At first I felt it was an absolute mistake, then a trippy cover of Hurdy Gurdy Man that seemed to capture the mixed feelings of the scene wonderfully won me over at the end of the second episode to a "I guess I'm okay with it over the credits" stance. Now the show is testing me once again by using it over fight scenes and the like, and I think they'd do better to avoid that.Actually I think they'd do better to lean on the music from the original movie. If that music doesn't fit at least a little somewhere in an episode it's probably a sign that the given episode has gone a little off the rails. And the best evidence for this is this fan tribute to the original main theme, which I think shows pretty clearly how in lock-step it was with the general vibe we expect out of the Willow franchise:[MEDIA=youtube]KabCp61t9w4[/MEDIA]That said, whatever sins this show may have committed against the tone of the movie, they pale in comparison to those of the Chronicles of the Shadow War novel sequels.</blockquote>
