Review: Critical Role’s “The Legend of Vox Machina” Episodes 7-9

Written by on February 14, 2022

Episode Introduction

Happy Valentine’s Day. Brandon + Gabe = Review of episodes 7-9 of “The Legend of Vox Machina” from Critical Role and Prime Video. We’re in the stride. Everything feels cohesive (except for Pike’s story) and our episode notes are suffering from us being engrossed in the plot. By the end of this batch we’re rounding third and are on the cusp of the final action in the season. It’s pretty great so far and Brandon, who’s ignorant of all things Critical Role, is fully bought-in at this point. Also: it’s a spoiler review.

A couple of notes:

  • Next week’s review should come out on Tuesday because of the regular GGP release day.
  • These third batch of three episodes of this 12-episode series dropped on Thursday, Feb. 10 (EST). The final three episodes will release Thursday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. EST.

P.S.: Minimal editing on this one given the tight turnaround, folks. Forgive all the “ums,” “uhs,” and “likes.”
