| I want closure! This isn't a musical without closure! |
When I first started watching ABC's new musical comedy Galavant I thought "Wow! This is hilarious!" I kept streaming it on Hulu but then there was that cliff hanger ending! Not very musical-esque where usually you get a happy ending! I thought it was supposed to be a miniseries but with a cliffhanger like this: the hero and evil king on a boat, the hero's princess love locked far away in a castle, and henchman ruling with evil queen.

| Galavant is about to get whooped by a girl |
 |
| What? That's it? Where's my closure!? |
Trying to sound as unbiased as possible there are facts that could prevent Galavant from riding again. One is the cost of such a musical production with costumes, set building, and filming on location. Then there's the extra cost for song writing and choreography. That being said there are reasons why Galavant should ride once more.

| There's a softie beneath all that leather, Gareth |
 |
| Because it's not a drunk song unless you're hammered |
Galavant was a great filler for winter break. A fun interlude with catchy, uniquely worded ballads and hilarious jokes. A few times those songs would get stuck in my head causing me to watch them again. The actors were well chosen as they dove right into their roles twisting their Archetypes into something unexpected and uproarious. And so many unanswered questions! Did Gareth's heart really grow two sizes or was it all a power move? Will Sid be saved? Will Isabella really marry her little cousin? And is King Richard one of the good guys now? Please these need to be addressed!
 |
| Will they be back next year? |
 |
| They finally kissed they're meant to be! |
Musicals are all about closure. Everyone (not everyone sometimes) gets a happy ending; the hero gets the girl; and there's an epic musical number at the end to wrap it all up. But Galavant feels incomplete! We need another season to have closure. One more season is all I ask, ABC. PLEASE!

| Don't leave us hanging, ABC. |
