Go To

  • Episode 1: The Gales
    • Kase agrees to join the party to rescue Airk because the prince is the closest thing he's ever had to a son... that he's aware of.
    • After dying, Graydon's second greatest fear is communal bathing.
    • Kase gives the party a lecture on the need to be vigilant at every moment right before he gets an arrow in the back.
    • While the protagonists are being pursued by horse-mounted Bone Reavers, Boorman's horse runs off a cliff while Boorman is yelling the word "Hsu-Gala" repeatedly, with the protagonists following him off the cliff. After they get to shore, Kit - presuming that what Boorman was yelling allowed them to survive the jump - asks Boorman what "Hsu-Gala" means. Boorman reveals that it's an ancient Angorian word... that means "stop", meaning the group actually survived out of dumb luck.
    • Dove's response to finding out that she's Elora Danan, future Empress, is a Flat "What" right before they cut to the credits.
  • Episode 2: The High Aldwin
    • Willow's speech to the village. He talks about the pain and hardship they endured. And that's just last weekend!
    • Willow says there's a balance between all things. Good and evil. Light and dark. Sweet and spicy.
  • Episode 3: The Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb
    • Hubert, the talkative One-Scene Wonder lumberjack.
    • Hubert asks who Elora is. Cut to her silent partner Anne, mouth hanging open after Elora has told them her whole story.
    • The party faces off with Ballantine.
      Silas: You're outnumbered five to one!
      Silas: Four-and-a-half to one.
    • Kit misremembers the Voluptuous Vale's name as the "Vale of Boobs."
    • Elora threatens Ballantine with a spell that will summon an army to her. It obviously doesn't work and what she gets instead is Graydon throwing a rock at Ballantine's head.
    • The party's Big Damn Heroes moment when they free Elora from Ballantine.
    • Willow instructs the party to return to their wagon during their fight with Ballantine. Said wagon is then promptly hit by a bolt of lightning and explodes, in a moment that manages to add momentary levity to a high-tension situation with how disarming it is right before it gives way to increased peril.
  • Episode 4: The Whispers of Nockmaar
    • While the protagonists are seeking shelter in Nockmaar and having pork meat for dinner, Willow recalls how Bavmorda once turned an entire army into pigs when they laid siege to her castle until Fin Raziel and Willow transformed them back. Boorman immediately stops eating his pork and asks Willow if he's sure they changed all the soldiers turned pigs back into humans. Willow assures him they did, but promptly puts his own pork away.
    • Jade's having difficulty processing her emotions after having had to Mercy Kill Ballantine, her mentor and adoptive father, and breaks down and confides in Boorman when the two find themselves alone together. Despite being the awkward, selfish, and flippant loner that he is, he allows it... but when the interaction culminates in her giving him a hug for some additional comfort, he gives an absolutely priceless look of confusion as to what he's even supposed to do before very, very tentatively and stiffly returning the gesture.
    • Kit casually mentions to Jade that at some point one of the spiral staircases in Nockmaar tried to eat her.
    • Due to the hallucinations they've been experiencing, Kit and Jade demand that Boorman say something that proves he's himself. Boorman's choice is to call Kit and Jade out for being attracted to each other. They immediately deny it, but let him in.
  • Episode 5: Wildwood
    • Willow fends off the Gales with a flamethrower.
      Boorman: What the hell is that?!
      Willow: Don't worry about it.
    • Kit's "Boorman, you cheddar-headed goob! If this turns out to be another one of your Sidequests, so help me I'm going to cut out your heart."
    • The story that Boorman tells Scorpia about his dramatic escape from Skellin, accompanied by flashback footage of how it actually happened (him getting smuggled out of the place in a waste barrel, taking some time to take a pleasant leisurely shower - presented in a set of cheerfully bright and Fanservicey shots - in a waterfall afterwards, and then getting drunk and partying at a tavern).
    • Toth gives Graydon a shave. When Graydon says he did it to attract Elora, Toth tells him that women like beards.
      Toth: Wish you'd told us that before we started.
      Graydon: Wish you'd told me that before we started! That guy doesn't have a beard!
      Toth: That guy doesn't have a girlfriend.
    • Elora tries to convince Willow to let her try the wand. "I'm using my mind to remove that stick from your butt and transform you into someone who will let me use the wand."
    • Willow's reunion with Rool and meeting his lazy Basement-Dweller daughter Ganush.
    • We find out that Franjean is "no longer with us" (moved south). His wife left him for Rool and is also "no longer with us" (dead).
    • Rool calls Graydon "Sad Angry Frown Prince."
    • Elora tries to use the wand to escape. When it doesn't work, she smacks it and blows on it like a malfunctioning video game cartridge.
    • Elora uses her magic to improve the soup that she's made for the Reavers' party, then wipes off the wand on a rag hanging from Toth's belt. When an already-disapproving Willow voices his distrust with the rag as a cleaning implement, Toth tells him it's fine because it's his "special party rag".
    • Kit asks Elora for relationship advice with Jade.
    • "And that's why I never leave the house without a good digestive tonic and three pairs of clean socks!"
  • Episode 6: Prisoners of Skellin
    • The trolls have Kit shackled to a chair, preparing to torture her for information while they make conversation. Kit's only reaction is to act utterly bored and snark at them. What truly makes it is Allagash in his cage, trying not to laugh as Kit sounds exactly like her father would've in the same situation.
    • Graydon and Elora have it out on their issues...completely ignoring Jade, Scorpia and Boorman beating the crap out of a bunch of trolls around them.
    • Willow identifies Allagash.
    Kit: My father told me about you! He said you were the only soldier dumber than he was.
    Allagash: Braver, I'm sure he meant braver.
    • After he frees himself from his confinement, Allagash takes off his eyepatch and casually tosses it aside. When Kit voices her surprise at this revealing him to have two eyes, he brushes it off by telling her that of course he does, providing no explanation as to why he was wearing one up until that moment.
    • Allagash tells Kit that he met up with Madmartigan in a Hazelton "friendship parlor".
    • Sarris, the Affably Evil Deadpan Snarker troll with a voice more suited to a polite corporate middle-manager.
      Falken: If we capture Elora Danan, do you know what this would mean for us?
      Sarris: I do.
      Falken: The Crone would reward us with whatever we desire. Cashmere, Galladoorn, Tir Asleen even.
      Sarris: Yeah, 'cause when I said "I do", what I really meant was "Explain it to me like I'm an imbecile."
    • Sarris asks which of the party is Elora. The party does an I Am Spartacus moment, which just has Sarris and his fellow trolls groaning as if it's not the first time they've heard that.
    • Sarris' last words after Kit stabs him. It's how annoyed he sounds that makes it better.
    Sarris: I was just starting to like you...
  • Episode 7: Beyond The Shattered Sea
    • The gang is annoyed to discover that all this time, Willow has been carrying a bag of gems yet they've been stuck in crummy inns and lack of decent supplies.
    • Kit gets a throwing star stuck in her arm while the group is fleeing from some of the Crone's forces. Jade takes her aside to remove it, and there's a long moment between them that seems to the audience - and from the looks of it, Kit - to be leading to a kiss. And then Jade smacks Kit in the head to distract her and yanks the star out.
  • Episode 8: Children of the Wyrm
    • Surrounded by Airk and the Gales, Kit and Elora must stand back-to-back. This means they have to keep spinning around to take turns talking to Airk.
      • At one point, Kit moves to stand next to Elora only for them to decide it's not as intimidating and return to the back-to-back bit.
    • What makes Boorman decide to jump off the cliff? The idea of listening to Willow talk of him being a great man is too much for him to take.
    • Boorman asks both Jade and Graydon if either of them want to make out before the apocalypse hits. Neither take him up on the offer.
    • Kit says she once tricked Airk into drinking huge amounts of vinegar by telling him he had a disease that would cause his digits to rot off. And she says this during their climactic confrontation with the Big Bad.
      • And, despite the point of this story being that Airk is singularly gullible, Elora asks if the disease really exists... showing she's equally as gullible.

    • It's only when they finally meet the Crone that Kit and Elora realize each went into this assuming the other one had a plan on what to do.
    • Boorman suggests to Graydon and Jade that the three of them camouflage themselves on the way to infiltrate the Crone's palace by covering themselves in dust. While they're hiding behind a rock at the start of the final stretch of their approach, Jade notes that they haven't encountered any hostiles along the way, and Boorman claims that they're hiding from them. Graydon then points out that if they're hiding from them, they already know they're there and they probably needn't have bothered with trying to stay hidden themselves.
    • Airk, still seeing the Crone under her disguise of a pretty young woman, allows her to kiss him. Cut to Kit and Jade witnessing it, seeing the Crone in her actual form of a decaying skeletal corpse. Both look appropriately disturbed.
    • When Kit is trying to get through to the brainwashed Airk, she calls him her brother and he responds by saying he's her king. Jade's reaction is one of pure disbelief, and she promptly ends the conversation.
  • Willow: Behind the Magic
    • The episode starts off as a straight behind-the-scenes look at the show but with an exaggerated version of Warwick Davis as a perfectionist, ill-tempered, conceited jerk.
    • Warwick takes a number of jobs he's not qualified for, including medic.
    • Fearful that Elora Danan will overshadow Willow, Warwick sabotages Ellie by refusing to pick her up from her house, snapping her wands, and locking her in her trailer.
    • "I invented the colon. Add a colon to the title and you can make the same movie over and over again." Warwick's ideas for Willow sequels include Willow: Bavmorda's Revenge, Willow: Lost in New York, Willow: Spring Break: Miami Beach, and Willow: Willow's Colon (a PSA about gastrointestinal health).
    • Warwick accuses Christian Slater of stealing the idea for Pump Up the Volume from him. This leads to a legendary feud between the two and drama when Slater comes on the set.
      Warwick: If you put Christian on Disney Plus, you're going to have to change the name to Disney Minus.
    • Warwick claims to have grossed $14.5 billion in box office revenue, to be King of the Ewoks, and to be Prince William's polo buddy.
    • Several clips of Amar sitting down in chairs and falling over.
