TV is back today

I might be the only one but I really liked Galavant. I laughed and generally enjoyed myself.


I loved Madalena choosing power and wealth and then terrorizing the king who kidnapped her. The whole thing with her cheating on him, constantly comparing him to Galavant and making him obey her every whim was priceless. Richard picked her for the looks and kidnapped her so I'm not sorry for him and she married him for his money despite being disgusted by him so I'm not feeling to bad for her. And that song at the end was perfect - my favourite line - "I know there's something scary behind you cold, dead eyes". I just love that she's worse than the evil king who kidnapped her. It's like someone took Princess Bride and made Buttercup one behind the whole plot.

Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elisabetta (Lucia Maria subtitles and Sid are in disagreement over this) is my favourite but Vinnie Jones has really good comedic timing and his makeover of King Richard was the best. The training montage was perfect and so was the joust. And they sure have fun with names - especially guest stars' characters.


But the singing show promo adds were little much.

Also The Good Wife is back and that was a tense episode. Very dramatic. I'm pretty sure this arc will end Lemond Bishop but we know he has new carrier as vigilante before him so it's all good. I suppose this is also the set up of Kalinda's exit - I knew another main cast actor was leaving but until know I didn't check who because I was trying to see if I can figure it out and it became pretty obvious tonight. This makes me sad as I always loved hers and Alicia's friendship and there isn't that many women friendships outside soaps these days and I'm going to miss this one. The biggest surprise this evening - that kiss.

I liked The Librarian movies but the first episodes of the new series - The Librarians - were a little stiff. Rebecca Romjin didn't really click at first and all the actors seem a little stiff at their roles, except John Larroquette - he's been wonderful from the start. Even Wyle wasn't really the Flynn I remembered (a lot of people compared him to the Eleven and it seems right). However, today's episode was great. It was funny, it was entertaining and it finally had a good team chemistry. I can't quite put in words how much I loved that Baird was the Princess (Cinderella!) and Cassandra was the Prince Charming (with all the girls swooning for her and buying her drinks). And then the girl got to tell the stories and made the Woodsman a robot and a princes a Ninja princess and I want this fairytale book. I still miss Judson and Charlene but Jenkins is great replacement. I'm starting to really like this series.
