying off season because cancellation is not an option. The entire crew is a blast to tweet with! Your candid and hilarious fan interaction is always appreciated. We humbly thank you for the gift of “Galavant” and for the genuine kindness you all show us fans. For one hour, we escape into the extraordinarily beautiful, colorful, feel-good and fun-filled world you have carefully and cleverly created and we set our worries aside. ![]() In an era of TV shows eager to capture gritty realism, despairing drama, and so-called “reality” ( cough “The Bachelor” cough), “Galavant” stands out and shines brightly like a beacon of light. Despite all of the great and flattering comparisons, this show truly is one of kind. Your passion and affection for the show only makes us love it even more. ![]() “Galavant” is so obviously made with love and joy. We offer our whole-hearted gratitude to Dan Fogelman, Kat Likkel, John Hoberg, Alan Menken, Glen Slater, Timothy Omundson, Karen David, Joshua Sasse, Mallory Jansen, Vinnie Jones, Luke Youngblood and the rest of the extraordinary cast, all of the phenomenal guest stars, brilliant writers, and tremendously hardworking crew (from costumes designers to grips, etc.) This show would not be the lovable sensation it is today without all of your efforts. Before diving in and cherishing every sweet scene and song, let’s take a moment to thank Team “Galavant.” Oh great, it’s only the opening paragraph and this weakling is already misty-eyed. Indeed, “Battle of the Three Armies” and “The One True King (To Unite Them All)” was everything we could have ever hoped for and more. “Galavant’s” glorious Season 2 finale has come and gone. The day we have been paradoxically wishing for and dreading has finally arrived. It’ll be quite a feat if this recap is written without a weeping hot mess of a reviewer typing through blurry eyes. Here’s a dose of brutal honesty, Galavanters. The whole happy “Galavant” family! (Photo credit: ABC/Nick Ray via Disney Press site)
