The show began with two hosts of some future time that welcomed us into their world of zany intellect, which included these two Wizards. These Wizards dueled with each other in order to determine the fate of the universe, but mostly just for fun, I think. As it turns out, these two were equal parts lovers and friends and were determining not the fate of the world, but their own fate with one another. It was sweet to see all this unfold: what began as a duel became a reconciling in the end. So, I couldn’t help but feel that we didn’t choose a fighting team of blue/black, but a friends and family team of bride/groom. We knew in the end that the future was not in their zany world of intellect, but us: those supporting a union of the two, a bride and a groom.
Overall, I loved how fun the show was and I enjoyed being in their imaginary world of games fit for all of us. The beautiful commentary to all of this was the trombonist, who seemed to be mute, so he spoke only through his instrument. With two hosts, two Wizards, and a trombonist, this world was full of dance and song, not without really tall boots and shiny, otherworldly outfits. Nehapwa!
