TV commentary:
Galavant- Totally forgot this started last night. I was a little skeptical of the show at first, even though you would think its my kinda thing, medieval fantasy/comedy musical? But I wasn't sold on the few seconds of music I had heard in the commercials. But, having watched the show, the songs sound better in their entirety.
I liked it, the songs are catchy and clever, and its pretty funny. I like Madalena (and, ooh, she's Aussie, so she's not faking the accent), not that Isabella isn't cute either. Which speaking of, apparently she was the girl who was kidnapped along with Alexis on Castle? She looks totally different!
But yeah, Lassie from Psych is the villain, Vinnie Jones is his top thug (heh, its amusing to see him in a musical comedy), and Galavant's squire is Magnitude from Community. Which, how did I not know Magnitude was British?! Or played Lee Jordan in the Harry Potter movies?!
It also surprised me. I mean, the commercials spoiled that Madalena would stick with King Richard when Galavant, so that was no surprise. Though I wasn't sure if it was because she fell for Richard or what, but I guess she actually just wasn't a very nice person to begin with. Well, they do at least give her backstory on why she's like that- where she grew up poor and vowed never to be in the kinda position where she'd be forced to kill her favorite pet for food again.
But I digress. I didn't expect Isabella to be a secret traitor also, being blackmailed by King Richard under threat to her parents' lives to bring Galavant to him.
