Yay, you’re all up to date with me now! I can finally come on this thread without biting my tongue to stop myself giving things away when reading theories!
[adrotate group="5"]The Xanax humor was spot on.
Madalena is an evil….word I can’t say. But oh god she is fun to watch. That tango was hilarious.
I really enjoyed Chef’s duet with the hand maiden because it pretty accurately portrays life for the peasantry–you have fleas and lice and all your children die and you live in a hovel. It’s a new kind of love song…sorta like “Maybe You’re Not the Worst Thing Ever.”
Baby Besties Gareth and Dickie. Perfect.
Sad this is going off the air.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Gareth has become my favorite. Loved “Little Gareth” too. It’s so funny and the songs are pretty catchy. And it has continuity! The jester was in the dungeon. 😉 Glad to know some showrunners appreciate continuity.
The guy who plays Gal was on a talk show last week and said they hope to get picked up for a second season. I do wonder if they get picked up for a season two what the story line would be about. It’s interesting that he mentioned they do their singing live. They don’t lip sync their parts. He talked about how hard it is to stay in character singing when trying to mount a horse.
Next week I’ll have to record it and watch it after since Sons of Liberty is airing at the same time. So much goodness on Sunday nights. 😉

Sad news, but the ratings for this week dropped to a 0.9: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/01/19/tv-ratings-sunday-galavant-tumbles-revenge-up-scorpion-strong-as-afc-championship-wins-night/351697/
Honestly, not that surprised, since the whole point was to air something to prevent OUAT from competing against award shows and football. Looks like ABC was the only one to air original programming that night, as the other networks were either airing sports or didn’t want to compete against the 2nd biggest football night of the year. The Cancellation Bear is already eyeing for its sadly likely cancellation. Though to be honest, the way they set up this show, I’m not sure how its story would extend past one Season anyway. I feel Galavant is also a tough sell, since it’s such a weird concept for a TV show.

I love how evil they made her. You go into a story like this with a preconceived notion of what the “damsel in distress” is like, and they just threw that out the window and went in the whole other direction. So clever, love it.
Also like how they flipped the gender stereotype, having Galavant be the one trying to convince himself that she really does love him, even when all the signs were screaming NOPE.

I love how real the love songs are on this show. The Galabella duet is another great example, such non-romantic notions for the lyrics of such romantic songs.
Also, I love the Chef, he may be my fave, (almost, because I have a soft spot for Richard as a hangover for my love of Tim Omundson’s portrayal of Lassie on Psych), if anyone in this show deserves a happy ending, it’s him.

The actors for Isabella and Sid are interviewed on the Afterbuzz podcast for this ep, and they mentioned the live singing too. They pre-record the songs, but still sing live, and sometimes part of the live take is better, except there are birds singing in the background.

Considering the timeslot they put it in though, you’ve gotta wonder what expectations they had for the ratings, so those numbers could potentially be on par. Wonder if it gets much of a bump in DVR views?
I’m sad that there are only two more eps left. Can’t wait to see what Kingsley (that name LOL) has in store for poor Dickie.

Oh, another Psych fan! I love seeing him so different than the stodgy Lassiter. He’s so different and it’s fantastic seeing this other side of him. It’s kind of like imagining Gaston on “Skin Deep” as potentially evil when he’s lovable bumbling Buzz. That show also had the best bromance on tv. I think Shawn and Gus would seriously consider marrying each other….although they did talk about having side by side houses in the future 😛 .
Sad to see this is the last week coming up. I will miss it.

For those interested, a soundtrack has been released: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/galavant-original-soundtrack/id956968114&uo=4&at=11l5XS
I’m sad that this is far from a complete soundtrack. The most notable omission is “Hero’s Journey” from episode 2. Hoping the missing songs get released eventually. However, “Togetherness”, “Lords of the Sea”, “Comedy Gold”, “No One But You”, and “Hey, Hey, We’re the Monks” are slightly extended.

OMG I love Psych! (So much so that I actually didn’t watch the final ep until recently because I knew it’d make me super sad for it to be officially over. #tragic) I think there’s a little bit of Lassie in Richard, in that neither one of them know how to relate to normal people, bless their hearts. LOL Shawn and Gus just make me so happy the way they love each other. <3 The show was just so much fun! My first visit to Canada, I went to White Rock, and completely by accident walked right past the building they used for the front of the Psych office. There weren’t any cast there, but they had signage up like they were planning to shoot soon, and I totally geeked out.

We might be a bit too much alike. I still haven’t watched the finale. I had intentions to do it the week it aired and I just couldn’t. I talked to Torrie about it in chat yesterday. I’m going to have to keep and eye out for it in the reruns because I really do need to see it.
I can see the Lassie/Richard connection. They’re polar opposites but you are right that neither relate to others well. I will say that Lassiter would be horrified at Richard’s incompetence. He liked to be the best. Remember how horrified he was when he discovered that Jules scored higher on the detective exam (and Shawn scored higher than everyone 😉 ). I could imagine how he’d mock and deride Richard for his behavior. 😛
It’s always nice to talk to another Psych fan. I feel there weren’t enough of us. But it did get a bunch of seasons so I’m grateful to USA Network for that.
