To OP: Just a heads-up, Galio doesn't handle Talon at all. He's one of his few true counters in mid lane 'cause his passive scales on MR, not Armor. Sure, he could get some hybrid items like GA, Aegis or Chain Vest into Zhyonas, but by doing so he would sacrifice his whole early/mid game by rushing those items and that's a win IMO. Anyway, Galio farms at melee early game (or he'll run oom insanely fast) so it's very easy for Talon to stay at the 700 range of his Cutthroat. Starting at lvl 3 and as soon as Galio trys to punish you or farm with his Q just jump and unleash combo. He will only be able to shield half way and he's down by a lot of hp at that time. The key here for Talon is not pushing with W so that the enemy jungler can't really camp. You will deny Galio so hard it's not even funny. Rush a Hexdrinker after Brutalizer and Galio will be a sad sad sentinel.
