Galavant, season 2

[osprey_archer]

Galavant is back! And... my reaction to it is just as mixed as last year: cool premise, some great lines (loved the bit where King Richard is all "Can you get cancer from walking? Because I think my feet are getting cancer" - maybe you have to hear Timothy Omundson whine it while hiking across a verdant landscape to get the full effect), always happy for more musical TV shows, but it doesn't quite come together for me.

I also wasn't pleased about their choices with Isabella's storyline at the end of this episode. Isabella thinks Galavant doesn't love her, so she's just going to go back to her cell and marry her eleven-year-old cousin? You can still run away, Isabella! Run like the wind!

But I'm probably going to end up watching the whole show, again like I did last year, because even if it is imperfect, it's still quite, quite unlike anything else I've ever seen on TV.

I thought that Agent Carter was starting this Tuesday, but it looks like season 2 doesn't premier for another two weeks. WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME LIKE THIS, ABC?

AC got pushed back because the Golden Globes are in a week and they didn't want to have to start, then go on hiatus, then start again.

I mean, it makes sense. BUT IT'S STILL BREAKING MY HEART.

I'm assuming Isabella returned to her room because she was feeling sad and it was a safe space to process those feelings, not because she has seriously given up on running away. She still has the key (I think).

And surely the show is too smart to leave her locked up in a room. But maybe I'm just too optimistic?

I never know with Galavant. It's unpredictable, which is good because it keeps me interested, but I think that's also a symptom of the fact that the show isn't always sure of its own tone. They very well might leave Isabella in the room.

I'd rather they have her run away and meet Galavant on the road to rescue her, though. Probably they would shout at each other a lot until they finally realized there had been an awful misunderstanding.
